Homework Is Dumb, Not Us!

Blah. My sister's mad at ME because I don't know what she's supposed to do on her homework. My YOUNGER sister. Who's homework is supposed to be EASIER than mine. I tried to help her, but I wasn't doing it right, and she got mad. So, does that mean I'm stupid? Or is the homework she's doing stupid?
She has to explain how she knows a certain 2 squares are similar. I personally thought she sis that pretty well. She just said that she knew because the scale factors were the same. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Her teacher wants her to show why using stupid equations that she doesn't even understand how to use.
Now, I was starting to think about something. Don't all of us usually end up with homework we don't understand, and get bad grades on it because of it? Is that Our fault. No. It's the teacher's fault, if anyone's, because they're supposed to explain it in a way everyone will understand. But they give some generic explanation that maybe 3 people will get, give out homework, and then explect everyone to do it perfectly. Don't get me wrong, some teachers are GREAT helping people understand. My Algebra teacher (let's codename him "Mr. Tom" for reasons I'll explain easily for my real life friend, and him if he happens to read this) is great with helping us understand. His examples start very easy, and get a teensy bit harder as we go along, but only enough that we're challenged, but not overwhelmed. Plus, he's funny, and the students like him. In fact, 'Mr. Tom' is one of the favorite teachers in the school. And you can't help but learn a lot when you like the teacher. But other teachers aren't so good in the help-me-understand department. It's teachers like that that make me miss the days where you hand in your homework and get 100% just for doing it, and then the teacher uses it to make sure you understand and are doing it right. In those not-so-distant times, if you didn't understand, you got helped instead of punished. THAT was fair!
Anyway, thank you for listening to my ramble. I know the last thing some of you want to hear about is homework. But we all have to do it, or at least had to if you're not in school anymore (to those who graduated and have jobs: LUCKY DOGS!!!), so just bare with me for this week, and I'll be back to just whatever next week. If I can think of something. Because these annoying rambles usually occur when my life is OMIGOSH! super uber boring. So bye! Teh fabulous Kaylie will be back next Tuesday(because I didn't have time to make to post on the right day this week).

PS. If you really do know me in real life, don't look for your name. I give everyone code names to respect their privacy. Believe it or not, SOME PEOPLE don't want thier names all over the 'net for greasy old rapist to find! Toodles! ;)

Repeat Preformance...?

Ever look at someone you know, see what they're going through, and get worried they will make the same mistakes as you, have the same crappy life as you, ect.? If you never have, good for you. I envy you for not having to watch someone tread the same dangerous road as you, and want so badly to save them, but don't know how. But for those of you who have, you may see yourself in my post today. Because I'm seriously worried about my sister's future, in comparison to mine.
I'm struggling with depression. I'm a cutter, and I cry a lot. I'm not 'emo.' Just because I have problems, doesn't mean I'm like every other person with those problems. Walking down the street, you'd never know these things about me. I act happy, and try to dress so that I look normal. But you can see the sadness in my eyes. It's that puppy-dog look people sometimes get when they're trying hard to look normal on the outside, but are begging for help on the inside. I try talking to my mom, but it doesn't always help. It's not that I don't like talking to her, or that it doesn't make me feel better, it's just that I feel like I have to be careful about what I confess, so that she won't worry about me.
I think I'm pretty close to overcoming it, but then I look at my sister. She hasn't started doing anything drastic as I do sometimes, like cutting, or considering running away or suicide, and I hope she never does. But she does have some of the traits I had when I started down that ugly, dangerous dirt path of depression. She's being distant, and she's easy to anger. She actually thinks my mom cares more about me than her, a thought I remember having, vice-versed, when I first attempted suicide. We live in a very close family, a family that is a lot like those on old-fashion TV shows when everyone's in a good mood. So that's why I feel the way I do, or why she's showing warning signs. I'm praying I'm wrong about this. But if I am right, I pray that she will come to me to talk like I use to when my problems started.

PS, Sorry this was late. I was sort of busy this week. I promise it will be on time on Monday!

Finally Over!

It's finally Tuesday! Not only do I get to update my ~wonderful~ blog, but it's FINALLY election day! Everyone will stop making such a big deal the candidates over who the want to be president! The commercials will finally stop being about the candidates! And we wil FINALLY know know who will be president!!!!$$
Who do I want to win, you ask(I know somene out there wants to know!)? Well, I personally don't care. I don't want to offend anyone, the candidates just scare me! In fact, they scare everyone in my family. My dad(only voter in my house) said he's going t write in Hillary Clinton, but I doubt tha'll be enough. If Hillary was still a candidate, I'd be voting for her, but sadly, she's now. Ah well, there's always 2012.
Anyway, I think that, to avoid hate mail saying things like "OMIGOD!!!! *insert candidate name* IS THE BEST CANDIDATE EVER!!! WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF HIM???" I should probably tell you why I'm afraid of them. Though hate comments would be better than none at all, I don't want hate comments! I'm to nice to e hated! Anyway, on with the show!
Barack Obama is te one that scares me the most. No, I'm not racist. If his scin was the only issue, there would be no issue at all. What scares me is the fact that he was on a commitee with a then terrorist. What if they're together? What is Obama is secretly heling the man? I know Obama supporters are saying it's not true, but ws if it IS? Call me paranoid, but it's us paranoid people who will save the world some day! One day we're crazy forbelieving something, the next you're al wishing you believed us. Speaking of 'believing', there's also rumors Obama will turn out to be the anti-Christ. I don't fully believe that, but you can never be too sure. I don't want an Anti-Christ terrorist as a president!
McCain is going to be a deja vu! He'll be just like Bush! And nobody likes Bush! Well, his little monkey-brained folowers and Cheney like him, but who cares about them? Nobody likes them either! I don't want another 4 years of Bush! We're in a internatonal crisis already because of Bush! Do we really want to be poor because our president is a monkey-brain? I want change! Change in a good direction! And, under McCain, either nothing will change, or it will change for the worse. America's bad enough without a creepy old man in charge!
So...that's why I don't know who I want to be president out of the two maincandidates. That also why I want either Hillary Clinton...or Ralph Nader to win. Whatever reason nobody likes them that much has got to be better than what's up with our candidates. I support wrie in candidates! Thank God we don't ned to deal with this for another 54 years!

PS, I hope nobody is offended by what I wrote. I'm just a stupid freshman with strong opinions! Don't hurt me! *cowers*
