I said this to my add maths teacher who was nice to talk around with, he said that “hmm, I don’t think you can go back, but if you have any trouble just ask your teacher” so Oof

#

He was new btw, so yeh I get it

#

Anyway now that we are on online class, she gets really annoying now, I missed her classes twice and only hers cause Y’know I severely dislike her classes

spark sonnet
#

hm

#

well

#

first and foremost i think you should try to attend - whenever she starts talking smack, just ignore her

#

you are going to encounter plenty of irritating and rude people in your life

crystal prawn
#

Sooo, yeh she got mad at me and asked why I wasn’t there during her 2 online classes, I said because of the rain and blocked the WiFi (Partila reason) and also the crashes on my Ipad( Also true but not always occurring)

#

She just said “well you were in Add maths class so there is no excuse” something like that, and yeh I was in add maths class cause I have some trouble with it and I need to go there

#

Another reason is the way that she does her deadline, she always says that Time management is important so if you are late 1 day you will lose a mark.

#

And those deadlines are always the day she gave work at a specific time, or before her next class

#

And she even gave us a document with the criteria of how she expects us to hand in our work on time, neatly, and stuff

#

When I saw this are was furious as the criteria was almost a page long+ with that info supposed to be inputted in every exercise she gives (Almost every day)

#

Here are some points that she wants: Date, name, question number, only ONE divider along the page, she every step of work, used a lined A4 paper, write neatly, etc..,those are the few of my mind

spark sonnet
#

i see

spark sonnet
#

well, she is trying to set you guys straight by the looks of it

#

with her requirements i mean

crystal prawn
#

She also says to use CamScanner to make it pdf file for each assignment so it’s easy for her, that just made me upset tbh lol

spark sonnet
#

CamScanner is a great app

crystal prawn
#

So I decided on my own to do an alternative

spark sonnet
#

why is it upsetting?

crystal prawn
#

Cause for CamScanner is a place I kept all my art stuff and it’s a special place for my drawing hobbies

rough holly
#

ahh if you have a apple phone - notes has a scan document thingy

spark sonnet
#

you can make folders on CamScanner im sure

crystal prawn
#

So I compensate by using my spotlight which are really high quality to take a great picture and cropping it so it meet her requirements that there is nothing besides the work

spark sonnet
#

well, thats fine then isn't it?

#

plus there are other scanning apps

crystal prawn
#

And then today she reviewed my work and said to do it in a pdf file, I continued listening, she then said she couldn’t see. What?!

spark sonnet
#

im assuming she means she couldn't see the pdf file, then?

crystal prawn
#

I cropped and gave it separate lighting so my iPad while taking the pic doesn’t shade my work and she even asked if I used pencil, which I used a pen

spark sonnet
#

okay but did you put it into a PDF

crystal prawn
#

No she could access the picture I sent, but she said “I can’t see it properly”

crystal prawn
#

How do I put a picture into a pdf file

spark sonnet
#

most definitely - it's really hard for teachers to grade work as pictures

spark sonnet
#

im not sure how it works in iOS but on android you can do it really easily

crystal prawn
#

alright, nice

spark sonnet
#

if you need help i would be happy to assist in showing you

crystal prawn
#

But yeh Math is not really as hard as the other subjects but it still needs some time from me

crystal prawn
spark sonnet
#

that's alright, math needs practice

#

i'm sure you'll do great

crystal prawn
#

Yep, especially with Add maths

spark sonnet
#

keep your head in the game and focus in class

#

i understand your teacher can be irritating at times, but try focus when she's explaining and stuff, you need it

crystal prawn
#

So yeh, besides her way of teaching the syllabus, I don’t like the way she conducts her lessons

spark sonnet
#

shame :/

crystal prawn
#

I had a case today

spark sonnet
#

a case?

crystal prawn
#

Where a student couldn’t attend online class because her IPad was malfunctioning and ordered a new one to come in a few weeks

#

When I saw that I was like “hmm, alright that shouks be understandable”

spark sonnet
#

uh huh

crystal prawn
#

But then yeh I was half true, she only cared if she could go to the online classes or stuff, it made me a but irritated but I guess that’s her way of doing stuff

spark sonnet
#

i mean, why is it irritating you?

