I don't know about others. But I aboslutely hate maths. Mainly because very few teachers are there who can actually make a student understand maths and I've never met a teacher like that. Maths gave me depression. Because of maths, my dad thinks I'm useless. What is with fathers and maths? Why is maths so important? And if it is then why can't teachers teach it better? Is our education this weak that a teacher can't teach their own subject? I always run away from maths. I'm scared from maths. Even in order to add 2+2 I use calculator just so I don't mess us. Even though my brain knows the answer, my anxiety forces me to calculate it.
Many people often tell me that I'm a very logical person and I always analyze a situation first and then react. What I mean to say is that if I'm a logical person and maths is logic then why am I scared of it? Why do I run away?
My dad is excellent at maths. My mom isn't. Mostly math teachers are males.
I honestly don't know why this is so.
From primary school, I've not liked maths. And this "not liking" changed into "hate" when I entered highschool.
I used to hide myself in class so that the math teacher wouldn't notice me and call me up to solve the question on the board. Due to this, I had terrible anxiety.
Infact, my school kicked me out, mainly because I got bad marks in mathematics.
In class, I had no friends. I was all lonely and sad. And it all started with maths.
I was scared that people would laugh at me. And laugh they did.
Now I don't give a shit.
PARENTS NEED TO LEARN THAT MATH ISN'T LIFE!!!! THE PRESSURE YOU PUT ON YOUR CHILD COULD RUIN YOUR CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH!!
Just because I wasn't good at maths, no one could see the real me. The "me" that makes thrilling stories. The "me" that loves debating. The "me" that has deep interest in spirituality and dreams of becoming an astrologist. The "me" that was once a ray of sunshine and it all changed when I entered class 9th.
