Friday

Got to economics, sat down. Everyone else (including the teacher) were late. When they arrive conversation starts up. Boy one finds a disc and puts it on his finger like a ring. It gets stuck. Boy two brutally tears disc off Boy one's finger. Finger swells slightly. Teacher explains he has packed away our lesson plan and has found an alternative task. Boy one tells teacher how he scored almost top marks on a Geo test, but failed the other tests so badly he only got a C. While he explains he puts the disc back on the same finger. Another member of the class mock his failing, pointing out he's stupid enough to get his finger stuck on the disc twice. Boy two looks over, sees disc on finger and pulls the disc off his finger. Taking skin with it. Blood is dripping onto the table. My teacher asks the class if we'd rather have a discussion or independent research lesson. No one is paying attention to him, so he questions me directly and sends me on my way while the boys make jokes about Boy ones stupidity and bleeding finger.

When I complain about the stupid guys that are the rest of my class, I'm not being sexist, they just conform to the stereotype.
