Alexander wrote: *Stuff*
I'm thankful for the kind words you gave me, although it doesn't get me to stop thinking that without college, I'm as good as nothing. Believe me, they scare you into going to college in a lot in schools (or maybe it's mine in particular, just a lot more pushy). It's like their message is this: "If you go to college, you'll be happy and rich forever and not experience any problems. You'll have new cars, large houses, a happy family and happieness will fill you. The people who don't finish college or even high school will eventually live in the streets because they're so poor, they couldn't pay the triple mortgage. They need to support a large family on only 26 grand a year in a small, cramped apartment." Okay, the mortgage suddenly applying to apartments doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the message I'm getting from my counselors, teachers, pamphlets, and the occasional student. However, another person on another forum I go to is becomeing a writer, and even though he's in college and has a GED, he's content with the idea of only getting $26 grand a year. Now, his testimony doesn't match up to what the "scary, undeniably truthful truth that's always right forever and ever until even after the end of the universe when nothing is alive anymore". They're always saying that the college-less people who are successful are part of a minority, and that I believe. Therefore, even though I find the message I'm getting stupid and at least somewhat full of plot holes, I'm scared of not going to college. Mainly for my future, but also because I don't want to let my parents down by not going. My dad had four children (3 from his 1st marriage, and me from his second), but only the youngest of the three actually finished high school and college on schedule. I don't want to disappoint dad like that. He's been through a lot , but I don't want to look like a failure to him as well. At my age, I'm behind my sister in greatness, as stupid as it may sound. She had awards from school (most of them, to be truthful, were 5th or 6th places) and got her money for college by herself. Since my mom didn't want to help someone who "isn't her child". The emo point I'm getting to, is that I don't want to go to college, yet I'm scared that if I don't, I'll fail everything and everyone, so I have to go if I don't want to look like a total failure to everyone. And the problem is that I'm going to be a sophmore in a few months and I have no idea what I want to be, where i want to go, or how I'll get the money. And how to get my own dorm room, if possible. Sorry to break emo character, but I'm not a person who likes to share things, yet I don't want an apartment all by myself. I'm afraid someone will attack me or something. |

For what it's worth, CL, you don't necessarily have to go to college right out of high school. More and more kids are taking a year off or so and actually going back, although many parents and teachers hold the opinion that if you don't go when you're 18, you won't when you're 19, or 20, or whatever. Here's a success story right here. There once was a girl who graduated from high school at 19 and went to university because her parents wanted her to, and it didn't hurt that she had a full scholarship for the first year. If that scholarship hadn't been in the equation, she would've taken the fabled year off and gone to university the following autumn. Well, come October, she realized that she had skipped so many classes and assignments that there was no way she'd be able to make up that time, so she dropped out. She continued to work her crappy fast-food job for a few years, then got a job at a bookstore. Five years after dropping out of university, she realized that she really wouldn't be able to go anywhere without that degree. So she went back, 6 years older than almost all of the other first-year students, and then she grew up to be that lovable, so-cute-it-makes-you-sick mod, MHG. I'm starting my 3rd year this fall, and feeling better than ever. But I do wish that I had only taken that one year off. However, different people are ready for different stages at different times. It took me 5 years, and I feel okay about that. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that high school grads are pressured and rushed into adulthood way too soon (in my opinion), so if you aren't ready for college right away, you're not the only one. So if you decide to work for a year first, that's all right. It might be better than going when you don't want to, and failing out or dropping out like I did. The end. |

Hey, don't worry Schmelen. A lot of people aren't nominated their first WIki Awards. And ik, you're a cool guy. Don't worry. Here's the thing, everyone who thinks they're not appreciated, you're wrong. There are a lot of members right now, a lot more than I realized. Because of this, not everyone is going to get physically thanked for what they do here. But that doesn't mean what you do isn't appreciated. I know that I appreciate everything everyone does here, even if I don't say it all the time, and I'm sure a lot of people would say the same. As long as you do something good here, someone will appreciate it. |

