i am too :yes:
Don't ever say anything like the above ever again in this thread.
Ever.
Seriously, what the fuck did you think this thread was for.
Stop bloody apologising.
At the time exams seem so all-important, because schools build them up like that. In the grand scheme of things they really don't matter that much, although admittedly I did do very well in my A'Levels and so can afford to not care about them too much.
You'll be fine pet. You aren't a failure evn if you don't get a single grade, the qualities of a person are worth far much more than a scratty bit of paper.
I can say this with the sure knowledge I won't have to sit exams again for a good while yet, mind.
I tend to think they aren't the be all and end but as the child of two teachers the pressure I'm getting at home is just becoming excruciating.
Thanks, I'm jsut getting so wound up over it. I'm doing everything I can to keep myself busy but every day feels like a lifetime
i really don't know what to do anymore. Is it so much to ask to get better, get my gsces, and a levels? really?
Luby - ignore the bitch. She knows nothing. Just keep telling yourself that she doesn't know what she's talking about. You've got my number if you need me
Apprehension.
I've decided that i will be pretty much ok by my 17th but i will totaly fine by my 17th...am i giving myself too much time?
My mum phoned me a little while ago and it was good to talk to her. she said i should go talk to a friend of her's to see if she can point me in the right direction of a mentor. i did read an article i found about it on here but i'm still not all to sure what it would entail.
And i suppose i'm getting a bit het up over school, it just seems a little daunting, and plus people are trying to matchmake me with people they know that are going there, not because they think i might get on with them or i have anything in common with them apart from going to the same school. Yes, it's very nice of them, but i've met this one girl, and i really want the chance to make my own friends. the one girl i've met is incredibly ditzy: she had to look on the net to see if siamese cats were joined like siamese twins are. Yes, it's lovely people are trying to help me but, let me make my own friends who are somewhat like me. Plus I'm fed up of people constantly telling me what to and not to get for school because i'll be picked on for being different. I've been bullied in every school i've been to, they will pick on me because i'm new, they'll pick on me because i don't have white stilletos and a stupid orange tan. I will wear what i want within the uniform regulations. end of. It's my life and i'll do what the fuck i like. just need to get my head in gear and get on with life.
Its nice to see you're being positive and determined, even if you dont always feel that way!!!
I wish id had the guts to be like that when i was in school.
Good luck
Unfortunatly things have taken a turn for the worst, and i've been told that if i don't start getting on with my foster sisters i'll have to leave, which means i'm likely to be placed in a independent living unit, which are horrible horrible places. It's not like i'm starting fights with her, i'm trying to avoid her at all costs and she's still having a go at me. I'm agreeing with everything she says, not taking part in family discussions, and she's still got a problem with me so it looks like i'm headed out of here....:(
got to try and hope though...
Shit happens. Stress causes it, and having to deal with other people's shit creates a lot of stress.
It's why I get worried when two severely depressed people end up with each other, my experience is that they end up feeding off each other's misery. Looking after an ill person requires the other person to well.
Hope you're OK pet.
Which, of course, is her whole objective.
It's like I said above, it sounds like its New Child Syndrome. She doesn't hate you or despise you, so please try not to take it personally. She just seems to hate the fact that there is a foster person there, probably because she isn't getting as much attention as she used to receive.
It happens. The hardest thing is to realise that it is her problem not yours. It's even harder when you have to suffer for her being a twat.
Right now, i feel very fragile, for any better word. Everything i do in the next 11 months affects what i can do in my life. Ok if i fuck up, i can go redo things, but in the mean while, i'd have to be living in a really horrible independent unit, but i could do well and still make some really bad moves. And right now i don't feel like i've got anything to make it any easier.
I really dont want this to sound like im saying things arent important , coz they are, but just that there is some light at the end of the tunnel. You get through it and you move on. Even if things dont go to plan, theres always a route to take.
You didn't do it, that took a lot of strength. Doing it doesn't make you a failure, so not doing it makes you less of one.
I haven't cut for three years, but I still get tempted. When I get down I lay in bed punching myself so hard in my head I get double vision and headaches.
Thanks, I think I needed a bit of logic.
maybe you should be honest kate.
