<p>Oh god… if I had the guts to say this to him… :</p>
<p>I know it’s been a while, but I still love you and I’ve loved you for three years… and I think I will love you forever, even though I really, really wish I didn’t…
And you broke my heart… and you knew it! Sometimes I even think u did it on purpose… and even knowing what I know… I still love you so so much…</p>

<p>we had gotten into a bad fight and didnt speak for a couple of days, random girl from another town i had just met was pretty good looking… neglected to tell her that i had a girlfriend.
Just feel really guilty and don’t know whether to forget it ever happened or to tell her about it</p>
<p>Yalie- you took the words right out of my mouth.</p>
<p>I hate it when people feel like they need to change themselves just to fit in (My boyfriend is notorious for this). You shouldn’t deny yourself who you are because other people don’t agree with it. Everyone seems to base how they act, what they wear, and even their morality based on what they think makes them “look bad”, so they only refrain from doing bad things for their own selfish image. It saddens me.</p>
<p>Also I hate it when I see kids in school who get bad grades, and get into bad stuff and then blame it on their ****ty home life and background. From personal experience and what I’ve witnessed from peers, almost everyone as gone though their fair share of crap in their past, and the people who play the victim role just as an excuse to fail are nothing special. Get past it and move on, and do something better with yourself, or you lose. Don’t accept failure. Now I understand much people have had it much worse than me, but that should just give you more motivation to make something of yourself.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s a bit insensitive, but it just kind of annoys me.</p>
<p>as for personal stuff I’ll admit:
-I’m kind of a perv
-I feel like I’m leading my boyfriend on too much and hes starting to take it seriously
-Im scared that something in the world is just “off”
-I’m procrastinating WAY to much</p>
<p>and…</p>
<p>-I used Wikipedia on a research paper</p>
<p>Dear Ms. English Teacher,</p>
<p>Yes, you teach AP Language and Composition. Yes, it is an important class. But it is emphatically NOT the most important class in the school. This means that you (surprisingly enough) do NOT have the right to assign us upwards of three hours of homework per night. It’s unnecessary, excessive, and outright cruel. </p>
<p>In addition, the incessant petty whining about your own personal issues during class (while certainly a source of adversity in your life) is getting old. I sympathized with you the first time, the second time, the fifth time, the twentieth time you brought up your various medical conditions, but it’s past the 100th day of school. I’m tired of hearing it. Chin up and soldier on like the rest of the world does and stop whining to your captive audience.</p>
<p>Dear E,</p>
<p>You are such an incredibly self-centered, whiny, pathetic little ****e. You somehow managed to spend two nights and eight hours in total complaining about how difficult your life was whilst we roomed together at a regional music festival. To you, I have but one thing to say: Get over yourself. It’s no one’s fault but yours–not your parents’, not your teachers’, not your orchestra conductor’s, not the judges’–that you didn’t make it to the state level. </p>
<p>I did. So did your other roommate. Do you want to know why, E? It’s because I spent hours upon hours and weeks upon weeks preparing for the auditions. I worked my stubby little musically untalented fingers to the bone trying to learn my music. Don’t complain to me about how your parents have high expectations of you–so do mine. You’re not taking an all AP courseload this year, you’re not juggling three community service activities, three orchestras, and officerships in four clubs on top of these auditions. </p>
<p>You don’t do any of this. You’re–at best–academically average, which is fine because you’re planning to go to conservatory. But you’re also lazy and self-absorbed. As a matter of fact, your overprotective, over-caring father has taken leave from HIS job as a musician to help you prepare for your college auditions, and yet you still complain that your parents don’t care for anything you do. </p>
<p>And worst of all, you end your sentences with prepositions. Do you honestly expect me to listen to your long-winded and agrammatical rants? I don’t care to. Shut up and go do some REAL work instead of boring us with your prattle.</p>
<p>Dear RSI/CEE,</p>
<p>Release your decisions already, please? Your people have given different responses each time when CCers have asked about your decision release day. Just do it. Please. Put us out of our misery.</p>
<p>Dear C,</p>
<p>I think you’re really sweet and kinda cute. I like you, I really do, but I’m still working my way through the remnants of a wonderfully committed relationship. You’re leaving for college, I’m going to be quite busy for the next year. I’m flattered by your interest, but I’m rather afraid that dating will be quite impossible. </p>
<p>I’ve been told that jokes about genocide are spectacularly bad form…</p>
<p>Dear Senior Year,</p>
<p>STOP GIVING ME **** TO DO AND LET ME LIVE MY LIFE.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>P.S. - I really like you, L, wish we didn’t live three hours away. Two years later and I still think about you all the time.</p>
<p>LOL We learned about poet Eve Merriam who thought poetry was supposed to be not analyzed, but light (all students stare at teacher who is making us all write a 7 page research paper and analysis paper on assigned poets)</p>
