I might have just gotten spirit crushing, suicide inducing news.
...i.e. that, because my Calculus teacher lied to me about my chances at getting a passing grade in the class, I might not get into college. And I got into my dream university, and - as melodramatic as it may be - I'm not sure if I can live with myself knowing I failed that badly.
So, if you get wind of my suicide, you now know why xp

dude; don't joke about suicide
it's not funny
at all
and if you asked me
you deserved that phone call
good job Ryu.
Relax, I know you're upset
but things could be ALOT worse than they are
count your blessings.
for example; you aren't struggling to figure out
how you're going to raise your baby
without your parents support.

I did want to keep my tongue bit on the whole baby front, but I'm off my meds at the mo, ( crying I have no idea where they went), so... (If I'm stupidly harsh in the following bit, I am sorry, but I'm a tad out of it at the mo~)
I understand where your parents are coming from. To put it bluntly, and likely rudely and all the other crap ways I can - your life ends once you have a child at such a young age. No college - not for 18 years anyway, and most people rarely go if they don't go right after high school - low to no income, and all that. Welfare, even. The system sucks if you end up getting forced to depend on the government - I know, my mother was a welfare officer, and I spent a good deal of my childhood underneath her desk when she couldn't get a babysitter. And if your boyfriend is going to support you by working while you raise him/her...well, just keep in mind that he may well be giving up his future too by resorting to flipping burgers or something. But, if he's cool with that, then that's his business.
It's not my place to say anything, and it is your body and baby and I do respect that, but... I do hope you put a lot of thought into keeping him/her over the alternatives like adoption. There are so many girls getting pregnant at my school - Ryu can vouch for that - and they're all...well, they haven't planned anything. They're all caught up in the majesty of having a baby, not at all focused on the reality. The diapers. The screaming. The medical bills alone of pumping a kid into the universe. The endless financial debt. Everything. It's not all sunshine and giggles, having a baby.
No parties for you, essentially. Unless you count Mommy-and-Me as a party.
I mean, your parents have been there and done that. They know what you're giving up for this, and they probably just wanted better for you. They didn't bring you into this world just so they could financially support another child that they didn't ask for for 18+ years because of something you didn't plan on happening.
...mind, I'm still keeping you in my thoughts and sending happy vibes and all that. I'm just saying. Think about it?
...don't kill me sweatdrop
(And, I'm not joking about suicide - trust me, I'd never joke about that, I've been on the point of actually attempting it several times before - I'm just being melodramatic. There's a difference.)

Somehow, whenever I find a chance to get on, it seems I miss important things. gonk
It seems that my own angst and agony wouldn't help lighten the mood, so I'll just keep it to myself(as usual) and focus on everyone else.
Yuki- I don't think you should be so self-judgmental(excuse me for not using a spot-on word for the situation, but I'm not in the best of moods at the moment, and it's messing with my thoughts). Life is...unpredictable, as cliche as that sounds. I was(and still am one) of the few who ever got perfect grades on state exams such as Taks (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) year after year. From time to time, I would get letters from college fund programs just because of my testing scores. Hell, I still do.(And as much as it sounds like I'm trying to brag, I'm not.) Where's the big disappointment, Gin? You sound really sucessful.
Bullshit. I'm a huge disappointment to my parents(education-wise). I despise school with every fiber of my being. Advanced schools that challenge me, or local schools that don't; it makes not a bit of difference. I. Hate. School. If I didn't have a little brother with autism, or an alcoholic dad who yells and curses at my mother(Whom I feel obligated to protect), I'd already be somewhere else. China, probably. And I'm probably the stupidest kid in the world for not being disappointed in myself, or for being ashamed of diappointing my parents. But the truth is: I REALLY DON'T GIVE A FLYING ******** ABOUT EDUCATION. THE ONLY THINGS I WANT TO DO IN MY LIFE ARE LIVE, LOVE, ROCK. But you know what? There aren't any schools that teach that. And so, I must conform to what schools there are. Eff that.
*flails*
Ah, but i've gotten off topic. sweatdrop Forgive me.
The point of that rant was,(though poorly delivered, explained and ended)
Disappointment comes. Don't be shaken; don't give in. The best you can do is pick up the pieces and keep going. Because life changes, as do conditions. Stones fall to pieces purely because they cannot move. They cannot change. Not on their own. They can do nothing but stand as a statue and look pretty. People are different; they move. They breathe, unlike stones. And that is why they are able to survive, because they can change.

Whoa eek I feel like I just entered the dark side of the moon. And I thought I was having a bad week. Way to put it into perspective. Ok, so no personal attack intended but I feel the need to defend DR4G0NG1RL and point out some incorrectness in Yuki's little outburst.
To start, life may change a lot when you have a kid, but it doesn't end. College can be done. My mom has gone back to college several times after having three kids and needing to send them all to college. Yes, it is harder to go back, but it's not impossible or not done. Besides, college isn't always the right choice. Wanna talked effed up life? My friend had dreams of going to Michigan with her long time boyfriend and attending college there. What she didn't plan was having her dad beat her for being with the guy, her bf ex-girlfriend not paying child support, dropping out of highschool due to all the rumors about her, and getting married at 18. Unplanned for sure. She didn't have a baby true, but her husband did when his ex was a freshman and he was a junior. The ex's life was doomed from the beginning because she was a crazy slut, but he was going places. Now, my friend doesn't have to work because her husband makes enough money to afford a hell of a lot.
As for parties...Mommy and Me can also be proved wrong. It's called babysitter. Not at first obviously, would have to wait like a month or so but afterwards, depending on bottle or not (you know what I mean), momma can party like no tomorrow. Then again, not every girl wants to party. Maybe a little, but not always.
Sorry if it's attackish but like I said, I don't mean it that way. I am protective of people and I've had a bad week. I think this is a blackhole kinda week personally, at least from it sounds like. burning_eyes

See, the thing is - you make it sound like it's a no biggie thing. I was just saying, life does go down the tubes if you have a child at such a young age. And babysitters cost money - and if you factor in the diapers, medical expenses, food, clothes, shelter...it might not sound so feasible.
I mean, I honestly don't say this in a mean sense, so you don't need to get so overprotective, but I'm just saying... Down the road, it might be a bit of a regret to have had one so young. Of course, she'll love him/her to bits and that's the best feeling in the world, (I imagine), so it won't be a horrible thing, but...
Well, I can't think of how to say what I want to without getting mauled, so I might as well shut up.
(Besides, it's not like I'm being listened to anyway - all I'm doing is trying to present the 'well, you know~' gritty side of things. Someone has to do it, but apparently that's the wrong thing to do stare )
