I became physically ill attending a rural public school.
I was unable to eat due to extreme stress. Suspenders were necessary for me to hold my pants up. Belts were useless. Regardless of how hard we tugged, they always just slipped off of me.
I occasionally passed out in class. The cafeteria's food scent was revolting. Every child chewed with his mouth open, spit on the ground, and did a variety of other filthy things, which didn't help.
The majority of the time, I waited until the lunch ladies were gone before throwing my unfinished peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the trash. Nothing could make me throw up if there was nothing inside of me. It followed that no one would yell.
