ROTFLM(agik's)AO@Attalus!

*Shocked* Yeah...riiiiiiiiiiight!! I was reading a few of those old threads in the Archives...and those two were two of the worst spammers/off topicers around. HEHEHE...That'll teach Cloudy to look up ancient...errr..."nostalgic" threads with me sitting next to her.

Erm...Sorry SG. Back on topic:

I feel for you buddy! I went through the same things in school. TL is right...we all did. Despite the fact that parts of school really were the best times of my life, there were parts that were also the absofrigginlutely WORST! Heh...I have always been pretty big myself(6'1" 240# at 15! ), and, in high school I was on the football team, and was into martial arts, so I usually wasn't bothered...physically anyway. But there was this group of jock jerks, whom I'd gone to jr high with, that always tormented me. Before the MA, and the sports, I was in pretty bad shape. I used to get teased about the fact that I couldn't do pull up, and could barely do push ups. One of the B@$tards got himself a UPS t-shirt, and painted 'Jim'- in front of the UPS(making it Jim-UPS). I carried that nickname for *YEARS*! Sometimes I still flinch when I see those brown trucks roll up to the office at work. Of course, now, I can also laugh about it.

Because, last time I saw a couple of them, they were pathetic has beens with messed up lives, and all the social skills of an orangutan. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Most of them were still trying to live in their high school 'glory days'. FEH...can you say "LOSER?" I knew you could.

But, as they say, "This too shall pass". TL is right, such things build character. And yeah...I know, you've probably heard that before, and are tired of hearing it, but it's true. When you're older, you'll be able to look at those pinheads and laugh, because you'll be a mature, thoughtful, wonderful *ADULT*, and they'll still be emotional midgets.

You're a good guy Andrew, and I'm honoured and proud to know you. Hang in there, dont let them get you down, and you'll emerge stronger and even more awesome than you already are! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

PS: If you are having problems of a physical nature, might I suggest that you talk to your parents about getting you into a martial arts class? I'm *NOT* suggesting that you learn MA so you can kick the crap out of someone, that's not what the art is all about. I'm talking about, simply, if the need arises, knowing how to defend yourself. That, and a good instuctor will teach you about a lot more than just physical defense. He'll help you become a stronger person, both emotionally and mentally, and help you remain more centered and in control of yourself. I've spent *years* studying several martial arts, and I can say with complete candor, I dont think that I would be the person I am today if it wasn't for them. I'm stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I have self confidence, self awareness, and self discipline(although that last one fades a bit when someone presents me with chocolate...but anyway). And, I think that I can say with 110% accuracy, I wouldn't have Cloudy today if I hadn't gotten involved in MA as a teen. I dont think I would ever have had the courage or the confidence to talk with her in the first place, much less move out here and plan a life together with her!

Thanks guys. Man what would I do without you all!! You guys are the best. I'm glad I know all of you hope that IW goes on long enough for more to know you all for the wondeful people you all are. [img]smile.gif[/img] You all have made me feel better. Thank you..

Sigmar · 03-14-2003, 03:22 PM

Someguy, I don't know you much myself (nothing to do with you honest, I don't know many people here) but I can see from all the feedback that you're getting here and in other threads everyone loves ya

I'm a teenager like you and trust me when I say I can relate to what you're saying, we all can to some extent. The only advice I can offer you is that this is just a phase in your life that WILL eventually pass, you will leave school and then were you go from there IS your choice. You become your own person, able to socialise with whoever you want, and don't need to go where you don't wanna go. Never give up, no matter how hard it seems.

Well anyhow I'm glad to see you like this place so much

Seems like everyone likes you too, so it seems sensible for you to hang out here and enjoy yourself

See you around!

arion windrider · 03-14-2003, 04:19 PM

andrew u seem like a really cool guy and things will work out for u... just hang in there and dont let ppl get to u, they will get their own soon enough [img]smile.gif[/img]

Make that three

And for what it's worth, SG, you seem like a sensible, intelligent and well balanced guy. Trust me, things will get better.

pritchke · 03-14-2003, 06:13 PM

Don't worry too much SomeGuy, those people who bully and make fun of others are not really very good people and make the world a difficult place to live for good people like yourself and others. Some of them may even learn to grow up at some point in life however. I know at times it may seem very difficult right now, but taking the right path and decisions are not usually easy ones and sometimes we all make mistakes. These confilts that you face today will likely make you a stronger person later on in life if you can continue to rise above them. If you left your school that would be one less person around to aid and support your friends. It is worth standing by your friends if they are decent people, you will meet more decent people later on in life as well. Try your best to stay out of trouble and keep your head up.

Okay so I'll just rush towards the nearest exit now

Nope, getting a little of my own back because I was a paying member and he was a lousy tennis pro. Major sucking up required for me to pay for lessons and equipment.

SecretMaster · 03-15-2003, 12:04 AM

Ok, hate to say this but, I'm to damn lazy to read what everyone else said. Dude, don't worry, I'm in 8th grade and I know how everyone can get up your @$$ sometimes. Just ignore em. Remember, these are the years when you discover your real friends. To be honest, I've changed a lot. I forced myself to hang with people I loathed, but when I reached 7th grade, I found my real friends. School is a b*tch and a half, but just keep going, and no matter how lousy the day may seem, don't give up. Sometimes, I feel like sh*t and wonder why I'm on this miserable planet, but when I head to school, I just put on a smile, and talk with my friends. Don't be afraid to talk to people, and just ignore rumors. All that is just bullsh*t and gossip, and real friends are mature enough not to make up crap. And other people may seem nice, but they are just lousy 2 faced pieces of crap. Honestly, there are always the people who will make up anything just to get attention. Remember that, and if your relentless and just don't give up, the clouds of despair will go away. Find your REAL friends. Even if they are the "losers". If I was at your school, I'd have your back. And anyone who is stupid enough to make fun of you, is just stupid. Remember, your smart, strong, and you can make friends easily. Your a charismatic person, so if anyone messes with you, they are just stupid. Man, if I were at your school, I'd kick the crap outta everyone who is doing that. Anyways, if you know their AIM Screen Names, just tell me them, I'll be glad to give them a little talk.

Dragonshadow · 03-17-2003, 10:53 AM

Oh all right. You win, I'm on one of my good daYs eg don't argue.
Just don't do anyhing to them then. You leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone.
Worked with me. I ignored this girl in my class, and she's left me alone now.

If all else fails, send ;em to me, and I'll burn 'em.
Don't care if they hit me back, or repay my voilence.
I was going through it alot at primary school.
