dude, normally i try to stay out of things, but wasn't this just a LITTLE uncalled for?
this guy/girl/alienbeingofunknowngender is simply trying to state to us that he may not be back.
Its not very hard to stop trolling people long enough to express just a little bit of humanity and concern for a fellow person, especially a member of our little group (regardless of whether or not you like them).

now i'm not gonna be all "OMFG :thumbsdown: :gtfo: :trollface:" but i do think that you should pick your posts a little more carefully.
Certain things that are done for the lulz are not worth it sometimes.

I know kinda what you're feeling, for the most part, as far as the loss of the computer goes.
I think things will turn out better than you expect. They did for me. But if i'm wrong, we'll see you when you get back.
Good luck. Unrelated smiley.  :nomnom:

honestly, its no excuse for people to feel sorry for you because your actions caused you to fail or whatever, thats your choice, u voluntarily chose to fail by not studying enough to do good on "essays" as you say, imho no one here has to feel sorry for you

as for a situation which means you have a mental disability or a learning disorder or something, that would be completely different because chances are you wouldnt be playing gmod, posting on forums like a normal person as you are now, but I could be wrong

but i do agree that no one should troll u on this thread

Why would you post this here... Just to make us feel sorry for you?

Ive seen so many people in my school fail, 95% of them who do either: dont give a fuck about school and skip, not do any homework, or not pay attention in class. The 5% have family problems, which I've seen, and I have sympathy for, but for the 95%, failing is a big notice for you to fix yourself.

I just don't like how people are being quick to judge, for all you know he actually does try really hard but he just doesn't understand it or something.
I'm not saying I don't agree with everyone, I'm not going to feel bad for him either, but I don't believe people should jump to conclusions so fast, even if that may well be the case. Just seems ignorant imo.
Say he actually does have a disability, or just doesn't understand what is being taught, but does try. I bet the majority of you would feel like an ass then. Despite this being the internet.

Nor do I see him stating that he has a disability to learn.

And if he could possibly have a private tutor, then why would he post here to make us feel sorry for him if he is getting help?

You make no sense.
I think you pretty much answered your own question.
If he was getting help and then he made this thread it would make even more sense, not less.
He may also jsut be telling the community why he may not be on as much. (I doubt it, but it's another possibility)
I think you're assuming that if someone gets tutored they're automatically going to pass or some stupid shit?

He also didn't give any information at all, other than that he got a bad grade. I never said he DOES have a disability, I'm suggesting the possibility.
I'm not even basing my opinion on the possibility of him having a disability, where as you are basing yours on the possibility of his lack of effort.

In either case, I really dgaf, it just annoys me how quick some are to jump to conclusions and be rude where unnecessary.

Nigga wach u' talkin' bout. How does it make sense if he was getting help, and he made this thread to only state he was failing and his parents are going to punish him. If he was getting help, his parents would know and wont be hard on the punishment like that. So thus, no reason for the thread in the first place.

Then why is the moral of the OP is to make us feel sorry for him that he can't write an essay?

If the OP actually payed attention to the tutor (if he had one), he can learn something. He made a separate post in the thread stating it was an essay he could not do. An essay. If you knew you could not pull it off in the first place before the exams, then he should have simply stayed after school, asked his teacher the thing's he does not understand and get some type of help to have him understand better.

So basically, it's the OP's fault he did not ask questions to understand what he needed help with. So if it's not the rule about the disability statement, it's his lack of effort in paying attention.

So thus, suxs2behim.

you can feel sorry or you dont have to

Please do elaborate on what I've missed before you say something stupid.

Edit: Point is, you're basically sticking up for someone who does not pay attention to the teacher and saying it's not his fault?
Yup, I'm an idiot for sure.

Lets say he DOES have a disablity and he does poorly in school. His parents wont just punish him for it knowing he has a learning disability, they would probably accept it and try to make the best out of it.

