HalloHowArtThou,
I feel sorry for you having to get on the tube to go to school. My school was a 20 minutes walk away from me when I was a kid. At least you get the bonus of a seat. These days, travelling on the tube makes me pretty angry. I've also developed what I can define as "Tube Paranoia" (TP):
Basically when you're on the tube and you don't have anuything to read; you've read all those stupid adverts about cheap calls and travel insurance so you look around...and notice someone staring at you. Quickly, both of you look away at the same time, maybe at the floor or someones shoes. Then you get the feeling that people are staring at you, so you look up and find the same person staring at you. This makes you incredibly paranoid especially when it goes on for the whole journey with a variety of different people. Welcome to "Tube Paranoia". Which is why I ALWAYS take a book with me so I'm not forced to look around like a bored idiot.
When i was a student I sometimes smoked waccy baccy as you do when you were a student) and got on the tube. Stoned. Big mistake. Very big mistake. It's Tube Paranoia magnified by 100...a pretty scary experience...
The shocking thing is, most people who live in London that I speak to about this don't laugh at me and throw me out of their house - they can actually identify with "Tube Paranoia". Maybe it should be a recognised symptom like Seasonal Affected Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

No. If you can't be concise, you should be beaten to death with a deceased puffin.

Unbeliever,
I know exactly what it's like. Ugh.
But I tend to be spared the horros of standing up in the morning since I get on at Ealing Broadway (end of the line).
I am yet to push someone out, but I intend to someday. I have another 3 1/2 years of communting on the way to school and back on the tube.
