You know what?

Now that I'm waaaaaaaaaaay beyond school age, I can honestly say that I wish I'd made more of it while I was there. I wasted my time at school, I sometimes wonder what would have been different in my life if I'd done more with my time there.

I can't remember any of my school days. I must have a mental block to protect myself.

Not me. I look back with anger and hate really. Because of the bullying I underachieved and as such i'm more-or-less stuck putting useless grades on my CV. Because of poor further education guidance, I also ended up at a naff university too. I should just be grateful I got out alive.

I was just thinking about it the other day actually, how glad I am that I am out. As an adult, bullying in the workplace is fairly rare, and even when it does happen you have tribunals, unions, other departments, etc, all looking out for you. At school, you have nothing.

Getting knock down a flight of stone steps in the rush for dinners, it started off my spinal problems that I still suffer from and have left me disabled, it also stopped me joining the airforce when I was 17.

Having said that I liked school, maybe I was one of the lucky ones.

Maybe the older you get your memory starts to go, because I tend to look back with fondness on my school days. My worst day was being caught bunking off by the police, then being brought back to school and getting 6 of the cane, oh happy days.

Do I recount the tales of my youth or the tales of my servitude?;)

Nah! I'm not going to be a bore.I think everyone can come up with tales of bullying..and in the 50/60's things were much worse.Teachers did ignore the whole thing then and were also part of the problem..dodging blackboard rubbers was a regular thing.Now it's teachers who get bullied apparently.:rolleyes:

My experience is pretty much the same as yours. I used to fantasise into my 20's about mowing the whole lot of the cowardly bullying toerags dawn with a sub machine gun. My problems continued well after school with solvent abuse and drug abuse caused because of the general lack of self worth I felt about myself due to the miserable "god I wish I could swear now" gits who made my life hell for 10 years

Mad thing happened at the 10 year reunion at 25/26 years old the same bullies still tried to bully and intimidate me

Actually the OP asked about worst days not spiciest so my reply was on topic.;)

One of my worst days, and there were many; I was running to school, I was late, I could hear the school bell ringing. I was frantically trying to get there, before the bell stopped, when all of a sudden I slipped, and landed flat on my face. I got up quickly, puzzled as to what caused me to slip, when to my horror I looked down, and on the top of my white gym shoes was a heap of dog poo. I quickly scraped most of it off on the edge of the pavement, and proceeded running. When I eventually got into the classroom, I realised the smell was overpowering, I put my hand up to be excused, but the teacher insisted on knowing what was wrong. In front of the whole class I had to recount what had happened, everyone burst out in peals of uncontrollable laughter. I just wished the ground would have opened up, and swallowed me! :erm:

I hated every second of it! I'd have rather done 10 years in borstal.

I liked school, more fun than university. Although GCSE French was always pretty scary and AS physics, I just don't understand vectors :(
