I'm still in school, and, tbh, I was really bad at chess (about 5 year ago). Once, our school held a tournament and, to my surprise, i won 2nd place, just behind our school chess champion, who is now rated 1700 and defeated me in the last round. I was shocked to have got even 2nd place! I mean, I must be like 700 on lichess that time. I played really poor. I hated chess.
Now, I'm rated 1084. Look at the transition from over 5 years ago to now! I can't go a day without chess!

Your rating is much more than 1084 now!

I'm talking about FIDE rating.

one time I broke both my legs at the same time by falling off the rock climbing wall at school. I don't think I should have been up there...

you weren't supposed to be there. Mercini told on you and that is one day I will never forget. can I tell the rest of it from when you blacked out?

of course. normally, I would have said more, but I don't remember a thing from that hour or two

ok. so when Hayley fell off the rock climbing wall, she yelled and blacked out and our classmate, Mercini, told the teacher someone was on the ground and had blacked out and the teacher helped Hayley out and called an ambulance. she got many stitches in her head and arms and had two broken legs, like she said.

in february there was a substitute for english and these like three kids are always the ones to start a commotion especially if there’s a sub teacher and as they did one of them had a little camera and he filmed everyone and filmed “interviews” with other people on the corner of the class

another one of those three kids told the sub teacher that the book we were reading as a class had a swear (which it did, but isn’t a big deal) and our main teacher was enraged by this because it was gonna slow down our whole schedule and it did by like almost two weeks

it’s so unfortunate that i along with the 70 others have to deal with this sort of stuff coming from those three kids and it isn’t like a one time thing this has happened with every other class within our school team (math, language arts, science, history) and it’s become like a really big thing

we literally cancelled a planned field trip to bowlero because of them and our science teacher literally said we can’t go on field trips (including the 7th graders within our school team who as far as i know don’t carry any of the blame) because they (the teachers) can’t trust those three kids to behave and by law they can’t just leave them at school and one of the kid’s responses was literally “i don’t care” over and over as he walked across the room

i’m not happy with this to say the least

So this happened with me when I was in 2nd grade and yes, this is 100% real

It was a normal day when I came to school. The first two periods ended pretty quick, and it was time for short break. I needed to go to the washroom, so I went there and saw some boys staring at a toilet compartment(if that's what you say because I couldn't find the exact word for it and I'm too lazy to search it on Google) that was closed for some reason mysteriously. I just ignored that and went back to my class. During the 5th period, I was just staring at a wall and then I saw handprints forming at the very top of the wall and disappearing. It was not just me but 40% of the class saw it too. I was little then, so I thought that there was some connection between the closed toilet compartment and the handprints. But I also thought that the compartment was open. So when it was long break, I went to check that the compartment was open or not. And to my surprise, it was still closed. I asked the sweeper uncle if anyone was in the compartment. But he said that it was somehow locked from inside. I also knocked to check if someone was there or not and also peeked under the gap between the door and the floor(I was pretty weird then) and still couldn't see the legs. The break ended, so I had to give up. When it was dispersal time, I had to go to the washroom again and I was accompanied by my 2 friends. I looked back, and I saw the the compartment was open. I decided to check the compartment and so did my friends. In the compartment, we saw that there was shoe prints all over the toilet and also on the wall. We were pretty scared and ran away.
This story took me 30 mins to recall it and 10 mins to write it

I will tell one weird story in my school -

One day my class teacher came inside the class and fell down. Suddenly the nerd in my class jumped on her. But the nerd shouldn't have done that because our class teacher is pregnant. Then he ran around the class and then again jumped on her. She wasn't feeling well after that so she went to the hospital to check up. While she was in the hospital, the nerd screamed " She deserves that because the baby is a piece of shit like her ". Then he went to every person and then he told one of the boys in my class to do the chicken dance or else he will vomit. The boy did the chicken dance. Then suddenly some substitute teacher entered our class and took the nerd to the principal's office. This happened 2 days before
