Have you ever told your teachers about this? If so, have they actually done anything?

As for the result-of-faulty-contraception who pushed you off the bus, is there any chance that your teachers can do anything about that? I had an unfortunate run-in last year with a real nasty bitch from a local girls' secondary school, who actually fired a "screamer" (a kind of firework) at me. I told my school about it, and that was the end of that...but a part of me regrets not going to the police about it.
 
Getting bullied all day isn't something that you can just ignore.

Just get into touch with the school headmaster or someone who deals with bullying and so on. If they refuse to do anything about it, get in touch with the local paper and see if they've got reports of previous bullying complaints. Also, if the paper and the school won't play ball, there's also the government to get into touch with, the Local Education Authority. They *have* to take notice of any parent or student who goes to them and say:

"This school is not dealing with the bullying problem"

Additionally, sometimes you have to take the initiative sometimes, you may have to defend yourself or just present a more confident impression of yourself against these people, rather than being negative all the time.

In the past, I would try and deal with things myself, even if I was out of my depth. Now, I just ignore that and just ask for help or find someone who's more qualified/paid to do things for others and get them to help/work/advise me.

Being randomly banned from an LFS demo server after accidentally going wide while someone was lapping me...

Those LFS demo servers are confusing, I just downloaded it, and after finally figuring out how to use a DFGT with it, I couldn't find a single room where someone wanted to race, I got rammed, then banned for nothing, just really annoying me.

Edit:Jai, just get dropped off by mum or whoever drops you off, then as soon as they drive away, don't go in. How far do you live from school? If it's a good walk, just call that you're walking home. Or just "accidentally" wake up late, then say "Well mom looks like I'll be in with 5 minutes left, might as well not go!"

Also, I should've included that I'm 5'2" and have absolutely NO fat, and little muscle, so my weight is under what most are.

The Demo servers are usually the crash servers. The clean, proper racing can only really be found with a license for S2.

Well that sucks. Have you ever tried S1? I'd be willing to buy that, although I really want to learn how to drift since the FFB with LFS seems to actually aid more than GT5.
 
Jai
Nobody really plays S1, as I bought that before S2. There is rarely an S1 server up.

Thanks for that, I was thinking about S1 as I don't play much, but I'd like more than the demo, that would grind my gears spending $18 and not getting much more.

You have to go into school for half an hour?! That's just stupid.

It may appear stupid but schools need a certain amount of minutes in a year, and if Jai's school didnt have enough then they would have to add eventually...

The parking lot crash servers are epic. I managed to make that little hatchback into a CR-X like coupe! :lol: And made an epic suspension setup that made be bounce up and down.
 
My mom forgot to pick me up from school today, so I had to walk a mile to get home with no coat in a cold drizzle.
 
Gear grinder? No one is posting anything gear grinding. What happened to the quality posts? Paragraphs and such? Pretty much what shem had said once, these one line gear grinders are pretty... annoying.

Another one:
LFS? Oh I love that game! Years ago I would watch my step-brother play it. Though, I could not get to have the full game as the demo barely works for me. None of the computers in my house can handle that game it appears. For my laptop, everything runs smoothly, until there are more then 5 people. :banghead:

Is there a particular reason why you get bullied? And is it by a majority of kids or a few?
 
What grinds my gears is nothing to do with my life. I sit at home all day and do nothing because I don't know what to do. I'd ride my bike alone, but I don't own a jacket and it's 40-degrees every day now. I'd go play wiffleball, but nobody wants to play any sports. I'd love to play tennis, but no. It's really irritating. Also, I still haven't gotten a single Christmas gift for anyone. I'm not even sure what to get my mom. I can't learn how to drift in GT5, I think I have it through the corner, but I can't judge angle very well without the feeling of grip in the @$$ of your pants. I seem to be talking to fewer and fewer people every day, but I don't know why. My friends haven't called me to hangout since summer, we just don't talk any more, and I have no classes with them in school, so I never see them there. Normally I like being alone, to be independent, but having no friends isn't what I had in mind.
Edit-Oh yeah, and YouTube arguments. There is that video of the guy in his Bugatti cruising down the highway, when he randomly drifts out of his lane and into a lake. Jokingly, I said something like this is what happens when a rich person buys a car because its cool or something like that. It was meant to be a joke, but now that it's in the highest rated comments, I get about 5 comments back every day flipping on me saying I bet you couldn't handle or afford a 4-cylinder BMW and you're just jealous, things like that. IT'S A JOKE!
 
Even though school is over, my parents have decided that I need extra English lessons and my Nan is an ex-teacher. This doesn't fair well for me as I am likely to be working for about 7 hours tomorrow on creative writing, not one of my strong points as I can't seem to use my imagination. I would be fine working on grammar, as you can probably tell from the quality of my posts.:ouch:

Tell her you want to become an electrician, that way you don't need an imagination. :sly:

The thing is, I want to become an Air Traffic Controller which I need to pass my English GCSE with at least a C grade. And most of my family know about my aspirations as well so there is no point lying about it.

Ah, well it was worth a try.:dunce:
 
The fact that I will never get to be who I want to be.

I'll never get to be a favour rockstar. That is a dream of most kids when they are little right? Now they'd rather be pop stars I guess eh, ew. Anyways, I love drumming, but I just don't have the talent to go anywhere professionally with it. It grinds my gears so bad.

I'll always be the shy kid. I won't be one the one to make everyone laugh, I'm not the one everyone wants to talk to. I'm scared to talk to people. Maybe I don't want to be popular but I want to be friends with different types of people, not just band kids like I am right now. Not that they're bad, but I need some diversity.
I digress.

I'll never be super-interesting the way things are going right now. I'll probably grow up to live a cookie-cutter life. Go to college, but not be able find a job, work for minimum wage and struggle to get by and support a family.

I don't want to be a hypocrite, but oh I am. At least I recognize it?

I will never change the world. I won't find a cure to cancer, I won't solve people's financial troubles. I won't be able to revive Detroit, the city I love the most.

I'll never be found attractive by women, and will never find the guts to talk to them. Unless they approach me.

I'll never stop complaining.

But I guess I've got time to change it right? I'm still young, just a stupid freshman. So I have time to figure everything out.

Phew, that was actually kind of therapeutic.

Me too. I start to think something is wrong with me. I rarely get asked to hang out and I've only been asked to hang out by 2 people, excluding my cousin and the friend I've had since pre school, since this time 2 years which. That's probably not an exaggeration. People always tell me we will hang out soon, but it never happens.

Some of my friends got into drugs, and I don't really like that. So I Lind of stopped talking to them but I don't want to because they are still nice.

It's confusing. Almost can't wait until I'm too old to care about friends.

Be patient my friend. ;)

What annoys me is the 6 million threads in the GT5 forum about the new update. I know the update is happening, so does everyone, but apparently there is still a need for everyone to run around lie headless chickens all excited about getting 1 free car. :rolleyes:

Riiiight.... Hopefully it will die down soon. My 'latest posts' thing is being overwhelmed.
 
Having nothing to write about in this thread as life is mostly sweet for me now and my meds make it really hard to get wound up about the little things in life.

I guess this is the end for Shem and this thread seeing as I've no grumbling left in me for now and it's descended into mostly chat.

Bye for now.
 
Don't go! I could PM you something really offensive and you could moan about that. :dopey:
