Emily's, complaining isn't a sin. Well, it's not one of the Ten Commandments.

Well, a lot of times I feel like people hate me. I don't know why. Like, I know they don't hate me, but that's how I feel. For example, I have a bunch of half-friends. Here's what I mean. If there isn't anyone good around to talk to, they'll talk to me. But as soon as they're real friends walk up, they won't talk to me unless I talk to them first. It makes me feel horrible. I've always been that nerdy kid that hardly anyone really likes. That happens too much nowadays. When we were younger, everyone was friends with everyone. Okay, maybe there's a couple kids you don't really like, but at least you tried to get along. But now there's all these cliques, and then there's a bunch of people that end up with only one or two real friends. That's kinda the way it is with me. I don't know why the world has to get so complicated as you get older. Half the time you just end up feeling this horrible sense that you're alone in the world, and things aren't going to get better any time soon. I feel that way a lot, but then when I see BuksRul, I don't feel that way, because I know that even if no one else in the world likes me, she always will, because we have been best friends for over seven and a half years. She has always stood by me, and she's not going anywhere any time soon. Okay, I know that was kind of long, but I had to get that off my chest because it's been bugging me for a long time. Now I feel better, and I won't act like the world is about me, me, me.

Oh Elizabeth, I know exactly how you feel. I just found out I had that same problem, I actually mean JUST, because I wasn't observant enough to know what was going on. And I often do feel alone, and sad. Sometimes, I just wish people could be friends with each other no matter what their differences! There's this kid in 7th grade and I feel sad because no one really talks to her. :( And there's even a girl in my grade (they are both new) who everyone except my friend Allie and I actually talk to! I'm really friendly with her, and we could be good friends someday, I'm not really sure what will happen after 8th grade though.... Anyways, I'm just trying my best to feel friendly to her and making her feel welcome. I hate cliques, they should just get a life. I mean, all they do is gossip and pick on people! It's just wrong and immature! My cousin is in 4th grade, and there are ALREADY cliques in her grade! She's one of the only students her teachers trust, I feel so bad for her!!! :( This is sooo sad. :( The good thing is, at my school, there are a few people who group together more than others, I'm not sure if they gossip or what, but they don't actually pick on people or anything. :)

Please, don't let this turn into another religous debate. If you don't want to, don't read it. I agree with Ima.

Several things. Okay, I'll put a list. Here goes:
Living here in Washington instead of living in Kansas, where I want to be
My older brother
My younger brothers
An order from an online shop that is taking forever
My dad is in the army and deployed (anyone else out there who has a deployed dad?)
Two of my family's three cats
The neighbor kids: They never are quiet at night!
Certain school subjects: Math, Vocabulary, Biology... you get the picture.
Okay, I'm done.

I feel left out alot. On my soccer team, there are only two homeschoolers besides me and everyone else has cellphones... besides me. They PURPOSEFULLY talk about subjects they know I can't talk about, becuz I don't know the people, and then I hear people behind my back saying, "Yeah, everyone knows who that is, well, besides the homeschooler." And I try to act, "cool", but they always ask, "How can you live without a cellphone??" The most annoying question is, "Do you have any friends?" What do they think, since I am a homeschooler, I stay home all the time and never go anywhere and know nothing of the outside world? Of course I have friends!!!!! I THOUGHT they were my friends, but behind my back they'll just make fun of me... yeah, sorry.
Not all of the girls act like that. I actually have some good friends on my soccer team, but, you know, some of them...

@ R~D~
I'm homeschooled, too, and it is irritating how people act like we're stupid because we live without a cell phone, don't have super-popular people to hang out with, don't talk about the stuff that goes on at schools sometimes, or laugh about people doing things they shouldn't be doing. I don't play sports, but I've gotten lots of funny looks from kids and adults for being homeschooled. Thankfully, though, I have three loyal, funny friends who stick up for me. You know, in Germany, if you're a homeschooler, your parents are arrested and you are put in a foster home away from you brothers and sisters! That's just wrong, in my opinion...people should have the right to educate their kids the way they want to.
(September 18, 2009 - 4:51 pm)
What? They really do that in Germany? And they still do it? That's horrible!
I'm sorry, everyone who complained – and everyone who will – about the things you complained/will complain about.
I wish I didn't have to live in Texas. It almost never snows! I hate hot weather.
GIC is also horrible, but I've already complained about that...

Yes, the German police do it a lot. The Germans (most of them) believe that unless you have a certificate that says you are a teacher, you cannot teach. And you can't homeschool, even if you have a teacher's license. The good thing is, the rule only applies to German citizens, so when I lived there, we weren't separated.

*hugs rant thread* *deep breath* *types veryveryvery long rant about horrible day, and horribleness in general* *deletes entire rant*
*'nother deep breath*
K. Sorry... I'm in a truly awful mood... *fumes*
(September 21, 2009 - 2:38 pm)
Aw. :( *gives hugs and chocklit* Anyway, you might as well rant. A bit. ;)

It's ok, Mary, everyone has a long day at least once in a while... :( I don't have a cell phone, and I'm (pretty much) the only girl in my grade who doesn't have one... :( I want one, but I can live without one. And when I get one, it won't be a very big part of my life, because, you know, I won't be able to text. But who cares? There's more to life than texting!
(September 21, 2009 - 6:11 pm)
Thanks, Mathilda and Maggie. :) *hugs* Today was better. :) (Probably 'cause it's Tuesday. Monday is often a loathsome day...)
About texting: I know how! *feels high-tech* I don't have, want, or need a phone, though. Not 'til I'm much older. *nodnod*
