I really hate it when I see students of mine that come from ruined households, being down and all. As their teacher there's this much I can do for them and it makes me feel pretty helpless. And most of them are really good kids. Pretty unfair on the poor babies to get dragged into their parents' ruined relationships. Also third parties that meddle in a marriage with the intention of ruining it, are really the worst type of human beings if you can even call them that. Especially the second you know there's a kid in the way, stay the fuck away you creeps. What does it matter if you 'love' or 'hate' or whatever shit you want, one of the people in that relationship? Set your egoism aside and move along.
Not specifically talking about those girls or men that get into affairs with married people. You can't imagine how many times I've heard about relationships being ruined because of 'friends' or 'family' planting bad seeds in one of the two people in the relationship because they wanted to get rid of the other. "S/he is not good enough for my son/daughter/friend/crush. Must ruin this!" With what rights you assholes?? If there is a relationship that is falling apart, then let it do so in its own pace. Give it time so there's no too many bad feelings at the end of the day. Because those only ruin that one innocent soul (or more) that is unwillingly stuck in the middle.
On Friday I had two of the girls crying about having to go at their father's for the weekend. I talked to them about it before (carefully to make sure it wasn't anything… bad) and the reason they hate being with him, is because he keeps badmouthing their mother. Who I know loves her daughters very much. The father does too. But there's such bad blood between the parents that those little ones are confused and scared. It's pretty awful. Then there's another boy who loves his mom and loves his dad and wants to be with them both. And he gets sad sometimes out of the blue for not being able to have that. But at least their marriage ended on their own terms and they are peaceful with each other so he doesn't have that same negative reaction to it as the two sisters do.
Bleuh. It's so messed up. Better divorced than unhappy but come on. Be mature about it if only for the sake of your sanity and your kid's sanity. What good will it be to you, to raise a miserable human being with a billion psychological issues.

I've only had a few suicidal thoughts since the last dream I posted in the dreams discussion thread (not counting the times I randomly say it out loud to myself; that number's only increased).
It's seriously jarring, and I'm starting to get really uncomfortable about it.

Dude. Totally feel you.
It's the start of the academic year here, so we just had our "Student Comprehension Conference," which really means "the teachers discuss the kids' personal problems outside of school." Basically we get a packet containing the names of 100+ kids with major issues (out of 323). Countless broken homes are a given, but we've also got wrist-cutters, domestic violence, families in hiding from abusive husbands (so we can't allow photographs of those students to be leaked outside the school), undiagnosed learning disabilities, etc. There's a family with 9 kids living in a one bedroom apartment. There's a family with 6 kids, each of whom has a different father (all being raised by the mother). There's a girl who has flashbacks of her father beating her and her mother, so male teachers are advised not to raise their voices in class lest her memories be triggered. Really heartbreaking stuff.
This is not the peaceful, mundane countryside I expected. -
My dad and mom are always coming home with likewise stories as you two, teachers have to see a lot more than most people of other people's really depressing problems.
We always think of high school as the hard times, but really my dad rarely has any stories as bad as my mom, the Elementary School teacher.
You get to see how early and badly kids get fucked in life before even the remotest possibility of control and indepenednt living can be theirs.People who would think there was any justice in smashing a damaged family with kids is a sociopathic moron masturbating to their imagined moral highground.

I wasn't doing any work this morning. I was too upset by other things, but I went to class because I figured "I'm not sick", y'know?

I'll agree that, as the teacher, resorting to swearing is certainly unprofessional, pretty much regardless of circumstances.
Beyond that, though, considering all we know is 'an argument happened', without really any sort of detail or context beyond that, I think it's a bit unfair to pass judgement on the teacher from our position, just because Crystal is the only party in this that we know.

Eh…..you're right. Either the teacher gets mad easily or it was some intense argument to have the end result be him cursing.

I sort of expect college professors to have the freedom to resort to any kind of language if there's a student who's obviously unruly or disruptive to a classroom's environment.
In this situation, I'm not entirely sure what happened to decide which side to defend honesly. I can assume, but I'd rather not. -

That was my main point, really. We just don't know what happened in the situation. Forget even not knowing the teacher's side of the story, we frankly didn't even really get much of Crystal's side of the story.
I mean, it's only natural for us to want to defend and take Crystal's side, since that's who we know in the exchange. But that doesn't have to involve dog piling on the teacher, who may or may not deserve that sort of venom.

It wasn't a long, drawn-out thing. It was more like his final retort, or his parting words. Like the equivalent of ending an argument with "fuck you".
Anyway, I did argue with him, but it was mostly about whether or not I should have come to school today. It only came up because he said he was marking me absent. But then, he didn't really understand why I would have missed school for an issue that wasn't related to health. Or, he didn't understand why I wasn't just buckling down and working. He has openly mocked phrases like "this makes me uncomfortable" or "I don't feel safe". In fact, he referred to them as "buzzwords" today. So I don't think he conceptualizes that academic performance is affected by life outside of school. Which isn't really his fault, after all, he's a teacher. The educational system is designed NOT to accommodate for those things, which is why I had to drop out of high school. Unfortunately, that isn't an option in this case, because I don't want to be a failure.
I am probably going to talk to DSPS (disabled students) about what I can do for school. Because I haven't passed a class since I entered. And now this. I'm not quite sure how to succeed in life without doing well in school? I mean, I measure my self-worth with my grades… And I'm not sure how to be happy without succeeding? I feel like other people ARE happy in the moment, whereas I work to be happy at some arbitrary point in the future. To be honest, I'm contemplating giving up, but that's kind of unrelated to what happened today, and I'm talking to my friends about it right now.

