Good Teachers are Good, and Psychiatry

Today I was walking from my math class to where I aid for a teacher, and I started thinking and it was quite an interesting experience about good and bad teachers. As I was leaving math, these classmates were talking about this one teacher and how they hated him/her etc., you've all heard about that teacher no one likes, right? That sorta got me thinking about how people tend to bash people more easily than they compliment.

Or something. It's hard to explain, without making it sound strange or not logical or something, but basically, people seem more ready to bash someone than talk about the good people.

Also, what is psychiatry? I thought that was like, the person who goes "And how does that make you feel?" kind of thing, and psychology is more like the research aspect.

It annoys me when I say I'm interested in psychology and people ask me "Oh, so you're interested in working with people?" (or that sort of question), and I'm like, noooooo I hate working with people T^T I'm more interested in how or why, and honestly, I'd rather work with animals than people.

People research has a whole bunch of moral stuff around it, whereas for animals seem to not quite have the same barrier. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm just saying people are all okay about "oh cool, little mice that grow up alone are thisthisthis" whereas people are NOT okay about separating children from their parents forever. Well. You know what I mean :P

Sometimes I think it's funny when people say homosexuality is not "natural". If they mean homosexuality doesn't happen in nature, it does. I'm not talking about zoos, where there are cases of homosexual animals, I'm talking about the wild. Apparently dolphins act homo sometimes, and some apes, etc. I read there was a swan pair people called "Romeo and Juliet", but it turned out they were gay (the picture was labeled "Juliet and Juliet" with a short subtitle following). I wonder how sexuality of an organism is defined. I suppose maybe when I finally take AP Psychology next year, I should learn all about it.

In a somewhat related conversation thread, have you noticed how psychology doesn't have the same prestige as other sciences? For example, psychology doesn't seem as "big" as neuroscience or neurology....ya know, study of the brain, whatever it's called. I mean, they're kind of sister subjects, right? Psychology is the software component and neuroscience is the hardware component, right? At least in my mind. So because of this, I'll probably major in neuroscience and minor in psychology or something.
