I need some advice and support! I am currently attending LPN school and I am starting to think that the classmates are more difficult than some of the professors! I always feel like odd man out, they make snippy comments behind my back, and they are rude with lots of attitude. Always in their little cliques. I am really feeling uncomfortable as its such a small class. The few times I stood up for myself were rebuffed and actually made things worse!I have never encountered a situation where such outward displays of rudeness and disrespect were so tolerated - its almost as though they enjoy the power play of it all! Its terribly backwards and I feel like its high school all over again, but with worse clothing and even worse attitudes! I am exhausted trying to always be nice and civil - but I am ready to explode!!! How do you cope????