This is fair, although some teachers are more understanding than others. Why exactly has he "mocked" such phrases?

Let me attempt this without shooting myself in the foot like before
First off, let me just say I'm familar with this, in that getting high grades was/is always the #1 priority for me, and that doing medicore work would only serve to make me frustrated and upset. (in fact, I think I was a little too focused). And the fear of not succeeding would terrify me.
Anyway, I want to tell you not to give up, but I feel that's speaking too close to the "work and learn all day" method I use. Maybe you can't the handle the stress of your life (not just schooling), and that's hindering you. Maybe you want to be happy in the here and now.
See what your friends think, and I think you should also talk to your parents, if possible. Get different perspectives and then decide for yourself what you want to do.
also I apologize for jumping the gun on the teacher thing

I didn't say not trust, I said not rely. I guess I should've clarified that I don't want to rely on anyone else to do anything for me.
[hide]
My mom had a bill (in my name) she told me she had paid. Every time I asked her she had promised me she paid it. I told her I'd get it but she assured me she had it. I trusted her and forgot all about it because the collection calls stopped and I got busy with my new job. It just went to collections (and then she paid it in full).She is now also skipping out on the remaining debt from when her dog attacked my dog and chewed a hole in her side. I told her exactly how much it costs, that it needed to be paid in 6 months, and what it would cost each month. The last couple of months she paid a small amount, because she kept blowing all of her money on online shopping and said she was out of money. I already have to pay the remainder of my giant root canal next month, so I'm probably going to have 2 months of not being able to pay my credit card at the amount I need.
I also end up not qualifying for this health tax credit for my COBRA payments last year, which would've given me $900 and allowed me to have my CC paid off by October.
I also still have $800 in medical bills thanks to my shitty old insurance that submitted paid claims (which I paid the remainder) to my doctor and dentist… and then sent me $400 bills each 6 months after the fact. Those I have a bit more flexibility in stretching out, but that's just another thing to add to the shit pot.
My credit score has tanked, and it's going to take ages to come back up to where I had it. My car is entering dangerous waters, and I was hoping that after I got my CC paid off (and tax return next year) I'd finally get a new car... but now it's going to take even longer (here's hoping my car lasts).
Until I get that CC paid off there isn't much wiggle room in my budget after other bills and gas and food... I have stressed and stressed on keeping my credit score high to make things so much easier for myself and now I feel like things are going to be ruined. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I don't think I will ever find peace and happiness in my life until I get as far away from my family as possible (for other reasons). I feel crushed and like an absolute failure... I have killed myself lately forcing myself to budget and finally finding contentment in keeping budget and not friviously spending, which is a huge accomplishment, but now I feel like i'm being crushed and suffocated by debt. The CC is totally my fault and I accept full responsibility and suffering for the remainder of the year for paying it down... But you gotta love it when other people can't keep their word or have the decency to flat out tell you no.... especially when the person is your mother. She might not care about paying her bills until collections is knocking down her door, but that doesn't fly for me.

You know, in high school I was a mediocre student. I made average grades because I just did enough to pass. However, at the beginning of my first semester of senior year I got bored and decided to do a little test. I wanted to prove to myself that if I just paid attention I could get straight A's. And after the first nine weeks I suceeded effortlessly.
I noticed a group of heavy studiers bragging to each other that they got A's and B's. They thought my report card was probably shitty so I showed it to them and quickly knocked them into disbelief.
The next nine weeks I got all A's and one B, just one point away from an A. It was from my easiest class too, I just had too many friends in that one that I got lazy. Once I failed my goal, one I set on a whim and treated like a whim, I lost interest again and passed the rest of the year with mediocre grades.
Then I entered and dropped out of college in the first year because I didn't like the path I was on. For years I didn't really know what I wanted, or rather I had an incomplete idea of what I wanted. So whether subconciously or not, I placed limits on myself. I prevented myself from taking certain paths and making certain commitments. And honestly, it wasn't until just a few days ago that I completed the idea for what I want to do.
I want to become an entrepreneur.
My passion for writing waned for 3 whole years because the other side of my passion, my hidden passion, could no longer be ignored. Once I entered the real world and discovered that I couldn't satisfy my passion anymore, I had to take a hard re-evaluation of my plans and of my ideas. Writing was always my passion but I haven't moved it forward.
I thought it was because I might be afraid of criticism or had no confidence in my success. But this wasn't true. It's because I wasn't aware of where the ENTIRETY of my passion comes from. Writing AND entrepreneurship. I won't be satisfied writing for someone else's benefit in an industry that's currently dying.
So I'm going to change the rules. That'll be my pursuit, securing great wealth to reach my goals. I could care less about the money, I'll donate the excess along the way. What I want is to see people's creativity thrive and their ideas flourish.
Long-winded point being, find the thing that you truly want, search your soul and don't give up. It might be that you have zero passion for your current path. And if that's the case then you should get off of it.
The only limitations are the ones we set on ourselves. For instance, we only ever doubt the good in our life. If we're ever unhappy, we have no doubts that we are. That perspective needs to change.
Doubt the negative instead and believe in the positive. Whatever you set your mind to, you'll accomplish. That's why if you think you'll fail, you will. If you think your goals are difficult, they will be.
And the opposite. If you think it will be easy, it will be. If you believe you'll succeed, you will.
Humans are ruled by their perceptions, no one sees the same reality that you do. It's as simple as a matter of perspective.
And don't worry about failure, that's just proof of our humanity. You will never learn more about yourself or gain more knowledge than through failure. So embrace it and forge from them your greatest successes.

