About problems
Subject description: I have a lot of them
So just a heads up before bothering to read this: this is not about voxeling or anything of that sort, but about me as a person more or less.
So, to the point, I've recently been having troubles with my education and my other half of my education, which was professionally ballet dancing, so I became a bit of a douche and started to skip classes because I felt uninterested in dancing, an more interested in school. However, my logical mind decided that it would be a great idea to skip school if I skipped dance. So as a result, my teachers ended up being not-so-fond of me.
So here's the problem. I am smart (in the top 10% of my grade.) and I'm having trouble, because of the fact that I can no longer go to the school, because the only reason I'm going to this really high-end school, (which is almost as flawed as a public school) is because of my dance, now, the only problem with me quitting ballet is the fact that I now want to do a form of education that won't bore me to death, so I'm getting into IB (for those of you who don't know, IB is a education program built to meet the standards of the entirety of the world) however, I need references from my teachers. And because of the amount of school I missed, my teachers are probably gonna talk shit about me. So, that's the problem. Also, just as a note, I'm 14. QUICK_EDIT

What I see:
- you realized you're smart
- you thought you don't need to learn in the school because you can still pass the courses without it
- teachers hate you because you do not respect their job (see previous point)
- and then you want references?
You're a jerk. Especially at that age. You can't do anything you want, kid, you have requirements at that age.
If you can't take your current school serious, how can you be such naive that the IB one will be taken seriously? I doubt they're so much different in terms of lectures.
Really, requirements and responsibility. You had to attend the lectures, which you didn't. If your intended IB references fail, then it's your responsibility because your decision to skip led to the outcome. Teachers like bright students, especially when those are enough honest to know what can they do and what can't. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

I'm with Graion, even though it kinda sounds a bit asshole-y but it's true. Responsibility man, that's a huge thing. No one can help you if you're not going to help yourself first. _________________

Yup, you're a jerk.
Chalk it up to experience and accept that you done fucked up. You also need to accept that the consequences now may have effects in the longer term.
You should immediately go and talk to whoever is in charge of your year, a dean or whatever, and explain your situation. They'll probably have seen your type before and might be able to suggest some ways to make up the hours and improve your standing with your teachers.
If there is a way out of the hole you've dug for yourself, the way out is going to be difficult and unpleasant. Accept that too. QUICK_EDIT
You're a jerk. Especially at that age. You can't do anything you want, kid, you have requirements at that age.
he ain't a jerk he's a 14 year old. you're a jerk tbh.
No clue if its america or his parents that are fucked up but over here if you miss school for more than a day they'll phone the parents and after a week the parents commit a crime.
good news kid what you do up to 14 is somewhat unimportant for you future. go to school and make good grades from now on then no ones gonna give a damn about your past. oh and srsly go talk to someone else with this than the internet. ya know someone who's responsible for you would be a good idea. _________________ Free Tibed!

Usual 14 yos already are aware of the actions they do. (Here, if you pass 14, you're already punishable for crimes) Tho most of them does not want to take the responsibility, only do what they want, being total careless jerks in the long run.
I met enough of those at my workplace since well... community center means "free internet without parental control, yay!"

