    I hate it!! Right now, in my English class, we are doing a poetry unit. It is such a waste of time! Every single day, my teacher makes us write at least 3 to 4 poems AND make us read it in front of the class. What really pisses me off is when I write about something, and it is kinda personal, she still makes me read it. She says "Oh, well that's too bad". Doesn't she have respect for anyone's privacy.

    You should see her. If we are not looking directly at her the ENTIRE time she will flip out say something like "PAY ATTENTION!!!! Do you want to stay after school and clean my tables??? Well?? THEN KNOCK IT OFF!!!". Damn, what a b****.

    Anyway, I better get to writing my 3 "Ottava Rima" poems...

    Right now in English class, I'm doing 'The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet'. We should be doing poetry soon. I don't mind it, but if my teacher was a ***** like yours I would hate it

    Start writing poems entitled 'black' about the darkness in everything, or maybe saying how you know everyone's out to get you, they're always staring... they just don't see what you see... that might put her off having you read them out

    Why don't you just leave the page blank? That way you won't have to read anything out to the class

    It could resemble the "emptiness" you feel

    I wrote a poem once because I had to and my teacher said I'd put no effort in and made me read it...next time round I think I scared a few people...it was really disturbing...think Eminem's bad dreams
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".
