One of my worst ones from a while back when I was having nightmares more regularly involved my adult self being punished for submitting things late and having to sit in a hall with other students for detention. Then I stood up almost in tears with a sudden epiphany - I have two degrees and a full time job, why am I still here??!! And I remember fighting to escape.
High school really shouldn't be the cause of so much background trauma for such a wide range of people...
