@univea

I must warn you about high school then - it's quite similar to the home of the devil. Teachers shove notes down your throat and then expect you to know it all by the time the test it. And when you go to a guidance counselor to explain your situation they just tell you that since you have straight A's you'll be fine. Ha. No. No. Just no. I've worked my butt off to get A's this whole year. It's not like I actually learned though, I just was able to pass. God, I hate this feeling. I hate having to feel so worthless and small. And sometimes the idea of death haunts the back of my head and it scares me. I never used to be like this until now. They now say I have an anxiety disorder and depression. I wonder why? They're so confused because it's not genetic and they're trying to figure out what triggered it.

I don't know why they don't listen to me when I say it's them. They just assume I'm just another student who doesn't like school.

@whispers
Hear hear!!!
They shove all this information down your throat and hope you memorize it. Then, every two weeks you have a test and the score goes to your End Of Year Score which helps determine what University you can go to. Yet, we have 5 subjects that we have homework for, tests every week, portfolios that need to be completed and the teachers don't understand that all the homework you get is just too much.

I hear people say-why don't you ask friends for help? WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS SEE THAT THEY DON'T CARE?!?!?! **excuse me** They cause problems that add to the stress and no, no-one believes me when I say that I'm forming some sort of a split personality(my friends make the problem worse because I have to pretend to like them) . I haven't talked to the councilors because they would just think I'm making it up and they would tell my parents that I've gone to them.


@univea
Do you flunk the tests? I do well in school but according to my test scores nope .___.

@mejary
You lucky duck. I want to buy a few games but can't because I have a DS lite and not a new 3/2DS .__.

mejary • 31 May 2014 at 12:19 AM

@univea @whispers high school is awful, i study for the tests and still fail them.

Also there is a difference between being smart in school and smart in other stuff, being smart in school is easy, you just need to study everyday what teacher teaches you and by getting good grades you are considered smart, but then there is the smart in stuff like hmm well things you do outside school that other people can't do or seem complicated to them. It happens to me, i'm bad at school but when i hang out with my friends they always say i'm smart, because i solve things easier and faster 😸

@mastergemma lucky duck XDDDDDDD well yes i'm very lucky, my father gave me my 3ds when it came out. 3 days later it fell into the toilet (don't ask how) XD the point is that i had to take it to repair like for 2 months, my whole summer vacation ruined. After it got fixed it worked again but since a year i have noticed that the screen flashes a little, i can't use the 3d effect because of that flash, but i'm saving money so i could buy a 3ds XL. Also if someday you are going to get one i suggest you to get the 3ds xl o the normal 3ds, 2ds is awful, i saw a comparison board with the 3 systems, the 3ds xl is much better, the 2ds doesn't have the 3d effect, also it can't fold, how are you going to put a 2ds in your pocket if it can't fold!? i know it's cheaper but trust me, i prefer to spend even 3 more months saving for the 3ds xl than buying another 3ds or even the 2ds 😸

mastergemma • 31 May 2014 at 12:44 AM

@mejary
I'm only considering the 2DS because it's much cheaper, I do not really like 3D things and it's cheaper

How big is the 3DS and the 3DSXL?

mejary • 31 May 2014 at 1:19 AM

@mastergemma i considered the 2ds before, i don't really use the 3d effect, but i dont like that it can't fold, and the way it looks makes me don't want to buy it even if it's cheaper because i enter everything in my pockets, i never use a pulse 😋 the 3ds xl is bigger than the 3ds but still it fits in my pocket so it's fine, the battery lasts longer than the 3ds and 2ds.

Also i think ds should have like a place right next to the touch screen to put the touch pencil, it would be easier to take 😋 or that they make the screen touchable with the hands, just like the tablets and cell phones

univea • 31 May 2014 at 10:38 AM

@mejary New Leaf is awesome 😊 I lost my first copy, which made me really upset, but I got a new one. I'm so used to the other villagers though, not a single animal is the same species and any of my old villagers. And I have a really long list of anime I'm waiting to watch. >.< Oh, and I use my hands to touch the screen all the time. I lost my stylus a long time ago 😋

@whispers
My AIG LA spent half the class period talking about high school, and honestly no one was listening. I had a really bad headache. ☹️ And I know what it's like to be thinking about death, I feel insignificant all the time. I'm an escapist, and a lot of people say it isn't healthy, but honestly most people are. I hate the counselors at my school because I know they don't actually care; they just rush me out of the room and tell me to go to class. I have really bad anxiety and depression, but it seems like no one notices because I'm so invisible. I hardly ever talk to anyone at school. But the anxiety might be genetic, my mom has panic attacks all the time over simple things, like I do when I have to walk into the school building in the morning. My sister refuses to get out of bed every morning... It causes a lot of problems. She says she wants to die but she's not stupid enough to kill herself, and I know that's true, but it still makes me worry. I lose sleep over it.

