people who expect too much from others

[vickista]

really need to get a hobby!

my english teacher has just told me that i need to write a book for her so i have about 6 weeks, meanwhile i have 2 english projects, science, maths, greek work.

and evrytime i do any work for her and hand it in, she says its worth an 'A' and she's very pleased with it, but she wants me to expand simpley because she knows i can so while every one else does 400-600 words i end up doing 1000! no joke!

and she assumes im super human or something bcoz in 6 weeks she expects to have a book that where it published would be a best seller and go down in history as one of the most influencial books ever or some shit! i can't do that!!!!:( :mad: :(

[befsquire]

i never thought i could write a paper that was 24,500 to 25,000 words, exactly, but i did.

push yourself, kid.

[vickista]

how can i do that, if i want to get good marks in all of them i have to pay them equal attention, if i put all my time an effort into english how am i going to get a's in everything its not POSSIBLE!

ahhh sooo much stress!

[jabumbo]

i usually expect very little, because that's what most people give and i don't want to be upset all the time

It's only highschool, who gives a fuck? It doesn't matter if you fail or not.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU LEARN FOR REAL OR YOU'RE SCREWED.

it does matter, it matters the most, my parents expect A's i fail them in every other way i can make up for that if i do well accademicly, that's why it matters. oh im a failure anyway, i just can't let them know that otherwise that one more way i've fucked up, if i get A's it keeps them happy and off my back.

[Pres Zount]

It's not like your parents will stop loving you. Just fail everything.

Do it.


Grade 11-12 and uni are the only ones that actualy matter.

oh yes they will, i mean absoloutely nothing to them, they have two other daughters who are better, the only reason i haven't been put up for adoption is my grades.

[Pres Zount]

Every thirteen year old thinks that.

[vickista]

Every thirteen year old thinks that.


yeah, except i actually know it. and i no i sound silly but im not joking, they can hardly afford all 3 of us, and im the one they forget even on my birthday, adotption would not be a big stretch at home all i do is sit in the corner quietly anyway, no ojnhe would even notice.

[hitmonlee]

seriously?

[Kid Presentable]

aaaahahahahahaha

[vickista]

hey dude, im better with a pen then with a key board!:mad:

thank you that does alot for me, im a failure and the one thing i've been considered 'talented' at i fail also. brilliant, scuse me while i go jump in the yarra river, its only a 5 min walk, and with any luck ill decompose before my parents find out.

[hitmonlee]

the yarra smells funny, don't jump in it (n)

i'm just a bit surprised that you are singled out from your class as the best one, when you have terrible spelling and grammar. online at least.

pres zount is right. they won't stop loving you.
sure they may be disappointed, but only because they want the best from you. all parents do. i thought my parents would disown me when i dropped out of uni, but they didn't. they are incredibly disappointed in me, and the way my life has turned out, but they still love me.

i also have a genius of an older brother to live up to. and i've failed in every way.


but if i have a baby before he does, i get to be the favourite :D

I was born a dissapointment, they where dissapointed that it took me longer than other babies to speak,

they were dissapointed on my first day of school when i made a fuss infront of the teacher, they were dissapointed that i read insrtead of playing with my sisters in my free time(i actually did want to play but they would exclude me so i took to reading books underneath my bed.)

they were dissapointed when i would come home from sports days with 3rd ribbons instead of firsts, they were were dissapointed when i wouldn't talk much around other kids because i was shy,

they were dissapointed that i was the best in my english class every year in primary school because i wasn't the best in maths,

they were dissapointed the first time i got a D (last yr.)

everything i do is dissapointing, its never enough even when i've tried my very hardest and put in 200%. they might not stop loving me but whenever i look into their eyes i see that look the peircing one that looks straight through you, into your very sole and it burns and you know you can never face them again unless you've done something to take that look away.

well when i get good marks and they looks up at me and say "well done vicki, we're very proud" for a minute that look is gone, and you feel the sense of redemption you've been searching for.

i can't miss out on that, that's what i basiclly live for to see that look and know that everything they sacrificed for me, is being repayed, slowly but surely.


p.s. i forgot to answer this bit. i am quite good in both spelling and grammar, but on the computer i get a bit lazy with typing and also it doesn't seem to matter as much. my spelling isn't the best but it's pretty good. and its more content that shes focussing on, apparently i have "great emotional depth" and shit like that.