@crystal:
In my first semester as philosophy major (which was the last half of 2012), I:
-skipped half the classes and scored average on most subjects. (cuz I didn't care)
-was admired by everyone in the class. Technically recognized as the smartest guy in the room whom everyone loves.
-corrected teachers many times.
-corrected a noted philosophy scholar in the country several times during my short presence in his class, and people started rumoring about me.
-was invited to write for a magazine.
Grades measure anything but your self-worth. Don't let the educational system decide for you who you are. Challenge authority when it is due. You are intelligent, and with enough passion, I believe the probability that you can succeed in your own way is pretty high.
And don't worry about the happiness in the presence. It is pretty over-rated. Strenuous hard works pay in the long term.Best wishes.
-
Uhhh, seriously no offense Sea,
but you sound like the very obnoxious guy everyone in the class gets annoyed at -
I know I would get annoyed (no offense sea). I would be that kid that would roll my eyes and go "Oh brother, I'm paying for all of this."
-
It is different in the class because:
-I am nice to everyone
-Helped them to study
-My correction is correct
-Didn't brag much about it.
-Most of the time I am quiet, and only speak when the teacher say something wrong. And do so tactfully.
-I know how to have fun.
Got nicknamed 'professor'. Kinda like that eccentric, a little awkward but also quirky guy. Never showed the "I am superior to all of you' attitude. Never participated in conflicts between classmates. -

@Monkey:

Did they attribute quotes wrong??That happens sometimes, but often it is not about small things like that.
For example, I objected when the teacher classified Nietzsche's ethics as deontological, and cited some of his writings (from memory) to demonstrate that was not the case.
It is not all about information, but reasoning and other skills also. While most students here are passive in their learning, I am bold in critical thinking. You should know how dogmatic the education here is.
Philosophy is not the only class I attend, of course.
Though, do you guys really need to shift the topic toward me like that, lol? -
I am pretty sure you shifted it towars yourself.

Oh man Crystal
That blows. Yeah I'd see what resources are available for you.In high school during senior year I was having an emotional meltdown. I nearly dropped out there at the end. Thankfully some actually CONCERNED administrators approached me and got me into a program to finish my remaining credits on the computer. It saved my butt. I was on the verge of having myself committed.
The semester I spent in college, I had an art professor who was also a lot like that concerning attendance and class work. I went to class and did my assignments, but I ended up having to drop the class because when he started bitching at me when I said I was going to be missing a class to drive my grandma 6 hours away for chemo treatments, I figured that was a good time to split. Wasted money, but
They had the ability to kick you out of class after 2 missed classes.. No place really cares about your life, showing up on their schedule is all that matters. I really have no desire to waste hours of time I could better spend making money in school. I'd rather show up for major lectures, take tests, and be done with it. Nothing is more swell then showing up for class and spending the entire time watching a movie completely unrelated… wasted most of our classtime in high school doing that, but I don't want to SPEND money and waste time and gas going to school just to do what I can do at home.Seems your post was burried by the general chat spam
I hope you get things sorted somehow, hopefully before what you think!
Awww thanks for responding!
What's done is done @_@ My mom had the bill paid but it's on my credit… Probably will have to spend more money then it's worth to get it removed, I just hope my score can recover in enough time that it won't derail my new car plans for a year from now.

My sympathies, Crystal. Can I ask though, what's causing you to miss school and fail classes? That kind of seems like the problem, and if there's a valid reason for that then there are ways to make your voice heard - in a respectful way without slamming down authority - so that the people around you will realise that they have to treat you in the way that you deserve. Are you being bullied? Is there a particular dangerous situation you're afraid of? What would make you feel safer coming to school? I ask this because I really, really, don't think you should be forced out by these things. You seem very bright and enthusiastic about gaining and using knowledge, and I see no reason why you shouldn't feel free to pursue your studies the way others can. If it's making you unhappy and you feel like your education is meaningless and there's something else you want to do, then that's a different matter, but either way I think it would be good if you could find a school counselor - does your college have a mental health clinic or a department within the school health clinic? - who knows about your school AND who can try to understand you as a person to help you sort out these questions. I hope this makes sense.
