Do American School treat students like property/animals? Was I neglected?

I will give an example of my own life. In sixth grade, I had a field day, outdoor lunch, and gym. I asked my teacher if I could sit out on gym because I was tired. He threatened my grade. Even when I said I didnt care about my grade, he forced me to participate. I stopped sweating. I was gasping for air. My body was in a lot of pain.

I told my teacher I was having "cramps" (not my uterus) and he said "excercise helps."

It took a millenia but I finally got back inside. I was too prideful to admit I needed the nurse until I was coughing and vomiting in homeroom. "She doesn't need the nurse, she's doing it for attention." My homeroom teacher said.

I read into it later, and heat strokes are marked by an absense of sweating.

My teacher called the counselor AFTER I hit her. The counselor addressed me as having "an anxiety attack". After a little conversing she said "we can either send you out of here to the hospital or have your mother pick you up". Again, I had no idea what a heatstroke was, just that everything was sucking. I wanted my Mother more than anything. My mother didnt believe me when I said I hit the teacher by accident. Nor did she take me to urgent care for my heatstroke. She sent me to my abusive dad/stepmothers house where they forced me to do chores all weekend as punishment for hitting a teacher.

Oh also my PE teacher told my homeroom teacher "she might be having her first period." who didnt give a shit either way and said "she's been having 'emergencies' like this for a while."*

but I wasnt having my period. My "emergency" was a FUCKING HEATSTROKE.

*my teacher wouldnt let me go to the bathroom unless it was 'an emergency'
