School busses are another thing unheard of in the Netherlands, here everyone uses their bicycle to go to school. Makes sense of course if you realise how small and densely populated our country is. The only time we'd be in a bus with my classmates was when the school would organise a visit to a museum or something like that, then we'd be in a hired touringcar.
I had no teachers to have a crush on, though I was the teacher's pet. I was bullied a lot but the teachers liked me and I had very good grades (I was bullied for being a nerd) so I did get some preferential treatment like being allowed to be upstairs during recess which reduced the bullying significantly as I was the only student allowed upstairs.
However, the teachers were the only positive interaction I had during my school years. I have made no friends during that time, and after that it was a lot harder. I succeeded in building a social life eventually, but it took a lot of time.