@mastergemma
I do very well on the tests, but I don't do homework and I don't study. Once I go home I try not to focus on school at all. And I actually only have one friend, but it does kinda help to have her around 😊

mejary • 31 May 2014 at 11:22 AM

@univea XDDD sometimes i use my nails 😸
Hey tell me your friend code, i will tell you mine 😸
Oh so that's the name of the pencil, i forgot 😋

Two days ago at school, a baby bird drowned in a puddle ;-;

Deleted • 12 June 2014 at 8:06 AM

I'm sorry to hear that @univea. We've had birds fall from nests in our garden before, and sadly their chances aren't so great. Because they can't fly yet, they're more susceptible to predators, and whenever we've tried to rescue them, they either die of shock, or from refusing to eat. The same thing happens with mice when we find a cat's tried to attack them D:

A bit of a ramble, from me. Apologies for the wall of text.

Pretty soon I'm going to have to pay the most I've ever paid to get new glasses. Those familiar with them know that you usually get your eyes tested every couple of years, and it's normal for your sight to have slipped in that time, but as it turns out, mine are much worse than I thought. The right one- previously the better of the two, has deteriorated even more than the left. The left, they tell me, has signs of an astigmatism, so for the right to be worse than that really is saying something. The test itself costs £28, which is bad enough, but again, if anyone's done this before, you know that the lenses are where they really hit you. £70 more, at least, because those things are perfectly tailored to your eyes and your eyes alone, and they'll need to fit them to the frames you already have, or (optionally) the new ones you pick out on the day. I don't always go for new frames, but I wanted some bigger ones because the pair I've worn for four years are rather small, and as a person who has to wear them all day, it's nice to have something different once in a while. Here's the part I don't like. The cheapest frames are between £45-£90. They very quickly ramp up to £300 or more depending on the brand- all of which are, without exception, designer. It's not that they don't look good; my issue is I don't agree with charging a premium price for something that to me has nothing to do with fashion, and everything to do with being able to see normally. Regardless, I chose the biggest frames I could get for my budget, and can expect to be paying around £173 total when they've finished making them for me, which will either be next week or the week after. On the one hand I'm happy at the prospect of being able to see again with an up to date prescription, because the gift of sight is something I value very very highly. On the other, it's a lot of money to pay for a condition I was born with, was pretty much guaranteed to inherit, and which shows no signs of levelling out the older I get. Maybe it will when I hit my thirties like they say, but for now, it's an expensive problem to be lumped with, that will carry on for a long while yet. Here's hoping it's all worth it.

lumpkinz11 • 14 June 2014 at 3:40 PM

Hey guys! Uhm, I'd like to say something that was pretty bad that happened to be recently. Okay, so I had this notebook where I wrote down lyrics, and some things that were going on inside my head, kinda like a diary. Anyway in the middle of the night my step brother threw up on it, and i was freaking out, so my mom washed off the cover and hoped for the best. In the morning she looked inside and saw what I had wrote down. What was in it was just me saying why I feel the need to hurt myself (i.e. self harm) but she didn't know I self harmed. That day at school I was sure that she was gonna pull me out of school and so I explained to all my friends that I selfhamr, which was probably one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. There was a lot of crying at school, and now I feel as if my life will never get back to what it used to be and I'm scared.

Sorry for the long post, but yeah. Thanks for reading this!!!

fakeworld • 15 June 2014 at 5:45 PM

@lumpkinz11
I've known people who have harmed themselves, and in fact some of them were friends. I believe the best thing you could have done is to tell someone, so I am happy your mom is aware of your actions. Her reaction may not have been the best, but at least she knows. One of my friends told me they did it because they thought it'll help them overcome the problems they were facing in life at the time, but little did they know, it just made things worst. Your life can and will get back to where it used to be. You'll just have to work on it, find someone you trust to talk to, be positive, try your best to build a support system for yourself, etc.


