Me and my sister added a llama and a ninja to this already fabulous game.

BEGINING:
Sometimes I look at the world and say, "Wow..."
That's the moment I realize how bad we've gotten, how terrible we've become, how much DESTRUCTION we leave in our paths. When there is constantly rapes and thefts and murders and suicides, all flooding the news channels. Then there's that little segment on the news about the puppies that were rescued last week. Aw! Aaaaaaand, back to the shootings from last night. Wow...
CHAPTER ONE:
Then you start to think. "This place is terrible! This is horrible! ...we did this." But then you think, 'Hey, what if everyone just did ________ and was nice to other people and we all _______ and no one would have to suffer!' And you get all excited, thinking it's possible and you could totally do this! Remember that magazine you were reading? Yeah, the one with all those articles a teens who did good in their community; if half of all teens did stuff like that, you think, this place would brighten up, big time! ^_^
CHAPTER TWO: And then you think, 'Let's do this!' and you're all set and ready. And no one listens. 'Well,' you always think, 'I can always ask ______ to help me!' Aaaaand... turns out they won't/can't help either.
CONCLUSION: Only if half of EVERYONE in the world could turn around, then we could fix this, you think. It seems so impossible again. 'Why did I even try,' you mumble, wondering why you even thought it could work. -_-
EPILOUGE:
You're watching the news again, trying to ignore all the dumb, mean things people do. Blah blah blah, killings, blah blah blah hurt, blah blah blah, nothing-is-good-any-more, etc. =_='
The next segment is about a kind-hearted person who donated a kidney, which ultimately saved a life; literally. O.O
And you think, 'I can still do this,' with a ray of hope. The sun shines a little brighter next morning. (:
(Eh, feeling under-da-weather and was hoping this would make me feel better; it did.) (:

To be honest I consider myself gone for good, but when I'm bored I do enjoy creeping.
Occasionally one might see me bickering on WB or posting random things (on WB) but I doubt that there will be any more writing/poetry/VM of any kind.
I regret that the chances of me "finishing" VM are very slim, but at the same time, I DID finish it... technically. Maybe if I get horribly sick and have to spend a lot of time in a hospital bed, I will finish it.
Why am I leaving? Well, to be honest, I feel caged by KidPub. Not by the writing, nor its members--simply the air that KidPub has adapted. Almost exclusively Christian beliefs are beginning to wear me down, especially when I've joined the Gay Straight Alliance this year (no offense to anyone--I do support God to an extent) and my views on the world are becoming clearer as I adjust to an IB (or, Pre-IB, at least) mindset. I have more on this but I really don't think that anyone really needs to hear. :/
So although I don't consider my "departure" from KidPub to be on the best of terms, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy KidPub and I do love its members. :)

*momentary fist bump for your joining Gay Straight Alliance*

You should finish VM… 'cause it's bloody epik and I still haven't caught up on it and god…

Was Colorado the only state that heard about Jessica? It's just....horrible. I can't even express it in words.

The real God doesn't care if you're straight or gay. The Bible, no offense to peeps, is a bunch of baloney. It is written by man. Not God.

PLEASE COME BACK THO. ;_;

I feel like I should be offended, being an American who severely dislikes the stereotypes made so carelessly about her country... but I'm not really.
Maybe there should just be a GPA cut-off. Anyone with a 3.8 or higher GPA can enter the society. Then you're not being... nationalist? Can you even use that word in that sense?

. . .

Wow. And just when I was going to change my WB sig to a link to the VM Prologue. o_o Lovely timing.

The problem with KidPub:
 

I realized something today, after thinking about why so many members are leaving, and why KidPub’s status has been going down.

Simply put, this is a writing website. Its purpose is for young writers to hone their skill though the praise and constructive criticism of other members. That's it. Cut and dry.