I do have to agree with sabbath on a point, the jumping to conclusion; how do you know he doesnt have family problems that are affected his grades? You dont know him in real life so you cant really make judgements. For all you know, he could be posting on the forums at his library or something and play gmod at home when he feels comfortable

i kno plenty of people with family problems and they have been able to keep really high grades in school and finish all their work, imho... it depends on how u look at things and how mature you are at the point when this go down, its all ridiculous shit and stupid to get into cuz there are so many exceptions, but we are to assume hes a normal human being with no disability because he has full and complete access to the internet , video games, and able to post normal sentences on a forum and ingame

Alrighty I was going to post here earlier but... it was like 4:00 am and my brain was like *bleh*


First of all, a tutor is not a psychologist. I believe you are referring to what would be called a therapist.

A tutor, is simply someone who has a good understanding of the subject at hand and helps someone gain a better understanding of the subject (like geometry).
A tutor would be a good option for you, since they would be willing to work at whatever pace you learn at. (especially if you are paying them)

I myself tutored someone for calculus, it wasn't my best subject at the time, but they just wanted someone they could bounce questions off of as much as they wanted (I was paid in delicious homemade cookies, it was awesome)


You very clearly created this thread in an attempt to have someone comfort you on the idea of losing your computer for a while.

I know this because you said it yourself

Quote
First of all any1 who doesn't know how to feel sorry for others NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THE THREAD


You know what, your right. Losing access to your computer will be quite lame. As it is probably a large source of fun and entertainment, as well as being your connection to your friends, both online and offline.
Having something taken away from you like that, is always lame.

But this thread isn't a hate fest. Everyone is just being... rather harsh... with their advice to you.
The point they are trying to make underneath all of the poorly worded and vulgar statements is correct.


Doing good in your classes is important.


But as you said yourself, you did rather poorly in your classes, I'm assuming an E is between D and F.

Your parents are right in the idea of taking your computer away from you, since you probably just scribbled down answers as fast as you could on your homework or just flat-out ignored it.  And instead, went to go play on the RND servers. Which is understandable as these servers are quite good if I say so myself.


But whats done is done, and now you have a few options open to you.


1. Use a linux live cd to partially circumvent your parent's punishment.

This is what I'd call a short term gain for a long term loss. Sure you still gain some access to the computer, but ultimately it wont be nearly as good as having full access to your computer. And chances are, you will do just as bad next time around so that linux live cd is what you will have to live with for much, much longer.

2. Not get access to your computer, and just mope around and send scowls at everyone who looks at you.
I think your smart enough to figure this one out for yourself.

3. Not get access to your parents, and do something useful. (like read some good books, and perhaps even do your homework!)
I know, I know. this is probably not the most fun option in the world. (though reading books is awesome) But overall, it is the least painful option.

Think about it. You start doing good in school again, your parents give you your computer back. And next time when you make a slip-up on your grade, you find out reading books you select is actually pretty fun!





Before you start writing off what I'm saying as "I'm just a big dummy who has no idea what it's like being cut off from the computer by force"

Actually, I do. Allll too well

I spent most of my childhood (it felt like to me) being grounded, which meant I couldn't use the computer, no tv (except for the discovery channel), and no friends. It sucked.'

for me it was always things like spelling tests that I did bad on. And I always was terrified of when the grades got to my mother. (She is scary when she is angry)


Even more recently. My last two semesters at college. I have done (poorly would be putting it mildly) bad... on my classes.

Two semesters ago I failed all of my classes. Except for one, Chemistry (I got a C... )

The past semester, I Failed one class, Got an NB (means they didn't have anything to grade me on) on another. Got a B in another Class and a C- in a class I was expecting to get a B to A in.

My GPA is currently at a 2.0, if I get a 1.999 or below, I will be ejected from my degree program.
The degree I am seeking is something I want to get so badly, I can practically feel it in my bones.
I need a 3.2 or higher just to get a job when I graduate.

So now,
I am at my own tipping point in my life.

I can either
A. Scowl at everyone about my bad grades and not achive one of my dreams.

or

B. Get my ass into gear.



I sure as hell wish I had my mother at college to yell at me when I'm playing video games instead of doing my homework or studying. Or to ground me when I get a bad grade on a test.

Think about it. You start doing good in school again, your parents give you your computer back. And next time when you make a slip-up on your grade, you find out reading books you select is actually pretty fun!





