Alright, I respect that. I didn’t mean to ruin anyone’s venting place with my critcism x) </p>
<p>Let me contribute -
Hey you.
Your friends miss you. You’ve been a total ***** lately. Yeah, I know you’ve got issues at home and the stress piles up, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to take it out on everyone else. We all have our own problems, and we cope with them differently, but you seem to be the exception because you come to school every day and make the rest of us feel like ***** with you. Cut it out. We’re all sick of it. You’re burning bridges and hurting people, and for what?</p>
<p>Come on, I want my friend back.</p>
<p>Also, my parents are driving me insane, but I’ll only have to deal with all of this until college.</p>
<p>pfips…They think their subject is the most important out of all of them because it is. English teaches you how to think and how to communicate, whether that be through writing or speaking. Without those skills you will not be able to be successful in any other subject. Science and math? Sure they have some practical uses but you also have to know how to share your findings in a logical, persuasive way, and that requires skills from English. Also, if you want to learn in any other field you have to read, and you need English to become a proficient, active reader. So give the guy a break, maybe he just talks a lot because your class isn’t insightful enough to make their own analyses.</p>
<p>C,</p>
<p>Please shut up. You’re a nice friend, but, honestly, hearing your constant comments on that guy is really tiring. Please stop gossiping about him for hours for some messages he sent. Please stop analyzing his characters and behaviors. If you like him - assuming that he really does like you - just go and be his girlfriend. </p>
<p>A,</p>
<p>I really like talking to you, and not only because you understand fashion as well as I do (if not more), which is quite a start. We could ramble on for hours! :D</p>
<p>P,</p>
<p>Shut up. Yes, I sleep late but I still manage to wake up at 6 everyday. Stop bothering me.</p>
<p>Dear –
At first I didn’t realize why a lot of ppl disliked you. Then I understood. Thanks for obnoxiously bringing up the topic of college admissions EVERYDAY, just so everyone in our class will know you applied to all the HYPMSBDCCetc schools. Your constant whining over your high rank is the oldest brag game in the book. And you act like you know more than everyone else in the college admissions game, when you only make yourself look like a fool. I’m pretty sure I can easily pick 45 ppl from this site who actually do know more and are less obnoxious. Make that 445.</p>
<p>Dear A,</p>
<p>thanks for breaking my heart. I really liked you. Why in the world would you ask person out then take it back later?
Why would you say you like me then a day later take it back again?
You’re an awesome person but I just can’t be with you. You call or text for a minute and use me when your bored. If you use people like tissues then why should I like, love, trust you?
I’m confused. I think you are as well. Maybe we should just be friends.</p>
<p>OMG. I feel so much better. Like pounds have been taken off of me. Thank goodness.</p>
<p>loudphantom, I agree that it is important and that it should be taught. But what we do in english is read books, interpret them, get told we’re wrong by the teacher, and write essays that we get less-than-attractive grades on if our opinions don’t reflect the teachers. The only time I actually recall learning about english grammar was toward the end of 6th grade briefly. I actually would like to become a better writer but we aren’t taught how to write well. They assume we can and just teach us essay formats. Currently, we are reading a book called “The Lively Art of Writing” which I’m actually enjoying because it is teaching me how to write well, which is something we don’t learn much. As for our class discussions, we are a very engaging group as an AP class should be. I find that english teachers tend to be more opinionated than most and more stubborn as well. I love reading. But I can read on my own time. I know how to interpret what I read. I want to learn english, but it is not taught well.</p>
<p>EDIT: and I cannot agree that it is the most important, that is my opinion. I do recognize its importance though.</p>
<p>Dear girl in 5th period, </p>
<p>Shut up about how smart you are & how much better you are than everyone else. That boy you just called a “stupid idiot that most likely won’t graduate”? I’m pretty sure he can’t help having a mental disability. Don’t whine about your grade when you tell the teacher “I’m not doing your stupid work!”. Either do your work, or don’t do it and get a zero for it. Do you really expect the teacher to just let you NOT do your work and still pass you? Oh, and stop freaking out everytime someone doesn’t know some useless bit of information about cats that you do, and butting into everyone’s conversation to flaunt your “intelligence”.</p>
