  • ummmmmmmmmmmm, I hate school, and possibly myself. (pls read all)

    Tommorow (Friday) is a near perfect day. Perfect Lunch (fish ‘n chips) Perfect Schedual (Languages and Topic). BUT I DUN LIKE TRUMPET! NOR PE!

    Why I HATE Trumpet:

    hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, lets start this rant.

    Sooooooo, I just don’t enjoy it. I also sometimes dislike my teacher, but he’s ok.
    BUT I MEAN, I HAVE NO TIME TO DO THE HOMEWORK! WE NEED TO LIKE, PRACTICE A SHEET! AND IF HE NOTICES U HAVNT DONE HOMEWORK, HE WILL SCOLD US! AND THATS A PROBLEM! I HAVE NO TIME, NO TIME , TO PRACTICE :\
    When I explain that to the teacher. He thinks it’s just a stupid excuse.
    I mean, ITS ALSO A HARD PIECE!
    KZ,SKSKSKSKDKD,,D,DKXKZKZKAMSMZMZZMMSMZMZMZK, I. DESPISE. TRUMPET.
    I MEAN, MATHS IS BETTER. SO ARE OTHER SUBJECTS.
    Listening to music is fine. Perfectly fine.
    BUTTT, YES, BUUUT, PLAYING/MAKING MUSIC IS NOT OK. I get we have the opportunity to play a instrument while others can’t, but I wish we could choose not to. Because some people want to, and others don’t.
    ALSO, SOLOS SUCK. :\

    Hhhhhhh, wish me luck >:\
    I also panick while playing the trumpet, so I get slower and loose track, and MR.Teach notices I haven’t practiced.
    Wish me luck.
    Sorry that I was complaining about trumpet a lot. I just feel unhappy, I also get easily annoyed because OF ANNOYING CLASS MATES. PLUS I get easily frustrated, I would: hardly scribble on paper, try to break pencils or shred paper.
    Bye.

  • I don’t really need a hug, I just feel like ranting.

    My friend is transgender, and he requests everyone call him ‘he’. It just annoys me when people still use ‘she’. Then I end up ranting for a long time because someone calls him ‘she’.

    They mock him either behind his back or openly, using his birth name even though he goes by a male one. They call him he-she-guy, tell him he’s going to hell, call him a sinner, tell him he’s a sinner, etc. They make fun of him for being pansexuel, telling him there’s no such thing, only gay and straight, and bi. They tell him there’s only two genders, so it’s stupid to identify as pansexuel.

    When they do that, I end up yelling at people for doing that. Even worse, I sit next to two homophobes during one of my classes. They openly mock him in front of me, they mock me for having a crush on a ‘gay’ guy (even though I don’t), they yell at me for talking to him, they try to forbid me from talking to him when I’m in that class.

    It’s really annoying when they act like that and it just happened, I dunno, 15 min ago? So I decided to rant. Thanks.

    • Thats so mean 🙁 They should should just shut up. Tell them that they’re going to hell for making fun of someone for no reason 🙁 Some people are so mean *hugglez* Hope it gets better soon 🙂

      • Thanks for caring. *hugs* I don’t think I should tell them they’re going to hell though.

    • Ugh I could honestly beat those guys up.

      The problem is how much people think that they are in charge of others’ lives. For example:
      1) “I know better than you, your gender is not how you feel”
      2) “I know better than you, you’re gay”
      3) “I know better than you, you shouldn’t talk to your friend.”

      Yet they have to realize at one point that they are NOT entitled to tell others how to run their lives. All I can say to you is that you must tell your friend how you’re there for him through all these matters. He must know that you care for him, because this is not something he should have to face alone.

      Cheers to you for being such a brave friend, and hugs all around. ^^

      • Thanks. He always shrugs it off, claiming it doesn’t really make him upset, just ticked. But he’s my friend and I just can’t help scream on his behalf. I mean, I’m Christian, so they really can’t use that as their excuse. It just makes me so mad, especially when I realize when I can’t do anything about it.