Before you start writing off what I'm saying as "I'm just a big dummy who has no idea what it's like being cut off from the computer by force"

Actually, I do. Allll too well

I spent most of my childhood (it felt like to me) being grounded, which meant I couldn't use the computer, no tv (except for the discovery channel), and no friends. It sucked.'

for me it was always things like spelling tests that I did bad on. And I always was terrified of when the grades got to my mother. (She is scary when she is angry)


Even more recently. My last two semesters at college. I have done (poorly would be putting it mildly) bad... on my classes.

Two semesters ago I failed all of my classes. Except for one, Chemistry (I got a C... )

The past semester, I Failed one class, Got an NB (means they didn't have anything to grade me on) on another. Got a B in another Class and a C- in a class I was expecting to get a B to A in.

My GPA is currently at a 2.0, if I get a 1.999 or below, I will be ejected from my degree program.
The degree I am seeking is something I want to get so badly, I can practically feel it in my bones.
I need a 3.2 or higher just to get a job when I graduate.

So now,
I am at my own tipping point in my life.

I can either
A. Scowl at everyone about my bad grades and not achive one of my dreams.

or

B. Get my ass into gear.



I sure as hell wish I had my mother at college to yell at me when I'm playing video games instead of doing my homework or studying. Or to ground me when I get a bad grade on a test.

I am probably one of the most un-Asian Asian you will ever meet.

I am the first person in my ENTIRE FAMILY to have been suspended from school. (Most idiotic reason of all time.)

I failed math TWICE.

I do not play the piano or violin.

I have horrible grades

I am extremely BORED of Chinese food.

I am not attracted to Asian girls. (Latinas>Whites>Asians>Blacks is my ranking of attraction)

Cheesicle suspended, reason: "a" "For saying Good Morning too many times."

I was in biology, and apparently one of the Chinese guys there was in a really shitty mood. I said good morning to him for like the 10th time and he blew up in class. Biology teacher called my up, said that "Some people just don't have a sense of humor." And let me go. Then he proceeded to send an email to administration saying "I TOLD HIM THAT HIS JOKES WERE NOT APPRECIATED IN CLASS (my ass)" So during english I was called into the office. I spent 2 hours in there, half the time sitting there waiting for them to make up their damn mind on my punishment. They really take sympathy on International students, so I got suspended for "pestering". Now that dumbass shit is on my permanent record. I won't even get a chance to explain it to colleges and Universities that I may apply to. -__________-

Second I never said i am not doing anything about it.
Third:  i am using Linux live CD after i have studied for all subjects (second shift)
Fourth: I wouldn't say a thing like that "I'm just a big dummy who has no idea what it's like being cut off from the computer by force". As i know every1 has been punished when they were my age. Plus i am not the kind of a person to troll someone on purpose just for fun/make them feel bad.
Unlike some of my schoolmates/other students in other schools or countries. And I wouldn't like to be taken as 1(I know this is unrelated i am just pointing it out)

But as you said yourself, you did rather poorly in your classes, I'm assuming an E is between D and F.

E Means completely failed in other words E = F or E could mean excellent depending on what section of the report card it was written down on which is why highschool moved to the number system to stop confusion (see below where i mention the numbers)

But I'm not sure why his school is even using the letter grades anymore as far as i know all highschools have moved on to use the number grade system -1 to 4+ (and an R for when you really fail) So that leads me to believe he has to be in a grade under grade 8 which in that case he shouldn't care that he failed considering school doesn't mean shit until grade 9

"E" stands between D and F in other words from "2" to "6" i got a "3" 1 1 more than a "fail"

Lol ok then your ranking system is completely different then mine Lol

Our goes like this now (lowest to highest)

R, -1, 1, +1, -2, 2, +2, -3, 3, +3, -4, 4, +4


R is anything below 50% which is an automatic fail.

I like to use grades and school as an analogy to a building; Without a proper, stong base, the building will collaspe. If he doesnt have a strong base in school in grade 8, his later years in school will be extremely difficult to pass and succeed.

I'll agree but my point is that school really doesn't mean anything until grade 9 all grades levels before that are not required for grade 9 grades 1 - 8 are just to hold your kids there durning the day pretty much.. thats why only parents have the option to allow their kids to pass or fail... Teachers can make recommendation if they should pass/fail but the parent has full control over it but once you hit grade 9 which is a require level of education the teacher then has control rather the student pass's or fails.

So if you're like grade 8 drop out you're considered to have no education level what so ever.
