Welcome to Gaia! ::

Today at the morning at the bus stop while I was waiting for the bus to my school I started thinking. I was just waiting for something to happen - waiting for something big, something that will suddenly make my life more exiting and dangerous. Or else I was just gonna wait for the school day to end till I graduate.

Then I thought that I should purposley get on the wrong bus, I wouldn't know where I was going, not know how I was gonna get back, all I knew was to go. I saw a bus leading the whole opposite direction stop off and my mind started racing "Should I go? What would happen when I went back to school?" Finally I thought "Don't think, just go." And went on the bus because I knew if I just didn't take a risk and went to school I'd regret it.

Things pretty much got more boring than I thought from there. The bus was just going straight so I'd know the way back home easily. I needed somewhere close enough to walk back that wouldn't take, y'know, extremely long like four hours 'cause I didn't know how to get back by bus. I stopped at a theme park. I would go in but I doubted I had enough money (only ten bucks) and they probably wouldn't let me in by myself. I look like a ******** ten year old.

So I just walked down the road which had various stores on it, just waiting for something to happen. Nothing did. I was kinda disappointed, I knew if I had waited on the bus longer it would've tooken me to a more exiting place that I probably hadn't seen before. So, I didn't really do anything except get a few sodas and a soup from subway, and walked around, just thinking for a couple hours - I'm still kinda sad that I didn't wait on the bus longer because than I would've got to do something more exiting.

But, I still don't regret skipping school. All I know is that I did something different, something that held more exitment than school. Maybe in a few weeks I'll get on the wrong bus and stay on it till the end of the line. I'm still trying to find out a way to get out of this mess at school, maybe I could practice writing like my parents and write a fake note saying I was sick? I need an excuse as to why I didn't go to school. Anyway, I, I dunno, I just don't know how I should completely fufill my need for exitment. And what I'm going to do about school.

Yeah...I need more advice formy real problem.

I'm going to pontificate for a minute and this does not necessarily respond to you particularly.


People often wonder why some people do stupid likes like bungee jump, walk in the middle of traffic with thier eyes closed, etc and the truth is that most of the time, he or she is bored. This sympton can be dangerous. Why? This is often when peopel turn to things like drugs or put themselves in dangerous situations in order to feel the rush of excitement. Even rapists and murderers, to some degree, act as such for the excitement of the kill or ravaging.

One of the ways to combat this syndrome, as it has been referred to in the past, are hobbies, clubs, or sports. Get involved. Since you're still going to school, try out for a team there or join a club. If nothing at your school interests you, look for clubs or teams in your community. Even the internet is a source. Maybe you search around and you find out that Archery appeals to you and so you get into it and then you participate in tournaments.

Basically, you have to figure out what what interests you... usually by trail and error.

As for school, I can tell you two things. 1) you can't get anywhere quick without at least a high school education. 2) if you leave it now, you will lose a lot of things. You won't be able to keep up with your friends intellectually and you will feel worthless at some point (for example, my friend has started to feel like that and she's been a drop out for 2 years.).

Fess up about what you did and life will get much more exciting very quickly I promise! Face it you were bored and you did something not very smart.

Ok so you want something exciting in your life. Guess what? We all do! We all get bored. We all wish we could run away or what ever. But you know what? We don't. You know why? RESPONSIBILITIES. You were being irresponsible so fess up, deal with it, learn from it and move on.

Well, you skipped school once. I can't yell at you since I have purposely skipped some of my college classes before. Well, I had to go to ER, but still. Anyway, just don't get in the habit of skipping. Once you start, it is very hard to make yourself go back to school.

w000t exciting stuff woooohoooooo

*does cartwheels through Traffic*

I guess I'm the next rapist :p <.< >.> lol j/p of ocurse XD

During 7th grade I was heavily depressed, I am not as depressed as I was then, but I got in the awful habit of skipping school. Not just one day every so often, but everyday for around 3 months. My junior high finally got fed up with it and sent me to go to this theraputic school ten minutes away. Although I am back at my normal school system now, I have to say, you do it once, you start realizing how much more fun it is than school is. Make sure not to do it too often, because you never know if it will become a habit thats hard to break.
