<p>SChoe, your problem is that you believe in God. Why do human beings need someone to rule them and their lives? Someone to say if they will have luck or not? That is a major mistake. When you have screwed something, you are to blame, not God(who doesn't not exist by the way, but I think you all know that). When you get nice test scores,for example, it is your victory. I say : Believe only in yourselves,guys! You are the Gods of your lives,not God,not Buddha,not anybody. Just You!</p>
<p>Sorry if what I've said is offtopic. Btw your test score are not that bad. I wish you luck. Do not kill yourslef. It's a beautiful life!</p>
<p>did any of you guys even read my post just a hair above this response?</p>
<p>Schoe,</p>
<p>I think you could have done something about it. Both of my parents are doctors, I have a license, I have 5 other siblings, and all of us ride the bus every morning 45+ mins before school starts to a school not even 5 miles away. Will they even give me a car to drive? No. Would they even take me when I woke up 5 mins after the bus came, even though I was still on time? No. What did they say. "WELL YOU CAN WALK."</p>
<p>2 ****in minutes away and they tell me to walk, which takes much longe, and HURTS when you have a heavy bookbag. I think you're taking everything way for granted. If you brother was delaying you, then you need to tell the little kid like it is, TAKE HIM TO TOWN. Alright, come on now, you cant let a little sibling be the cause of you failing a class. Everyone has to take responsibility . . . plenty of people out there dont even have cars and are expected to show up for work every day, even much farther than my school is from my house. Am I complaining? No . . . i freakin get up every morning and ride the damn bus, at least Im thankful that i have a method of transportation .. .</p>
<p>I know it sucks when you look back on it, but you have to at least look on the bright side .. so community college isn't as prestigious, OH SON OF A GUN. NOT COMMUNITY COLLEGE. </p>
<p>I mean, so u go to cc for a year, so what? lots of kids cant even get an education pal . .</p>
<p>trust me man, i have a car and its not even that fun...sometimes sacrificing is painful, trust me i know, but im sure you can work with it....and maybe it could be your brother's fault, but now you must accept the truth and try to work around it...and good luck</p>
<p>Your problem is you believe in god.</p>
<p>SChoe, </p>
<p>looking back at my post, it seems kinda harsh, sorry. I was irritated at my brother, he wouldn't stop bothering me . . just remember to look toward the bright side alright? Make the best out of this year, remember, you can always take a gap year ... your parents will understand, and if not, well they understood a "failing" grade, so a rejection shouldn't be so bad . . go for the appeal, say something like you had the good grade, but due to extenuating circumstances . . get your teacher to confirm the passing grade, tell them it was just a bunch of miscommunication . .
you can always try, tell us how it goes if you do.
best of luck,
sarah.</p>
<p>I'm sorry. I'm not saying you have 0% responsibility, nor that you have 10 . . . I only know so much, but I can only hope things work out for you in the future.</p>
<p>@ppl saying ..."There is no GOD" ...cut the crap. You dont need to preach ur religious beliefs here.</p>
<p>@SChoe101: It was bad whatever happened... but its all part of life. try to get on with life... do whatever in your capibilities to make the situation better. use ur backup plans. And in future ONLY rely on yourself and take SOLID steps from day 1 when u think something's gonna affect any serious business of urs i.e. education, health, family etc. And even after all these efforts/precautions... believe me ..LIFE is full of worst surprises. Good luck and i hope u get success in future!</p>
<p>exactly..don't preach your religous garbage on CC...</p>
<p>yeah god's screwing just with you, it's not like anyone else had any problems with more serious things in high school, stop being so damn overdramatic. My mom had cancer my hwole high school and died my senior year, but you do what you can and you suck it up.</p>

<p>Seriously. I have a friend whose father had a stroke and died with absolutely no advance warning. I'd be much more sympathetic to her crying about God playing around, but incidentally, she never did.</p>
<p>You know, it's real easy to believe in god when nothing bad has ever happened to you.</p>
<p>When I was 15, my mother died of cancer. Two months prior to her diagnoses my brother was diagnosed with a completely unrelated cancer and came close to death many times. Years later, due to the radiation treatment my brother received during his chemo treatments, he has less than a 25% breathing capacity and is on oxygen waiting (if he can live long enough) to receive a dual lung transplant. Up until my mother's death, I prayed practically every SINGLE moment for god to spare my mother's life and to heal my brother. You know what, god never listened.</p>
<p>So bananainpyjamas, do you have sympathy for me? I doubt it.</p>

<p>If you believe in God and/or are any type of Christian, it is foolish of you to think that God doesn't listen whenever your prayeres aren't answered. If you don't believe he listens, you shoudn't believe in God. Simple.</p>
<p>And to you all posting your various tragedies, it is very sad that these things happened to you, and none of them should be trivialized, however, there is NO EXCUSE for you using traumatic times in your life to not only divert the OPs original topic, but to trialize less traumatic events like college rejection.</p>
<p>I agree, losing/coming close to losing a family member or friend isn't really comparable to anything, but that does not mean that a less traumatic event means nothing. So instead of trivializing the OPs problem, how about posters try giving their takes on that problem in a vacuum--without comparing it to other things.</p>
<p>I am no longer a "christian". The person who started this thread claimed "god doesn't listen". I was simply agreeing with him..god does not care and you are a moron if you think overwise.</p>
<p>P.S. If you do not want people to critize "god" then don't post religious bs on a college forum.</p>
<p>1) I don't care if you criticize God or not as I don't consider myself affiliated with any faith. Don't assume I do. I'm merely stating that if one's going to believe in God, they shouldn't **** up his personality in the process. </p>
<p>2) The point of my post is to restore focus to the OP, and keep all comparable events in a vacuum, not to ***** about religion.</p>
<p>Get off my back and don't assume I'm religious, because I'm not in the least.</p>
<p>Um, what's with the attack on me? Geez, I don't see anything in my post to suggest I wouldn't have sympathy for you. I was irritated with the OP for whining about college admissions not going how he wanted.</p>
<p>No attack is directed at you. At most, only an argument that the OPs situation shouldn't be over-trivialized, that's all. None of my posts were intended to attack you.</p>
<p>tallkell specifically mentioned me. Somehow, my post made it seem like I would have no sympathy for his situation. I'd like to know what he was smoking while reading it.</p>
<p>Oh, I thought you meant my stuff. NM.</p>
