  • Haha, yes, you certainly do. Simply by the way you compose yourself, that is clear you have a grip on things. :)

    I know that feeling all too well, I just am so sensitive, I can never forget or forgive myself for that stupidity of my younger days, hell yesterday I got into a car accident and after filing the claims and statements the insurance company decided it was my fault. So, yeah, I had a brand new car for a year and a week and then got into a car accident. I'm really not proud of that one. -_-

    That's very true. As my stress levels climb I experience a sort of panic mode that forces me into acting, it was just last weekend I was experiencing an all time high and due to some other issues, I just had a little meltdown. And that's all very true, I should give it a read. Thank you Warp. :)

    I know, but it's still just learning how to deal with what's going on now, so that in 5 years I don't look back embarrassed as hell over how I acted or what I did.

  • We had this worksheet that was based on experiments form Priestley and Lavoisier and someone else who I have forgotten. It was from a little game on the internet and we had to get the masses and volumes of different substances. That part was no problem because the answer was basically given to us on the internet in the game. The questions weren't that difficult, but I did get some wrong as well as others. I saw that I received a 78%. They went over the worksheet Friday, and I was in her class for about five minutes because I left early. People saw their grade online as well and wanted to see what they got wrong, but she refused to give them their worksheet back. My friend told me that she went over it, but it wasn't making any sense. Everyone has a problem in her class and the parents know to, but the administration doesn't want to get rid of her because she is a sister (nun) at the school and has been a teacher for 50+ years. She probably was an awesome teacher and had patience when she was younger. I mean, she can teach, but it just certain subjects that she can teach well. I took her for physical science and physics and she was awesome in that. I think that that is her better taught subjects. She isn't a bad person at all. She can be the sweetest person, she just have no patience with us.

    Yes, life is like that. It will rise and fall without warning and for no reason. Don't let it get to you too much, the best thing to do is to step back and recognize how worthy you are of things, how strong you are, and how you can make it through it. These are the thoughts that came to me while I relaxed from the breakdowns.

    Just as I was feeling better about myself from the weekend, I got into a car accident. So, yeah, I'm not really even close to being a great person.

    Would you believe me if I say I already went through a small phase like that? I hated myself for so long because of mistakes I made when I was younger and it hurt me, but I came to realize that it isn't me and that I have changed and I can make amends. I did do so with the people I wronged and I do everything in my power to recognize what I'm doing to prevent mistakes again.

    It's hard to come to the realization that things are in the past, that you can't change them but you can change yourself, that because you're willing to change, you're worthy of rest, of peace, and of happiness.

    I don't think I've ever come out of this phase to be honest. Every day is a unending string of thoughts of self loathing. I can't really do anything except move forward, but moving forward makes me despise myself that much more every day. I've come to think that the only way to not risk making more mistakes is by becoming a recluse and speaking to no one.

    Some people can't change, they're just shitty and worthless form the start. Like me.

    I've talked this through with other people, I'm good enough to keep on going forward for the moment, but I forsee something much worse for myself in the future if things don't get better soon.

    Good to know that even the most obscure things can be triggers for these things, in the midst of everything else. Yeah, little thing

  • There is another chem teacher. I take him for my S.T.E.M class. I don't know why never asked him. She and him are on completely different parts of chem. He is more focused on the elements and what they are made of. She is more focused on the math part of chem and the experiments. I like to do the math and experiments in her class, it's just she wants something very specific when we answer the math and questions on the experiment.

    Is there any other chem tutor besides her? Another Chemistry teacher in school, someone you know that is good at it?

  • I do try to ask questions, but she ignores me when I raise my hand or she tells me that I should have been paying attention. She does that with other people as well. I don't know if she is trying to make us more independent or what in class. Sometimes she does answer my question. She answers it correctly sometimes, but other time she tells me answers without answering my question.

  • Keep pushing the question. If she tells you you should have been paying attention tell her you're sorry but you misunderstood what she was saying and ask her to walk you through it. Stay after class and ask her to walk you through a problem step by step and and make sure you grasp each step (teachers really do appreciate students that take the initiative in their learning). She sounds like a bitter lady, but make her teach you the stuff you don't understand, even if it makes you feel worse for the wear. Definitely don't let her ignore you, that's unacceptable in a teaching environment. Do whatever it takes to get her to react, cough loudly, wave your hand in the air, stand up at your table, hell. . . stand on your table.

    My sister drives me nuts and is too damn controlling. I know siblings are naturally supposed to get under your skin, but my sister and I have always been close due to our age ranges, but lately (last two years or so), I've begun to be able to not stand her. At first, it was friendly rivalry, but now it's just flat-out insulting as she spits on my beliefs, stances and intelligence. We're hot and cold, so naturally, we're going to clash and I hate lashing out, but my sister knows exactly what buttons to push and she doesn't seem to understand the definition of a "joke" either, so it isn't like she's poking fun at my flaws in a jovial manner.