yup, I realized I fucked up halfway through, and now I'm kinda screwed, so I'm trying to find a way to pull myself back together, because if I go to any of the public schools in my city, every university will look at me and say: "NOPE, THAT KID'S FROM THAT CITY'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS. NOPE" because where I lie is not known to be a great area of the world (education wise) for example: here kids are being taught how to read clocks in IN GRADE 4... and you also have close to no homework, which is kind of a curse that's made to look like a blessing.
So, the only possible way for me to be at all respected for my education, would be to either enter IB or do this wayyyyy easier than IB but still slightly hard thing called AP (Advanced program). Also, I'm probably gonna be off the site for a few weeks so that I can finish off school on a good note. 1 more addition: My teachers are supposed to be top of the line teachers... here's a description of what they do: math/science teacher: copies at least half of her "own made up" assignments from a text book and gives no credit to the textbook, my previous English teacher (she was so bad that they fired her, and then fired the replacement for her) she used to check how much writing there was o the paper, and then would mark it based on the amount of writing there was on the paper. somebody handed in science homework to test the theory: She gave that person a 100% with the notes "great job, lots of work"... her actual assignment was 3 pages long, everybody else's was about 8-ish... and finally, my french teacher decides to show us french movies and then tells us to write grammar tests and read books... she uses her iPad and texts people for the entire class, only looking up when someone asks a question and then says, "the answer's probably on the internet, don't you have a phone?" and if they don't she complains about it for a minute before helping them... she's also racist towards Asian people... and I'm half Asian... (she actually made racist jokes about Asians several times while I was there, everybody just kinda laughed awkwardly, looked at me, and then shrugged it off.)
So, as you can see, my teachers did not help with my situation...
Well, I'll see how long I can actually hold myself from coming back on to PPM, but for now, bye. (let's hope my suicidal thoughts don't take effect)
EDIT: This no attempt to brag, but I was doing algebra at home in grade 4, because I had an additional Japanese program I was doing at home QUICK_EDIT
Really, requirements and responsibility. You had to attend the lectures, which you didn't. If your intended IB references fail, then it's your responsibility because your decision to skip led to the outcome. Teachers like bright students, especially when those are enough honest to know what can they do and what can't.
here, let me explain my actions first, I did not skip the entire year, I attended the majority of my dance classes, (performed in 2 company productions, and got praise for it) and the majority of my school classes I went to as well. in fact, I attended school more often than my ballet classes... so, my teachers still liked me and respected me as a student, but as a person they didn't exactly like me. I'm the kind of person that is kind of a grammar nazi, and also likes to correct teachers on their mistakes, because as it turns out, a lot of teachers have no idea what they're doing. So, that was the true main reason I'm worried about my references, I'm worried that they'll try to strike some sort of revenge on me because of their personal dislike for me...
EDIT: when I said I started to skip classes, I meant that I would skip about once a week. And guess what I did while skipping. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I literally stared at a wall, wondering how stupid of an idea I was putting into action. At the moment I'm pretty certain it's my mom's fault. she pestered me and called me an idiot every time I messed up, she kicked me out of the house twice because I was too tired to do anything. (ballet requires strength training, and that is a hell of a work out(aprox. 400 ab reps, 200-250 arm base reps, 300-ish miscellaneous reps)) So in other words, my mind took a toll from that and I started evaluate my life as more pointless... my mind began to have suicidal thoughts, and the only thing that could take me away from those thoughts was youtube, books, and RA2/YR which I discovered through my mom's boyfriend, which was a gateway to red-resurrection, mental omega, and all that other stuff, and then I figured out that it was easily moddable. So that is a reason that you may not have known about.
My Dad is also the only person I truly trust QUICK_EDIT
oh and srsly go talk to someone else with this than the internet. ya know someone who's responsible for you would be a good idea.
For some reason I feel more comfortable talking to complete strangers, and that's why I want to see a counselor but they're expensive as hell.(115$ an hour? I think.) QUICK_EDIT
Education is not everything, by a long shot. You should always be interested in learning but if the education system is not working for you then telling people that can only help. What you don't want to do is stay in a shitty school situation and only lose interest further, that will more than likely damage your grades anyway and you'll suffer.
I used to love school when I was 10 or so, but only because it allowed me to see friends there. The education itself was not interesting at all. At 12 and onwards things just got shitter, as I had fewer and fewer friends and wasn't interested in school at all. By the end of it it was just total depression and no idea what to do. Still I'm not out of it. Really no one can help you achieve anything but yourself, education systems don't work or guarantee anything. Don't settle for a steady job that isn't interesting if you have a better idea.
Schools tell you two lies. 1) that education guarantees you a good life. 2) even if you don't do well in education you'll still be OK. The truth is neither, IMO. Ambitious people always achieve what they want regardless of their education. If you have an idea of what you really want to do, be it a job, a hobby, a better method of education, then do it.
Just talk to someone you trust about it. Try explain yourself, hopefully they'll be compassionate and understand. QUICK_EDIT

