So mis-understood

Post Reply New Topic

Ah, I thought so.
Well I hardly got through school, my grades were terrible. I just finished my senior year before summer, and I still havn't technically graduated. But one thing is for damn sure, I aint going to school ever again, especially not college. If I didn't even successfully make it this far, what chance do I have in college?

Did you ever consider enrolling at a community college? They have open admissions and they often have programs that allow high-school age people to take classes. It's fun and looks great on your transcript if you decide to apply to a four-year university.

Maybe your depression is due to boredom and inaction. If all you do is play video-games, then there's nothing to stimulate your mind and get it working. Find a good book and a topic that interests you and pursue it. I love science, so much of my homeschooling time was spent obsessively pouring over books by Sagan and Feynman.

What makes you say reading will stimulate your mind but a game cant?
I don't get bored playing games, but I can easily get bored reading, so how am I stimulating my mind if I am bored?

I don't think there is a community college here...

Well I hate to say this, but if homeschooling has proven to be entirely unproductive in your situation, maybe you should attend public school.

The school doesn't want me back, and I get too stressed out there, and hurt people.

You could always try to study and earn you GED and completely skip school in the first place.

Do you they do GED in Australia?

I don't know if we do that whole GED thing here.

Whoops, sorry about that. Stupid stupid stupid.

RedMageIngus,

I know not how encouraging these words will be to you; probably negatively... But, I am a tad over twice your age. And never, in my entire life, have I known a human who is able to understand me, or has not presumed to understand me only to constantly mis-understand me. I've been fooled into thinking otherwise a few times in my life; but these cases always turn out to be false, some quickly, some only after years... And I know, the one thing I know and can share with you, is that feeling of being utterly alone. You are one of a kind; I am one of a kind; and in finding ourselves born into this state, the loneliness of the situation can become a great pressure that squeezes us more and more over time until we are finally crushed... Or perhaps not.

"So mis-understood..." I read the subject of this thread and thought, "There is a mantra for my life..." And I see you, another unique spirit alone in the darkness, as I am; and I cannot reach you, anymore than you can reach me. But perhaps, just perhaps... Knowing you are not alone in being alone may make you feel less alone? It would be a strange, circular thing... But just maybe it could bring an uplifting thought. And as I am alone, ever to be mis-understood... And as you are alone, ever to be mis-understood... Know that there are many more like us here, on the Wrong Planet. This then is something of a gathering place for people to be "together" with others who will always be "alone". 'Tis a strange thing to ponder, and a strange fate to have to suffer for those who might always wonder... Why? What did I do to deserve this fate? Why am I here where I do not belong? Why am I an alien among my “own kind”? There is much to be said of the absurdity of existence in this life…

In any case, I wish you well, as I sit alone and mis-understood along with you...

Good fortune,

The opposite for me. I have always thought of myself as direct and straightforward; I am not difficult to understand if you are willing to make an effort. It's everyone else that I don't understand.

the quickest way to make freinds is to go for the freaks,geeks or the outcasts

All the friends I have now were just friends of my old friends that I met through them.
So the only way I can suggest how to get friends is, have friends in the 1st grade.

I didn't have friends in first grade.

my social life consists of playing wow and chatting with the other players (well mainly listening) on our auditory chat server.

i have no friends to really speak of here.

just my two kitties.
