This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

OP was probably saved by that final exam score. Judging from the opening from the text, it seems they were not putting much effort into the class. Sometimes a teacher needs to be stupid for a student to realize they can be smarter.
Yeah, that was me in school. Never did homework, but aced the tests. A few teachers made me take tests sitting next to them because they thought I was cheating.
The fine line between being put on a podium for being gifted (and thus getting bullied), being severely mistrusted because your genius shows up inconsistently (and not getting diagnosed ADHD), and getting victimized by a teacher because you unintentionally brought light on their own mediocrity (because you're autistic).

Personal experience says there is no line there. It can certainly be both -_-
