First,  you need to be able to spell schizophrenia correctly.  Secondly, this is not a site where you can come to do a last-minute report instead of researching your subject thoroughly.  There are many online sites including this one and www.schizophrenia.com where you can get a lot of good information.   But as long as you are asking, I believe schizophrenia did affect how I perceived things during my schooling.  I was paranoid, therefore I avoided many activities I might have enjoyed otherwise.  For instance, I avoided large groups of people, so I hid in the restroom during pep rallies.  This was in middle and high school.  When I went on to college, I began to see auras around people.  I had trouble telling how fast or slow the traffic was going around me.  I only slept a few hours every night and I was growing more depressed.  There were 4 "people" in my head watching me all the time, which made me feel uncomfortable.  I was very reserved and non-emotional and even reclusive.  I began to dress in black all the time because I thought it echoed my black mood, kind of a non-verbal way of expressing myself.   Schizophrenia also kept me from taking a full load in college.  I managed to make mostly A's and a couple of B's so it didn't effect my ability to learn and be tested on what I had learned.  Mostly, interpersonal relationships were what suffered the most.   Hope some of this helps.   Carolyn
