<p>I hate crying in front of people-- especially because all those people that you kind of don't like, or at least aren't you friends, start asking you if everything is ok and all the attention just makes it worse.</p>
<p>I haven't cried in high school, though I did come close last year. It was first period, I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep, I was stressed out, and I'd just found out that I was an ensemble member in our school drama while all my friends had lead roles.</p>
<p>I used to cry in kindergarden to get out of things :) Like talking in the cafeteria when the entire place was supposed to be silent...we (the "gifted" kids) had been gone the entire time and so we come back in without knowing about the IMPORTANT NEW RULE and I got a, gasp, mark in my folder!! Which I thought was dumb, but I wasn't argumentative at the time and I was scared to death of getting in trouble so I started crying and the teacher just used white-out.</p>
<p>Um. So, as for high school...not really. Nearly once in MUN when we had to report on "the world's biggest problem" (dumbest assignment ever, naturally) and some girl stood up and gave a speech that was more of a sermon on how atheists are immoral and workaholism is a disease and people should really just be nicer and spend more time with their families and that would fix everything. There was really more to it than that - we started fighting and I got the standard "you're going to hell" sort of thing - but the entire situation was just so blatantly dumb and I was outnumbered and being attacked, and upset because everyone else was following her flawed logic in a way they never would concerning anything other than religion and yeah. Didn't cry but I ran straight to the restroom after class was over. Yay for Texas and it's absurd degree of fundamentalism. I also crashed my car that morning, which in retrospect probably had a lot to do with it, haha.</p>
<p>I did cry a little bit in elementary school. In middle school, things were ridiculously easy and the stupid little childish things one cries about were..not there. However, in high school I cry a lot. I usually cry about a test or my grades. Recently I've been crying a lot over...</p>
<p>...rejection. So I applied for my high school journalism staff, and I wasn't expecting to be a shoe-in, but I had really prepared for this thing. I had applied and gotten accepted to Stanford's journalism workshop, and I had gotten an application from the year before and begun working on it before this year's application even came out. I really poured in so much work into this application, and unfortunately even neglected my studies a bit. I got an interview, but then I was so nervous during the interview that I was basically a basketcase. x_x. When I found out I got rejected, I was devastated, and then went to the bathroom during 3rd period and cried. :(. Then I found out that people who had only applied just for the sake of applying and who had like 9238 other EC's to commit to and stuff had gotten in. It drove me crazy for the next few weeks, and it still drives me crazy.</p>
<p>i've come pretty close to crying. i was super stressed out and i had come in before school to have my programming teacher look at a program i made. he never showed up and that was no big deal, but when i tried to schedule a different time to come in, he accused me of never having shown up, even though other kids from the class had been there and told him they had seen me. but anyway he spent about 10 minutes telling me everything that was wrong with me and even brought up my attendance record for the semester to complain about having missed his class (which i missed for religious reasons -.-) </p>
<p>i refused to talk to him for the rest of the period and he eventually apologized...
moral of the story: stick it to the man (i'm not sure how that applies to the story, but whatever)</p>
<p>No, I rarely show emotions of any sort.</p>
<p>That seems pretty healthy, Drew..</p>
<p>Yea, I know. I meant in public.</p>
<p>I have a feeling I'm going to cry soon. I feel like crying right now due to my GPA. It sucks that I'm not going to have a 4.0 even though I worked so hard and people that don't even care about their grades will, just because it comes easy to them and they are spoiled brats whose parents do everything for them.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I just need a place to vent.</p>
<p>Aren't you the highest person in your grade, Olive_Tree? That is nothing at which to scoff, you still can become a valedictorian, which holds the same status.
Even if not, I still feel bad, but I hope you realize there are three more years. I would also ask if your transcript marks all four quarters or just the second and fourth quarters (aka the semester system). If so, you have your 4.0.</p>
<p>I don't know what they mark. I'm just going to be so disappointed if I don't end up with a 4.0. Right now, my rank is #1, but that may change without the 4.0. I'm just sad because a 4.0 UW was the thing I wanted the most coming into high school and to think that other kids who don't deserve it might get it just makes me mad. Thanks for your help and your support, kman.</p>
