having a really hard time.

[Simba]

I absolutely HATE it when teachers do that. they CANNOT see the future, so they shouldn't tell people that if they don't one thing right, then they'll be the same with the rest and fail. it seriously pisses me off, especially when they claim that because of one mistake you're going to fail everything and not get anywhere in life. it's so freakin stupid, especially since I know people who haven't went to college and/or have dropped out of high school who have great lives. which makes it double stupid since even if that did happen, that doesn't make you a failure. you don't fail until you stop trying

and I know how it is with forgetting stuff. a teacher lost my work once and tried to use the fact that I forgot something once to say that she didn't lose my work. so I didn't have a great report card, neither did the other top student who forgot a thing or 2. it happens to the best of us, and not everyone has a good memory. that's not really something you can help sometimes.

our teachers always say we need to stop taking things so personal and "wearing our emotions on our sleeves" too. just don't let what others say get to you so much. I personally would've just went off and screamed on him after 2 stressful days and his insensitive remark.

do feel better! *hugs*

I feel so bad for you! Don't listen to some teachers, you know your own emotions and your the one that knows yourself best.
Remember that sadness is a human emotion too! Don't just keep in your feelings inside yourself, it will only make you feel worse. And as
for the bus thing, it's a common mistake! It's okay if you miss school on accident. Make sure that you clearly told your teachers and principal that it was an accident.

I hope you feel better and I hope your days get better!

OMG! I'm so so so so sorry! *another big hug* Are teachers allowed to do that- call you names I mean? Like 'flunker' I dunno what one is, but it doesn't sound pleasent. Geez, some schools... telling you to toughen up >=[ I cry at what happens on TV, and I'm only a year younger than ya! Some teachers really are dumb.
Stupid teachers, stupid buses... stupid school!
I think you should just ignore what everyone's saying, because it probably won't be true! I hope things get better Crystal!

If you wanna improve your memory, get regular amounts of sleep, and eat more seafood, its very good for brain development.

Also, develop a hobby or habit that taxes your mind and really makes you think I have Visual Basic and music for that, among other things..