    • Oh my gosh that is just terrible!!!!! Those people, ARG! Im sorry you and your friend are going through this, and I hope he gets through it okay. Those people who are saying all those things about him though. BLECH. It is so mean that people judge people so harshly on how others see themselves. *Huggles*

    • My roommate from college is trans as well. Luckily, we go (well, I go, he graduated last year) to a very liberal college, and almost everyone was great about it. I know he still had to deal with some stuff, and not everyone was supportive. It’s great that you’re there for your friend, and that you stand up for him. Sadly, you can’t get rid of all of homophobia and transphobia, but what’s important is that you support your friend. 🙂 I’m sorry to hear your friend is having to deal with terrible people at school, though.

      • I know I need to learn that I can;t get rid of homophobia and transphobia, but I just want it to stop. He acts like it only ticks him off a bit, but if I’m this upset, surely he is too? Even worse is that these are the kind if people who complain about racism, sexism, and religion. They sit and mock him and mock him then smile and say, “Well, it’s your decision, not like I can judge.”, then point out the next day why he’s ‘wrong.’

      • The teachers don’t actually… care. He wears a binder, cuts his hair short, wears boy’s clothes, act’s like a guy, etc. but he still has female…. you know. Because of that, even the teachers refer to him as ‘she’, ‘young lady’ and others. That’s what angers me the most, because I can’t yell at teachers like I can at people my age. If I could, I really would. There are some teachers, maybe one or two, who will refer to him as he and such, but most refuse.

    • Ugh. *hugs* I completely understand how you feel and your need to rant.
      Some people are completely and utterly close-minded, and people our age certainly are.
      They have no right to tell him his sexuality or gender, and unfortunately they probably won’t understand.

      But just understand that you are an amazing person for standing up for him, and I bet he truly values your friendship. *hugs*

      • *hugs* I know I should know that they won’t understand, but I want them to. I really want them to. It makes me so angry with them and myself when I see there’s nothing I can do.

    • Ugh I hate people like that. I have a trans friend too and he got picked on so much last year that he dropped out of public school and is now doing virtual school. *huggles* Good for standing up to those people!

    • I know exactly how you feel.

      I have a trans friend as well, and even his close friends call him “she”, use his birth name, and complain about him transitioning. They say he isn’t really a boy because he likes to wear makeup and color his hair.

      Those people are so mean to your friend. It’s right for you to be angry, just don’t lower yourself to their level. Good luck <3

      • Also, as other people have been saying, they have no right to judge your friend for being trans. Again, I’m really sorry your friend is dealing with all of this.

    • Boy do I feel for your friend. I get picked on a lot to for the same thing. Best wishes. *Hugs so much*

  • I think that for some people disagreement with trans/pangender comes from religion, but the way you are saying people are acting is NOT okay. You don’t treat ANYONE like that. Even if you don’t agree with transgender, calling people what they wanted to be called is, as my mom says, “no skin off your nose.” But, if people are not being rude about it but aren’t calling them by their trans name, please, remember that some of them might not want to go against what they believe, just like your friend won’t go up against who he feels he is on the inside.💙
    -that’s what I think anyway

    • But it can be really damaging to trans people to be referred to by their dead name (that’s what my roommate calls it, but I’m not sure how universal that term is). It invalidates who they are, and can be harmful to their mental health. Validating who someone is and respecting their identity is really important, and even if it seems like someone is still being polite even if they’re using the wrong name, they’re not.

    • I see where your coming from, but I disagree as well. I was actually brought up hearing from many people that only man and women belong together, avoid the rainbow flags, man stays man, women stays women, etc. etc. However, I did notice that people who weren’t straight or something like that weren’t actually bad people, or even acted like a so-called ‘sinner’. I tried to learn a bit more about it. I realized that the way I had always viewed my future and the way my mindset was currently wasn’t defined as heterosexuel. I’m asexuel, so there’s not much mocking in that at all. (Except the occasional “So you reproduce like a plant????”) And I’m still Christian. Christian or non-Christian, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just telling you so you know a person can be raised nearly homophobic and be Christian, and still not act like that.

      In the end, it’s their lack of knowledge and their closed mind-set. It’s up to them to get to know the person, the people in general. In fact, even if you don;’t agree, you shouldn’t mock them. Calling a trans person by their birth name is degrading. All the people I’ve ever known hate it when they’re called that. It hurts them, it angers them. I understand they may have beliefs, but getting a new name because they’re trans is no different then a person who’s always been their gender changing their name just because.

