It didn't hurt that back then I weighed almost 300 lbs.
[glow=green,2,300]You still weigh almost 300 lbs.[/glow]
You be quiet.

*Shrugs*
I weigh between 250 and 300...
It's not how much you weigh, it's the muscle to fat ratio and how you throw your mass around. (Let's just say that 300 pounds, put behind a punch or kick travelling at ten miles an hour, as a low estimate of speed, means I can impact with roughly 3000 pounds of force through momentum.)

*Shakes his head*
I haven't. Seen it done... sorta... (Felt it more than saw it... let's just say it was my instincts in action...) But never threw a desk.

Emotional breakdowns are a bitch.

No, he wasn't having a breakdown, just having a temper tantrum....
The irony is, I had something telling me I NEEDED to get out of the classroom RIGHT NOW and I listened to it...
About five seconds after I slipped out the door (without permission, technically, but considering what happened next, no one blamed me) one of my classmates lost it and threw a desk across the room... nearly took out a computer.
I was the first student out of the room because I had that Instinct telling me to evac, but the teachers sent the rest of the class out when that happened.

No, I had the breakdown. math sucks, but for her to call me a cow was the last straw.

Oh, I know what you mean.
I stopped riding the bus and started WALKING the two miles from school to my apartment (through a gang's, 5th Avenue's, turf, I might add) because it's one thing when other students tease and torment you on the bus (Them I could put the Fear of God into... or at least the Fear of Magnus... *smirks* Few people want to mess with a guy who can be sent flying five feet, hit his head on a metal bus seat leg, and come up smirking and ready to go another round or ten...)...
But it's a whole different damn thing when it's the BUS DRIVER AND MONITOR who are the ones doing it!

Exactly. You expect it from your peers. Somedays just didn't feel right unless at least one classmate threatened my life. But to hear insults from the people that are supposed to be responsible is just... disconcerting, to put it lightly.

That, my friend, is the difference between a Teacher and an Educator...
A Teacher teaches, they nurture, they find a student's strengths and help them grow, when a student has a problem a Teacher will sit and talk with them, Teachers are great...
Unfortunately, most of what we've got nowadays is Educators. Educators don't have a damn clue what they're doing, Educators are the ones who are afraid to punish a student if that student is on one of the school's sports teams, Educators would rather punish the students that are the targets but retaliate openly instead of punishing the bullies who sneak around behind backs and away from security cameras, Educators wouldn't sit and talk to a student if the student's life depended on it - they'd just call the parents and suspend the student or stick them in ISS/Detention...
In case you can't tell, I've had my share of dealing with Educators (and Amanda's had her's, we all know, and Jessica her's...)...

I have never met a "Teacher." *Takes two shots.* To Ms. Stiritz and Mr. Hogan. How they put up with me, I'll never know.

I've never pretended I was Superman.
