since joining this school I've attempted suicide so many times istg bro this school is such a pathetic excuse they say theyre supportive and helpful but I get actually harassed and attacked and they do nothing about it pluh this school is the reason I'm suicidal

I hate this school. my maths teacher gives us homework every single day and expects us to watch different videos even on days we don't have maths, the amount of homework is so overwhelming that I have passed out from exhaustion doing it, and nearly killed myself. I'm transgender, bisexual and autistic, which the school claims to support, yet they don't. I haven't come out in fear of how people will react, only a few people that I'm very close with know. I get called "emo" every single day. I'm constantly told to kill myself and/or cause physical harm to myself, and for what? All because I'm slightly different. Harassed to the point of attempting suicide, just because I act differently. Only because I don't like eye contact, I'm always either too loud or too quiet according to others, and all of my interests are "childish" or "weird". Despite my attempts, the staff members have done nothing about any of this. I've been given detentions for not taking off my hoodie in pe (WHICH IS PART OF THE REQUIRED PE KIT) because I don't want people to see my self-harm scars. The PSE lessons have contributed to me developing an eating disorder, and I'm also constantly ridiculed for getting distracted, not making eye contact, or "having attitude" (I am autistic and I have ADHD, eye contact and similar things are very stressful for me and I can't help getting distracted easily.). This school is horrible. Also, most of the teachers act like complete and utter pedophiles.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this school. I'll just make a list of things that have happened that I can remember from the top of my head.
- Even outside of school, I was being bullied by numerous people that I won't name for obvious reasons. They would mock me just because I was quiet.
- The teachers. Especially one in particular. They ignore bullying and harassment but they shout at you for minor inconveniences. Even when someone has a time-out pass they make a big deal out of it.
- The support. I'm talking about counselling, passes etc. It's almost impossible to get support because they never really try to do anything about it.
Eventually the bullying and harassment got so bad I attempted suicide. I also developed a self harm addiction which also links to the support. They did nothing. I just wish they cared about their students mental health.

horrible. one of the worst experiences of my life. everywhere is constantly overcrowded from classrooms to the canteen. despite it supposedly being autistic friendly teachers have still done things like forcing me to look them in the eyes to the point of crying, shaming me for stimming etc. the pure stress from being in this school caused me to attempt suicide twice within three years of joining. me and many friends struggle greatly with mental health and while claiming to care the school clearly only says this to fulfill a requirement. casual racism, homophobia and transphobia are common. as a bisexual I cannot count how many times I have been called a slur. their reaction to covid has been awful online school was stressful as we were often given little to no direction and sympathy for going through a pandemic was nowhere to be found. in coming back to school I have been forced to stay outside while it is tipping down with rain multiple times as the school often fails to react in a timely manner. this school has made my life a living hell.