  • Today my Grandmother who lives in France was riding her horse Malachite and she is 78 years old… She has heart problems so if she falls she could severely damage her heart or something…

    They were cantering and she suddenly started slumping over his neck. He is the best horse ever and stopped and braced himself so she wouldn’t fall off because it’s almost like he knows that if she falls she could die. The trainer got my Grandmother off of Malachite and saw that she wasn’t conscious or breathing. She called the ambulance and the doctors called us and said her heart had stopped.

    The shocked her twice to restart her heart but she wasn’t responding at all so they rushed her to a hospital in Paris. They did all sorts of things and got her heart going again… But she still was not responding to anything and she still isn’t breathing. She had a bad heart attack.

    She has a pacekeeper as of now but i’m really scared that she’s going to die! My parents are talking as if she’s already dead and such.

    I don’t know what to do because she and I were really close and I can’t imagine life without her.

    The doctors are trying to keep her alive so I’m hoping she might come back to us….

    • Oh god. Your grandmother is in my thoughts and prayers, Frosty. I’ve been in the same situation (my grandmother also had a heart attack) so I absolutely know the state of worry you are in. I really hope she will get better, and if she is up and about riding her horse at that age, she’s strong. There’s still hope yet.
      I hope things go better soon, Frosty. 🙁

      • Thank you. Is your grandmother okay?

        We heard from the nurse and she is awake and answering questions which is a miracle because the type of heart attack she had, only 10% of people survive and 90% die. The next big step is for her to make it through the night…

        Thanks again for the support, I appreciate it, Asterpaw! <3

    • Oh, my goodness. I’m so sorry, Frosty. I hope they can help her. 🙁 You and your family are in my thoughts. *Huggles* ❤

      • Thank you Goldie! <3 The doctors are saying she will probably make it because she is conscious and alert!

    • *Huggles* I’m so sorry!!! I’ll be thinking of her and sending her good thoughts, I really hope she’s okay!!!!!!! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

    • Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! I promise I’ll keep your grandmother in my prayers. If you don’t mind, I would love to hear any updates on her condition <3 <3

      • Thank you, Gecky! ❤️

        She is much better and is talking! I am so happy! She is finding it hard to eat and sleep though… But she should be okay.

        Thank you so much for asking! ❤️❤️

    • Oh no, Frosty! Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I am praying for her and I hope the doctors will fix her up. On a slightly positive note, that horse sounds amazing. Again, I am so sorry! 🙁 If you can, I would like to hear as much as you could give me, so I know if she is getting better!
      My Grandfather had a heart-attack recently too, luckily he survived, but we aren’t very close so I really don’t know what you are feeling.
      If you need any extra hugs, I’m here for you! <3

  • Guys,I.Have.A.Problem. Ok,wo there’s this girl in my class who’s mean to me and I told the teacher,but she will not stop. Latley,the things that she has ben saying are geting to me. Should I tell the teacher again or not since she is flaming mad at me telling the teacher in the first place? I need help!

    • Dont listen too her she is just a really dumb idiot for talking too you like that you are a really sweet and caring person and again she is really dumb for talking bad about such an amazing person like you ” huggles”

    • Tell the teacher, but tell the teacher that when she confronts the student she should not say you to,d her, but she should say something like ‘I’ve been getting reports from our students’ or something like that, so you remain annomous. *huggles* I hope she stops being mean to you!!

  • Ugh, I honestly feel like a complete failure right now.

    I’d been taking riding lessons on and off from age 8, but I stopped when I was 10 because we were traveling and moving around too much. I’ve just started taking lessons again after a 3-year break, and I’ve forgotten EVERYTHING. I was working on learning how to post again, and I completely failed. (For those of you that don’t know, posting is lifting yourself out of the saddle when the horse trots so that you don’t bounce). At my last lesson, I was doing fine; but during this lesson, I just couldn’t do it. It also didn’t help that the horse was tired and frustrated ALREADY from his long day of riding. Looking back, I don’t understand how my 9-year-old self managed to advance enough to start jumping. 🙁

    Horseback riding has lost its charm. It used to be fun, but now it just seems like a burden. I’m not sure if I want to continue or not. My poor instructor is trying to teach me, but I can tell that it’s hard for her. I feel like her teaching style doesn’t work for me. She’s constantly telling me to do something, and when I listen to her, she tells me that I’m not focusing on the horse. I have no idea how to focus on her and the horse at the same time. I want to tell her to stop talking to me while I’m riding, but I don’t want to be rude.

