If you don’t want anything depressing, DON’T READ THIS

“ur not cut out for it” “u think that a for effort crap is real? Effort without results is still failure” “ur an embarrassing writer and in that math class” “ur pretty much at the bottom of the barrel in English/history so u have no reason to be there. U don’t belong there” “Its kinda sad… honestly. Cos u do try” “only 6+ are acceptable” “only smart people get into bioscience” Well geez I’m sorry for being in intermediate algebra, I’m sorry you don’t like the way I write, I’m sorry it’s too simple for you; actually, I'M NOT SORRY. It’s my fault I didn’t try in algebra 2 and had to go to intermediate, it’s my fault I didn’t try in Chem, I just wanted to pass so I wouldn’t have to retake it because I just wanted to make it to Physio. It’s my fault I didn't try in biology or semester two geometry.

“You got a C in Biology? But that class was so easy.”

YES I GOT A C IN BIOLOGY, and frankly, I DON’T CARE. I didn’t get it, I’m sorry it takes me longer to understand certain topics than you. I just need to go at a slower pace, I’m sorry that apparently makes me stupid. Maybe I’m dyslexic, I don’t know. There are some topics I’m better in, and others not. I’m sorry I can’t understand everything at once like you; that doesn’t make me stupid. I remember those who told me I couldn’t do Ap. Yeah, I’m taking these Ap courses even though I want to go to VC after high school. Why? Out of my own interests. The Ap and honors courses I take are the subjects I actually want to learn more in and try in, and might I add I did and do.

“Haha I was just on my phone the whole time, and I still got an A.”

“Let’s read one of your blogs, I need a good laugh.”

Well, why have three of my blogs been read and one of yours? None of yours? If you were just on your phone the whole time why did I do better on the CST Chem than you? How did a girl who barely passed CP Chem do as well as another kid who was in Honors Chem on the CST? I want to know. I’m sorry I didn’t have a tutor to do everything for me. Good for you that you got an A in that class without really trying.

I may not be as smart as the rest of you, those who said I should have left foothill freshman year, I’m sorry I didn’t try as much as I should have. That is my fault; it’s my business, NOT YOURS, so why pick on me about it? Just because someone is not as smart as you doesn’t make them stupid. Some have to try more than others; some just need to go at a slower pace. I honestly did find chemistry interesting, it is probably one of my favorite subjects, I just couldn’t keep up with the pace, and therefore I stopped trying.

“F*** that, I always do better than you.”

“You probably failed the test hu”

Seems repetitive? Well maybe I want it that way. Stop asking me what I got, stop accusing me of cheating because I did better, stop calling me stupid and that I’m not good enough. There’s a difference between being stupid and not being as smart as you. I’m sorry I can't understand certain subjects as fast as you, I’m sorry my writing isn't “eloquent enough”, I’m sorry I’m not as smart as you or as good. Stop wasting your time trying to pick on me about how stupid you think I am, and others. Do I really look like I care? Stop, just stop.
