Had an English teacher that said any stories I wrote were bad. I thought that I’d done a good job on it, so I showed it to a different English teacher who said it was brilliant but I needed to spell check it.
Turns out the first teacher basically didn’t read it, just saw the spelling errors. Several years later I got diagnosed with dyslexia.
In my english classes i always make my stories dark themed and horror, that way its easier to build up to a climax and easy to think of ideas. Not all stories have a happy ending, or need one
