I really wish I worked instead of going to school. I had to go to school and then work when I got home. I never had time for home work. Then I worked all summer long. High school was just nonstop endless nonsense for me. When the teachers gave me shit though, like you said, I gave them shit back. I called them old pencil neck retards etc. Did you guys have "in school suspension"? JFL. I spent nearly 1/2 of my time in school in there, not even exaggerating. They knew I wanted to be suspended at home and didn't want to go there. So they put me in that room where I copied the dictionary. Word for word. Until the guy who proctored that room finally said to me "put that dictionary down. This shit is getting old, even for me." He was this old black guy who was about to retire. He just wanted to go to sleep in that room. He told me I could do whatever I wanted in the room as long as nobody came in and caught him sleeping. So I'd let him sleep and I'd read comic books and shit because I didn't have a phone, really nobody did during that time, except for the principal, who had one of those X-files flip phones. Sometimes I would draw. The in school suspension room ironically became my coping space. And yeah, I didn't learn not one fucking thing the whole time I was in high school. Except about comic books and how to not let "adults" fuck with my head.