#

it isn't affecting you is it?

crystal prawn
#

It reveals some info that she can use on us

spark sonnet
#

what do you mean?

crystal prawn
#

So let’s say we have a problem with our devices, we can tell how she will react and it won’t pretty, cause she won’t be considerate if there is a problem

spark sonnet
#

right

crystal prawn
#

She will say that we have to go and we have find a way to be on track with her

#

And yeh because the way she teaches, I can’t understand it

#

So I made my decision to take the book and study for a while myself until I understand the concept on my own

#

Then I do the questions she assigned us, and for the questions that really stumbled me and wasn’t seen at the concept info area

spark sonnet
crystal prawn
#

I usually ask my father for help, and he can explain the problem and how to solve it

spark sonnet
#

alright so

#

what im getting from you

crystal prawn
spark sonnet
#

is that this teacher does not explain concepts well

#

yes?

crystal prawn
#

I mean she does her slides but she teachers really fast and most of the time very confusingly, so yeh

spark sonnet
#

so in other words

#

she does not teach properly

crystal prawn
#

But still managed to go over the time of her class and letting us out to break late or using all her time

spark sonnet
#

have you politely requested her to slow down?

crystal prawn
#

Yeh sadly, I mean she did teach for 39 years

spark sonnet
#

for her*

crystal prawn
#

Yeh many students have, but it didn’t matter as she teachers us in a very confusing manner

spark sonnet
#

i see

crystal prawn
#

Wait the problem is not her speed actually

#

She took too much time of the class

spark sonnet
#

uh huh

crystal prawn
#

It’s the fact that the way she teaches is really confusing for everyone

#

Even the really smart students, and yeh I just happen to be in the advance class so I can relate with them

#

I asked my year 9 friends who also have her as their teacher, they said she’s a boomer and explains stuff confusingly

spark sonnet
#

so in short, she does not teach properly

crystal prawn
#

Yes

spark sonnet
#

i see

#

well

#

i think you should invest in a tutor

#

GCSE math is a good base

#

and it would be a shame to waste

crystal prawn
#

Btw, my personal favourite from a person who got taught one lesson by her as a substitute: She teaches as if she tries to teach her self

spark sonnet
#

you can try complaining to the administration

spark sonnet
#

sheesh

crystal prawn
#

Exactly

#

And another guy who got her as a substitute for one class said “Yo I can already tell she is bad, I dropped a pencil and she was like ‘stop destroying the peace’ while she helped with another person who dropped his whole pencil case”

#

And then they also said that “To write everything down, write the working with each step you make, write neatly, etc

#

Yeh basically she was rlly annoying for them, which I can understand why, so yeh I reassured them that this was normal

spark sonnet
#

LMAOOO BOOMER

crystal prawn
#

Anyway Imma eat a meal, so I might be back later, I’ll check the roles

#

Yeh I know

#

They said she’s a boomer, everyone who had her say that lmao

#

Anyway, as I said I may be back later and I’ll check out the notes

spark sonnet
#

good luck

crystal prawn
#

Thx

spark sonnet
#

no worries

spark sonnet
#

im just gonna scream here for a sec

#

today my mother walked in on me having probably the worst mental breakdown I’ve had this whole week. it felt so liberating to just cry in her arms and tell her how stressed and scared i am about school

My sister is 10 ;-;, 11 this year...

and got angry at me if i accidently missed on

rough holly
spark sonnet
#

i started praying bc i wanted to, i hated being forced and i used to do it just so that my mum would leave me alone

rough holly
#

yeah now i remind my parents to pray

that was a close one

tawdry star
woven lark
#

hahahahahaha

keen kestrel
wooden elm
#

Fucking hell smalldots scens make me tilt

#

How do I not use my conscious mind

#

while doing something repetitive, since building motor control while thinking is stupid

#

like lets say you are playing a guitar tryna get a riff, how do you repeatedly try to do it without thinking about anything but you fucked up or you didn't fuck up?

#

or taking 100 shots with a basketball, how do you only allow your brain to process why you missed the shot and nothing else

#

and not get frustrated

#

and is there anyway to ignore physical pain while doing these tasks

spark sonnet
#

tbf the only thing you can do is accept that it takes time to get things perfect

spark sonnet
#

you're focusing all on that one shot

#

and ignoring the 99 shots that were perfect

#

instead of lamenting why you missed it, you're better off analysing why you missed it and feeling proud of the 99 or whatever u got right

naive skiff
#

I think this was a quote i read somewhere
"I fear not a man who practiced 1000 different punches but a man who has practiced a punch 1000 times"

rough holly
#

i like that

unreal oak
naive skiff
#

Ah yes

#

Thanks man

wooden elm
#

and what i tried to say earlier was (i find this a bit hard to articulate) I want to ignore every previous shot, and every time i take a shot I want to see it as my first one

#

instead of tilting everytime I miss in a streak or getting hyped everytime I hit

#

i realise this takes a lot of focus but other than that, how the fuck can i not get frustrated

spark sonnet
#

im sorry if this sounds vague but honestly it comes down to you and how you see things, how you treat yourself and your accomplishments and failures

#

if one belittles themselves over their mistakes

#

then their downfall is not debatable

#

one will end up hating what theyre trying to do

#

let me try put it into perspective somehow

#

for example me and my art

#

sometimes i dont feel like going through the horrid repetition of getting the sketch right and accurate

#

you keep erasing over and over and over

#

i could just get frustrated

#

call myself dumb and scrap it

#

and then i'll start doing that with all my art

#

or math problems i cant wrap my head around

#

or i can grow a pair

#

try again

#

take a breather

#

try see what im doing wrong

#

it isnt the same as the repetition u describe

#

but it has the same basis

#

similar concept

#

u need to learn how to not beat yourself up but not get a mf god complex, you know? @wooden elm

#

be proud, but know that you can only perfect so many things

#

and remind urself of why you're doing what you're doing

#

im sorry if this was unable to help you

wooden elm
#

No what I am sayign is thought during training in general is counterprductive

#

especially something like motor control

naive skiff
#

So you wanna ignore all your others shots and count it as your first?

wooden elm
#

exactly

naive skiff
#

And then continue it as your first?

wooden elm
#

every time i take a shot

naive skiff
#

From 1 to 100

wooden elm
#

yeah

spark sonnet
#

no thoughts head empty

#

yeah i dunno man, try blasting music

naive skiff
#

Then here's a better idea

#

Keep a table

wooden elm
#

no only thoughts that should be there is if you got the riff or if you don't, if you get the shot or youd on't

spark sonnet
#

loud music doesnt give u the room to think

naive skiff
#

One side miss one side scoee

#

Score

#

Do a set amount and record each day

#

This is totally away from what tou want

spark sonnet
#

but why would he keep a table

naive skiff
#

Progress

#

How well he does over time

spark sonnet
#

but isnt he looking for a way to block out thought ?

#

oh thats true

wooden elm
spark sonnet
#

that would be good

naive skiff
#

It motivates

#

Also melon

#

Whats the real thing

spark sonnet
#

yeah

naive skiff
#

Is it basketabll or studies

spark sonnet
#

what r u trying to do exactly

wooden elm
spark sonnet
#

bc it differs

wooden elm
#

like i said improving motor contrl in one specific area

wooden elm
naive skiff
#

The table thing is what im leaning towards

#

You cant count something as your " first shot"

wooden elm
#

except that would particularly be impossible, i still somewhat do it

#

i take every set of waht i do in a minute

#

and mark it

naive skiff
#

You're over doing yourself

wooden elm
#

so i get an everage

naive skiff
#

Thats better

wooden elm
#

and see how much i improve daily

#

that way I know if i hit plateus and such

naive skiff
#

Try also seeing how many times you've failed

wooden elm
spark sonnet
#

tbh i cant rlly comment bc i dont know what the task is

naive skiff
#

Wait

spark sonnet
#

is it a private task

#

or something

naive skiff
#

Is this to beat alex

wooden elm
#

no

naive skiff
#

Oh okay

spark sonnet
#

nda?

