No you donât. The sex-ed teacher was always the last teacher youâd ever want to think of in conjunction with sex. Believe me.

I wasnât commenting on you personally, itâs OK to hate sports, you personally are going to feel that way no matter what I say, but I was commenting on the positive aspects of sports. Iâm sorry you got saddled with a heart condition, itâs not fair and your experience with sports was not fair.
I think theyâre good for team building and health if they donât get toxic in terms of winning at all costs. Iâm not sure of the point of watching them. Seems more fun to do them than watch them.
I learnt most of the things like blue lagoon movie and it was so interesting and funny.
You know the way I masturbated the first time I still remember it was so funny thinking of it now 
My friends told me to massage and You have no idea how I was doing it
And when the stuff came out i was shouting Eureka !!!
See edit above.

Hands down, giving speeches in English in front of the whole class. Now, as an adult, Iâve talked in front of groups in AA with anywheres from 2 to 100 people in the audience and it wasnât that bad, but back when I was a freshman in high school, the prospect of standing in front of the whole class and giving a speech induced terror and stress and apprehension. And actually giving the 5 minute speech on how to make a balsa wood model airplane was frightening and humiliating.

Oh yeah, that terrified me, but I somehow got good at it. I have never had a grade below 90 in any English class. Barely scraped by with math, however. LOL.

I hate it when people who cannot participate in sports in a meaningful way are forced to do so against their will and end up physically and emotionally damaged. My first cardiac episode? During swim lessons at summer camp. I told the counselor I couldnât swim any farther and was told to finish or I wasnât getting supper. I sort of remember blacking out and sinking (deep end, of course) then I was in a bed with four counselors around me and a sore chest with broken ribs from them reviving me. It took the ambulance over an hour to reach the camp from the city. Had a pacemaker a few weeks after that.
Itâs not that I donât support sports. I took all of these pictures as a volunteer photographer. I have also volunteer driven school buses to get sports teams to events when school budgets werenât adequate. Finally, Iâm a certified youth archery coach (NASP). I simply donât support sports in circumstances where they are harmful or toxic to participants.
Iâm not arguing against that.
Iâm sorry for your health problems. I know your mother had problems but why didnât she warn the camp and the school about your physical limitations?
They were warned. It didnât make a difference. I learned to recognize the symptoms of the onset of severe fibrillation and dialed it back before I went down and just took the failing grade after.
I got lucky, the pe teacher wasnât ALLOWED to make me do physical stuff because I had heart problems because of my thyroid
The worst I got was a teacher telling me âwhy donât you stop trying to read, youâll never learnâ I proved them wrong when the school nurse let me borrow Harry Potter and twilight⌠I asked teachers so much how to pronounce words and what they meant that my special ed teacher let me carry around a dictionary around and even taught me how to use it

That was just plain negligence It doesnât help to say it now but if they forced you to do physical actives that triggered your health issues you probably could have sued them or at the least, taken legal action to make them change their policies to protect kids with disabilities.
Today, sure. Not four decades back. That didnât happen as you well know.
