Here is my essay, if you guys wanted to read it. I don't really know if it's good or not, but yeah.
Echosmith is an indie and alternative pop band formed in Chino, California. It is made up of the four Sierota siblings - Sydney, Noah, Jamie and Graham. They are best known for their song, 'Cool Kids', which was a huge success, as it was named the fifth biggest selling single of 2014. 1.3 million downloads of the single were sold, and it was certified as double platinum, with over See More 1,200,000 sales.
The siblings grew up in a musically influenced home, and they each learnt to play many instruments. They began to develop a passion for music that they shared, and they then became a band. Sydney is the lead vocalist of the band, as well as playing the keyboard and tambourine. Graham, the youngest of the group, plays the drums. Noah plays the bass, and also sings back-up vocals. Jamie, the oldest in Echosmith, sings and plays the guitar.
The band started out by posting covers of songs on the internet, and they discovered that a lot of people liked them. They then began to release songs of their own as the band Ready Set Go!, when they were younger. Later on, they were signed to Warner Bros Records, and they renamed their band Echosmith.
Their debut album, Talking Dreams, was released on 8th October 2013. They released three singles from this album, 'Cool Kids', 'Bright' and 'Let's Love'. Their song, 'Come Together', was also a hit, although it was not a single. They are planning to release a second album this year, the name of which has not yet been released.

I just finished writing my Echosmith essay. I'm kind of scared for the teacher to mark it, because then people will know more about me. But everyone already knows everything about me now, and I've already done a lot of things this week that scared me. So I'm not really that worried.

Also, I have to write an informative essay for English about something I'm a fan of, and I don't really know what to do it about.
This morning I was scared to write the essay, but now I kind of feel okay about writing about one of my idols, because I've thought about it, and people at school don't know who most of them are. I'm not going to write it about Mika or Charlie McDermott, though, because they mean too much to me. I think I might do it about Echosmith, because people See More at school and the teacher would only really know Cool Kids, not the band themselves. Also, if I wrote about them, I could include information about how they became famous, which is quite an interesting story.

My mum talked to me about what the form tutor said, and she said that I don't deserve to be treated like that, and that she is going to either go and talk to her or send her an email. ?
on September 22, 2016
Today was quite good. Not as good as it could have been, but it was a lot better than yesterday, and I'm relieved to have had an okay day after what happened over the past few days.
I thought today was going to be horrible again, because of the fact that I didn't get a textbook in Maths this morning and I couldn't ask for one, so I had to make up my own questions and try to get through the lesson. The teachers didn't even notice, and it was just bad.
But I made a shepherd's See More pie in Food Tech, and it was actually fun. The teacher actually helped me, and so did Laughing Boy. He's probably one of the only people in my form who treats me the same way as they did before they found out the reason why I don't talk. The shepherd's pie turned out really good, and I was kind of proud of it.
Also, after school, I told my mum about what my form tutor said about me. I almost didn't tell her, but when we were walking downstairs to pick my little brother up from school, I realised that it would be the last opportunity I would have to say it, so I just forced myself to tell her about it. She was really supportive about it, and she said that she would talk about it with me later. She also said that she will probably talk to my form tutor about it, which is good. I'm really happy and relieved that I finally told her, because I feel a lot better now. Maybe my life will actually get better after this.

I also wanted to tell my mum about it today, because I really want to tell her so she will yell at the teacher for what she did, and make her realise that what she did was wrong. But I just don't know how to bring up the fact that the teacher told everyone about my disorder when I wasn't there. :/
@jenesaispas
I know, that's why I usually tell her about things that happen at school if they concern the behaviour of other kids or teachers. She agrees with all of it, and she probably hates the school even more than I do.

That's exactly what I was going to do, because my mum always asks me how my day was when I get out of school. I was going to tell her today, but then I got scared and didn't do it. :/

Hmm. But I think just telling her would be easier, because if I wrote it down she'd ask why I couldn't just talk about it.

Today was horrible, again.
In Maths, I was doing my work, and this boy who was sat next to me started trying to get me to talk to him. When I didn't answer, the girl who was sat on the other side of him started telling him that the reason I didn't talk to him was because of the fact that I had Asperger's, and she said that my brain doesn't think of anything to say when people talk to me. I was angry, because that wasn't true at all. I do think of things to say, a lot of things, See More actually. But I just can't say them. And I was even more angry about the fact that she knew why I didn't talk at school, and I remembered what the form tutor had told everyone. Then I just started crying, and I couldn't stop. I thought about how much I hated being who I was, and how the teacher thought it was okay to basically ruin my life. It was awful, and I didn't stop crying until the end of the lesson.
And all day, everyone was basically just ignoring me. Nobody even made fun of me, they just acted as if I wasn't there. And I never thought I would say this, but it was actually worse. It's worse being known as the girl who has things wrong with her than being known as the girl who doesn't speak, really, and I just feel like everyone hates me. I just feel like an alien or something now, and it's horrible.

