Irrelevant comment, sorryQuite lame, but online classes in middle school. At the time I didn't have neither a computer nor a usable internet connection (just stealing neigbor's WiFi). So I didn't have to attend those.
Instead, the school set up a lockdown exception for the few of us that didn't have internet. So there were 3 of us from whole school. The only time school actually worked and wasn't boring because there was 1 teacher for just 3 kids instead of 20-30. Just calm, quiet classes with nearly full engagement.
Another thing I liked was the CRT TV that was in the class. I have an NES game console from AliExpress I got for €4. During breaks I could finally get to enjoy that on CRT. It looks so much better on CRT rather than LCD.

Anyway, sadly this had to be shutdown shortly after because someone wrong found about it. Such classes weren't officially allowed, those teachers just wanted to help us.

But I am not sure I understood your question. There's a good chance I didn't.

my question is like if everyone got in trouble except you (trouble was the thing you escaped)

I feel like this works. β€œI was the only one to escape the disaster that was remote learning”

Sorry. I collapsed the comment. Consider it deleted.

Whole family is stuck in a made up reality where my birth father isn't an abusive sociopath and excuse his actions by circling the wagons. I was able to see the truth and get out, but my siblings are all stuck in the cycle of abuse and likely won't ever leave.

Does Covid count? I still haven't caught it. Yet.

But that weird yet. Would you think I wanted to see Evil Dead 2?

Had a really bad feeling, so I bailed on a new year's Eve party right before a huge contingent of cops showed up to bust it. 100+ people got nailed after I was walking down the block watching 8 cop cars en route to the venue.

My whole class at school got mono.

I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.

I have two siblings.

My older brother lives in a trailer, can't keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.

My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don't take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).

I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with "survivors guilt".

Your siblings could have ADHD. Inability to keep jobs, troubles with money, early/often pregnancy, and promiscuity are all symptoms.