<p>Dear A, </p>
<p>GAAAAH, you are so WHINEY! I’m probably being insensitive, but just shut up and stop complaining about things that you could fix, but just choose not to out of pure laziness. Most things in life require some sort of work or sacrifice. GET OVER IT. I’m sick of you expecting me, and the rest of the world, to just hand you everything and do everything for you…and then whining about how unfair life is when you don’t get everything your way without doing something for yourself for once. It’s time to grow up. I’m done doing everything for you, only to be treated like crap in return.</p>
<p>I wish you would stop getting so offended and butt-hurt whenever someone doesn’t worship the ground you walk on and give every single bit of their attention to you. That doesn’t make them a bad person. Get over yourself, already!! </p>
<p>I’ve been nice to you for too long. I’ve put up with you constantly putting me down for so long. I’m done. Hopefully you’ll either grow up, or find someone else willing to put up with your crap. Goodbye.</p>
<p>~K</p>
<p>Well…I feel better now, LOL xD</p>
<p>To my school:</p>
<p>Just because we’re a “smart” school doesn’t mean you have to try and act so cool all the time. Be yourself, because your attempts are completely pathetic. You are SO lucky I am nice enough to not say this to you in front of everyone because that would be EMBARRASSING FOR YOU. Especially since, well- you play pokemon and flirt with all the low self esteem guys. I honestly love you guys when we have our moments, but damn, I’ve never seen such try hards with lack of common sense! Sometimes I wish I had never applied to this school because EVERYDAY I want to run into the woods and go to the church next door.</p>
<p>To my ex “bestfriend”: </p>
<p>You’re not popular because you hang with people who smoke weed and pretend to get drunk. </p>
<p>To Him:</p>
<p>We’re not friends, you aren’t THAT cute, and right now, I can’t stand you.</p>
<p>O.K., I’m all right now. (:</p>
<p>Dear everyone:
it’s a major d**** move to post your acceptances on fb. Can’t you understand that it’s a sensitive issue because some people DIDN’T get in, and that you come off as insecure, craving recognition and plaudits? Not classy, guys. Come on.
And I got IN to those schools you’re all posting about. But I don’t feel the need to broadcast to the world how OMG amazing I am for getting in.</p>
<p>Dear CC:
I really, really, really wish I could swear.</p>
<p>Dear Rebecca Black:
I used to be really frustrated because I didn’t know the days of the week. The utmost gratitude.</p>
<p>Dear D, </p>
<p>I’m only writing this because you said you go on CC so maybe you’ll see it. Why do you make fun of Norwegians all the time? Why do you always blog about male models and guinea pigs? Do you even remember that we met once and you gave me a cupcake?</p>
<p>Dear T, </p>
<p>I want to ask you to prom, but you’re probably already planning to go with someone else or not at all. The fact that you rejected my date offer a year and a half ago makes it even harder to ask, but maybe I will anyway. My prom dress is freaking gorgeous and it broke the bank, so I really need a quality date. </p>
<p>Dear other D,</p>
<p>Make up your mind. Either leave her or stop dangling our “potential future” in front of my face. It’s not romantic anymore. Actually, no, it’s too late for you to make up your mind. The last time I saw you, I didn’t feel anything at all. Your eyes no longer have that effect on me. Sorry bud. You moved out of state without telling me why, and now you’re thinking of moving back for me? Ridiculous. I’m letting go.</p>
<p>Dear S,</p>
<p>I miss you so so so much. Stop being sick or busy all the time. We don’t have much longer to hang out before we leave for college, o best friend of mine. I hope you still think of me as one of your best friends. We’ve known each other for 12 years, babes. I’m not going to tolerate drifting away from you now.</p>
<p>Dear A,</p>
<p>I’m don’t really consider you to be my friend anymore. After a certain point, I can’t tolerate you talking constant asinine trash about my home away from home and my favorite teacher. All of that “disciplinary action” these people took against you was totally reasonable. It’s not their fault you’re so disrespectful and unappreciative.</p>
<p>Dear colleges, </p>
<p>Please hurry up with your admissions decisions! I’m so anxiously left waiting over here, not knowing whether I’ve gotten into any of these music programs at all. I have confidence in myself, but the wait is still getting to me!</p>
<p>Dear Patrick Wolf, come out with your new album already!</p>
<p>Dear quomodo,</p>
<p>Oh dearie me, I was going to say something about the facebook thing and how some people just genuinely want to share the good news and aren’t obnoxious about it, but then you made that Rebecca Black comment and I must substitute my defensiveness for kudos.</p>
<p>Dear CCers,</p>
