Stupid

I am back in high school, only it is more of a trade school where we learn to recite poetry while repairing refrigerators. I am known as the dumb kid in class and everyone, even the teacher, makes fun of me. At one point the teacher tells me to kill myself and everyone laughs; I threaten to report her to the principal and she says, "I said 'curiosity killed the cat' not 'kill yourself,' you idiot."
