Another typical idNut post: Failing High School...

[tarheelmm]

I quit school half way thru my senior year for lots of personal reasons
Went back the next year and made honor roll everytime
Probably the best move I ever made

take the rest of this year off to make money and then go back.

there is no point in wasting yours and your teacher's time when you aren't trying.

It's high school. You don't take semesters off in high school.

sure you can.

maybe taking time off school and getting councelling or whatever would be better than ruining an entire year of school with bad grades and not being able to get into university/college.

I don't know how they do it in Canada, but I've never once heard of anyone doing that in the US.

i'm not saying that its usual or typical because most kids at the age of 17 don't want to get full time jobs. they want to get school done with to start their lives.
i know a few kids that dropped out, were kicked or got really sick and came back a year or semester later

i am not saying its the best option but if nothing else is working its something to consider.

"Social Studies I just don't do the homework because I find it an utter waste of time as do I with other homework. I give school practically nine hours of my day and they want me to take it home and taint me? Lastly, English I am failing because I hate the teacher and she hates me"

Read the quote above all you give him a break he's just depressed windbags. Does that sound like depression? No, it sounds like good old fashioned laziness. This guy has nothing but the classic blame everyone but himself for his problems syndrome, a.k.a. unable to accept responsibility for his own actions.

It pisses me off how everyone tries to blame kids screwing up, failing school, etc... on depression or ADD these days. Funny how I don't remember ADD being around when I was a kid, I was born in 1970. Back then if I was screwing up I most likely got a case of the red ass from my Father's belt until I pulled my head out of my ass and started getting my act together. Kids these days cry and complain about every freaking little thing that upsets their delicate nature these days. Spoiled bunch of freaking crybaby brats. Just shut the hell up and get your sh1t together.

As for you idNut.....You give school 9 hours a day? Well whoop dee freaking doo!!! Wait until you get out of school and enter the REAL world. I'm not talking about the MTV version buddy. I'm talking life. Stop your bitching, suck it up, and deal with it like the rest of us did.

Ignore all the dumb asses that frequent the forums. Some people realize that problems like depression or ADD have physical causes and can be corrected by medication. I would suggest talking with a medical professional forget the psychologist.

Christ.... let me guess, you have SAD too?? I'm so sick of hearing people blaming their problems on "diseases" like ADD and SAD... They've become nothing more then justification for a sedentary lifestyle that wasn't filled with the riches promised them by their parents or peers.. which might have been achieved with a little self-discipline and/or motivation. Does this kid need his parents to wipe his a$$ for him, or does he just walk around with turds hanging off, because it bugs hiim that the turds expect him to remove them, and not just take it upon themselves to separate themselves from his buttocks...???

I'm so sick of hearing these whiny little punk kids that bitch because they're "disillusioned".


Bah!... I'm sick of preaching to deaf ears..

 

[Stark]

stop playing doom?

i think i remember previous threads where you said you are/were Christian... have you seen a priest/pastor/youth counsellor and talked about your depression?

If you have a problem, that may be a good place to start. Making daily posts about how much your life sucks certainly is not.

Ah Yeah Yo
This Song Is Dedicated To All The Happy People
All The Happy People Who Have Real Nice Lives
And Who Have No Idea Whats It Like To Be Broke As Fxck

Verse One

I Feel Like I'm Walking A Tight Rope Without A Circus Net
I'm Popping Perkasets I'm A Nervous Wreck
I Deserve Respect But I Work A Sweat For This Worthless Check
Bout To Burst This Tech At Somebody To Reverse This Debt
Minimum Wage Got My Adrenaline Caged
Full Of Venom And Rage
Especially When I'm Engaged
And My Daughter's Down To Her Last Diaper
That's Got My @ss Hyper
I Pray That God Answers Maybe I'll Ask Nicer
Watching Ballers While They Flossing In Their Pathfinders
These Overnight Stars Becoming Autograph Signers
We'll All Gone Blow Up And Leave The Past Behind Us
Along With The Small Fry's And Average Half Pinters
While Playa Haters Turn Bxtch Like They Have Vaginas
Cause We See Them Dollar Signs And Let The Cash Blind Us
Money Will Brainwash You And Leave Your @ss Mindless
Snakes Slither In The Grass Spineless

Chorus Repeat 2x

That's Rock Bottom
When This Life Makes You Mad Enough To Kill
That's Rock Bottom
When You Want Something Bad Enough You'll Steal
That's Rock Bottom
When You Feel You Have Had It Up To Here
Cause You Mad Enough To Scream But You Sad Enough To Tear

Verse Two

My Life Is Full Of Empty Promises
And Broken Dreams
I'm Hoping Things Will Look Up
But There Ain't No Job Openings
I Feel Discouraged Hungry And Malnourished
Living In This House With No Furnace Unfurnished
And I'm Sick Of Working Dead End Jobs With Lame Pay
And I'm Tired Of Being Hired And Fired The Same Day
But Fxck It If You Know The Rules To The Game Play
Cause When We Die We Know Were All Going The Same Way
It's Cool To Be Player But It Sucks To Be The Fan
When All You Need Is Bucks To Be The Man
Plus A Luxury Sedan
Too Comfortable And Roomy In A Six
They Threw Me In The Mix
With All These Gloomy Lunatics
Walk Around Depressed
And Smoke A Pound Of Ses A Day
And Yesterday Went By So Quick It Seems Like It Was Just Today
My Daughter Wants To Throw The Ball But I'm Too Stressed To Play
Live Half My Life And Throw The Rest Away

