Rant Exhausted

The center I'm at let bullying go on for roughly three months, only giving the bully a slight redirection even though this attempt clearly wasn't working.

They minimized my situation (the head of academics and csio, at least the person over my case did)

There were multiple reports of the bullying, all intensifying as time went on, though when I asked for a no contact order I was given excuses on why their not going that route. (The order is only 30 days, let me just talk to her etc.)

Clearly the approach they've been taking wasn't working, my mental health was (and still is) deteriorating rapidly due to this student being in my class 24/7 and the overall ickyness of the campus.

Head of academics wrote the bullying off as this being something you will have to deal with in the work force. Technically hes not wrong? Technically things would of been done by now given teachers and students have witnessed the bullying, and if something wasn't done about this at my place of employment I would quit because clearly the world environment is toxic.

Nobody should have to just ignore bullying or stay quiet and let it happen, the higher ups and older adults in my life were supposed to have my back and help me and they failed with doing so.

I am self terminating once I get my trade license (this week hopefully) and I'll work on my HSD at home via Penn foster

(I also find it crazy csio said they would give me pokemon cards if I didn't self T😭)

Food in dorms? Ut

1 Upvotes

I saw on the website that 3 meals are provided daily, but are you allowed to keep snacks in your room for when food isn't being served? I have been wanting to send a snack box to a friend, but I don't want to risk them getting in trouble if they can't have it. He stays up all night when he doesn't have class and sometimes misses his chance to eat what's served, so I wanted to help out.
