Aspies For Freedom

Hey all,

I recently went through my breakdown... still am actually...

I checked myself into the hospital... everyone's saying "If the rest of the world is saying you're wrong... then you probably are..."

Let me give you some insight:

I'm a senior in high school.
I have enough credits to be a sophomore in college.
By the end of the summer I'll have enough to be a junior.
The only reason I'm in high school is to get a 1/4 credit of 'Physical Education' (for those of you who aren't in the US, this means that you run around throwing balls to teach you how to humiliate other people).
I am not behind, I could have, in fact, graduated as a junior.
I managed to get my senior English and Civics credit as a Junior.
My grades are ***.
I'm always bored.
I feel that I am being held against my will.
I am supposed to go to Rochester Institute of Technology for college next  year.

I am so depressed that I have to sit in 7 periods of being bored bored bored. The principal at my school is a total ego-tistical son of a ***.

I don't know what to do.

Please give me suggestions!? Am I wrong for feeling like my fundamental rights are being violated. There's only a few weeks left at school but I'm feeling like I'm in prison for a crime I didn't commit. I keep asking myself what Thomas Jefferson would do...

Oh yeah,

So I went to the psych ward. All the did was tell me to suck it up and they gave me MORE antidepressants and I faked my way out of it. I feel like every system in our society isn't performing their function.

My principal loves men.

Yeah, I've been in a mental hospital three times, longest trip was for a month, while I was waiting for a room in a residential placement faciclty (a cross between a group home and a psych ward) to open up. I never got physically restrained in any way, shape, or form, but some kids did, and the mental hospital was allowed to use restraints. I remember one kid was strapped down for, oh, at least 3 hours.
*shudders at memories

By the way: don't they realize that the reason you're not in the dayroom is because you're sane, and all the other people are violent and insane? That makes more sense to me than the way they see it.