Strangers won't gonna help in this case because they don't see it as a whole. Get your friends. Really. Your best ones. They can help you as well.
I bring you an example. Something which I know too well and never will gonna forget it in my life... because it's me. I have deep issues with my self-esteem, so much that during 2010, I almost managed to do a suicide run. I knew that my then-best friend wouldn't even care about what I'll do. But there was a guy whom I could tell everything, because he lived too far to stop me. We knew each other for ca. 2 years back then, and he just got out from his personal crisis where I was one of his best support to get through on it, so he decided to keep me on the phone and get out contact info of people who not just would want to stop my suicide run, but also meet me regularly to physically stop me.... and he did get one of other friend's phone number out. Why I told it, I still don't know, I was somewhere between madness, depression and insanity.
But that other friend jumped into action, without knowing what the hell was going, he quickly realized there is something big trouble if a guy who he met like twice calls him about it... and on March 21th, 2010, after a long walk in the Danube, bursting into a cry and such, I regain my will to live. It was a nice warm Sunday to be honest.
And even since then, I deal with my issues not alone but usually talk about it with my close friends whom I trust in to find the solution. And honestly... if I could turn back time, I wouldn't change that day and that story, because without it, I would never even stood up for myself, like ever. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Well, thanks for your ummm.... I guess you could call it support? I have my IB test tomorrow, so if I do well I might be able to get in... probably gonna get my junior high teachers from grade 8 to do my referrals, because I had a much better record back then... (I think) until then, I guess wish me luck? QUICK_EDIT
First of all, don't listen to anything OrangeNero says as he is most likely the most immature one on here currently. (I don't care if you say I'm attacking you, because it's true)
If there's any advice I can give, it would be that graduating with ease from a no-name school is alot better for your future than being held back. Plenty of people go to Harvard-like schools and end up not getting jobs because a school-name alone may get you a job, but it won't get you the job you WANT. And like OmegaBolt said, ambitious people will strive to get what they want, regardless of what school you went to.
Also like everyone else says, talk to someone you can physically see, friends, family, someone that can actually do something to help. As much advice as we can give, we're all most likely too far away to help, nor should you tell any of us where you live
It's a well-known fact that teachers either take stuff from textbooks or are the ones writing the stuff for textbooks. Teachers don't know/can't remember everything, textbooks help to teach without missing things. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

its not teachers job to invent their ways of teaching material
books/textbooks are their "manual"
teachers have to follow their yearly program, that is their job
and it is goverment (ministry) that orders which program to follow
teacher has to obey it, and has to "transfer" their knowledge to student
but in which way, that is not carved in stone
many use e-books, text books as guide and/or manual
so you can't complain there
on college its even worse, nobody gives rats ass about you there
if you managed to understand or not
its up to you to pick up a book and learn _________________

gistop, if I am understanding you correctly, then I don't know why these other people are being harsh to you. Not liking ballet because you want to concentrate on intellectual things is a good thing that should be encouraged. We need much more intellectuals in the world. It's strange because I would expect guys to be more interested in ballet because it makes their body really fit, and allows them to be near to and really touch lots of really fit girls. I think you should be applauded.
By the way, daTS, what you said can be considered trolling and cyber-bullying and can really hurt emotionally because some people can interpret it as serious; not realising that you are just joking and teasing. QUICK_EDIT

You won't get any sympathy from me, gistop. It doesn't matter if you disagree with some of the things your teachers do.
It doesn't matter if you did one or two things that make you feel smarter than your peers.
The fact is, you have made yourself arrogant and unteachable.
Your job is to shut up and color. It doesn't matter how smart you are, you get your sh*t done, take it seriously, and stop complaining.
And I mean this with the utmost honesty.
TBH I wish someone told me all this when I was 14, because I was very similar. The world won't care what grade you learned algebra. It cares if you can follow directions and do your job _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

