Today was one of my worst days.

I went into school today with a sore head and I ended up coming home feeling terrible.

Firstly, our school took face shots today. Photos with only us in it, to be blown up to immense sizes.

I've always twitchy and paranoid about photos, but this made me just feel awful. I basically refused to have it taken, and my class tutor roared in my face. I tried to explain, and felt quite upset (not that I showed it) but she didn't listen, and threw detention and extra homework in my face.

As well as this, some of my friends have been drifting away from me lately, and I feel kinda isolated. They won't tell me why they're abandoning me.

I'm doing the homework now, but my head won't stop hurting, and it's getting worse. I feel worse than I have in a long time.

This is more a vent thread, but any advice?
 
It seems like you should be able to talk to your principal about the photo thing. That's kind of bullshit that you got in trouble for not doing it, when some people have legitimate beliefs about getting your picture taken (such as that it steals part of your soul), who are still very much around today. They can't hold something like that against a person, so if you've got something about cameras, no one should be able to force you to have it done. Like I said, if I were you, I'd take it up with the principal about this class tutor of yours, because they shouldn't be able to get away with punishing you.

Drifting friends really sucks, but it happens. If they're not going to talk to you, then, realistically, there isn't much you can do about it. You'll make new ones. You know what they say, "friends come and go".
 
Some friends you could lose easily and you might not get them back,but an advice,go up to them and start a chat,its an advice for everyone showing concern 4 themselves being lonely.

I completely understand. I've not had a picture taken of me in nearly six years. Besides the specifics of photos, you shouldn't be forced into something that both you don't like, and two is stupid and every one will forget in three ish years.

Teachers are morons, don't let them bug ya. Just keep in mind that most teachers are only teachers because they aren't good at anything else.

If you have extra homework, just fly through it and do it. Show the teacher that it doesn't matter what barriers are thrown up in your face, because you'll never back down.

The only thing I can think of for this is to do anything you can to get into a face to face conversation with them and say "What's up" or something. It's hard to ignore a person when they've forced you into a face to face discussion.
 
About one or two months to be precise.Though I can't narrow it down

I used to hate photo days too. Photographs rarely catch me at a good moment so I can understand this. I always saw them as unavoidable though, but if you are really anxious about photographs then perhaps you should go to see your tutor or some other member of staff at the school that you can trust and talk about this with them and ask if there is anything you can do.

No matter what though, your teacher should not have given you extra homework and a detention. That's quite out of order, but I guess she probably thought you were just messing about.

I think this happens from time to time. I personally don't understand why people abandon friends, but they do and they don't always mean it in a hurtful way. Sometimes people just naturally (and sadly) drift apart.

Are they making new friends and broadening their circles? With my friend circle I'm experiencing something similar, except I rarely see them anymore. They're making more friends in different places and are more interested in them than they are talking to me at the moment.

I think it's just the way things happen sometimes. If they're ignoring you however perhaps you should just ask. If it seems as if they really are not going to speak to you much anymore then perhaps be blunt and ask them what the hell the matter is.

Make sure they are abandoning you before this though, or it might make things awkward and worse. It might just be that you are sensitve with your headaches and the photography incident, and therefore you might be noticing something that doesn't exist, or is a result of all of this. If this has been going on for a while, however, perhaps you should just ask, or ask around with other people who might know (easier said than done, I guess).

I'd actually prefer to think I'm going into teaching because I enjoy teaching and am good at what I do. That being teaching.


Also, in this case, most kids are fine with getting their picture taken. Or doing whatever. Those who don't, in most cases, are just being difficult. There are a few, like Diar, with legit reasons, but it's hard to believe them because of the ones who are just putting the teacher on because they can't be bothered being told what to do.
 
Hey, I've been having the same problems with friends, I'm alone a lot and dont get out much anymore. Just remember, there are people on this forum to talk to if you get lonely
(like me). As for the head, just sleep it off, I know that from experience.
