I'm being bullied... by my dad

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>OK so here is my story.</p>

<p>Beginning of Junior year I was eagerly awaiting my PSAT results. I did horrible the previous year (160ish total), but I felt confident I did better. When my guidance counselor handed out the score reports he told us not to open the envelope during school (this was to discourage kids from score comparing). </p>

<p>In the locker-room before basketball practice everyone was opening their scores, so I couldn't resist opening mine. I gave into peer pressure and decided to open them. I was ecstatic:</p>

<p>57 CR, 80 M, 61 W: 198</p>

<p>Our star player basketball player, who is over 6'' tall and very athletic, was looking over my shoulder at my scores. He snatched the paper out my hand and immediately compared them to his. I got a good glimpse at his and I saw that they were in the 10th percentiles. He proceeded to ridicule me and I made a few witty retorts. He eventually beat the crap out of me, giving me a bloody nose. From then on, I have been known as either "savant," or "rainman." </p>

<p>Anyway my dad was picking me up from school after practice and although he hadn't been very supportive of me in the past I proudly showed him my scores. He too scorned me and questioned whether I was autistic (I'm not). He made a lot of lewd comments and at one point even told me I might as well kill myself. </p>

<p>Since then my social life has spiraled downhill. I have become a pariah, and my few friends have abandoned me. I put some time into preparing for the SAT in order to show my father I wasn't a "one trick pony." I ended up with:</p>

<p>700 CR, 800M, 730W: 2230</p>

<p>Despite this, he still makes fun of me, and says my only skill is filling in bubbles. </p>

<p>What should I do about this?</p>

<p>Sent from my iPod touch using CCI don’t get it. Did the athlete make fun of you because you got such a great score? Why did your dad call you autistic? Just disregard your dad. Some people just don’t get it. He lacks people skills, let alone dad skills. Getting a 2200+ is a great accomplishment and I salute you (I’m working towards a 2100+). The hard work paid off! :)</p>

<p>I’m assuming your father isn’t very educated. He probably feels insecure that he cannot compete with you on an intellectual level and thus feels the need to strike back with idiotic comments. </p>

<p>Forget the haters.</p>

6

<p>You got haters here on CC, as well.
With that score, you are not autistic, at all.
Are you a jock or something?</p>

<p>You are a loser, 2230?? Are you kidding me?!</p>

<p>/sarcasm</p>

<p>lol tell your dad that you’re going to put him in a home when he’s older</p>

<p>Honestly, talk to a counselor. If you really make a big deal out of this and get to have many people confront your dad, he’ll either realize that you’re not taking it as a joke, or if he isn’t capable of understanding that, he’ll have someone to feel threatened by.</p>

<p>47M, 45CR, and 50W PSAT here BTW. Compare your mega-IQ scores to mine, you’re probably capable of outwitting your dad with your knowledge. Perhaps he envies you, have you ever asked how well he did in school?</p>

<p>Tell him that yes, you are autistic. Then proceed to act “autistic” for a month. </p>

<p>

Or tell him you will put him down.</p>

<p>Autism doesn’t make you stupid or less intelligent. Autism is large spectrum ranging from people who can’t talk and dress themselves to fully functioning socially awkward kids. Most people with autism are highly intelligent, it just isn’t always as obvious. The higher end (socially awkward kids) generally have low self esteem because they have a mental disability, so if you could be a little more sensitive towards them.
(Sorry if that sounded like a rant I know if my brother saw comments like “with a score like that you’re not autistic” he would be very upset)</p>

<p>I’m really sorry you have to live with that. You should ignore him. You are a wonderful talented person and as soon as college starts you don’t have to live with him.</p>

<p>

This isn’t impressive at all by the way.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>roflmfao!!!</p>

13

<p>I am kind of confused. Why did they start making fun of you and calling you names? And why did your dad call you autistic? Does he think the score is too low or high?</p>

14

<p>He thought that my math score was too high and that my other scores were too low. </p>

<p>I don’t know why he made fun of me so much, but my mom got really mad at him for doing it (she threatened to divorce him if he did it again).</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>that’s what I was thinking…</p>

16

<p>Yea I know by your standards it isn’t, but it was like a 30 point improvement</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Explain please.</p>

<p>Gotta love CC. The only place where you find number obsessed losers who get so caught up looking at standardized test scores that they can’t even be bothered to make one contributive or supportive post. Just go back to doing what you guys do best, jerking off to your test scores.</p>

<p>Anyways OP, don’t let your dumbass father or 10%-tile scoring basketball star get you down. Just keep studying and get into a top college where you won’t have to worry about being around brain dead ■■■■■■■ all the time.</p>

<p>Also next time you get attacked, punch your assaulter in the dick.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s stupid too because if you get in trouble for that, you’re screwed for a long time. </p>

<p>Talk to a psychologist or a doctor, you’ll get better answers there.</p>

<p>“Self-defense, self-defence (see spelling differences) or private defense is a countermeasure that involves defending oneself, one’s property or the well-being of another from physical harm.”</p>

<p>I don’t about yourself, but getting the **** kicked out you doesn’t exactly seem like one of the most entertaining things in the world.</p>
