Confession coming right ahead here and I am not proud of it at all...

I have cheated, in an exam, not just any exam, but a high level maths exam (I am so good at maths that I find it ridiculous I even cheated) that was my final test for the year for maths.

I needed to remember a few formulas, one of which was the famous Quadratic Formula. I had the rest all sorted so I wrote the Quad Forumla down on a little piece of paper which would later be used for cheating. I placed it between my legs on my chair as my friend suggested and well, it worked for me until I did something so stupid that I am just pissed off at myself.

I left the bloody piece of paper just sitting there on the chair as I walked out, now apparently this teacher I had found it and automatically assumed I was cheating. She is my home/form/ morning room teacher so I cant avoid her tomorrow. I am ashamed at myself for this as I know I am excellent at maths but I have come up with an excuse. You are the first people I am telling this too and will be the last other than the teacher herself.

It goes a bit like this:

Sorry Miss for this misunderstanding, but I was NOT cheating in your exam. I do well enough at maths as it is without needing to cheat (sucking up to her). (She had let me read a book from my iBooks app on my iPod when I completed the exam and handed it in, just to help you understand this bit). I had the piece of paper in my iPod Miss, so that I would look at it and try to memorise it everytime I opened my iPods case, which is fairly often. It ended up on my chair after I left as I had put it between my legs while reading my book on my iPod. When the bell went, I packed up my stuff and left, forgetting I had left my revision paper on my seat. I can see why it looks like it does but I can assure you that I would not cheat on an exam. Honestly, what cheater would be stupid enough to leave the piece of paper there after they have cheated, you for one know, I am not that stupid.

End of excuse.
I hope it works, I desperately do as she knows I am a good student and most people would believe it as I never do cheat. Just why the hell did I do it, god damnit..

So, eh, when you are talking with a girl and she's smiling at you as if she is waiting for something, does that mean it may be appropriate to ask her if she has "any plans" during the week?.... I found the issue to be the worst with the women. I don't know whether it's a "Dude, do something about that!" or the opposite. Maybe it's just me being so insecure that I unconsciously pay more attention to it or imagine it. But sometimes it's creeping the hell out of me.

Just stay true to yourself, talk normally to a girl with a normal opening line, even a normal hello, is better than nothing, and in my experience a little hello there is working fine. Need no more to start of.

And being a little anxious is normal.
Anes advice is also working, just don't come over as drunk because that will backfire (most of the time, if she's drunk too, no problem there).

We've all been cheating at some point, and most of the time it's useless because what we write on the cheatpaper actually is very well memorized most of the time.

also the leaving the paper there, you not the first, I saw it many times. Just proves the fact that you don't do it that often, and not being a professional cheater ;)

Also, in most countries, the teacher needs to prove that you cheated. Meaning she needss to catch you while cheating or prove that you wrote the same BS as on the cheat paper.

I hope you get away with it this time ;)
Good luck tomorrow

Yeah, cheers, I just hope what I did write on the cheap paper wasn't BS as it would be blatantly obvious I copied if it was...
 
I meant, that if it would be definitions or something copied 1:1, you could see that you copied. But as you wrote down formulas you can't really compare it.

I have a pretty cool teacher over here who says "If you manage to cheat during tests without me finding out, congratulations". Too bad it's my last year.

I'm not taking Anes' side with this, but how is this quote wrong? Depression isn't a physical condition, so it has to all be in your head, right?.
Click to expand...

It's all in your head. That is correct. Your head is a physical part of your body. Inside that head is your brain, a physical part of your body. The chemistry inside of your brain plays a large part (note I don't say the only part) in depression and a medical thought and treatment of it. A medical diagnosis of depression is often equated to a diagnosis of acute anxiety and that is a condition which originating in the brain manifests itself physically pretty dramatically. Depression has similar manifestations that aren't necessarily as stark. These conditions are often treated with the same medications. These physical manifestations exist because your brain is, again, a physical thing linked to the rest of your body. Depression doesn't exist exclusively in your immaterial mind/soul, if you even believe in such a thing. Such a thing isn't required to fully explain depression, which as I am doing right now can be explained in wholly physical terms. The treatments offered by the medical community are often little pills that affect your brain chemistry in an effort to fix it.