[Kid Presentable]

I like vickista. She's good value.

[vickista]

I like vickista. She's good value.

huh? i don't get it?:confused:

[befsquire]

please don't take this the wrong way, because i am not trying to be mean at all. but it sounds like you are constantly seeking something you feel you can't get, so you are forever disappointed in yourself. if you continue thinking this way, you will never be able to be proud of yourself for what you've accomplished. yes, it's great to please your parents, but they sound like they just can't be pleased, so don't try. do your best for yourself. they will love you. and if they're disappointed now and remain disappointed, then they really won't be let down, will they?

[Helvete]

Grade 11-12 and uni are the only ones that actualy matter.
And when you finish them, you realise what a bunch of shit they were too.

that's what i did last yr when i got the D i was bustin' my balls at the start and wasn't getting anywhere, so i just stopped and said ill put in normal amount of effort and do as much as i can like that, bcoz i didnt want other subjects to suffer, i ended up with a D, which wasn't good, but i could have done worse, i was ok with it, but it killed me to show them on report day.

i spose ill just deal with it once i move out i wont have to look will i.

[befsquire]

i'm just really concerned that you are going to grow up being so overly critical of yourself that you will never be happy with anything you do.

it's the mom in me, i suppose. my son is almost 12. technically, i'm old enough to be your hot older sister.

nup, i only do this accademicly close to report time,

but I'm pretty happy with myself in every other respect though,

i appreciate your concern all the same.

[vickista]

if u wouldn't mind seeing as i mentioned it before would you like to tell me what you think of the 1st page of my book, it's not much but it's a start...

My name is Evie Taylor; I'm in my 4th year here at Edgemont high.
My closest friends are Ben Davies, Claire Henderson, Scarlet Jenkins and Alex Thomson.

We live the life we want, we do what we want, how we want, when we want. We’re rude and conceited and we make no apologies.

We don't expect to live forever; we're not quite so naive.
But this book is going to preserve us, it’s our biography, or fantasy novel, our non-fiction book, it's everything. Our hopes, our dreams, our fears and our realities.

Because no one really knows, no one really understands what its like to be like us and this will give them some idea what we went through and what our life was all about...

hints and pointers welcome

I mean I like you. I mean I get value from your presence.

There's movies that start just like that. The Hole is one, I think. And some other American shit about rich decadent kids.

[befsquire]

this doesn't really seem to fit with the rest. evie & friends are rude and conceited, so they likely don't care about letting people know what they through and what their lives were about. the above part almost sounds like they're apologizing for something when they aren't really about that. they'd more likely be writing a manual for how to be like them, or would be writing to brag or just to document shit to look back on later.

ugh. i can't really explain what's in my head.

ohh, well thank you. i like u 2 kid.

well i kinda get you, yeah i want them to look back on it how could i make it sound more like they were doing that?

[vickista]

it's meant to be about just average kids, who come from fucked up homes, and they don't give a fuck about school they're just doing anything/everything that feels good, coz it fills the void.

It should be set on the Eastern Front, 1942.

The Red Army has begun Operation Uranus, but Evie Taylor and her closest friends; Ben Davies, Claire Henderson, Scarlet Jenkins and Alex Thomson, must fight to survive.

Holed up in the science department of Edgemont high, the five un-apologetic friends must use their wits, dead classmates and whatever else they can find to fight back a last desperate push by the elite of the Gross Deutchland division.

Can they survive until Russian help arrives? What kind of help is it anyway?

What happens next? YOU decide.

Also, it is a pick-a-path book.

hahahaha, thats good(y) it shows how much of a nerd u are but still good, unfortunately, my hippie bitch face teacher needs more "emotional and spiritual" depth than that. but i think you should write it, guaranteed bestseller!

[Bob]

every good writer thinks they suck balls, don't worry about that, that's normal.

i'm not so much talking from personal experience but everything i've ever heard any author say seems to indicate that most writers are manic-depressive about their stuff. one day they'll think it's the greatest thing that's ever been written, the next they'll think it's horrible

i forget how this is supposed to help you but i just wanted to throw it out there

[zorra_chiflada]

joe is seriously a talented writer, it's crazy that he doesn't do something with it.

[Freebasser]

He should write internet-based porno stories about a lonely farmer and his German Shepherd.
