I need some Advise, I had a horrible Day....

[Chrislit18]

Considering yesterday, Im surprised today was so bad.

First of all, I wake up with this humungous ZIT on my damn nose, near where my eye is, and its-you guessed it-Picture day
This is just after getting a farm of em off of my forehead in the past two weeks.

Then, My friend Sarah didnt come to school until late, so I couldnt talk to her about it, and Rachellll was talking to Melyssa, who randomly came up to us, so its not like my friends could really help me about that.

After that, later in the day in gym class [yeah, I hate the class, but because of picture day we didnt have to do anything ], Me and Sarah were talking about this kid I like [yeah thats new, because I didnt even want to like anybody this year, but I met this kid at an afterschool program, I will not disclose the name as if anyone from school reads this I'd be found out.] and how he supposedly has a college girlfriend who graduated from our school last year. PSH like I can compete with that. Im just a stupid sophomore, and anyways theyve been going out since like April-Mayish. And Sarah says shes a slut anyways, but what can ya do right? And this girl who thinks shes 'little miss perfect' thinks I'm 'being negative'. umm, if the guy you liked had a girlfriend wouldnt you be upset? but wait, shes been going out with this kid since like last year, so she can shut up. The only good thing about gym class, is that the guy who was taking pictures [he was like OLD] said I had a great smile.

In AP history, we got our tests back. I have never failed a test before this one. I got a 38. then on some stupid homework sheet I usually do do, the one I DIDNT do had to be turned in, so I scribbled what I thought the Doc. was about on it, and then I basically get called out in class on it. And I got a 1/5 on that.

Thankfully nothing happened D block [except kids got new seats, and now I have nobody in front of me which sucks]

But at lunch, I of course, get kicked out of my table by this wierd kid on my bus, and I have to sit with Adam [hes been kindof friends with me since like 8th grade] and his friends, and some of them are kindof my friends too. That wasnt too bad, because we were joking around the whole time.

And on the bus, this kid Ive been friends with since he moved here, wouldnt let me sit with him, as he usually does, so I almost had to sit with this kid who never washes his hair. but luckily someone else let me sit with them. but after he got off, that kid who kicked me out of my lunch seat, came over, and smothered me on my damn seat. I had NO ROOM! and I am a big girl, not like weight-wise, I'm average there, but Im VERY tall. and have VERY long legs. And thats not right to me, cause this kid, just moved here this year. Ive been on the bus since 7th grade.


then when I get home, I tell my mom what happened, and she wouldnt let me out of a hug, cause I made her hug me. And it just sucks

And now my Friend Sarah is saying to me over myspace how this kid [and I know 2 more do too] might like her, and she bitches just cause this one kid doesnt.

I just dont get it.
I havent done anything wrong, and yet, God seems to hate me.
seriously.
And I dont think Ive ever cried this much before,
and even listening to FM on the bus didnt help.
And the thing about that kid I like just depresses the hell out of me, and the fact how I did so bad on my test, and I dont know what to say. I just need some help.

I mean even about the kid i like, whenever I like someone, something always goes wrong with it
In 7th grade that kid hated my guts
in 8th grade, well I think this kid may bat for the other team, and I dont care cause hes still my friend now, but he didnt have any interest in me
last year the guy was just a people user, and he used me for answers in French class [part of the reason Im never taking it again after this semester]
and now the kid I like has a girlfriend

I dont know, I guess my lovelife has been doomed from the start.

Being a Teenager sucks
Point Blank.

Wow. My teenager had a ****ty day this morning, too. I told her to go back to bed and try again later. That's all I can tell you at this point, too, honey. Go to bed and try again later. Being a teenager can suck sometime... I remember it well. It will be better sometime soon. I wish there was more I could say, except that we've all been in your shoes. You have my sympathy.

[LiamMcConville]

Lucky for me...I took the day off!

I'm surprised you're still having problems like this...Getting kicked out of your table for lunch, not having a seat on the bus, dramatic friends, this is all very Junior-High. This is High School, this is when we become mature, and for whatever reason I feel like you're trapped in immaturity with all this BS going on around you. Try to find some new friends, older, smarter friends.

