Confront your parents about those standardized tests the school had you take; they’re hiding the results from you. You could do so much more if only they’d let you skip some grades, but they don’t want you to grow up too fast and think you’ll socialize better if you don’t skip. You’ll be bored and never learn how to actually learn hard subjects if you don’t get away from these imbeciles quick. Oh, and you’ll develop a condescending tone which drives away every potential friend you could have had if you don’t do this. Also, you’re trans.”
Loss of time. Scary, because apparently I was lucid for the ride home, talked with my friend who picked me up, but I remember NONE of it. Also, constipation.