You and Anes know your brain is a physical thing, right? Because the only other option you have is something like Cartesian mind rays. Good luck with that... and if depression hasn't been around for 100 years (to quote Annes) how'd Edgar Allan Poe write "Fall of the House of Usher"? Hundreds of other pieces of evidence await if that's inadmissible for some reason.

I don't want to sound like Mr. Uptighty here, but if I were in your position (which I am not), I would've just admitted it. Honestly, the worst that could happen is what, spend some time after school doing the retest? I suppose I'm just one of those people who doesn't believe in cheating, but then again, it is not my call.

Other than that, no confession for today.

And further disappoint myself, my teacher and ESPECIALLY my parents. I will NOT do it to my parents, no way, my Dad knows I am successful and will be successful later in my life as well, If I tell him I may as well kill myself. The last thing I would do to my Dad is tell him I have done something like this, it would break him...

So you cheated on a test you knew the material for and now can't tell anybody. So don't tell anybody! It's just a test, the important thing is you know the material. The test itself isn't important in the long run / your real life. If you'd gotten caught we'd have a different kettle of fish but as it is just forget about it and move on. And don't do it again because you obviously have trouble with the 'guilt'. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Would you have learned this about yourself if you hadn't cheated? And you know the material anyway... so maybe this was the best thing that could've happened.

I seem to have left out the part where she finds the piece of paper after I leave the room :ouch:.

Understandable. I know it's tough to be pushed like that, and while I can say what I say, you do what you do, and what I say probably shouldn't matter.
 
I've started to be affected by a new mental weakness that I didnt have before. I'm in a relationship. So at work I will send a text or something and if I get no reply for 4 hours because she is at school that's understandable. But during that time I'll start to worry it's because she doesn't like me anymore, or something bad happened, or I'm just getting annoying. (well aware this will become true if I continue) I'm paranoid and it's taking me to really dark places and I can't snap out of it. It's not just with my gf though, it's with a couple of friends the same kind of thing happens.

Example is today I last heard from her at about midday (6pm now) no reply or anything and I'm in a dark place. She's given no signs of being tired with me or the like and we are generally very happy together. I'm generally quite mentally strong so for this to appear, it has me stumped. I'm depressed because of it, as well as completely exhausted from work.

I don't know why this is affecting me. I hate it.
 
You been together long?

This is a different girl to the last one, isn't it? That might explain the insecurity, if so.

For the sake of your relationship, I'd try to block it out. This happens to everybody, and you know if you send another message, you could do some damage. My last ex. couldn't grasp that I worked or didn't text while driving, so no text back for an hour meant that she mustn't be important enough; in short, she was clingy with texts.

It annoyed the hell out of me, and I'm sure you know it'll annoy her too if you start to make an issue out of it.

Sounds a lot like my ex, except for the fact she'd call me up right after I replied her text message saying "Why the hell didn't you write -Love you too- at the end? Don't you love me any more?"

At the end I got so fed up with her constant daily nagging of "Don't you love me any more?" I just broke up, and I know what I've posted here not too long ago about her, but I feel happy that I broke up with her.

I think for me it was an issue of faith and/ or trust. Why the hell would she ask me all day long if I still loved her? Either she was obsessed with hearing me saying it, or she just didn't have any faith in our relationship. I just had the feeling she never trusted me. When we were walking together in a hallway and some girl I knew would pass and I would say hello, because, that's what polite people do, she would be pissed off at me the entire day. No parties for me either, and when I said I wanted a beer I couldn't have that either. Because, apparently that's what perfect boyfriends don't drink.

Madness!

Bah, I'm getting all irritated again just by writing this. Enough of this nonsense!
 
Hello guys thanks for the concern. It's a different girl than before. I was in a long distance relationship but that ended in March. My new girlfriend lives just around the corner. Last night she came home and gave me a few paragraphs about how she's here for me in the long term and I shouldn't worry etc. It was very nice and today even though the communication level was the same, I had no problems. I performed much better at work too. 👍
 
I was in a long distance relationship for at least 6 years ( the majority of the time I was on GTP)
 
Been a while, I do have a lot to say, but I'll save that for when I have a lot more time and need it. For now I have more of a light embarrassing confession.