    Some people are natural riders. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them

      • Don’t worry about riding,you’ll get better when you practice. He same thing happened to me over summer but I forgot Spanish. My mom was suprised but we are working on it. You’ll get be5ter eventually.

    • Aww, you will get back into it, don’t worry. You’ve only just started again, be patient and work hard for a few months, and then maybe you’ll gpfeel more comfortable on the saddle, here take a cookie! 🍪🍪🍪🍪

    • Aww Glade! 🙁 You are NOT a failure! As a horseback rider myself, I can tell you that riding horses, I think, is by far the hardest sport there is. You have to be in harmony with the horse and have great balance which is very hard to achieve.

      I’ve been riding for as long as I can remember. I used to live in France and I went to a stable down the street. The ponies there were practically wild and impossible to learn on. But it was so much fun! I remember my first jumping lesson the trainer put me on a crazy 4-year-old mare and I was like, “WHAT???” But with hard work and LOTS AND LOTS of practice soon we were jumping pretty high stuff! 😛 I can’t even tell you how many times I got dumped by those ponies!

      But, with time and practice I promise you will be an AMAZING rider! 🙂 To ride you have to be fearless (I’m so fearless because of riding horses that people think I’m crazy! 😛 )

      And don’t give up! If you do, you will regret it. Horses are amazing animals! 😀

      And from what I heard, maybe that stable isn’t the right one for you? It also depends on the horse/pony… I think it’s best if you learn on a schoolmaster unlike I did, because you won’t develop bad habits. I would go for an older gelding maybe because mares are a little bossy… but it depends on the horse. Right now I am riding a bunch of different horses (2 geldings, and 3 mares!) and my favorite is a bay gelding called Falkor. 🙂

      Oh and posting is easy once you get the hang of it! Basically sit the trot so you know the horses’s rhythm first. Then start posting slowly and lift your butt out of the saddle when the horse’s outside shoulder goes forward! Or, start practicing in the walk before advancing to posting in the trot. Do whatever is best for you!

      To focus on the horse and trainer, first get a forward impulsion in the gait you are at and make sure you have the appropriate contact with the horse before listening to the trainer!

      Good luck! And if you ever need to, you can ask me about anything horse-related! Right now I do dressage, but I jumped for a long time so I know stuff in that area of riding too! 😀 <3

    • That sucks. I’m sure if you try hard and focus on it, you’ll do good. (Sorry if this advice sucks)
      *hugs*

    • Awww I’m sorry Glade! But don’t be too hard on yourself Glade, you’ve only just gotten back into it, so don’t worry if you’re not perfect right away! My only advice would be to talk to your parents and explain that you feel the instructor’s teaching style doesn’t work for you. Perhaps they will be willing to consider looking for a new teacher for you, and there’s no harm in asking 🙂 Good luck <3

    • Never say your a failure, Spooky. Just never.
      I really don’t have advice, because I don’t ride, but Ill be thinking of you! (Yeah, sometimes I kinda suck at advice)

    • Oh im so sorry i was Riding too but the new teacher (i Call it a teacher)was unfair i had been Riding longer and one of the really new ones learned too gallop before me but hope you feel better soon

    • Aww, Gladey, I’m sorry. Maybe you can talk to your instructor and explain that this isn’t working for you. If need be, maybe she can recommend you to someone else. Don’t worry about how you’re doing now compared to how you did when you were younger. Pretend you’re starting all over again and whatever you do, don’t compare yourself to your younger self. *huggles*

      • Aww, I’m sorry Glade. I’m sure you’re wonderful at it. I bet I’d fall off if I ever tried 😛 Don’t worry about it, I’m sure with practice you’ll be even better than before! *huggles* <3

