If I Would Pick A Phrase To Describe School, I Would Go With Living Hell
Part 2
by Nancy R. FennSocial Pressure Makes It Difficult
Many introverts we interviewed mentioned how annoying social pressure was, even from Day One, the "first day of school". "I hated the kids," says one introvert. "They were all stupid and mean." Another introvert agrees, "...pure torture, compliments of the peer group." "I'd rather not remember," says another. "The entire thing was just a flash of boredom, humiliation and depression."
One man elaborated on his experience with social pressure saying, "I know that I used to hate going to school because of the social pressure. At one point I think I used to be a bully. I think this was mainly because of my parents splitting up but I think the fact that I couldn't become friends with them also contributed."
A young woman made this comment, "I liked my pre-school and I liked elementary until the 3 rd grade when I had a very snappy and unstable teacher, and then every year, despite having more good teachers after that, got worse and worse because the kids got manipulative, insecure, competitive, cliquish, hateful, etc., and I just couldn't conform, so I was ostracized and picked on relentlessly until I started high school at a new school."
Social pressure is an ongoing challenge for introverted children. Some come to terms with it better than others, such as this woman who dumbed down to fit in.
She explains, "I loved elementary school. I loved the attention, but had to 'dumb myself down' to fit in. I can especially recall a penmanship/spelling exercise in first grade. The teacher made us write our names on the first day of class, and then again on the last day. Long forgotten papers from the first day were returned.
As [the teacher] handed them out, waves of laughter erupted around me. "Look how I used to spell my name!' was a popular comment in the cluster of kids around me. Well, I was appalled. I spelled my name right the first day, just like I did that day, but I couldn't stand the feelings of alienation that were now commonplace. I quickly changed the spelling of my name, quickly blending in, which felt more comfortable to me.