As for AP World History, unless you want to dedicate your entire night EVERY night to studying, you're ****ed. I took that class for an entire year, and got a D in it on every report card, only to get a 2 out of 5 on the 80 dollar AP test.

Bottom line, life's a bitch. Try to make it as good as you can, and avoid all this unnecessary bull****.

Lance it!! And then STAND BACK!!

Better than the alternative, no?

[GypsySorcerer]

The good news is: there's life after high school, and it's so much better. As far as the history exam goes, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It won't ruin your entire academic career. AP classes don't get you out of that much coursework in college, anyway.

exactly what I was going to say. I wish someone had told me not to freak out about having a random C here and there. as long as you have a good academic history (good, not great) and do well on the ACT/SAT, you have no problem.

word word word. no need to freak out about high school, unless for some bizarre reason you want to go to a brand-name school. and screw that.

[AliceLover]

Just suffer through the hell hole that is High School. Believe me after being in College for a month, College is just heaven.

Okay, first of all, I just have to say this. Stand up for yourself, dude. If you let people walk all over you, they will. They aren't going to stop because they aren't going to get tired of it. So tell them where to be... which is out of your face.

If some weird new kid told me to move away from my lunch seat or from my spot on the bus... some weird new kid would be getting an ear-full of "go fk yourself, who do you think you are?" Don't let people boss you around. He's trippin', and you should demand more respect. You can do it all nice and adult like.. or you can just tell him to go eat his hamburger somewhere else, and while he's at it, choke on a cow wang.

And then, kick him out of your bus seat.

As for your love problems... I don't know the dude, but srsly... why a college girl would date a high school boy is beyond the scope of my reality. She's probably lame, which means he's probably lame, because lame people attract each other. So, move on.. there's nothing to see there. And to be honest with you... HS relationships are so not important. Neither are early college ones. The biggest lesson you can learn from this is to not go looking for someone to date. It's like arranged marriage... relationships of convenience, and even then, they're filled with high drama. The people worth getting with somehow always miraculously appear when you aren't looking and don't care. 4srs.

you just made my day

I seriously want to drop the AP class, but my mother wont let me

I just care about getting into an ok college, my family has 'high hopes' for me when Im older.

But thanks for the advise everyone. It made me feel alot better.
And my mom thinks that that college girl is lame too
We discussed this on the way to the orthodontist

I agree everyone acts like a little kid, Thats why I hate school.
Im actually kindof happy at my new table, just it bums me out how I just got kicked out of a lunch table I was sitting at since the first day of school, then the day after I was forced to share a seat, I sit with the other kids, and I 'abandoned' my table because I didnt want to sit on someones lap

[Sarah]

Gotcha.

Really... don't worry too much about getting into a good college. You sound like you make good grades as it is. Beef up your extracurriculars - school related and non-school related. It's all about how you answer the application questions! As long as your GPA is not exceptionally low, you'll get in.

Truthfully though... keep your parents' high hopes in the BACK of your mind as you decide where you want to go to school and what you want to study. College is SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. You don't want to make the mistakes that so many people do (including myself) in trying to go to or study what pleases your parents. In the end, when you've "gone your own way" down the study path of your true interest, you'll be much better off than say, those kids who have racked up tons of financial aid debt because they've switched majors and or schools so many times. Because if you get in and hate it? You'll stop going, and your grades will plummet. True story! I'm on the 15 year degree plan....

It could be worse- y'all could be FORTY and just finishing school.

But as for chrislit18 (sorry- I don't know your name)- hang in there. All the crap will move on and be replaced with new crap. As for the zit, I hope you turned your head a little, just enough to perhaps camouflage it? You're a sweet girl and reading your story makes me glad I'm not a teenager anymore.

Howz about 30 and just starting??

I'm not knocking you for complaining about one zit. I understand all too well. But, when I was your age, I had a face fulll of 'em. It was BAD. I mean, to the point where I'm scarred now. Hell, I'm 30 years old and get zits in my wrinkles.... there is no justice. My point? It could always be worse. Not that that stops any of us from complaining...