    • *Hugs* Don’t worry! It’s natural to be a bit wonky when you start again, your body will only take a little while to get used to it again, 🙂 , maybe, if you don’t feel comfortable, try beginning from a lower point and work your way up again 🙂 *Hugs* hope you find a way soon 😀

    • I’m sorry, Gladey. I think the advice I can give you is if you want to do it, you should definitely continue doing it! It doesn’t matter if you aren’t a natural rider. If you are unsure or don’t want to, then maybe try taking a break from it. It wouldn’t have to be for ling, but one of the reasons you might not be doing as well as you like is because you aren’t having as much fun with it. Sorry I can’t give better advice, but I hope this helped a bit 🙂

  • I’m worried my dog might be sick. He’s been somewhat lethargic over the past few days (at first I just assumed he tired and getting enough daily exercise, which could still be the case.) I feel like he should be a little more energetic, though. Likewise, he’s been twitching off and on. (Only happens for a split second. Similar to a hiccup or sneeze with no sound.) And it’s not, like, super frequent. Sometimes five minutes apart. Sometimes an hour or two apart. Enough for me to see it isn’t a one time thing. When it happened originally I thought it was just his fleas irritating him, but I don’t think that’s the case anymore. My mom’s currently out of town and we’re poor as dirt, so we can’t go to the vet right now (who’ll be sure to charge an arm and a leg anyway.) He doesn’t have any other symptoms. I checked his gums and they looked fine, and I also fed him some boiled meat and chicken broth, which the internet said is good for a sick dog. So for now I’m just going to wait it out and see if he gets better, and if not then I’ll move on from there. 🙂 (I don’t need hugs . . . I just wanted to tell everyone.)

    • Im sorry Sunny 🙁 Does he still eat loads? When my dog’s ill, she usually won’t eat much – She’ll only eat certain food – Usually some bacon works for her 🙂 Maybe try and find something that she adores (eg. food – then find her a type of food she loves, eg. burger) 🙂 Hope that helped.

      • He’s gotten much better! The twitching is happening less and less. It could just be because his fleas are bothering him? I’m still keeping a close eye on him, though. Luckily my mom is home so she can look at it too. Also, he’s eating fine! I fed him some yummy treats he’d be sure to eat anyway, though. 🙂 Thank you for the advice!!! <3

    • Oh, no! Im sorry, Sunny! 🙁

      Is he still eating well? Is he limping or showing signs of stiffness or pain? Has he done the twitching thing before?

    • Oh no!! I’m super sorry, I hope he gets better! I can relate because my dog has had some health issues for a while, but she is recovering and I’m sure he will too! <3

    • Awwww! I hope he gets better!! Here are some cookies for you 🍪🍪🍪 and some meat to boil for your dog! 🍗🍗🍗

    • I don’t want to worry you or anything, but my cat was sick like that. I know you’re poor and stuff (I get it, me too) but he may need to go to the vet. If he’s not eating as often, he starts stumbling, the twitches get worse, he won’t go to the bathroom as much, or he’s not drinking as much. That’s all the symptoms Misha had. He really needed to go to the vet. I know that it’s most likely different for cats and dogs, but I’m really worried. *huggles* I’m sowwy. Hope gets better soon. If I have you worried, tell me to be quiet. If you want, I’ll tell you how Misha’s illness went in case they have the same thing.

    • Oh no! I’m sorry Sunny!! 🙁 I don’s know much about sick dogs… maybe give him something he likes and if he doesn’t respond well then maybe he’s sick? We do that with horses but they’re not the same as dogs…

      I hope he gets better soon!! <3 <3

    • *huggles* I’m sorry Sunny! I hope he feels better now. Give him lots of cuddles and kisses for me! <3

    • Oh I’m so sorry Sunny! I’m not a dog expert, so I don’t have any medical advice, but I’ll definitely be praying your dog feels better! My only suggestion would be to just give him a little extra love, just to let him know your there for him 🙂

    • *huggles* he’ll be fine. Like my friend, she had a 95% chance of dying but she was fine! Just hope for the best

    • Awww, that sucks. Being poor too…I cant really relate because I only have seven parakeets…so yeah. But Ill be thinking of you! And also, if you need to rant or just do something like that, its ok. We all need to do that sometimes, and have other shut up and listen so we can just pour out our feelings…hope your dog gets better tho!

