Oh my gosh, Owen.

They're weak, okay? They pick on you because they don't know how else to communicate, because they feel superior when they do. They want to make themselves feel good about themselves.

I'm so sorry Owen. I want to help you. The only thing I can do is tell you I am here and I seriously hope that helps. You are strong, okay?

THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING! O_e You're in, what, 8th grade?! That's NOT when people begin learning quantum physics. Even in an IB class...just....no. Way too early. *glomps* I'm so sorry, Sandy. It's not your fault they're like that. And you have every right to be anxious! How can you trust a teacher who loads you down with unnecessary work, stresses you out beyond your limit, and then ADMITS that it was all for nothing?! *headdesks* GAH.

Well...point is, you're not failing, and, in fact, you're exceeding. <:^) So try to focus on that. Even if you don't understand how your grades are so high, just be glad that they ARE high. *gives a muffin and some coffee* Have a snack, take a deep breath, and try not to overload. You'll do GREAT on the project. I know you will.

Plot twist: I did totally fine on my project, and that kid I was telling you about only asked one question, which I answered with ease. :I

Welp.

At least all the anxiety leading up to it made the week pass by at supersonic speed, and Friday is suddenly right around the corner. o_O
I'm in 9th grade, so high school. :> I believe we are in the same grade.


Thank you, though, EVT--EVERYONE who responded---I really appreciate it, and it DID help a lot. :') This is why I love the EVT. I really try to stick up for this thread and the people on it when people bash about being depressed and whatnot.
You people use the word "amazing" a lot, but amazing doesn't even begin to describe. You are what people should be. So strong, yet not oblivious to your problems. Everyone is human here.

:')
(*group hug*)

It's just a part of your life, Owen. Regardless of what happens, it WILL pass.
Kids can only be kids for so long--they have to grow up eventually, and the imbecilic rock-throwing WILL stop. I know the feeling of helplessness when a school doesn't seem to care when something's going wrong, that was basically my entire experience with the Catholic school board in my city... Just try your best to push through it, even though you don't deserve to be treated like these crapwads treat you.
The reality is that they are much, MUCH weaker than you are, regardless of whether you're "weak" at all.

You're not the one who's weak. You aren't the one who has to throw rocks at people to feel pleasure.

woot. this is good.
*not at all sarcastic*
i'm still absolutely fucking terrified and i hate myself so much, though. but, hey, at least the fear at the moment isn't as bad as it could be

Try not to hate yourself.

;_; Don't hate yourself...please.

Did something happen? *does not understand if you're actually being sarcastic or not* *is dumb*

When you almost...?

Excited
 

WHOOP DE DOOP my teacher is going to put my shape poem I did for homework in the school magazine!

not gonna happen :P

yeah… it was a while ago.
And iCK I HATE TRYING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW YOU'RE NOT BEING SARCASTIC ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE IT SOUNDS SARCASTIC. no, that wasn't sarcastic, i was actually relieved.


*hugs AA* What almost happened?
