This is me with life.
Other people give me anxiety in every regard and I often find myself wanting to simply hide.

Being stuffed in a room with 20 others to sit still for 6 - 12 hours is just inhumane.
suicidal you say ?
Air pollution linked to higher suicide risk, international research suggests
Analysis of 29 studies highlights potentially heightened danger from small particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide
I would argue that rich people systematically destroying everything they can has a LOT more of an impact on mental health than air pollution
My school lied to me about my Honors placement test to keep me in the remedial classes. One of the reasons I wanted to get out of them was because I was getting bullied. They also told me that I would be happier if I wasn't at risk of failing a class. I hate that school and I want my diploma voided.
I genuinely don't think I actually learnt anything in school.
I was an avid reader so I always new about this stuff before they brought it up in class, plus they taught me a bunch of stuff that subsequently turned out to be false. Like the obvious lie that the tongue has regions on it.
The only interesting thing we did at school was when my science teacher blew up the classroom.
I learned a fair amount in school, and I've learned to hate bullies and their types with such an extreme disdain that it's entirely irrational how much so.
I think you're being too harsh on educators. The vast majority of educators I encountered went into the field to support children to create opportunities for them to thrive and grow.
It is a self-sacrificing profession that requires an unbelievable amount of commitment, and has uncountable factors working against it.
It is attacked by politicians, it is attacked by the general public, who feel they are experts on the profession because they went to school... It is attacked at the state level, and at the district level.
Teachers are fighting against turning kids into data points for college and career readiness, which view kids as cogs in the economic wheel, and not humans that have a civic duty to grow into their fullest selves.
You can hate on education all you like, but educators are the ones on the ground trying their best to make it something worthwhile.
There are just a lot of factors that are in play that prevent teachers from being able to teach and be teachers first and foremost.
Virtually no educators are blaming video games. This is an idiotic strawman
Sorry. Before your edit, it appeared you we're referring to the meme as if the meme was stating an established fact.
every currently working teacher i know at least lived through the arcade era (i'm tired that came out weird. you know what i mean). the ones that graduated before 1972 are mostly retired and dead.
They may have lived through the arcade era.
But how many of those have played there and havent become desinterested in games?
And how many transformed into video game haters (just like the radicalization of democratic left-leaning olks into right/far-right leaning for all the wrong reasons)
Even today most I know (of >40 y/o adults) arent even interested in games or at least keep the interest under locks.
I'd assume at most <25% of teachers have any interest in video games.
And of those 25% maybe only 10% have any interest in actual modern games and not just digital board games and casual games.
I'd compare it to Anime.
Maybe a 2:1 or 3:1 distribution (Games : Anime)
Tap for spoiler
Those numbers are my own observation.
So Video games it is!

PS. School was terrible back in the day too, at least people don't dare to beat people up and assault as much nowadays as they'd get filmed.
