- **2/5** — Not good for mental health: Worst place, started all my mental problems, didn't even care I was crying in the middle of class from bullying. I fell over once and hurt my shoulder bad and they said just deal with it, even though it was on my dominant arm. Thanks for giving me chronic loneliness and trauma 💜 *(Oct 2021)*
