Probably late for this but you know why not:
Growing up in school they always said something along these lines "School is here to help you develop your skills so you can have a successful life", so naturally as a child I believed them. Pretty soon I started to doodle and develop an art skill, at first it was just something out of boredom and I wasn't too serous, but soon I started to see how i was enjoying it and looked ahead in my life to see if I wanted to do anything else, I couldn't think of anything and this was the only thing I truly knew I wanted to do. School had a different idea of this and at first teachers were ok, but later going to middle school this little dream I had was being put into question, a lot of the teachers would tell me to stop and focus, at first I understood a teacher wants the class to focus on the assignment and I could continue however just on my own time, but later this became a larger problem and I began developing a depression as teachers would begin failing things like homework any time there was a doodle. I was ok in terms of education getting B's on tests, but pretty soon everything was crashing down during high school all the teachers were the same they wouldn't take anything with art on it and even to a point not giving me paper until the actual lesson started, my depression grew and I just hated school in general, I wasn't healthy too I was suffering from a virus that constantly attacked my immune system making me get sick easily, even though most of the time i was telling the truth the other half I was faking, I just didn't want to bother going nothing would change and I was going through a loop on a daily basis. The depression grew to the point of considering suicide, this later lead to insanity (I'm actually serious I could of been put in a mental hospital!) where I just only found comfort in darkness, usually sleeping and I could see my life unfold around me as I just count the days until something. I recovered from my insanity if it's considered recovery as I just buried it in my mind and I began to smoke pot, it wasn't serious I would just maybe once a month give my friend $10 and a week later he and a bunch of others would just go out to a secluded area and just smoke for an hour. It was only these things sort of keeping me going but pretty soon I just stopped, there wasn't a point of doing homework so I just stopped most of the time in class I would half pay attention and just continue drawing only with the teacher stopping me to give me a lecture about focusing but to some point they figured there wasn't a point either. It was like this for a pretty long time until a final straw was drawn when in my art class (if it was considered one when all we did was learn history behind art with only a few projects every so often and we mostly did homework about art) when the teacher came up to me and told me I couldn't doodle on the homework. At that point all the anger frustration and stress I've built up just came out and I yelled "FUCK YOU" and left, and it was at that point I was actually happy, I never looked back my depression was leaving, I wasn't stressed or anxious anymore, my fear for a lot of things I got over, the virus I had (even though I still have it) was receding, and I stopped smoking. I still had to go to a school luckily my mom transferred me to a private school that specializes in artistic study. This experience was pretty tragic for me but from it I actually created some cool stories that many of my art teachers have said are something out of a gifted person's mind (humble brag) usually consisting from my experience (i.e. getting over my fear of the dark, someones adventure of adventuring to find their 'light', etc.) I was even close to submitting an idea to create a new story that would be published (sadly one of the thing I didn't get over was shyness but still) where we were to submit a rough draft of the story it would be looked over by the teacher and the top ones could potentially get it published sadly I was shy and thought "What if someone takes my idea..."!

In the end "When in darkness look for the light and know you are not alone for the darkness too wants to find light"- Me