I'm starting to feel pathetic, its like being a foreigner. you know how there's this whole history with the indigenous people they treat each other like old friends, because they are old friends and you feel left out when they don't talk to you because of either shyness or not wanting to meet... other people as a newcomer to many things I don't have any good old days |

I cried my eyes out last night because... I mean... things are bad enough, but now I've just been reminded that everyone in this town is fake and shallow, and it's worthless trying to find a meaningful relationship. And people don't seem to care about me anymore. I mean, only when it's cool to care about me. When it's cool to be that nice person. I don't think you people understand. I have to go through Hell. Every day. I don't even complain as much as I could. |

I care.. and I'm never one to follow the trend. And I know I'm a complete stranger on the internet and I barely know you but honestly, I do care and I'm sure there are a whole bunch of people out there who do too, who know you more than I do. Don't give up completely on the relationship thing. It'll be difficult but there will be somewhere out there for you, somebody who isn't shallow and deserves you. I hope this post.. at least sort of helped. |

I feel sad. Really really sad. My happy music isn't even making me feel better. I guess it's because of my brother. I don't think many of you know much about him. 17 and he's got Down's Syndrome Clicky I've mentioned it once, i think- a long time ago. Any way, in biology last week we were talking about Genetics and reproduction- enzymes and all that jazz, and the teacher said that people born with Down's usually die earlier than people with out. It did upset me, but i've cried about stuff like that at school before, and i didn't want to do it again. I didn't say anything. But it's been on my mind lots recently. I don't know what i'd do if Michael died. He's priceless. And another thing that has made me angry and sad is when people make fun of him. I don't think that he realises it, but they do- people at his school, people in the street. Lots of people. The have no idea what kind of person he is. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE FUN OF HIM. It makes me so mad, i just want to stamp their stupid ugly faces into the ground. ANYWAY, yeah... The point is that i think i'm going to cry now, but i do feel a bit better now i've got that off my chest. |

And I get beaten up, lose confidence, and get hurt inside every. Single. DAY! By my brother. And then because of the depression from just that. Is the reason I act half insane; yeah. I really am half insane for real. |

I rember in 4th grade, there was a student with Down's syndrom, and he was the most populare kid at school. And it a good way. Everyone wanted to be with him and talk to him. I just wish the rest of the world could be like that. |

I just had a thought, maybe what I call hell in my house has made me mature and seem older than I really am. Because of the constant stress and depression, I felt like I've changed. Yeah, I think I just realised......Dangit....So, who am I? (Don't make a witty pun about the question or you're going down!) |

oh oh oh. Here's another thing that annoys me. Still talking about my bro here: When people talk down to him, like he's a baby. It just makes me want to kick them. I'm sorry- i get kinda violent when someone does anything offensive to me via Mike. And my friends don't understand when i talk about him. They all have "normal" families, with happy lifes. Also, i'm annoyed at my dad. I don't think that i should be annoyed with him about this though. My mum and dad split nearly 5 years ago, and now he's got a new ladyfriend. He always seems to be going out with her when me and my brother want to see him- like this week end- he's gone on holiday with her, when me and mike were scheduled to be going to his house. I think it annoys me so much because when i was younger he was always at work and never had time for me, but somehow now he has plenty of time for her. grr. |

Seriously, please don't do this to yourself. I know this is hypocritical from someone who is not exactly the best at controlling my emotions (and it probably is), but you can choose to at least TRY to be happy if you want to. And I know you might not be happy, but I mean, come on! You're not even trying here! I think really you kinda want to be sad. Like some sort of..... I dunno...... okay, I'll shut up since I don't actually know what the crap I'm talking about. But still, it makes me sad to see you so sad........
AFTERTHOUGHT: And you don't have to listen to your mom, all right? YOU DON'T HAVE TO FREAKIN' LISTEN. There, I said it. Blow her off completely if you must. |
