And she said to you " it sounds like you're angry and it will cause an uproar in the schoool." And from this post, it sounds like she is on target. Not that it will do any good, because your personality is already stamped, but you should look up 301.81 in the DSM IV. And you probably had at least one of your parents that were too. Good luck, but you probably will never change. That is the big trick with personality disorders. So,

At the end of your letter/question you have in fact answered your own question. Your words, "Side note, I do not want to be a journalist." I noticed that you begin some of your sentences with the words, 'Any who', I believe you should be writing, 'Any how'. You need to develop a more structured way of beginning sentences. As soon as you noticed that students were breaking their promise to contribute to the newspaper, you should have informed your journalist teacher. You could have told her that it was pointless to have journal without any contributors. This placed a pressure on you to fill the space! Sometimes our love for an idea clouds our good sense. Your teacher was clearly afraid that you would through your articles undermine her authority. There is an element of unfairness evident in the whole process that you were involved in. These are the life-lessons that educate us. You have done your best without any decent backup. Put the paper to bed and learn from this experience. Hi Smallvil,