<p>Dear English Teacher, </p>
<p>I don’t need to hear you go on for 40 minutes about symbolism that is so blatantly obvious my dog could pick up on it. </p>
<p>Yours Truly,
Me</p>
<p>i tell myself it’ll be better next week… </p>
<p>This week I have a comp sci and music project due (the former over 50 pages, the latter, a web design), a history quiz on Stalin, a biology test on the heart/etc, a math plane vector test, TOK journals, i just took my physics midterm on mechanics, english paper.</p>
<p>And then the busy work they give us every day. Who started the myth of a relaxed senior year? This is garbage.</p>
<p>Ktk you are completely right. In the last 3 weeks, I have had 2 major lit tests, 2 term papers, 3 timed writes. That is just one class. Relaxed senior year is bs.</p>
<p>Dear Val., stop pretending that you don’t try to get your high grades and think you’re so smart and stop degrading me, the Sal, and saying that I could never beat you, and that I’m trying so hard while you’re not doing anything. You know why, because I can beat you, and I will, and let’s remind ourselves that we’re only .0001 away from each other.
See you next year on the stage, me - saying my Val speech, while you sit and watch.</p>
<p>Dear boy in my SAT Class,
I hate how you shamelessly flirt with me yet through a peer edit of one of your essays, I found out you had a girlfriend.</p>
<p>I hope you and your affection for ganja stays away from me.</p>
<p>Dear God,
I hate how I never have anything to **** about in these threads. Please make my life a little more miserable so I can participate in these threads.

<p>So you’re middle-class at a predominantly well-to-do private school. What’s more, a predominantly friendly and nonjudgmental private school. I don’t need to hear about how little privilege you have. You keep telling everyone how many APs you’re self-studying for and how little time you have and how it’s so unfair that you can’t go anywhere over breaks because you have so little money, but I know you told your parents that you couldn’t go anywhere over break because of all the APs you need to study for. What’s more, you need to stop telling everyone that I think I’m better than you because I “get better grades because * try harder.” That’s how the system usually works, but I’m not being a b*tch about junior year. You are. So if you really want to go to your precious Ivy school, get off your procrastinating little butt and stop blaming me for my effort and my parents’ money. What’s more, actually trying something wouldn’t hurt you. Being a member of 15 different clubs and only showing up for meetings when it’s convenient because you spend the rest of the time telling everyone how many clubs you’re in isn’t going to get you anywhere. As a newspaper editor who actually put time and hard work into a club I was interested in, I don’t want to edit your crappy articles that you admit were probably bad because you wrote them so late, and colleges don’t want to see the equivalent of that in their applications. Take ownership of your life and stop trying to pin things on other people.</p>
<p>Dear girl who always needs to be the victim,
Grow up! Your in an honors class, stop cheating! I tried to confront you KINDLY and then you go tell everybody what a bad person I am. You seriously think you’re going to Harvard?! As if. You copy everyone homework AND you cheat on tests. Cheat once more, and everybody will tell the teacher.</p>
<p>I don’t me to be a judgmental little b*tch, but I’m going to do so anyway, just for the sake of all the stressed CCers here.</p>
<p>For those of you with relationship problems, move on.</p>
<p>One of you cheated on your girlfriend. Bad move. Definitely bad, and it was the result of your own actions. A few of you are crushing on someone and have been for some time now. Make your move or get the ***** over that person. Think about all the thought, all the effort, all the time spent thinking about them or worrying about things related to them - think about what you could be doing with all of that time and effort. As a person who’s had a crush on someone for the past two years, I have to say that it was a fabulous way of wasting time. In the end, here’s what it comes down to - you’re in high school. Sorry to be so damn pessimistic, but despite all the bull***** love stories you hear, you’re not going to meet your true love in high school and live happily ever after. At this moment, relationships are a distraction from what will really count in the end of these few years - your academic achievements. I look back at the months that I was infatuated with this girl, and I often regret it. Yeah, I was happy at times, but in addition to that, it was a lot of stress, a lot of time, effort, and even $$ spent that could have been so beneficial to me now, but it’s all wasted. Why? Because it was just a high school relationship, and like the rest, it came and went. So for the people crushing on someone, you can listen to me and move on already, or you can go through the entire process, get your heart broken, and wish you had listened to me and moved on already. In the end, it just won’t work out.</p>
<p>For those who are super competitive and stressed out because of other people -
Chill the ***** out. Seriously, these problems are all in your head. Yeah, people are d<em>cks and arrogant jerks and cocky bastards, but what can you do about it? Chill the </em>** out is what you can do about it. That guy that won’t stop bragging about how much better than you he is? Ignore him. Better yet, let him brag. Egg him on. Inflate his ego, let it get to his head. It’ll bite him in the a$s later on.
