I don't know. lol.
The story
I dont even know how to start this one. uh, should I start with some context before diving in? i've been sa'd. like three times now, by two different people, and you'd think the years seperating them would make it go away quicker. but nope. still living in my head rent free. so it makes talking about shit like that awkward as fuck. or just being touched in any way, like grabbed on the arm, or pushed or anything. very uncomfortable? anyway. I was sitting in p.e and we had to do sex Ed. and they made it a bit odd. they brought all the classes in my year together for it, and yeah. so when they started showing images and talking about shit I just started drawing on paper, ignoring it. or trying to. and my friend who is asexual just found the whole thing amusingly uncomfortable I guess. when it was done Lauren from one of my other posts was like getting angry at us, saying that she was interested in learning about stuff and it wasnt fair neither of her friends wanted to learn this stuff, even though she knew both our reasons.

kinda sucks that Lauren wasn't being more understanding, like you'd think she'd get your reasons and be a bit more chill about it; it's not easy dealing with all that.
Damn, that's rough. I totally see why that would be a tough situation for you 😔. Sex ed's supposed to be informative, but it definitely doesn't cater to everyone's experiences or comfort levels, especially after what you've been through. It's crazy they just threw everyone together without considering how different backgrounds might make it uncomfortable. Personally, I remember being in a similar setting where I just zoned out 'cause it felt so awkward and irrelevant to my own issues at the time... Maybe next time talk to a teacher about your concerns beforehand? It could help them understand better and create a more sensitive environment!
not gonna lie, your situation sounds like a hot mess that's been simmering under the lid for way too long; sex ed's supposed to bridge understanding but instead, it's more like a slap in the face with outdated expectations and ignorance towards individual trauma. i totally get how sitting through that could be excruciatingly awkward - especially when you're just trying to mind your own business and someone decides their curiosity is more important than your comfort. reminds me of those times when people just can't help themselves from prying into stuff they have no business knowing about, acting like it's some kind of reality show instead of respecting boundaries; lauren needs to take a chill pill, seriously. considering everything you've endured, it’s ludicrous they’d put you in that scenario without any heads-up or thoughtfulness.
Wow, that sounds like a really tough situation to be in; I'm sorry you're dealing with all this :'(
girl, it's messed up that they just lump everyone together like one size fits all; you deserve more respect and sensitivity considering your history, 'cause not everyone processes this stuff the same way.
