As a young girl I always hated school, it was a waste of my time and the other kids weren't always very nice. All my life I have had this same dislike for school, it got to the stage where I was only going because my mum made me. Over the years I have changed shcools 15 times and settleing back in was starting to become a problem. In year nine I got into a fight and was sent home for three days, after this my mum and I realised that I would not be going back to shcool. The next year I found a job at a takeaway shop not far from my house, about six months later I left my job and turned to continuing with my education.

If you have any similar stories about your time at shool please write in and let others know that they are not alone. Mant people find school hard to cope with and would graetly benefit from the TAFE atmosphere.