lol, it's ok man, you're gunna be ok! Are you a girl or a guy, gitstop?
Well basically, you fought the law and it roundhoused kicked your ass. Yeah, unless you got family inheritance, you'll have to work your way up to the top in order to get moolah moolah $$$.
Now, since school isn't your forte, how about drugs? Or guns? Or escort services? Your gunna need connections though. Ask around, get acquainted with those people. The younger the better since cops can't charge you, we can always use a mule. As for escort, well, you gotta be knock-out gorgeous, and know how to dance, to wiggle it. AAAAAAND since you mentioned ballet....
Just kidding buddy. Or am I..... Dealing weed on the side is great pocket change, and very low risk. Plus you get to smoke weed. It's win win muthafuckah!
You know what a cool job is? My job: Superintendant. Basically all you do is collect money and mingle with your people! I am their savior, allowing them to live in a premium spot, and I check em all, to make sure that they can pay up, and that they are cool enough to hang out with! They need something I got something. I feel the pain of my people, I fix that pain, and we all gain trust. I got 24 units and they all beautifully redone. Now we got cameras set up in the halls, and I have moved in excellent tenants, all students, all working, all co signed, all direct deposit or post dated checks, 1 year lease agreements - guaranteed money! You can even have pets! But you better FUCKEN pick up that dog shit, or I swear to god, yer out!
Anyways, just remember this the next time you're in a shitty fucken gay ass school:
THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE THERE IS TO ONE DAY MAKE MONEY. IT IS NOT FUN, IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, AND IT IS MADE TO GET YOU READY FOR EVEN LESS FUN - WORK
School is the bane of our existence. It ain't an education system, it's an indoctrination system, one that the whole fucken world bends over for in one way or another. It's sickening, but quite genius. I gotta give the big 13 families that owns the world credit. Fucken brilliant take over, I'm too lazy for that shit. I mean these guys set up a fool proof system that takes in the newly born children away from the family unit (you're in school every fucken day, your in school waaaaay more than your out) and completely sets them up as slaves for hire.

ztype those guys, but holy CRAP what a good job they did. Basically no one can even imagine a different setup than the one we have now... well, the clock's ticking - get back to work fool! hehehe, you got alot of fucken homework to do as well, so get those pencils pushing, have fun spending a ridiculous amount of time earning a GAWD DAYUM PIECE OF PAPER.
And I'm sorry for your loss. You must have some kind of family connection though right? Some kind of job your parents or others can give yah a chance at? I started work at a construction yard, no paper work good exercise and money. But this new building manager job is wicked. WHY DO YOU THINK I HAVE SO MUCH ztyping FREE TIME ON MY HANDS? AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAA.
*sigh* I wanna bring everyone up to my level, but thats not gunna happen. Too many whiney ponies... XD

well....personally, what dats said and everything related about school and...well you can simplify all the advice here and say something like "try to balance it, when you grow up you'll learn when it's too much and you cross the border to be annoying".
about your teachers, you'll often in your life meet people you can't satisfy, be it either that you're a jackass, or they're jackasses, here too: balance is everything. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT

You want the topic to be locked because you are unable to handle the truth, is that it? _________________
No, I just believe that at some point or another, somebody's gonna get mad and kind of rage and screw everything up. As for learnt stuff, I have talked to friends, reasoned with my teachers, and got in the top 25% out of everybody that did the IB test, allowing me to enter, (most likely, under the assumption 60 people haven't entered already),That life is hard and there is no way to get around that, and I have also learned that I probably shouldn't be jerk and bail out of things without any notice. But all in all, I just don't want to see a fight breakout and have it be my fault. QUICK_EDIT

touche.
Though I like my job. I just gotta rent out one more unit then I got a full house going with everyone paying their rent and not breaking things, plus good looking girls that live there too! Soon, since everything is going so smoothly this year, plus with my own security camera system set up (16 of them, I got moniters in my apartment. XD. And yet I've never even caught anyone shooting up in the hallways or anything since the new tenants moved in and we got a new electronic door... no more bums in the hallway either), I might not have to lift a finger.
Then I'll probably go back into construction while still maintaining my superintendant job
Superintendant= free rent and electricity, plus grocery/booze/drugs money.
Construction= way more money on top of superintendant, could possibly get a new car, get my legal fines paid (crashed my old one, almost killed a cop... oops), and have lots of spending money for bars, clubs etc.
The wheels are in motion.
- - -
What I meant with the big ass text was - to a kid, it is not fun having to do anything other than playing. Unless you're like, really well trained even before school. Maybe you got whipped while you where younger or something. Or maybe just, you actually find a purpose in the whole indoctrination slave system? Maybe national pride or something?
I personally don't give a shit. As long as I got a couple drinks I'm alright.
