My friends and I were having lunch yesterday and two of my friends talking about the year 11s and their leavers hoodies. They were talking about how it was a little unfair that we didn’t get to wear our hoodies last year during exams but they do. A teacher (not really liked by my group) overheard this and joined in the conversation, to which no one has asked him to join in on and he started talking about how “if you think about it, it’s easy to hide flash cards and take them into the exam as you just need to shove it down your bra.” I only heard some of the conversation but my friends and I all went silent because it was so awkward and made us uncomfortable. Also it’s not the first time he’s said stuff like this. I can’t really remember how the hell he made that link to the year 11s wearing hoodies during their GCSEs (but as I said before I only heard a bit of the conversation). It was so weird especially because it was the end of lunch and there weren’t many people around and he wasn’t asked anything.
I should also mention this dude has a wife and kids.
He’s made similar weird comments before e.g. telling a student last year (whilst we were in year 11) that he “bet she knew what 6 inches looked like.” It definitely wasn’t in an innocent way either just… very weird.

P.s. turns out the year 11s can wear them around school but not actually in their exams.

I told my friend late one night that I wanted to get drunk and asked her to come with me. She replied instantly and said yes because we’re mentally unstable and think drinking might help a bit. My sister has got us drinks and everything but to be honest, I know this is a sign of me going mental. I hated it last time (as I overdosed and got extremely sick because of it to the point where I couldn’t even walk). I’m scared of alcohol because my sister almost died from alcohol poisoning and she now has permanent liver damage because of it. In all honesty, this is a cry for help but I think my (also mentally unstable friends) just think it’s something to take our minds off of stuff. For me it’s like wanting to gain control over something people close to me have lost it over or more likely wanting something to have control over me so I don’t have to feel. I’m trying to hide it from most people because I’m ashamed. I’ve already got so much alcohol and I’m scared I’ll get to the point of blackout all because of my impulses and tendency to seek out things that’ll make me feel good in the moment. I’m worried I’ll become an alcoholic. I don’t even want to this.
