It's not like I'm bullied there or anything, but it's had a horrible affect on me. I'm in 12th grade and even though it's been over a year I'm scared to see a friend of mine who drove before because my school showed me really traumatic driving videos. Having OCD it's hard to forget things, and after seeing those videos I have a hard time understanding why anyone, especially my friend who saw the dangers, would want to do something like that. My teachers are also really fucking awful people, they never stop generalizing and saying awful things about freshman. I've sometimes found myself crying at the thought of going back there. I miss the old days when my friend didn't want to drive anymore than I do. I hate that scvholl more than anything and I'm glad it's almost over. It's done virtually no good for me.

    A lot of people do so much better and achieve, after leaving the confining environment of high school. My hs years were normal by most standards, I played sports, had friends, and did fairly well. But, even I felt..I can't wait to be out of here and away from all this. Really grew in college, when was around different people and views.

    I've also always felt that people who never leave town or their local area, are stunted. They're perenially in high school mode, go to all the football games, bonfires, and rah-rah at 30 years old when others are having actual lives. Look at your driving issue as a local thing. It's all mental, b/c you're in the same environment.

    My advice would be: get out of town. The driving thing will subside with time.

    They showed us graphic car wreck photos in hs that made me avoid being in a car for a year.

    Driving is a fear that can only ever go away with experience behind the wheel. 12th grade means you've been going to highschool for over three years. Very odd for a senior with their foot halfway out the door to bigger and better things to be so afraid.

    You'll have to face your fears or you're going to be controlled by them.
