Hmm

(10th grade)

1) C in English (Should be an 88% B+, but missing 20 points because teacher is stupid and said I plagerized (how do you spell that?) on this one vocabulary paper...)
2) B in Algebra
3) - Study Hall
4) A in Computer Programming (C++)
5) - Lunch
6) A in PE (How can you not get an A?)
7) D in Spanish (...)
8) D in Chemistry (Should be a C but my teacher's a dumb bitch who likes to pick on me)

As far as 1-7th grade, straight A's

[/quote]

You could be me, I have a C. Although, I received either an A or a high B on all of the tests/quizzes. But, my teacher got a job at the college and when he left I had a D becuase I was absent or something and missed physical fitness testing; thus, getting 4 0's. And then somehow the grade stayed on the next progress report (even though I missed no time and got no bad grades) then he left for his new job prior to us getting that progress report so it could never be changed. I've had to work my way back up. :(

My grades (I'm horribly sucking this year...worst ever, I'm used to all A's except for math):

(Where I live E is an F)

Algebra II: E
Biology: B
PE: C
Auto-CAD: A
English: C
Government: D
French II: E

Well, that was last grading period, as of now I beleive I have all A's except for French.

Go me, I have the whole grading scale. :(
The only thing that is keeping me from being completely miserable about my grades is my PSAT score, I scored 140 points higher than the expected score of an IB student for my grade. ;D

It actually worked out almost exactly like this:
CS courses: A or A+
Other sciences/math (calculus, physics, etc) B+
Philosophy: B

Yeah, the test isn't worth much. Our finals are worth an average of 60%, our midterms are usually 20, and 4 assignments worth 5% each. So assignments are basically worth nothing.



When I had phys-ed in highschool, we got marked half on Health Class, which was just memorization (bones, muscles, and boring stuff) and half on gym, and participation and stuff (boo). I would usually get 100% in health, and 50% in gym, giving me a nice average 75%

Same with here; I just couldn't be bothered to participate. In games we played for fun, like archery, badminton, and I'm sure some others that don't come to mind, I liked it. But I've never been a fan of competitive games (eg. basketball, floor hockey, etc.).

I suppose I'm usually the same way with computer games; I prefer to play against bots or play co-op missions more than playing against people. Even in racing games, I will do my best to help out any humans I'm playing with.

I suppose that's the reason I never really did good in gym.. I just didn't like most of the stuff we did.

Teacher yells at me because I get to competative. Such as during floor hockey, I think some words slipped out just a bit too much, and the senior leader of my class said something to me just a few times ;)... Along with, the teacher telling me that I was being too rough and had to sit out - But hey, someone had to do something since the girls on defence weren't doing anything... As of today, we just started swimming and I took two showers (one at school, one at home), and still smell like chlorine :-\

Most grades in P.E are on participation.

Otherwise, P.E grades would be wayyyyyy worse. At least it would be for my school. =P

And I'm like User, I get way too competitive.

If my teammates are screwing up I let loose a string of phrases and the teacher doesn't like that -_-.

Or I get physical and slam into people on accident since I'm so intent on getting the ball or flag of whatever. >_<

Agreed.

In highschool, at least here, people weren't TOO different, and nobody made fun of anybody else, but, that being said, some people were "popular" and some weren't. I never could figure out how it worked, I guess I'm lacking in the social department.

Now that I'm in university, it doesn't really turn out like that. Instead of social cliques, people in different subjects tend to gravitate together; most CS people tend to hang out, engineering have their building, Math and CS and Physics each have a floor and a common area where everybody tends to keep to themselves.

But these differences are more for convenience than anything else. Everybody in University interact fairly well, not like highschool :)

What I usually do is run around in a way that seems like it's after the ball, but in reality my strategy is to avoid it. I can usually get away with 20, sometimes 30 minutes of never touching the ball, and nobody seems to notice.

Back to the subject of Goths, because I have a revelation last night:

Dressing/acting the way they do is a choice. They don't wake up one morning wearing black clothes and facepaint and are stuck with it the rest of their lives. And they don't do it because they think it will make them popular. They do it to stand out and look weird, so they really oughtn't be surprised when they get picked on. It seems to me that they WANT to get picked on!


I just wanted to use the word oughtn't :(

Just because someone is different, doesn't mean they should get made fun of.

I enjoy standing out and having people notice me rather than being another peon, just my personal opinion. :P

But if somebody is different in such a way that they should know they will get made fun of, and they do it anyway, then that's their problem. If people can't be bothered to use punctuation here, they get made fun of. It's a choice and a consequence; perhaps some people accept it, but others don't.

So what you're saying is that we should do everything we can to be accepted by the general population? In that case, everyone on this forum should start typing liek most ppl on teh intarnet do. If your goal in life is to be part of the flock in order to avoid confrontation you need to question why you're even living.

You shouldn't do everything that everybody else does, BUT you also shouldn't do things to alienate yourself unless you WANT to be alienated. It's lot like somebody dresses in black/wairs the makeup/etc. thinking that everybody will treat them the same.

In the same sense, if I go kill somebody, or injure somebody, then brag about it, I KNOW people will treat me differently. If I want to be treated differently like that, then I will go and do it.

I agree with iago. If Goth's know they're going to be picked on for dressing freakishly weird then why do they do it? What gets me is that they go and complain about being picked on, yet had they not done something that they know will make them a target to be picked on then it wouldn't of happened.

I assume AP Geometry is not a Collegeboard class nor is AP Biology 2? Unless maybe on that bio class you split the AP bio course into two semesters for some weird reason?

I know quite a few "punk" kids around here and its funny how so many of them are all about being different and shit and try so hard to get their uniforms just right.
ANd kinda on that note they have a store here called hot topic I'm sure a few of you know what it is because I think it's a national chain. Anyway, they have spray on crust in a can so you can make yourself look dirty and homeless. Because anyone who knows punk rock knows its cool to be dirty and homeless.

I don't think it's cool to be dirty or homeless. It's just a thing for me, I'm barely at home (on weekends). I shower when I can. I'm usually sleeping over at friends house's or sleep outside.

Yeah thats what I was saying...
But I am dirty most the time, when you are homeless you tend to be dirty becasue you have no shower to take. I didn't have anywhere to live when between the ages of 16-18 because I decided not to live with either of my parents anymore and i lived in a place where i didn't know any people. And after not taking showers for months at a time you get used to being dirty I take showers about 3-4 times a week prolly.
Oh well, no trying to be something your not isn't cool.

During vacations, I was highly obsessed with Warcraft III, on the verge of joining team intel, I once played for 5 days (atleast 12 hours a day) and didn't shower at all. But on friday/saturday, the parties came and I was forced to shower.
