I so desperately want to help the ones who fell through the cracks of the school system

I f***ed up at school, I was one of the lost causes who ended up in trouble all of the time. I still scraped through and just about got some grades to get me into college. I suppose this should mean I can move on now.

But I’m not over school, the whole process has left me feeling kind of broken. I have a story to tell and I don’t know what to do with it. I really think there are kids out there who have potential yet just don’t fit in with the structure of it all. The system doesn’t work for everybody and I’ve been there. I know how hard it is and I wish somebody had reached out their hand to me and told me all of the things I know now. It’s too late for me but it’s still happening to other high school students and the thought of that makes me feel really sick.

I am seventeen and have gained enough perspective to look back on it and reflect. I wasn’t in the right, but my school handled it so badly that now I have a million and one psychological issues that are going to be a struggle to shift.

I like to write and have written about my experience of school. I’d love to share it somehow in the hope that I can give people like me the chance to relate to something, because I wanted that so badly in those days. I felt like the only one on the planet.

I just don’t know how to go about this. Any suggestions?