  • I started seventh grade this year, and I have two classes with eighth graders (the school is grades 7-8). My two classes are Algebra and Orchestra. In Algebra, I’m more focused on the subject matter, but I was determined to make friends in orchestra. Since Chamber Orchestra is mostly eighth graders, I tried to act mature and older than my age. I didn’t want them to think I was an annoying little kid.

    And I thought I succeeded! But yesterday, I learned my orchestra ‘friends’ thought I was ‘really weird’ and ‘kind of annoying’. Now I feel guilty for irritating them. I apologized, but now I’m afraid of looking ‘too sensitive’.

    Idk maybe I should just be alone in that class??? I’m not sure where to go from here.

    • *hugs* I’m so sorry Cyp 🙁 Are your Orchestra friends eighth graders? Maybe instead of trying to be older, try to act more like yourself? I have rubbish advice, so I hope that helped 🙂 I hope things work out soon 😀

    • Woah. Omg I thought you were older than me! You certainly act mature on the blog!! As an eighth grader myself, I can assure you that we don’t mind 7th graders at all (because I used to think I annoyed the 8th graders at my school too), we think you guys are great!! You remind us of who we used to be, until we found out what stress really meant…. Lol anyway, those kids who said you were annoying… ignore them. Seriously, you deserve better!! Good luck finding some friends <3

    • Aww, I have some with grade friends and I just act like me,
      They seem to like that 😛
      Anyway, maybe that will work! :Huggles:

    • Don’t worry. I know you probably hate me and will ignore this, but do you know how many times I tried to be mature and succeeded? None. Just be yourself. It’s hard not to, and you’re more likely to be seen as weird than when your acting natural. Don’t be worried about it. Joke about it, make them happy. Or just be quiet. I have friends two years above me in school, but that was because they started talking to me. *hugs*

    • Honestly I’m gonna beat those people up.

      I’m one of those people that’s really selective with friends. I had severe social anxiety in my freshmen year (got sick in class first day) of high school, and for that reason didn’t really connect with anyone. I’m in my junior year, and although I’m a little more confident, I still have no friends. Y’know why that is? I’ve continued to just be myself and never made it my priority to make friends. I figured that there was no point in trying to be someone else for other people instead of just being who I am for me.

      Also, a lot of people that age are really immature. I guarantee you’re the more mature one (especially intellectually) and they just automatically presume that everyone that is younger than them is “weird.” I don’t want you to be discouraged by these people at all. You’re an incredible person, and you deserve to be yourself and not care about what they think. 😀

    • Thanks to everyone who comforted/gave me advice

      Things have cleared up a bit. The person who called me annoying corrected themselves and said it wasn’t me, but a thing I was doing, and I apologized and stopped doing that thing. It’s all good now <3

    • You will never be able to fully please everyone, so I’d advise not shooting for it. Being an eighth grader who has band class with eighth graders and seventh graders, I understand your situation. Just be yourself! You’re awesome and extremely mature as it is – acting more mature might make you seem like a wannabe little kid, which you’re not. And some people just aren’t good people to be friends with in general, so look for some new friends you can make in orchestra class. And if they still have a problem, you can tell them that *looks at people who commented* two seventh graders, one sixth grader, two eighth graders, and one junior in high school plus the people who comment after this think that you’re super mature and awesome and they are COMPLETELY missing out if they don’t want to be your friend. *huggles*

      And honestly, Cyp? When I first joined and I was in seventh grade and you were in sixth grade, I thought you were an eighth grader. That’s how mature you are 😛

    • I’m sorry, Cyp. Don’t feel bad about it. You’re definitely not really weird or annoying, and there’s probably a lot of nicer people in the class. You’re really amazing, Cyp, so try and be yourself. Sorry if this sounds like bad advice, I’m really not good at giving advice.

    • Don’t let them get you down. Typically, we don’t think of 7th graders as little kids anymore. (by those means we would be too) but they probably just pretending That there better than they actually are. Truth is, they aren’t. And to be honest, who cares what they think of you? As long as you do well in that class, it shouldn’t matter.