wooden elm
#

yeits better if i delete it

spark sonnet
#

what does nda mean owo

#

no thoughts head empty

wooden elm
naive skiff
#

Ehats better if you delete what

wooden elm
#

typing is very close to the task at hand

#

ur recording urself at every minute lets say

#

you really don't want to think during that minute

#

which is something i find very hard

spark sonnet
#

errrrrrr

#

well

wooden elm
#

Everytime I type the word "type" as "tpye"

#

i get frustrated

spark sonnet
#

i think you just need to put all your focus on one thing

#

either loud ass music

naive skiff
#

Sire ive been having typos lately and im annoyed as well

The layers on your hands and toes don't really help once they get cold in my experience

Keeping the rest of my body warm helps tho so maybe don't wear shorts in January next time

But at some point you just learn to live with cold as f fingers ig, I don't really know if there's anything you can do

i got the same issues as you by the looks of it, and what helps me is having everything laid out for me when i wake up

so like

#

the night before, i write down my to do list

#

if theres anything with a deadline

#

i make sure to mark that down in my planner

#

i set reminders, alarms, whatever

it helps a lot when u wake up and find what you need to do right there

because its like already starting if that makes sense

Oke so imma vent

#

Honestly, there's so much to do so much to learn Nd we only have 82 days l for the cie exams

#

And I have no motivation at all

#

Like there's business one subject I'm take out from the 20 chapters I think(they're lengthy, nonetheless)

#

Which r coming and I only know 4

#

Or 5 of that or maybe less then what I think

#

Then there's accounting

#

Honestly, idk how I'm doing accounting, I understand it but then it gets rlly hard

#

I want to learn but I have no motivation

#

At all

#

Not even the days r motivating me

#

Nd I just rlly feel ded inside every time I open the books

#

Or just rlly generally

violet lantern
#

just throwing my two cents in @mild compass

looks like you're in AS so it will only help you in A2 to get good grades here and better your knowledge

skip the school exams, forget the mocks, register privately if you have to, but don't let your self study go to waste and do your past papers. and, use your teachers to the fullest to get what you're paying for in school

#

get your rhythm going and ask teachers in which order you should start revising/studying the chapters. once you pick up pace, even 5 minutes spent a day studying something small is progress to at least have something going if you cant study all day

mild compass
#

@violet lantern So youre saying a routine

#

?

violet lantern
#

rather, a plan which will help you study smart

#

and not bulldoze through 1 to 20 chapters, starting from chapter 1 because it's chapter 1

#

your teachers would know which topics are the most important have have the most weightage, etc

#

once you have the tough stuff worked out and core chapters which are necessary to learn further chapters worked out, things will become easier

#

aim for quality, not quantity which you would find in studying for X amount of time per day

#

once you get quality, quantity will follow

mild compass
#

oohh

#

a schedule

#

u mean

raw ermine
#

@mild compass sorry im late but
kemurikage guy has a great point, putting a schedule and focusing on the tougher subjects will help a lot
And well, try not to procrastinate, coz it will make things a lot harder in the end.
And give urself regular, short breaks (I keep saying this to everyone here lol i just feel like it's important for mental health) no matter how much work u have, dont study 24/7, take a break and that will let ur mind focus more when u study, and not get over-stressed later, just some time to walk around the house andmaybe eat smt or take a shower to refresh the brain
I think best thing is study for 30 minutes and take 5 mins break, or study 50 minutes and 10 minutes break
and take one or two longer breaks in the middle of the day
just s

spark sonnet
#

couldnt have said it better than kemurikage

@mild compass you need a proper study schedule, a checklist, a to do list for every day et cetera