Chorus

There's People That Love Me And People That Hate Me
But It's The Evil That Made Me This Backstabbing Deceitful And Shady
I Want The Money The Women The Fortune And The Fame
That Means I'll End Up Burning In Hell Scorching In Flames
That Means I'm Stealing Your Checkbook And Forging Your Name
Lifetime Bliss For Eternal Torture And Pain
Right Now I Feel Like Just Hit The Rock Bottom
I Got Problems Now Everybody On My Blocks Got 'em
I'm Screaming Like Those Two Cops When 2pac Shot 'em
Holding Two Glocks I Hope Your Doors Got New Locks On 'em
My Daughter's Feet Ain't Got No Shoes Or Sock's On 'em
And Them Rings You Wearing Look Like They Got A Few Rocks On 'em
And While You Flaunting Them I Could Be Taking Them To Shops To Pawn Them
I Got A Couple Of Rings And A Brand New Watch You Want 'em
Cause I Never Went Gold Of One Song
I'm Running Up On Someone's Lawns With Guns Drawn

Because yes, we wall want to be like Eminiem...

I was born in 1978, but had much the same aspects as yours. It just seems like kids are failing because they don't care... like everything's going to be handed to them... I didn't bust my ass in school by any means, but I damn sure made I passed, and got my diplomas.

Stupid kids....

So sick that you had to read the thread and reply to it. No ones blaming any diseases. I don't even know this guy. He seemed to be asking for assistance so I offered a suggestion. Scheduling a visit with a physician is a good start. It may be a chemical imbalance or it maybe something else causing some sort of depression.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Suck it up and study. Nothing you do for school is waste of time. You're in highschool. You have nothing better to do than to do schoolwork. I did well in highschool(after my freshman year ), and I couldn't really speak English in my first year in highschool, and that was because I put in the effort required to do well. Now that I'm beginning remember my earlier struggles with English, I'm beginning to realize how much of a whiner you really are. You're also a lazy ass. I did all my homework in my 2nd language.

What I don't understand is why everyone is making excuses for this sorry bastach. It's his problem, yet he comes on here to whine and complain so that he can get the attention he obviously wants?? "Oh, look at me, Im a whiny little suck who's parents refuse to discipline me because then I'd sue them for abuse. Oh boohoo, I can't pass my classes because I have no motivation because everything has gone my way! Wahh, sniffle, snivvle"

I thought it was social anxiety disorder? Hmmm, a polymorphic disorder acronym.

I love overcast days, and hate sunny days. What do you call that?

LOL


You haven't hit rock bottom. Trust me.





Info on why I am so cheerful:

1. I was getting Straight A's all of my life and somehow barely passed 12th grade.

2. I totally destroyed my GPA last year, my first year in college. FFFFFFFFFFFFF

3. My Dad left the family.

4. My grandmother has alhseihmers and takes a dump every so often in my aunts yard..she doesn't know any better....she is basically a child


Seriously man, you do not have it bad from what I see. YOu PERCIEVE to, and that is even worse. Why do you think people stear clear?BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ESPECIALLY WRONG. You have to accept your faults LARGE or SMALL, and TAKE THEM IN STRIDE.

What>?...I have some weird stomach problem...doesn't phase me.
I bleed because of it all the time...who the f cares.


Just remeber this:

1. My granda is now in a "home" where she can be properly cared for...somehow the family gathered up the funds.

2. I am on COOP in school and doing fabulously if I do say so myself.

3. My dad called me for New years. That was the happiest day I can remember in my entire life.



Just remember the hard truth that you will some day have to learn and hopefully you will embrace it.


No one gives a damn.

People pity you as they did me, but they will continue their lives and watch as you rot in a cespool of your own doing.


You are the one that has to get up and do whatever it is you want to do in life because no one will give a damn if you don't.




Sorry it is so harsh....but if you take this lightly you will see what I mean..


All those Eastmans and Rockefellars went through a period of confusions, but the difference between them and Bob from accounting is that they NEVER gave in so self-pity.


I get hurt everyday.

To say it doesn't phase me would be a lie.
To say that it makes me stronger for the next round...well, that is as tue as it will ever get.

EDIT: On k I do have to get that stomach thing checked out....their is valor, and then their is plain idiocy

 

[OrganizedChaos]

I'm in the exact same situation here. Currently in my 2nd sophmore year, possibly a 3rd coming up and to think I used to be a straight A student.

 

[edjam]

Just do your best man, and yeah, talk to someone about it, school may be able to help.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

You have food on your plate and people who care about you, you're far from rock bottom.

One thing, don't let anyone give you medications.

 

[newbiepcuser]

Just do your best man, and yeah, talk to someone about it, school may be able to help.