Make the impossible, possible ❤️

cleokitty • 15 June 2014 at 8:29 PM

@lumpkinz11
Wow... That must really suck. :/

lumpkinz11 • 16 June 2014 at 5:52 PM

@fakeworld

Thank you. Things have cooled down since then, but idk how well my other family memebers will react.

@cleokitty

It did, but I've learned a lot about myself and my parents because of how they reacted.

[Mom's coworker shot her husband four times, then herself in the kroger parking lot. Was not expected.]

mejary • 17 June 2014 at 7:43 PM

This is something random but i'm bored XD

Last saturday my sister made me go to do me 2 more piercings, i got one in the top part of my ears and 2 in the bottom, they look cute, but they hurt a lot, when they stop hurting me i will change my earrings for the following colors: in the top red, in the middle blue and in the bottom green. Why? because that would look like a triforce in my ears ❤️ I'm adicted to zelda XD

I want a wii u so bad, i'm waiting for it to get lower so then i will buy it, and of course when more games come out, so far i just like zelda wind waker hd (i had it for gamecube but then i sold it, now i want it again but i prefer to buy it for the wii u) mario kart 8 (i'm a fan of mario kart and i have mk7 😸) and next will be super smash bros for wii u (i will have the one for 3ds too)

Finally tomorrow i will have my last exam then i will have vacations unless i didn't pass those subjects again so i will have to take them in august ☹️

I finally got a Flufur, it's so cute, i haven't seen another user with a first stage flufur besides me and i think poof 😋 I got tired of having an onny as featured because many people does so i wanted to have something different 😸

I just wanted to write those things because i'm bored and i wanted to write here 😸

awkolicious • 17 June 2014 at 9:27 PM

I analyse myself to be a dark person when I grow up xD

univea • 23 June 2014 at 12:32 AM

I'd forgotten how good it felt to take a hot bath! 😃 I'm so used to showers in the morning before school. It's like having a blanket made of warm water ^^

iulianna1 • 25 June 2014 at 6:26 PM

@univea
I haven't had a hot bath in years o.o

beckah-lula • 26 June 2014 at 3:05 PM

I finished college two days ago!😋 I was so happy and excited at first but now after job searching for a day or two I'm kinda sad that my future is uncertain, like before I'd wake up get ready and go to college or work placement now I get up and hope to find a job... It's kinda sad, I hope to get one soon, according to my mum I'm now officially a bum cause I have no job and I'm not a student... Thanks mum 😋 this was a random post I know but hey ho 😊

lumpkinz11 • 27 June 2014 at 10:35 PM

My hero is Jeffery Dahmer, and one day I hope to own a cat with realllyyyy stubby legs and name him Dussel McPhifer

mastergemma • 27 June 2014 at 10:51 PM

@lumpkinz11

that's cool XD
Ahh... my hero died a few years ago .___.
He's one of Australia's brightest heroes and everyone back then knew his name ^___^
His daughter is trying to continue his legacy but she will never be as good as Steve Irwin ❤️

sunsol • 4 July 2014 at 9:09 PM

When I was little I loved Steve Irwin!:c.

fakeworld • 9 July 2014 at 12:05 PM

@sunsol Omg me too, I use to be obsessed with them "wildlife" type shows.

shima_longtail • 23 July 2014 at 4:38 AM

Ergh... My life is ruined.... My friends were telling each other some horror stories and now I'm all freaked out... I know it isn't true but pushing it out of my mind is so hard.
:'(

sparklefox • 23 July 2014 at 3:17 PM

@shima_longtail - Just try to get them out of your head. Watch TV, listen to music, do whatever you do to keep calm and forget about it. At least, that's what I do. Sorry for the horrible "advice", but I at least wanted to try to help. X3

sheepfox • 25 July 2014 at 5:48 PM

i just got on here on July 23rd 2014 I've only been on for 2 days and i already have a sparkly blue tasma plushie that's more rare than very rare it was like EXTREMELY UNOBTAINABLE or something like that 0.0

sparklefox • 26 July 2014 at 3:34 AM

@sheepfox - Ooh, lucky you. I never really buy any items other than travels, to be honest. I'm not that interested in items.

sakuravixen • 26 July 2014 at 8:20 AM

@sheepfox Same!

@sparklefox Thanks for the advice. It's a bit better. The memories pop out for a bit then come back though... At least it's better.

sheepfox • 26 July 2014 at 11:34 AM

i have 2 VIRTUALLY UNOBTAINABLE items now, a sparkly blue tasma plushie and a sparkly espresso machine o3o

april__ • 28 July 2014 at 10:17 PM
