The garbage I went thru at the first high school I went to---all those times I told myself to 'suck it up,thinking I was weak--that *wasn't* true.
The teachers I encountered I have no doubt left unhealthy impressions not just on the already maladjusted but *girls* as well, esp. with the silly oblivious semi-macho "our gang" underlying a lot of the male teachers and their nepotism, having known one another back before the high school was built and there was an "all boys" school... -~- I don't care if that school was at one pt. taught by clerics, but no disrespect to their "pastoral ability" but imo as (and I know I might be stereotyping personalities here) seeing as how "less than kinesthetically inclined workers/'intellectual' ppl" might lean at least a little bit on the side of the adjective 'nebbish' , I doubt that any effectual engagement would've been done to prevent a/o mitigate the "our gang" attitude of the male teachers when they were teens.
-~- That and how gender intersectionality's significance hadn't caught on the same way even as fairly recently as the mid 90's as it now,without even having to get into details on how it'd be pulled off in a 'Catholic' school >~< "-~- .

Sometimes I imagine the voices of teachers I've disliked including my (first main community college lab instructor) saying "well suck it up buddy","that's your problem", "You get it ?" with an underlying intimidating expression ready to scowl and stupid undertones. What get's to me is how two teachers who I liked (one who did stuff involving cross-country and who taught my sister g.9 English and the other something of a hockey coach who's class I actually got thru in spite of late '07 garbage) were associated/friends with the real estate agent and the geography teacher who got together sometimes with the real estate agent.
<"-_- I can imagine something of a stupid laugh from the real estate agent..zoom out and fade like if it was animated movie supervillian>.