    • omg….I literally just seriously STOPPED WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN I READ THIS (ps I’m sorta doing my homework while reading these) I am having THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM with the eighth graders. See, I got into chamber, but then the eighth graders sometimes don’t listen to me and they sorta ignore me.

      Then I overheard them talking one day that I didn’t deserve to be in chamber, and that some other kid deserved more…and I feel guilty and irritated ever since. Then we were performing a song to the class, one of the chamber eighth graders said I needed to be louder while I was playing my part. So I apologized and said I would work on it. But then she and her friend started questioning me “Are you ok? You seem down?” I lied and said no even though I WAS troubled, but I was scared that they would figure out that I overheard them talking (Yeah, maybe I WAS eavesdropping, but in my defense, I DID here my name so…ya). Now I just feel really guilty. Also, they are basically probably a bit jealous because seventh graders don’t usually get into Chamber ensemble. So yeah….woof! Ive totally been meaning to rant about this, but didn’t really have the time to write a whole “story” about it. Just some advice please tho?? Lots of people in orchestra deserve to be in chamber ensemble, but theres only 4 people allowed. And I’m one of them. So, ya. Anyway, Cypresswind ill be thinking of you…seriously.

  • I have a depressed friend. She never seems happy, and when she is I feel happy. What should I do to make her happy?

    • Aww, I don’t know how to really make her happy, maybe have one night where you two go out and eat at a restaurant or go to a place she loves or something:)

    • I’m sorry Ice *Hugs* Maybe you should ask her what’s troubling her? Or make her some cookies? Hope that helped 🙂

  • Some of the eighth graders at my school get to go to Washington D.C. in February. It’s always been something I wanted to do, but I didn’t get my form in fast enough. However, they extended the amount of people who could go, so now I’m going. But everyone had already decided on roommates, so when I showed up for the roommate meeting I had no one to be with. I stayed with my friend Dapplepaw, though I don’t see her that often, and she’s rooming with Firepaw, who was my friend in seventh grade and also likes Warriors, and the doomed Rosepaw. XD. There are four in a room, and I was standing with Dapplepaw when they came up, and Firepaw’s friend Adderpaw said that we should all be roommates. So we filled out the form and I thought it was set. This was not last Friday, but the one before it. Today, they came up to me at lunch saying they didn’t want to be roommates with me anymore and that they were taking me off the list. This was mostly Rosepaw, with some Firepaw, and Dapplepaw was there but kind of standing off to the side. I got kind of huffy with them, which might have not been the best choice of action. I don’t really want to be roommates with them anymore,-but they’re probably my best bet, especially if Dapplepaw didn’t agree with them. I don’t know if she didn’t or if she did but just didn’t want to get in on the discussion. She might be my only actual friend in that group, but after today I’m not sure anymore, and I don’t want to be super friendly with her if she doesn’t like me. I thought Firepaw and I were friends, but I guess not. And I thought Rosepaw and I were on at least better terms. I guess I was wrong. I’m kind of lost XD

    • Awww Wavey, 🙁 I’m sorry! Are you aloud to bring a tablet with you, or phone or computer or something? If so, just comment on BlogClan every time your in your room (whoever your with) and we will all be your roomies! Idk? Anyway, have some cookies! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

    • I’m sorry Wavey 🙁 *Hugs* Is anyone else you know going, maybe you could ask them? I’m sorry about Firepaw, Rosepaw and maybe Dapplepaw, I hope things work out for you. 🙂

      • My friend Jasminepaw is going, but she already has a group. Except for Dapplepaw. That’s literally all I know. That’s the thing, everyone has groups already, and none of my super close friends are going.

          • I took a quick look, and Mistpaw is going and she has always been relatively nice to me, but she has a whole bunch of friends and I bet she already has a group, since she has a whole bunch of friends. That’s the thing – I don’t know who has a group and who doesn’t.

            • Maybe you should ask the teachers for a list? Or maybe ask a teacher if you can go in a 5, because you can’t find anyone?