This site is NOT like other social networking sites. This isn’t Facebook—when you join, you don’t just join to talk to friends or meet new people or waste time. This isn’t Twitter—saying random things to get attention is not the purpose of this site. Why do people clog? They want attention, be it negative or positive. More and more people are coming on here using text talk and are totally unable to take CC, or give it. All these people aren't real writers. They like to write, but they like attention better.

I joined KidPub because I wanted to grow as a writer. I wasn’t looking for sympathy or craving attention or wanting to make new friends. I wanted CC. I wanted to know if I was a decent writer or not. I honestly didn’t expect any more than a few people to pay attention to my book. I am eternally grateful for all the people who have commented on my story. It is very near and dear to my heart, and so are all of my readers. And that brings me to my next topic.

Once upon a time, everyone on here had what dragonwriter called a “soul story.” People were totally committed to one or two of these “soul stories,” and so were their followers. Why aren’t people commenting nowadays, besides not having enough time? Because, there are less and less stories that get finished. Why read a story if you never get to the climax, or the resolution of the plot? More and more stories just fade into an oblivion because their writers don’t have time to write it, don’t like the story anymore, came up with a better idea, or are just...fickle.

And don’t even get me started on fanfics. Yes, they’re fun to write. But, in my opinion, they should be viewed as strictly side-projects, writing warmups, and simple tributes to show your favor for published story/movie/show. When they dominate the NS page, that's a sign that no one's really trying to be original. If you want to just write fanfics, then join a fanfic site. Being a true writer means writing about your own ideas.

And then there are the people who can't keep their opinions to themselves. This is a writing website, NOT a debate club. We're not on here to judge people. We're not on here to prove a point. But for some people to be able to say whatever they want just because they know how to throw their weight around and no one wants to argue with them is just plain wrong.

I love this site. I'm glad I found it. I love my readers. I love my characters. But sometimes...things are just ridiculous on here and it makes me want to scream.

Uuummm hummm. Preach it, Ash.

XD

O_o XDD Uh...thank you, I think...

I honestly know how you feel. Same here. I wanted to join this place to write and get CC from others to see if my book is alright. And now, people are having arguements and doing other random things other than writing their OWN stories. Other than that, some people (well, most) are writing fan fictions which (exact same to me) doesn't feel as if it is supposed to go on this site. Since we should be writing down our own ideas onto pen and paper and putting/posting it on KidPub to see if it makes sense or whatever. That's my opinion and I can agree with you.

IT'S AN EFFING CHAIN REACTION.
People are leaving because people are leaving...

I do think the main part of KidPub is now the forums, but I do enjoy the debates.

Does anyone else think that the number of stories on the NSP has reduce by at least 50%?

Haha sorry xD

My High School Placement Test is in two weeks.

.__.

Is that horrifying, or is it just me?

Wait, are their like High Schools based on your intelligence level? 'Cause that's super awesome! I wish my city did that...

o-o

Ouch........

Cupcakes solve the world problems.

And I just cried today, spontaneously. I dunno why. o_o

Yup.

Dem stupid.


I KNOW. D8

My soul story is probably either AP or NSR.

*I think that the debating should be kept strictly to the debate threads, but I don't see a problem with the debate threads as long as people are relatively civil. WB is one of the only places where kids can actually debate things with kids from other parts of the country/world, and I think that's a valuable thing.*
I do agree, though.

School Issues.
 

Yep, that's it... school. It feels to me like every day, one person says a rude thing and then, it just catches on pretty much every other day and it makes me feel like I'm gonna catch onto it and be a bad person. I'm not pointing at anyone in particular on KidPub but at school. I just think that everyone needs to lay off and mind their own business if they're going to start bugging me because if that happens I feel like it will just make me feel more angrier than I have ever felt. And, that's mainly what people do at my school. They make you feel terrible about yourself; embarass you; pick on you behind your back; do something physical that hurts you and this happens quite a lot to me. So, I guess it is safe to say that I have been bullied. That's what they do at my school. Bully you... badly.

Teachers.

