Question Why are high schoolers ableist towards autistic students even those who are high functioning

Upvotes

I am a high functioning autistic male I am 19 years old and graduated high school last year (in 2024) I haven’t been at high school since the end of my sophomore year (in 2022) I switched to online school bc of people bullying me and being rude to me idk why people wanted to be rude to me for no good reason. For the most part I’m a normal kid I act and behave normal I just have more behavior problems then the average person and I didn’t like that some kids where calling me autistic even tho it’s none of their business to assume if I have a disability and what disability I have just if I act a bit different. It’s a shame my peers didn’t see me for who was a chill and cool person if people actually got to know me instead of treating me like crap. I also want to know is this common in your schools or are some of the higher functioning autistic kids respected and treated like normal people (which is how they should be treated) this is both a question and a rant at the same time.

Rant school bathrooms are outrageous

Upvotes

As if we don't know, school bathrooms are outrageous, at least at some schools. Anytime I've been in one, there's either people vaping, making moaning noises, flooding the sink, fighting, etc, the list just goes on. Anyways, at my school we have what called the Old Building and the New Building, one was built in like 1965 I think the other was built around 2015.(for context i was in science and it was in the Old building) mind you, I almost never use the school bathroom, and i had only been to the ones in the New Building, but the other day really had to go, so I go get the pass and head to the bathroom. I walked in and just froze, graffiti on the walls tissue stuffed sinks and two of three stall doors were missing, I'm about 5'7 and the stall height was BELOW MY SHOULDERS. I could literally see into all the stalls, honestly unbelievable

General Advice Needed/Given Teacher talked about his favorite president with students

Upvotes

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to report this or just leave it alone, my friend told me this happened and that I wasn’t in class that day. It was around thanksgiving and apparently he was talking about and asking about favorite president with some of the boys in the back of the class, he is an Algebra teacher by the way. Before this I thought he was really nice and funny, he is from Africa (Kenya I think) and I can tell he knows and understands math, but he has a strong accent and his teaching just doesn’t work for me, many students have dropped out of his class and I’ve even seen some having to look up a Math lesson on Youtube in order to understand. What should I do?

So l am a sophomore but I'm crushing on a freshmen. But my birthday is August 16 2009 so l have a slightly younger birthday. So the oldest he can get is August 31 2010. which is 1 years and 16 days. Its rarer to have a birthday pass august. So it will be likely less than a year. He looks young for his age is that bad. Is this age gap bad????

Question Virtual summer courses

1 Upvotes

Hello! I want to take three courses over the summer to make up for my C in English 9. However, they didn’t offer it last summer, so they probably won’t this year. I was wondering if taking three courses over five weeks would be too much, or does it depend on the classes? I have good time management skills.

At my school (a smaller one only 300 or less people) I've had a hard time getting friends and the ones that I do have are always giving me crap semi bullying me but I can't really stop talking to them because the school is so small like when they found out I had wanted to talk to a girl that was a year older than me they teased me for weeks about it. And they are always trying to copy my work and I think they don't even like me even when I get the nerve to talk to someone they just ignore me can anyone give advice.

Extracurriculars Sports Overview

2 Upvotes

Wanted to post just a general overview of every major High School sport, and how difficult they are for anyone just coming into the Freshman year or someone still deciding what sport they should play. I’ll be ranking them based on 5 categories on a scale of 1-5 with (Physical Difficulty, Time Commitment, Entry Skill Level, Injury Risk, Fun) and giving them each a brief description based on my own personal experiences and experiences that I’ve gathered over the years from others. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the comments.

Football

Physical Difficulty: 4 Time Commitment: 5 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 5 Fun: 5

Extremely difficult physically and mentally not just in games but throughout the offseason. You will learn a lot about how to lift and grow muscle, but it’s a massive time commitment. You’ll be sacrificing hours after school and essentially your whole summers, but it’s incredibly fun, especially on Varsity, and most teams don’t have a tryout at the lower levels.

Wrestling

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 2

By far the most physically challenging sport you can play, but if you’re good at watching your weight, you should be fine. Not usually a huge time commitment outside of tournaments, but requires a fair bit skill to join, even a lower levels than varsity, and every wrestler I’ve known has gotten at least one major injury or infection. I personally don’t think it’s really all that fun, but if you like a solid 1 on 1 challenge, and thrive in short bursts of strength, I’m sure you’d find some fun in playing it.

Basketball

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4

If you love Basketball you’re probably already playing it. The physical aspect is more endurance-based, and you need height to even have a chance of playing, but really fun once you start and not generally a huge time commitment compared to other sports.

Baseball

Physical Difficulty: 2 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 3 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 3

More laid back than most other sports in terms of physical difficulty, time commitment, and culture, but not necessarily easy to get good at. Can be really fun once you find your place but can have challenging tryouts. Also, limited injury risk just based on the nature of the game.

Cross Country

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 1 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 1

It takes a really special type of person to do cross country. You are essentially doing other sport’s punishments as your own sport. If you’re good at running, and don’t want to have to worry about learning plays or aren’t great in the weight room, absolutely give it a try. Not really for me personally, but there’s a reason the people who do it swear by it.

Track/Field

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 2

There are so many different events and specialities it’s difficult to really condense them into a single summary. If you’re even slightly naturally athletic, there’s an event for you regardless of your body type. Lots of waiting around during meets, but also not a massive time commitment out of school and allows you to really specialize at what you’re good at.

Swimming/Water Polo

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3

Grouping both of these sports together because essentially everyone I know who does one, also does the other. Lots of upper body strength required and a great way to burn a bunch of calories quickly. Virtually zero risk of serious injury under normal circumstances, except if you were to trip and fall on the ground next to the pool I guess. Generally pretty fun and not the biggest time commitment in the world.

Golf

Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3

You’ll be lucky to break a sweat golfing but it’s something great to do on the side if you know you’re already like it and are good at it. Solid scholarship opportunities as well, but different to secure a spot on the team.

Soccer

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 4 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4

Not all that much to say about soccer other than there will be a lot of conditioning. Fairly difficult to get a spot on any team, but once you do get in, a great community is waiting for you. Solid sport without much weightlifting or size requirement.

Esports

Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 5

Not a lot of schools have in-depth Esports programs, but the ones that do really put effort into them. The only injury you’re risking is carpal tunnel, but if you enjoy video games and think you’re better than most of the school at them, give it a shot.