<p>I can’t decide whether your postings on the “OFFICIAL ___________ UNIVERSITY RESULTS THREADS” are comical or annoying. All of the people who get rejected glorify themselves, saying how they had near-perfect SATs, perfect grades, 8 published research projects, 16 varsity letters, leadership positions in every club and sport they are in, Pulitzer Prize-winning essays, and incredible recs because everyone loves them. No offense, but clearly you’re leaving information out of your post, or you’re padding your CC resume. If your application was actually as good as you say it was, then you wouldn’t have been rejected. As cruel as it sounds, it’s true. Yes, I’ve been rejected from 4 places so far, and yes, the news SUCKED and made me very sad, but you don’t see me whining about how it’s not fair and no one loves me and I’ll be unemployed and homeless and ugly and have bad breath and no friends and ants in my house and a crappy car. I can come to terms with the fact that as great as my ECs were, other people must have had better ones, and that my essays were good for me personally but not necessarily good enough for those schools. Learn from your rejection and move forward.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
A more rational CCer</p>
<p>Dear Colleges,</p>
<p>Man, I’ll be pouring my heart out to you come this fall/winter. Just because i (or anyone else) don’t have perfect grades doesn’t mean i wouldn’t do well at your school. But you don’t care, you break thousands of hearts a year. And on another note, an acceptance means NOTHING if you don’t give me enough money to attend. I’m vigorously looking for scholarships, but many people have single parents who can’t fork up that much money. Or they have two parents who can’t afford that either. I’m depending on you. We’re ALL depending on you.</p>
<p>From,
Just your average teen wanting to attend her (or his, if you’re a guy) dream school.</p>
<p>Dear whoever, </p>
<p>I feel so stressed. Nothing in life has treated me well. The schoolwork is piling on, I feel stupid, my family life is difficult now, I feel like my friends are turning against me, and the pressure against me is becoming too much. Most of this wouldn’t have happened if i hadn’t stupidly fallen in love with that girl… I know this all sounds cheesy but I feel so pressured. I would love to take days off from school, but you don’t know how much I would miss if I did take a day off… spring break is too far. </p>
<p>From,
drdime</p>
<p>Dear youknowho,</p>
<p>I dont know what the hell your problem is lately, but best friends dont treat their best friends like crap! Ever since second semester started, you have been acting so differently, and it is really unwarranted. I understand that lisha and I have been getting closer, but thats only because we have two consecutive classes now, and I have been friends with her since sixth grade, so you have really no reason to complain. We’re just friends, and this shoudnt change anything about us. I just wish things went back to normal, like last, year, when all we would do is talk and laugh and have fun. Please, just get over yourself and talk to me.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
You should know by know</p>
<p>Dear loud-mouthed greaseface in APUSH,</p>
<p>WE GET IT! Yes, you are smart, and yes, you are good at Jeopardy, and YES, WE UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW HOW TO READ ALOUD!!! But please, for the sake of my sanity, can you please just give it a rest. Your voice is like nails on a chalkboard, and I can barely stand the sight of you everyday. Stop trying to suck up to the teachers and spend more time understanding why you keep getting 6’s on the DBQs and FRQs. </p>
<p>KTHNXBYE
Your counterpart</p>
<p>p.s. I dont care if you played soccer at the freakin White House with the president or not. Just shutup and take notes.</p>
<p>Dear ACT,</p>
<p>I cannot stop thinking and worrying about what I got on the March State Test on the 1st. Please hurry up with your grading (and mailing) so I can feel some relief. Or not relief. 
</p>
<p>Your friend,
Puggly</p>
<p>Dear ED,
why are you restrictive!? Doesn’t applying ED in the first place show that we REALLY want to come to your school? Since it’s a total crapshoot, at least give us some dignity and let us apply EA elsewhere. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Sometimes I feel like my self esteem hinges on my college acceptances. My academic stats make me qualified for top schools but I’m scared that my personality isn’t bubbly or happy or charismatic enough, a fear that has grown ever since I got rejected from my dream school ED. I know that applying to those schools can be a crapshoot for almost everyone but I feel inadequate sometimes, like one of those stereotypically smart, quiet–and insecure–Asians. You know, the ones who get rejected from schools despite excellent stats, and everyone blames it on their personality. I like my personality but if colleges don’t, should I re-evaluate myself as a person?
^Rhetorical question btw.</p>
