RE: Skiing & my No Love, Just Hate relationship with it

Geez what an asshole! Some teachers and some humans just are like that. I've encountered few of that kind too. Most in school surroundings. There are number of ways to make a persons life horrible and school surroundings is by far the most common and the worst place.
And then there are those teachers pets and those who had tons of friends who come and say: "I had the best time at school and everyone and everything was great and perfect!" Some even may add: "It must have been your attitude that made people treat you differently." Which always amazes me how stupid people can be. How they do not realize that the world just does not treat people the same. We are supposed to be equal but we aren't. Because of assholes that have more power or authority or prestige and use it badly. Decide that because of something they dislike, that person there does not deserve a chance. Or their nice attitude.
Phew.
Got that out of my system.
I hate skiing too. Similar humiliating experiences. "Lost" my one ski to the woods when I was 10 years old and never again skied. My skis always mysteriously broke, got lost or I just "forgot" them home.
Usually though liked PE classes. Almost in everything else I was good or mediocre. Except always got chosen last to any teams because people thought that I sucked. Because they hated me. Or the most popular ones at least did. And if I didn't suck, they thought it was an exception. But when I did screw up with something, not catching the ball or something else that is perfectly natural to anyone, failing from time to time, they remembered that always. So I sucked in their minds. I did though always have the grade 8, 9 or 10 in PE. (4 being the worst and 10 being the best.) And it was not a pity number given by the teacher. 10 was sometimes hard to get, but I got if few times as there thankfully was other things to do at winter when I was a teenager, than just skiing. Loved ice skating.
But geez what an asshole your teacher really was!

Lol! Your comment was so long @tts actually thought it was a post and made a TTS out of it!
Yeah, it's weird how at one point classes in school could be divided into groups - mainly the popular jocks and the quiet innocent kids (nerds). The jocks were all on about sports and drinking at someone's place on weekends (and probably desperately trying to hook up with eachother) while the silent kids.. were just eh silent and put their time and thoughts into studying and didn't drink or do anything wild.
Some of the jocks also put effort into studying, so they became teachers pets really easilly even outside of P.E class.
And I was kind of inbetween. Bad at sports, not interested in sports, not too into studying hard, got okay grades, wanted to hang out with all kinds of people but wasn't accepted by the jocks, had just 2-3 friends from the silent folk (not that I'm not grateful for them but just the punk in me wanted to do something fun and crazy from time to time and they weren't the kind of people who would).
Plus I was bullied (verbally / mentally) at my first school by kids older than me, then changed schools after yr 7 and was bullied by younger kids (wtf?) until I got fed up with everyone and everything in that town and moved to capital city when I was 17. (Took my last year in an adults high school with no pause inbetween, no bullying there because most of the students were adults just trying to get their high school graduated).
Nowadays if I stumble upon someone's profile I knew from that town or school on any social media or see them somewhere in person, I just cringe and don't want anything to do with them.
I always read @tts as tits which might not be that peculiar, several people may also read it like that or see that happen easy. But keeping that in mind, my next comment might be a bit funny.
I GOT MY FIRST @TTS!
At least in my mind it is. :) Anyway, back to the subject.
You comment is like words from my mouth! I always thought too that I didn't fit to any group. I wanted to do little bit of everything (with few exceptions) and not concentrate on things most teenagers thought was important. Studying wasn't my number one priority but then again I wasn't a juvenile criminal either. I was mad at shitty scumbag people but didn't rebel that much. Only a little.
I am so glad that I am an adult now and I never have to be anywhere where crappy people are or do stuff that I don't want to. Well, again with few exceptions, I do have to go to work and stuff, but that's the work that I chose, not what someone else chose for me.