I discovered that I really like Only girl in the world by Rihanna. I love the background music and I don't think her voice does all that bad a job of adding to it. That and Evacuate the dance floor by Cascada. I don't know why but since the spring I've slowly started listening to more mainstream stuff and some rap, I feel like I've let my good music down :lol:
 
You're worse than I thought.:nervous:

It could be worse, you could be listening to Taylor Swift and constantly using her as your avatar.:sly::lol:
 
Rihanna isn't that bad, the song she did with eminem on his most recent album is brilliant.

 
I want you to make me feel as if I'm the only girl in the world.


On that note, it's an infectious song and I've been (regretfully) listening to it all afternoon...

I hate "Love the Way you Lie'

Cause if someone's lying to me I'm going to smack them upside the head. :mad:

I'm interested, how do you "smack them upside the head"? That phrase doesn't seem to make any sense to me, when you just look at the words itself....So I assume you mean a slap on the top of the head? Or an uppercut to the jaw?

No kidding.

I've been there, this song hits home so hard for me. Especially the line "she ****ing hates me and I love it." I've been in that argument looking for exactly that sometimes. Its messed up but it happens. Anybody who's been in a seriously dysfunctional relationship will definitely understand the song.

In addition, Eminem's newest album, Recovery is his best of his entire career. That's a lot coming from somebody who considers Eminem to be the best rapper alive.

Ok here it goes.

I'm a uni student. Have been for 3 months. But I ain't happy.

I attend a rather small university, around 3000 students or so, so news within travels fast and I'm the kind of guy who likes to keep himself relatively to himself to avoid anything major. I'm not being arrogant but I have a decent size group of mates and a rather large group of acquaintances. I'm not picked on, I'm rather self confident and I dont let much bother me.

My course is fantastic. I love what I do and I know its leading me onto a course I can do and go far in.

But I'm not happy.

I'm currently single. It's been a long while since I last had a 'relationship' but I'm no shy away. I've done everything someone my age, 18, is expected of and all that jazz, I'm not raw in 'life experience' for my age so feeling left out isnt an excuse. Been there got the t-shirt ect ect

I had a chat with a friend the other night and i used the old 'Maybe its because I'm single' excuse.

Like I said, its been a while since I've had a 'relationship' but ive always had a relatively close nip group of mates, or at least a One or two tight nip friends. But at university, its different. I've adapted to my new world well. I've drank lots, got on with lots of people, sorted my life out, but I lack that something that I like, consistency.

I like being single. I do, but like everyone I guess sometimes its nice to have a pillar to lean on so to speak. Uni isn't a place Ive found that you can gain 'friends for life' or even 'girlfriends'. Both are simple 'We get on and do what we do at Uni, but we have our other, 'old' lives too'. I feel like were all makeshift lovers, friends and acquaintances.

'Have you heard from Sarah?'
'Nah, she's gone home for the weekend'
'Oh.'

I feel like I'm the only one wanting to actually get on with these people, trust them and even care about them. I'm not a one night stand guy, I'm not a 'I'll get what I need from them and get out asap' type of guy. But it's all so different. I don't get what I can do really.

So far ive just sucked it up and got on doing what students do and becoming a part of this part-time world.

Anyone want to offer some advice? Much appreciated.
 
I can see where you're coming from, since I had similar experiences when I was in college. I had a close and numerous group of friends, but it took me a really long time to get into 'something' with a girl. I was fortunate enough that I was a foreigner in my college in the US and out of 5,000 or so students, international students were only about 45 and out of that group, my 'group' was about 20 people. Being perfectly fluent in English I had some sort of seniority and most internationals came to me to sort their stuff out. Not meaning to brag, but in the 3 years I spent in college (I graduated early because I'm so smart... or something) I had sex with many girls, but not one was American. Neither did I have a girlfriend per se.

Okay, enough bragging. My point is that college is probably a point where most people's minds are set to have fun and not commit to anything. I think the longest relationship I saw one of my mates have (and I did have American friends) was 4 months and my longest relationship then was maybe 2 months. The college years are made up of a lot of partying, a lot of drinking and going out in groups and some studying. I did see a few long-term relationships, but it was mostly pretty retracted couples who pretty much didn't relate to anyone else.

My best advice is to focus on what you're doing and enjoy it while it lasts. Though it may sound cliché, in a few years you'll be missing these times. During college we all go through solitary phases (I once spent an entire year without 'being' with someone) and moments in which we're worried about ourselves. Having a tight group of friends helps. Being part of a group (or a team, or come sort of club) helps a lot too.
