Trying To Bring Me Down

For some reason everyday seventh period I get put into a bad mood. Today I wasn't having a great day and I came into seventh period thinking optimistically that I could turn it around in there. But no. I was wrong.

My seventh period teacher yells at me for anything I do. If people in class are talking, I'm the one yelled at for it. If nobody is doing their work somehow I must've instigated it all. Today I was sitting there looking at my paper and I was yelled at for not working. I turned around and do you know what I saw? I saw 95% of the class doing the exact same thing, reading their paper. Somehow I needed to "get to work" and they didn't. Makes no sense to me. I've put forth my best effort in that class and always try to speak up and voice an opinion. I'm one of three boys in the class and the other two rarely say anything.

I think my problem is that I'm not like everyone else in my class. I don't mean to offend anyone in my seventh period class who reads this, but I'm not like you guys. They are,for the most part,  extremely artsy, musically gifted kids. I'm not. I play sports and speak my mind. My mind doesn't operate like the rest of that class. I'm not going to say, "Oh My God she's so perfect, I just love her," whenever someone in class gives an insightful answer. And I'm not going to just sit there and let someone go on a feminist rant. Not because I'm an anti-feminist, but because I love arguing and because I have points against their arguments. I'm not going to play dumb and sit in the back of class minding my own business just to avoid conflict.The boys in the other class this teacher has are different from me as well. Most of them fit into the artsy group and those who don't fit that category are the ones who sit there and don't say anything. I refuse to do that.

Frankly I don't care what my teacher thinks of me. I've expressed myself in my writing and through class discussion. They can tell me to be quiet or to pay attention as many times as they want. I'll just laugh it off because I know that everyone else in class is in the same boat as me, they just aren't being reprimanded for it. I don't know where they come from and they don't know where I come from. I'm not there to judge them and if they choose to judge me, then so be it.

I'm just mad that I let it put me in a bad mood.