Well Said

 

[idNut]

You all are right. But I know some of this is severe depression that goes beyond school that I have absolutely no control over; I can't just shut it off like you guys tell me to. I have become lazy because I'm not motivated which is, yes, my fvcking problem and I should just STFU and take care of it yet I don't know why the fvck I post these retarded posts knowing that I'll be flamed. Not all of it is laziness as I have said before. Some of it is cold, desolate depression that I have absolutely no way to surpass. I will seriously sit down while I'm like this and really really try to do my homework but I just can't, my hand will not write and my mind is in a completely different dimension. During these times I can only go to sleep or sit in solitude and listen to music.

I'll stop with these obscene posts, I've taken this stupidity too far and you guys have heard enough. My apologies to you but there is one question that I still ponder which is if you guys hate these sort of posts, why do you reply to them? If they annoy you so much why not just leave them alone and let them go down the line and off the first page of the forum? Boldness and telling me to get off my @ss won't do anything but offering some sort of hope or light at the edge of the tunnel will such as Azraele's post which was the best advice I have ever gotten and was polite.

But someone mentioned about my religious state and I have seemed to have thrown that out the door with hope due to the thoughts of futility. Who knows, who cares if I get either back? Also for the record, I never desired any pity from you but real advice like Azraele provided.

 

[tcsenter]

If I could do high school over again, I would party a little less, procrastinate a little less, goof-off a little less, worry about girls or my popularity a little less, and buckle down academically.

But try telling that to me at 16! I would have said "Yeah, sure, whatever."

Stupid, hard headed, stubborn, know-it-all, teenagers.

Ignore the flames. It could be depression such as what I had during my junior and senior years that led me to pretty much stop going to school for two years yet I somehow still had a 2.89 GPA. They ONLY thing that cured it for me(meds didn't work and neither did doctors) was wanting to change. I reached a point to where I was tired of being lonely, depressed and an outcast. I started doing things for ME. I know longer tried to do good for my parents or those around me. I wanted to get my life on track and I was tired of feeling that life sucked and why not just end it?

It took me time to heal and start to suck it up and get back into a normal pattern. In reality it took almost two years before I was able to make an effort towards school and my life instead of just sleeping or feeling so terribly anxious and depressed that I considered suicide many times. Anyone who says that Depression didn't exist in their day is right. It didn't. It was construed as a weakness and laziness and led to lots of people committing suicide or becoming wayward in their lives. We now know enough about our brains to realize that a certain event or a sequence of events can lead to people who were normally motivated, happy, and dependable becoming almost comatose. I don't think that medications or doctors are always the answer. In a good many people they are not needed except as a lifeline in case you do become suicidal or want to hurt others.

My advice to you is to think over your current situation and try to come up with a course of action to change things. If you are behind in school and are afraid you will fail then withdraw and take your incompletes. Then come back next semester or next year after you try to get a new outlook on things. There is no use in wasting your time or your teacher's time in trying to explain how you feel or why you can no longer produce the work that you used to. If you parent's agree you might be able to withdraw and possibly get a change of scenery. Lets say you move in with an Aunt or Uncle in another state or something like that and try to get a new perspective. Lots of times until you hit a bottom you will not be able to change but sometimes you don't have to hit that bottom and you can change on your own. You are going to need TIME because any changes you want to make is not going to happen overnight or even in a few months.

One problem you may have is procrastination and that is something that can most certainly lead you to fall behind in school or life. Once you fall behind you feel like you are always playing catchup yet you can never catchup until you kill procrastination. The only way to do that is to realize you are in a deep hole right now and you need to start over. You have to start doing what you don't want to do especially when you have to do it! Take it from me that this is not easy. Don't feel down with what people say on this board because lots of them don't want to help. They want to give you an opinion and move on.

I went from being a good student who was fairly popular and very happy to someone who didn't go to school and wouldn't get out of bed. Then I saw doctor after doctor and was on many different medications. At some point I became addicted to those medications and abused them. I withdrew from college and move to Atlanta to go through a rehab(my change of scenery). In Atlanta I still didn't improve that much but I started making an effort towards change. I finally moved back to my old State and City and slowly made changes. Sure, I slipped time to time and would become lazy or slightly depressed but after realizing what a true bottom is I had enough fear and will in me that I knew I had to change. I sit here now after completing my first week of classes at my new University. I am completely organized now and I do not procrastinate at all. I am never late to class or unprepared. I no longer miss out on family events or late to a birthday party or whatever. I have more friends than ever in my life and I am the happiest I have ever been.

Have faith that you can make it idNut! I promise if you can get out from under the burden you have and have time to slowly make changes you can accomplish what I did! I am totally changed and now I actually represent what the old me did! Actually I am ten times better and ten times happier. Have faith and realize other people understand you no matter what people say in this thread. Feel free to PM me when you feel down or need a kick in the ass. Talk to your parents about withdrawing or have a parent/teacher meeting to see if you can work out a schedule to make up prior work or discuss summer school. You have not reached a bottom yet and you don't have to. I believe that you can make a turnaround too. Don't let the hopelessness get to you.

Evan