    • Wavey, I’m so sorry. *huggles* Maybe try talking to Dapplepaw in private, find out whats going on. When she says something that’s upsetting (you may not do this, but I do, thats the only reason I mention it) refrain from crying (yes, I cry a lot) or yelling (I do this too). Try not to make into an argument. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. I’m really only giving you this part of the advice because I’m super emotional. Try to make sure she sees that you’re hurting because of this, and maybe try to figure out why Rosepaw and Firepaw are being so horrible. *huggles again*

      I’m not sure if this is sound advice or not, I’m really not good at this sort of thing.

      • I want to, but I’m honestly not sure if Dapplepaw feels the same way as Rosepaw and Firepaw but she’s just not the arguing type (which she’s honestly not) or she felt bad and didn’t fully want this but let them drag her along anyway because she’s at least better friends with Rosepaw then me (I’m not sure about Firepaw). And I don’t want to go talk to her if she does want this and it won’t do anything good for me if that’s true. Thank you though!

    • I’m sorry, Wavey. I think you should try not to let the trip be ruined just because those people were acting mean. *hugs*

  • Yep, School has great friends!

    UmHo, no, that up there ain’t true. I guess those qoute ‘friends’ qoute are the smart one.
    *friday wreck train starts in a day, yey*
    Well, I just was playing with my two friends, (let’s call them Cat and Coco) and I was judging their tower making competition.
    I went over to Coco’s place, where she was building a tower. Someone, That I’ll call Peanut (yes, bad name), was making a tower infront of her. I accidentally made Peanut’s cards fell and then she said:

    “Michelle! You do everything wrong”

    Ah, Yes.

    Oh, she is very clever.

    It is indeed true.

    I’m a sinner. I don’t deserve to live. I’m a terrible person. I deserve to die.

    That Is the most truthful thing I’ve ever said in my life.

    • No cinder! You are amazing!!!!! Don’t let those others get you down! Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. They were probably just upset that you knocked their cards over, (I can never get anything but a one card tower) you are wonderful cinder! We love you!

    • I’m sorry Cindy! *Hugglez* It was an accident, you can’t blame yourself for accidents. Hope she forgives you 🙂

    • Oh, Cinder, I’m sowwy. *huggles* You’re a wondeful person. Honestly, they’re the wrong ones for getting angry at an accident. You’re not a sinner, unless I missed the eleventh commandment that says: Don’t knock over cards. You’re a good person. *huggles again*

    • Aww, I’m sorry, Cin. Maybe you should tell Peanut that it hurt you when she was rude for a simple mistake. I think personally she was just angry in the moment and didn’t mean it. *huggles*

    • Cinder you’re not a terrible person! Not at all! I’m sorry that person was being mean to you, but you’re definitely not a bad person.

    • It’s okay, Cinder! She was probably just mad in the moment. A comment is nothing to worry over. I’m sure you’re a great friend, and if Peanut doesn’t realize that, than you didn’t need her anyways! *hugs*

  • Well, I’m kind of irritated.
    So I hadn’t heard of Chrissy Teigen before today (if you’re a big fan of her, please don’t kill me XD) so when I voiced that to one of my friends, one of my English classmates overheard me and literally asked me, “Where do you live?”
    I MEAN SERIOUSLY ITS NOT LIKE IM EXPECTED TO KNOW EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT MODELS IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE ARGH WHY CANT YOU MIND YOUR OWN FREAKING BUSINESS
    And then that same person said to my English teacher, “You know, I don’t know anything about fandoms and I think it’s stupid anyway.”
    MIGHT I ASK YOU HOW DO YOU EVEN DO IN THIS WORLD IF YOU DONT HAVE FANDOMS
    But then my teacher gave her demerits for being disrespectful and promptly played Hamilton on the computer to make me feel better, but STILL THIS PERSON ANNOYS ME
    I am done ranting now. *bows*

    • Aww I’m sorry Aster 🙁 But, your teachers sound nice, maybe you could talk to them? I understand, I used to know people like that, just ignore them if they ask you questions, or answer sarcastically. Hope that helped 🙂

    • *hugs* Don’t worry, I don’t actually know a lot about actors and models and singers either. It’s not that uncommon.

    • WHO’S THAT?! (don’t worry we’re on the same page XD I don’t know who she is either)
