Random Rant of the Day #1:
Okay, I am out of school. But this remains a problem anyway. Yes, I am an overweight teenage girl who isn't a big fan of physical activity. But that is not why I'm writing today's rant.
Gym.
Oh my FUCKING god. Gym class. Physical Education. P.E. Fucking hell. Seriously, what the fuck.
Regular class is fine, needing to participate in class and shit. But when it comes to the testing.... That is complete bullcrap. You ALL know what I'm talking about.
Pacers, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-n-reach, and the dreaded Mile. In my school, each age has a limit they must do. So for example, I'm 16. I have to do AT LEAST 21 push-ups to get a D. Uhm, excuse me?
I'm being graded on my physical abilities! I rather get bullied for being unfit than my overall GPA being effected by my physical abilities. Personally, I have never been able to do a push-up in my entire life. I've never been able to do past 25 sit-ups. I can't do a pull-up. And the last time I actually RAN the mile was in 5th grade. It took me 30 minutes. Last time I even participated in the mile, (in 8th grade) I walked. And it still took me 30 minutes. And I was crying because my lungs hurt so bad and my spit tasted like blood.
I don't think that was worth a fucking C. Although the last time I was in gym class, I was a freshman (currently I'm am a junior in her summer break)... I still think the grading system for gym is bull.
Grades should be given on quality, not quantity. The EFFORT should be graded, not how much you can do. Sure, I would still get an F on the mile, but I really do try to do everything else. I try so hard, I humiliate myself in front of classmates when I can't do one pull-up, and I quit. I just can't.
I HATE when I see that I get an F for my physical testing.
I'M SORRY I'M NOT AS FIT AS YOU WANT ME TO BE. FUCK OFF.
God. I can go hours, ranting about this. I can write a trilogy of trilogies ranting about this. It drives me nuts.
....
Keep Smiling!
