"I just hyperfocused my way through another Star Wars EU novel over the weekend and I have a list of 37 reasons Like Skywalker is awesome I have to share with you guys!"

"Why don't you go share your tongue with the pencil sharpener, nerd!"

[Whole class laughs at me].

[Sensitivity to justice engages and I spend the rest of the day fantasizing about murdering the kid who said that and trying to not be seen crying]

-basically how all of elementary school went for me

Idk, the fact that I grew up in a rural area and vocally didn't give a shit about hunting or football probably didn't do me any favors.

NO WAY, fantasizing about murdering the other kids is ADHD too?! A girl in 5th grade once shared a private conversation we had over skype to the whole class (wasn't even anything wild, she asked me what I thought of a guy and I was like "he's ok", but it's the principle of not sharing private stuff that got me) and I have wished for her death for at least a decade afterwards. Which, thinking back, was probably kind of an overreaction.

You're correct, death is not the answer here, death lets her off way too easy. Her punishment should be something more along the lines of losing a finger in a car door or something and then having the scars kind of look like your initials so that every time she experiences fantom pain she can't help but remember what she did.

Also, an enhanced sense of justice is often part of ADHD.

The entire class? That's really harsh, sorry that happened to you.
