    Teacher Attempted to Touch Me, School did Nothing

    One of the teachers at this school acted very creepy towards me. He was a PE teacher and kept going into the girls' changing rooms when I was getting changed. It made me feel uncomfortable. I'm a late changer so I was often left alone with him coming in to 'check up on me'. He would always come close to me whenever I was alone in the changing rooms and even tried to put his hands on me once, but I always refused.

    Ridiculous

    Whit burn school has very limited creativity. Students cannot express their true self as they aren’t allowed to have make up or particular hair styles. Also the uniform is ridiculous. The skirts look like nuns and people get an hour after school for have their phone in their coat pocket??!! Whit burn school is ridiculous.

Staff members struggled to understand my panic attacks and I felt very pressured into never standing up for myself, despite feeling overwhelmed with the school itself.
