Nice advice. :3

Cupcakes solve the world problems.

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

But just because they're cookie cutters, doesn't mean you have to be one.
Don't become one of them. It's people like you and me that actually make a difference in this world.

Yup.

Dem stupid.

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.

I KNOW. D8

My soul story is probably either AP or NSR.

I lost my best friend.
My "friend" constantly is putting me down.
I got judged by another one of my "friends".
My second best friend doesn't see me the same way.
I only have one friend and I don't trust her(even though she is trustable) after the above.
I'm failing school.

And this is all my fault.

I do agree, though.

And I laugh.
But it hurts, even though I know it IS my fault. They don't have to shove it in my face though.Thank you for helping me and encouraging me to do my homework. *sarcasm*

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.