82 days is more than enough lol

My mental health has gone out of the door. Recently I found out a close friend of mine lied about her age which understandably made my trust issues go brrr. My dad is verbally abusive and it stings whenever he yells and now they're looking for a uni for me which stresses me out big time because I had an option in Ukraine that would let me move out this year which would make me happy because honest to god this country makes me so god damn unhappy. I have trouble sleeping and last night I got the best sleep in a while which was around 4-5 hours. I have frequent mental breakdowns at least 1-2 everyday where i cry then maybe go to sleep or all of a sudden I just don't feel anything anymore. I've been studying obsessively with no breaks because my dad wants me to pass so i can become a doctor. Becoming a doctor was my own choice because i medically wanted to help people but now my parents have turned it over into a money making scheme and it makes me just not want to be a doctor anymore. Half my friends feel the need to tell me how to feel about certain situations that happened to me and I hate it so much it's my right to feel what I feel and forgive what I feel I can forgive. My best friend is also really sad at the moment and it makes me feel so alone since she's taking a break from social media. My other best friend wakes up really late and I wish they were here right now and the person getting me through all of this is Delta a close friend and one of my best friends. The solutions I have at hand at the moment are all short term and don't relieve my exam stress, living in a third world country doesn't really help in regards to mental health. Then there's being an immigrant with all the subtle racism this country makes me so unhappy and i honestly just want to leave it. Being bi is no walk in the park either, a few months ago almost a year ago I tried to come out to my parents and they blamed it all on the fucking tv. I hate everything and I honestly just don't want

#

to exist anymore

wintry rampart
#

welp, my brother's taking things too far.

#

i've seen him watch a video on youtube of some guy breaking ps3s and xbox 360s to "create a freaking ps5", as well as another set of videos of people burning their couches and pouring liquids on their computers

#

i intervened by telling him not to watch it, as i fear that he could destroy either my electronics or my mother's electronics for his own "curiosity" and make my own mother blame me for destroying her property when it is him

#

when he resisted my urges for him to stop, he would still do it, which led me to raise my voice, threatening him that if he breaks my laptop or xbox one, "he'll be the one who's going to be broken" by simply living with my grandmother for weeks (safest option, as i initially threatened to stab him for being too defiant, and found it too insane to perform), while cutting any connections with him for weeks, which would let him slobber in his own tears, wondering why he was a douchebag brother and why I "never loved him"

#

when my mother got home, she yelled at me for intervening and explaining on why she ignores me most of the time and why i cannot “control” him when i’m actually trying to help him limit his exposure to “bad influence” Youtubers that encourage kids to commit property damage and swear as if they were making N.W.A style gangster rap

#

i've already consulted with a therapist and my brother's therapist, as i believe that this is the best choice, to have both sides (me and my brother) benefit by resolving the issue

#

i can't just cry when my mother is at home, as she'll yammer about how crying makes bad luck, when i literally cried my ass during lunch (when she was still at work), wondering why I WAS ALWAYS THE VICTIM of my mother's yellings and not HIM and yet, nothing bad happened

#

if he breaks his ps3 and my xbox one to "get a ps5", i'll literally go apeshit

#

the exact way that he tried to make me raise my voice was claiming that the video is about the PS5 when I literally saw the destruction of two consoles

#

i don't know if this is a better "revenge" plan, but I plan to mislead him any time he needs help with his overadvanced academics

#

that way, my mother could scold him for getting failing grades, which would twist the odds.

#

last time that a severe incident like this happened, he literally played a Weeknd video on the TV and I rushed at him to intentionally grab the remote and turn the TV off, but I accidentally pushed my mother and grandmother and cried as the little shitter stared as if he was feeling pleasured.

#

he would purposefully mispronounce Weeknd songs to a point where I lost interest in music for around 3 years

#

this was in 2018/2019 iirc

#

I really don’t know what to do here.

#

Should I forge a “run away” plot that actually is that of staying at my father’s house for a really long time (preferably around 3 months), tell his speech therapist (his behavioral therapist isn’t doing anything at all other than act as a tutor) about his viewing habits or just forget that he exists, as a way to restore my own balance and control?

#

I can’t talk to my mother about this as she would literally get mad at me

dusk thorn
#

@wintry rampart man your brother sounds like the biggest piece of shit. How old is he??

wintry rampart
#

10

#

with the mind of a 7 year old

#

he just finds a way to get my attention and raise my dang voice

#

only to get me in trouble while he sits and enjoys life

dusk thorn
dusk thorn
#

If it makes you feel less alone, i have a 6 year old brother with insane behavioural issues

#

I'm guessing you've tried telling him you can't really destroy devices like that for no reason.

