There was a voice molesting me during the lesson, ridiculing me useless and wasting time on study, my academic results suffered a disastrous decline. At home, I felt there were installed closed circuit televisions, so I did not open the light while bathing. I was under violent pavid everyday and not dare to talk to others.