Them. Those teachers who actually force you to do something that isn't quite related to school and to me, I don't know if other people notice it these days, it feels like they choose what our education is going to be like in the future. That is irritating in so many ways that I can't start. Also, some of the teachers expect us to do atleast say... a page worth of work. When they say that, they only give us near 10 minutes to do it and we haven't even prepared and got startasdfghjkl-- GOD. It just bugs me how TEACHERS can do that to us students and they need to lay off us as well. They just need to give us a bit of relaxation once in a while, if you know what I mean. If you don't, I don't care. I know what I mean. They just... *sigh* FUSJNOICJOH It's annoying. Like, for another reason, they expect me to do homework in a matter of time when they only give us one day to do 5 subjects and each take at least 2 long hours to do. Damn, it frustrats me and no other kids.

Kids in class, in general.

Those kids who are just on the run for double trouble and never help you when you need a hand with things. I'm not being sarcastic here. I MEAN WHAT I SAY. It just... is confusing to me and I don't think I should be one of those kids to get involved in it, since I am good and smart and not an idiotic person like most kids in my class are. I don't feel as if I want to get annoyed--Actually, that's exactly how I feel. And, there are some kids who actually THREATEN you by saying "Oh, meet me after school so I can bash you up..." WHAT DA HECK? That is for no reason at all, also. That is just for no apperant reason and yet, they still do it. I don't care if I rant. It's the time and mood I am in. Also, some people pass around notes in my class like: "You are an idiotic dumb retard. Deal with it." And, yet, there's no reason for that. I don't get why someone would do that. They think they're all :cool: and :D all the time about making people (random people, by the way. They chucked it on a table, like that.) feel bad.



:mad: No. Just no, every mean kid at school.



/shakes head It just makes me feel like all of those nice things I did to nice people doesn't matter anymore.



Yeah, I had a crap two days.

._. Don't you just love it when you're feeling down, and you turn on some music, and EVERY SONG seems to fit how you feel and/or remind you of what's going on in your life? >_<

I know, the stretch from 2NE1 to BigBang isn't very far, but, c'mon. Going from K-Pop to Elton John to Aerosmith and all finding their songs fitting is just downright irritating. x_x

Meh. I guess I'm feeling better...bit by bit...music is just so therapeutic...

I didn't really care when it was the time for my SSPA's--Secondary School Placement Assessment.

Why shouldn't it be?
I wish it weren't. Now I can't keep up in Chinese and am only OK in math...at least I'm still one of the best in English, I think. I suppose it is just fair.

Agent Platypus or New Story Renn?

Chinese is killing meh.

Well, those kids are just stupid. I'd scoff imperiously and say shut up, like I did when my friend expected me to dump her rubbish.
I find many songs that my characters can relate to.

I know how you feel. Whenever I ask my friend what's going on in a class, she's like, "You should have been listening. It's your problem." Or when I asked why donuts were hanging from the ceiling of the black box, she said, "You didn't hear? Your loss."

Max, hold your head high, and ignore those jerks. They neither deserve, nor value your attention, so you shouldn't deign to give it to them.
As for the teachers, I don't really have mush experiance with them, but I don't think there's much to do. I get the irritatedness though, I feel that way a lot. I have work samlpes, assignment, and then college prep, even though I'm in middle school to do every month, and it gets really old really fast.
The people in your class that do that, same drill with the other jerks: ignore them. And if you get something like that, I'd give it to your teacher, and tell them who you got it from. That is really a rude and mean thing to do.
I don't know how much this will help, as I don't have a whole lot of experiance with public school, but I hope you can use some of my advice. And go purple today, dude. Today is Spirit Day, the day that's against bullying.

It's cool, Max :) You needed to get some of that off your chest, I'm sure. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming swimming." XD

What's with the purple text?

Today is Spirit Day. The day against bullying. Purple is the rainbow color for Spirit. Purple for those who think bullying of any kind is wrong. So, I'm purple, and so is Max. :)
