Is it normal my teacher said that.

So i just remembered a parent-teacher talk i had to sit through when i was ten. My teacher told my mom i was doing good in school and bla bla bla. Then she pointed out that when i draw people, i draw them from the bottom, up. Is that really important? Why would my teacher need to tell my mom that? Why would anyone care? Is it normal that my teacher mentioned that?

    OMG that means you're gay!

    J/k. Maybe she was just pointing out that you're different, since most people begin with the head. Or she could have just found it amusing and made a little joke about it.

    I can tell you right now. Teachers have a habit of talking about and pointing out unnecessary things and stressing certain matters that mean nothing when children are in school. When I was a child my teachers would point out” Your child has friends in 3 of their classes but not all of them" We think she may be having a problem. At the time I had a 2 year streak of B+ work and a 3.2 GPA.

    So they wanted me to screw around talking to friend instead of doing my work? Also its not necessary for children to have friends in every single class. It aggravated me that schools put so much stress int the fact we need friend and want to punish us for not having any.

    Also that year I had lost all my friends since they decided to become whores and all have sex with each other and I did not agree that 13,14 was the age you should be doing It. I even think 18,19,20 is more reasonable a age to be doings it as apposed to age 14.

    Teachers now a days like to be useless and stress useless matters that have no real significant. Children are expected to fit a profile they need good grades to please the adults never have a mind of their own and to have lots and lots of friends.

    If they find anything odd they will note it and bug you for it. That’s why schools and teachers are so aggravating so many of them are complete morons.

    She probably wasn't implying anything serious, just pointing out a quirk that you have. But frankly it seems more logical to draw someone from the bottom up, then you can properly position them on the ground! Often when I draw people I draw the head too low or high and have to start again, lest my person should be too tall or short. Smart kid, you were!

    That is normal, i draw from the middle out, sometimes bottom up or top down.

    I have some kind of recollection of my psych lecturer talking about this saying some people think it's linked to autism? don't take my word for it but maybe google it

    It was probably just interesting to her. Sounds like you were a pretty neat and special kid.

    When children draw in unusual ways like that, it's sometimes indicative of a neurological problem. Do you mean you were drawing starting with the feet and ending with the head, or that you were drawing from a bottom-up perspective, where you were looking up at the person from the floor?
