dealing with school

i had to do this poem in english today (just before lunch), it just made me so depressed and angry, i just wanted so badly to cut myself, as soon as the period ended, i more or less ran out and started smoking outside the grounds, waiting for my friends, who know i self harm. i had a full 10 deck and i have none left now, i was kicking bins and stuff on my way to lunch. i was almost crying, i was kicking walls and screaming that i hate my life. I'm not going in tomorrow because of that poem, i just don't think i could handle it, especially a whole day of feeling like that.

anyone got any idea on how to handle this?

perhaps talk to your english teacher and explain the situation. maybe ask if for that lesson you can sit in the support unit or whatever other faculty your school has? if the poem is important for your coarse ask if you can explore the poem on your own one to one with the teacher? i dont know whether that would be a possibility but you need to feel safe.

Sweetie i know how triggering things like that can be but try not to miss school because of it, it just causes more problems and becomes addictive. I should know.
Would it be possible to go and speak to your teacher about it and maybe be able to do a more happy poem?
I hope you can sort it out.
