School drop-outs of Reddit, why did you drop out?

The teachers and students were too much, I'm still in the process of leaving but everyday I came home crying and having anxiety attacks, one teacher was amazing, he said he hated us equally but i could tell he cared about us more than anything, he would pull a student out and can read when someone was not in a good place, he was the best teacher... I'm so greatful i had him cause i couldn't have lasted there as long as I did... on the other hand a teacher (now fired) would constantly barrage me with work and constantly ask me if i have my work done, and i can only work so fast and my other teachers would also give me work, but this guy, i swear he had it out for me, i was crying in a corner desk once after everyone had left for lunch, he asked me why i was crying and I said that I'm overwhelmed with work and how I'm also fighting a severe depression. Without hesitation he said "How do you think your mental health will be once you're failing". I don't know if he was attempting to be supportive but after he said that I just left. A year passes and my mother was in the hospital and i couldn't stop thinking of her, I couldn't focus on anything and I was constantly checking my phone. He then comes out and yells at me for being on my phone, I'm told for having a loud voice and i yell as loud as i can saying no, and I just grab my stuff, he made me so mad i kicked a hole in the wall, i was so overwhelmed the principal came to me and saw me crying by the exist, best principal too, he comforted me and gave me time to calm down... I hate that school so much, I'm glad I'm out now and i couldnt be happier, I'm rarely depressed where as i was rarely happy. I'm now teaching myself how to code and hopefully game development or something.. i just want to make a difference in the world and support those that need it...