Today was absolutely awful.
In PSHE, TheDoctorsQueen told me about something horrible that had happened. She said that in form the other day, when I was late to school, everyone was talking about me when I wasn't there. Everyone was asking the teacher why I didn't get into trouble when I was late, and she started telling the whole form about the fact that I have Asperger's. She was telling everyone all sorts of lies about me, and she was telling them that the reason I was late See More was because I had to do everything in a specific order, when that wasn't even true. The reason I was late was because I had forgotten my PE kit, and I went back home to get it because I didn't want a detention. When TheDoctorsQueen was telling me this, I almost started crying. We talked about it, and she said that it wasn't the teacher's mental health problem to be interfering with, and I agreed. And for the rest of the afternoon, I felt as if everyone knew everything about me, and was seeing me as a disorder rather than a person.
But I'm more angry than upset, really. I'm still trying to be happy, and I'm not going to let a bad teacher ruin it. How does she actually think that it's okay to tell a whole class of people about the personal problems of another person in her class? And the fact that she did it when I wasn't there is even more disgusting. Does she not have any respect at all? I don't even have any words to describe how horrible this is.
I actually hate my school and everyone in it. Everyone there is just an ignorant, selfish brat who doesn't care about anyone else, and they all disgust me. I just want to leave and get away from them all, but I can't.

Also, did I tell you guys that I'm trying to be more positive and happy now? I've not felt bad about myself since before the summer holidays, and I'm more than two months clean now, which is the longest I have ever been clean. And I've been trying to put all of the energy and anger I would have wasted on hating myself into my stories and my project books, so that I can turn the bad feelings into something productive. I'm also trying to do this so I can inspire other people more, See More and try to encourage my followers to try to be more positive too. ?
@jenesaispas
Yeah, haha. Nobody uploads selfies without them anymore, though. Everyone always just uses filters for everything, and that's kind of sad in a way because we're not showing our true selves, and we're hiding behind filters just so people will compliment us.

Aww, thanks, haha. But I think that's also to do with the fact that I can actually use Snapchat filters now, because I've never really been able to use them before. And I think I just look better with filters. But maybe I look more positive too. ?

Today was okay, apart from the fact that my English book finally got marked, and I found out that the teacher didn't like the future chapter of Disguise that I wrote for my baseline assessment.
She criticised my writing a lot, and she left a comment saying that it wasn't very original. She kept saying that every paragraph was one sentence, when it actually wasn't, and all of my paragraphs were about five sentences long. She said that I had too much speech and not enough narrative, See More but the chapter was literally a dark conversation between Dexter Havenfield and his girlfriend, so there wouldn't exactly need to be that much narrative. And I wrote two chapters, and all the narrative was in the other chapter anyway. She also didn't even recognise that the whole chapter was supposed to be clever, because we were asked to write a story about an accident, and it was about an emotional accident instead of a physical one. I only got a Band B on it, which is equivalent to a C in GCSE grades, which I was kind of upset about, because I thought I was a much better writer than just about being able to pass my exams.
I'm kind of sad about it. But really, I write because I like to do it. Not because I want every teacher to love my work. I know that I am a good writer, and I will continue to write my own stories how I want to, because it's my own style, not anyone else's. I did feel like crying when I first read those comments, but now I don't, because other people's negative comments are not worth my tears. And the fact that the teacher gave good marks to all of the bad kids who can't write and don't try just shows that she doesn't really know what she's doing.

@jenesaispas
Yeah, I agree. And this teacher can teach, I guess, but she still probably knows nothing about creativity. A lot of people think I'm a good writer, and few people don't, so she probably doesn't know that much.

Yeah. In the future when I go to college, I want to take journalism and English as my subjects. When my school had a day where colleges came to school and talked to everyone, I saw a course like that. I might do it in the future if I can. And if you're really that interested in Disguise, you can read it on my W attpad, which is the same as my Qfeast See More username. It's only really the first few chapters, and it's not at the part I wrote for my assessment yet, because I haven't finished it yet. But still.

Teachers don't understand how creativity works.
They beat it out of you.
I'd say wait until college or whatever it is over there and take English as a subject maybe.
Tbh you just talking about the story makes me seem interested.