#

*?

wintry rampart
#

what i tried to tell him was “if you watch these videos and get infleunced from it, you’ll end up breaking me and my mother’s devices, to a point where mom’s gonna spend more to get new devices”

#

cause what he watches influences him in some way

dusk thorn
#

Same goes

#

I'm gonna be real with you chief tho, that kind of talk makes them 10x worse

#

My little sister also used to be a piece of shit

#

And speaking like that to them is inherently correct

#

But

#

They will take it as condescending

wintry rampart
#

at least I told his therapist in secret so that he would be confronted eventually

#

and I believe that this is the right thing to do

wintry rampart
dusk thorn
#

Definirely good to inform the therapist

#

With my brother I avoid being condescending in any way

#

Approaching him positively works way better (despite my frustration and anger with him)

#

Bc he starts laughing and becoming worse if you get mad at him

wintry rampart
dusk thorn
#

Yeah man happens all the time if we get mad at him :/

wintry rampart
#

but I believe that kids his age would take note of whatever things his elders scold him and that I believed that he was always defiant

dusk thorn
#

Comparing him to my little sister sometimes helps because it brings him a feeling of shame

#

Yeah me too

#

Both my younger siblings were spoilt and stubborn so it didn't work with them

#

It's so fucking annoying

#

But at least now one of them is on the right track

#

You should try and put restrictions on youtube somehow

wintry rampart
#

I can’t. my mom would find it as “controlling”

dusk thorn
#

Ah

#

Your mother

#

At least my mum is sort of working with me

wintry rampart
#

she just keeps telling me “Leave him alone. Let him watch whatver he wants”

#

if you want, tell his nanny

dusk thorn
#

Looks like she just CBA with him?

#

My parents constantly sedated my brotber hence why he's like this rn

#

They couldn't be assed to raise a child again

#

And just constantly gave him ipads

#

Tablets

#

Phones

#

You name it

wintry rampart
#

she just lets him be. however, when she thinks that he’s doing wrong, she gets mad at him

#

especially with his grades

dusk thorn
#

And you're pulled into this cycle

#

:/

wintry rampart
#

i’m pulled in this prolly as an attention seeking montage

#

which would often work on him, while ruining my mental health

dusk thorn
#

Is your relationship with your mother decent enough to talk some sense into her?

wintry rampart
#

I’m scared

dusk thorn
#

Of her?

wintry rampart
#

she’ll get mad at me for intervening

#

and tell me to leave my brother alone

dusk thorn
#

But you're not intervening, you are trying to make her life easier and make your brother into a better person

#

Leave him alone and spiral? And cause her to be constantly mad at him?

#

She needs to hear all this

#

Sorry i dont really know what the worse is when it comes to your mum, so idk whats safe to say and what isnt

wintry rampart
#

she thinks that i'm going insane

dusk thorn
#

But for sure it's gonna hit the spot when you tell her that your brother is out of control and you are trying to help him and help her

#

Why on earth does she think that

wintry rampart
dusk thorn
#

Might hurt more if you tell her it's partially her fault that he's like this

wintry rampart
dusk thorn
#

Damn i don't like her, no offence. Just because somebody gets frustrated that doesn't mean they have anger issues

#

My mother is the same

#

Not fond of my mum

#

But i did yell some sense into her at some point

#

She also sees a specialist with my brother

#

But she wasn't doing jack shit right and kept giving him his tablet to watch those god awful videos

#

So I said you either give me control or I am never cooperating with you ever again

#

Along with hitting some of her nerves

#

Like telling her it's their fault for sedating him and not listening to me from the start

#

Not that it was easy ofc

I got lots of telling offs and cussing outs

as of now, she's hiring the school's "unofficial" therapist, whom tends to an autistic classmate to give him the answers to make it look like he was doing good in school

For god's sake

#

cause she knows that if she lets him answer quizzes and examinations on his own, he'll get 1/5 of the test as correct

#

I was aware that he could be rushing just to play, as he gets glued to his iPad and PS3 for hours on weekends

Didn't you mention wanting to get your mother mad at him for bad grades to like

Turn the tide or something?