I know it sounds stupid, but just try this - worry only about your own achievements, your own problems, and your own future. Don’t worry about what other are doing. Don’t worry about what others are saying. Here’s the trick though - give everything your absolute best. Put your heart into everything. Don’t get discouraged by people who try to bring you down with them or people who are getting to your head. Don’t let them. Be the best you can be, and mind your own damn business and you’ll be all set. </p>
<p>Yeah, what I’m saying might sound like bull*****, and I don’t have all the answers to your problems… but I have my own experiences. I was the arrogant jerk at one point, and I’ve been the one put down by arrogant jerks at other points. I’ve been the one crushing on that girl, and I’ve been cheated on and had my heart broken as well. </p>
<p>What is clear, however, is that the majority of the problems here are very petty problems.
Lots of you are being quite judgmental of others (myself included), and oftentimes people are jerks because of other situations they may be dealing with in life (although a lot of people are just ■■■■■■■■ a$sholes in general). So all I have to say about these things in general is to be kind to all these people, be humble in your own achievements, and mind your own situation - don’t let others get to your head. Also, put your heart into your work, and anything else that you believe will truly matter a few years down the line. </p>
<p>Seriously, high school is not as serious and challenging as you all make it out to be. You’re making it far more difficult than it is. Just be good and do amazing things, and ignore the rest.</p>
<p>Dear life,</p>
<p>I just wanna party </p>
<p>woeishe</p>
<p>Dear H,
Thanks for making my life even worse. You really shouldn’t have. Really. Why would a person EVER ask someone’s crush out to prom for them without their consent? Now school will be humiliating and I will hate myself. Thanks for ruining the illusion man.</p>
<p>Dear Mr. Baird,
**** you.
mr henri teaches way better than you
stop grouping me into the category of people who don’t work; nor should you group me into the category of hardworkers who just can’t get it all together. I cannot, nor can anyone, fit into a label.</p>
<p>Dear Ms Chen,
also **** you. F******************CK YOU!</p>
<p>Dear Mom,
I love you but can’t you see I’m really suffering here? Help!</p>
<p>Dear D-
you suck. go catch herpes with your stupid casual sex thing. I thought boys were okay with sleeping with anything with legs, but I guess i’m too ugly or something.</p>
<p>Also, 4chan /adv/isors:
the *<strong><em>? You say girls have all the power in relationships and courtship. THE *</em></strong>?!?! Not true at all apparently.</p>
<p>@mrfairladyz:</p>
<p>First off, your post had some really wonderful sentiments, and I thank you for them. It’s true – a lot of our problems are simply within our own minds, and we should really get past them. And the encouragement is always appreciated. </p>
<p>The thing is, I created this thread for the express purpose of exposing our own private frustrations. Some of them may be petty and overly-concerned with others (my own definitely included), but most of us know that. That’s why we generally haven’t expressed them, and bottling them up tends to just lead to them increasing. I was hoping that, by expressing our private gripes in an environment where everyone has them and therefore wouldn’t become overly judgmental of other posters, perhaps a catharsis of some sort might take place. </p>
<p>Everyone needs a place to vent. I was simply hoping to create one. </p>
<p>Thank you again for being a voice of positivity on this thread! Sometimes, we all need a little pick-me-up. :)</p>
<p>Dear Aero,</p>
<p>Why can’t life come with a personalized instruction manual?</p>
