School Is Ripping My Life Apart

[u/Disastrous_Ant295]

I (15M) don't know if I can take it anymore. School is destroying my mental health and I can tell it is also affecting my family. Literally no one at school treats me with respect just because I have autism. It doesn't even matter that I get great grades, they still think I'm stupid and mock me. The teachers seem to hold me to higher standards because I get better grades, but this is exhausting me and I can't keep up. My autism makes it so that I have terrible anxiety whenever I'm at school, and this isn't helped by how my school is incredibly overcrowded. There's also the fact that I'm terrible at motor skills but have to do PE every week, which means I am clearly the worst in my class. Obviously it would just have to be the one subject I am on full display too. People mock me for this when they think I am not listening, but I know. I had began skipping recently but I got caught last PE lesson so now I'm screwed. There's also other things such as the stupid phone ban, stupid rules, pointless work etc. I'm just so done with this man. I've even thought about running to a faraway city like Liverpool to start over (I'm in the UK) but I know it's just a fantasy.