    Of course, after lashing out, I feel like shit afterwards, but at the same time, I keep telling myself she can go fuck herself because for years, she's always said I'm a horrible student, yet here I am, making local newspaper headlines for being honor roll in my classes and getting the highest midterm grades in my class, despite being in Honors. There's also my beliefs as I'm an anti-feminist and she is a feminist. She claims I'm a bigot for having personal vendettas against feminists due to bad experiences, comparing me to old racist conservatives.

    Rather be compared to them than to your selfish ass. My vent? I'm totally pissed at my sister and I want nothing to do with her right now.

    Soldiers aren't heroes, putting on a set of fatigues doesn't turn people into saints. They're normal folks doing a sometimes high-risk job and getting good benefits in return. The forced patriotism and military worship in America is unseemly and pathetic.

    HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO END YOUR SENTENCE WITH A PREPOSITION, YOU LITTLE -- oh, sorry.

    Of course it's upsetting when people yell at you. If it's for really little things, maybe even things that aren't even hurting them, it's usually caused by insecurity on their part. Try imagining yourself in their place, and imagine why they might be yelling. It takes your mind off cringing, anyway.

  • Do what makes you happy, but make sure it makes you happy. I know I struggled with the subtle differences between joy and placation for years. Instantaneous gratification can seem worthwhile for awhile, but it comes as fast as it goes (at least in my experience), and once you're used to instant gratification it becomes more and more displeasing to reach for long term gratification. But when it comes down to it don't let anyone dissuade you from doing what you want to do, whether that be getting a girlfriend, getting a boyfriend, or playing video games, it's not for them to judge (and this applies to everything, unless you're hurting someone).

  • Well, to be fair, I really shouldn't be complaining as I get to be miles away from my sibling. I live two states away from her, which likely is the cause of the strain on our relationship. So, unfortunately, it's not like I can just laugh at it/her.

  • Catholic schools or private schools grading scales are different from the public schools where I live and anywhere else. It goes A=100-94, B=93-86, C=85-78, D=77-70, and F= 69-0

    I'm not sure I'm understanding your school's grading system. A 75% is a D? How exactly does that work (I'm Australian, so I've got no clue how other grading systems work).

  • So 77% counts as a D? That sounds a bit... harsh.

  • Yeah, it does sound a bit harsh. But I'm used to it. Seeing a 75% as a C is a little strange for me because I never knew that existed. I wish I had a different grading system.

    Not sure if this qualifies but...

    I backed something known as Godus... It didn't turn out to be almost anything like they pitched to us in terms of having actual big virtual planet that holds the entire playerbase and you would eventually meet other civilizations as they expand in that giant planet. Also stuff like planet wide currents and weathers were promised.

    The game has been going to different direction and instead of completing it, they dumped "Godus" and launched something called "Godus Wars" over at Steam and gave us backers a free copy. So yeah, they fused the original game and a new RTS game mode known as "Godus Wars"... It allows still play "Godus" too but if they actually keep developing that game mode is anyone's guess.

    Considering Black and White series of god games are only "real" attempts of making an actual game where you're pretending to be a god, this is pathetic that we still lack successor to that idea. Back when I was backing I was hoping that Godus would have been third game that would actually appoint you as a god and not a manager.

    I have yet to play any other god game outside of Black and White series that has actually made me feel like I'm supposed to be deity who guides a civilization and not a manager who could be as well not named as you don't get to even shoot fireballs from your avatar and the powers are overly regulated. In fact, Sim City 4000 is closer a god game than Godus.

  • For some reason, the forums decided not to notify me of this post, and the only reason I saw it today (a week and a half later) was that Blind Sniper made some replies on the same page.

    Car accidents are a thing all their own. Whenever I've been in one that made a loud noise, it stuck with me for quite a while, and I was hearing it everywhere. It does eventually settle down, though.

    I was actually in a car accident this past weekend, but I wasn't driving, and it wasn't my car. Thankfully, that one managed to be just a scrape, so not so bad, and no one was hurt.

  • Hillary Clinton and her supports annoy the hell outta me...

    She said at the debate that she's not part of the establishment because she's a "woman running to be the first woman president"- that doesn't mean shit and she's just playing the woman card.

    I also saw some lady at a Clinton rally on TV say that "there's a special place in hell for women who don't help fellow women" referring to women who won't vote for Hillary- what utter fucking bullshit. Feminism annoys me because most feminists I've seen take it too far and just because Hillary is a woman, doesn't mean that she should be President dumbasses.

    And on a side note because I'm talking about the race, I watched the Republican Debate last night and I guess it was interesting :)
