Heeeelllloooo?? What’s this? This place is DEAD! C’mon, mods. I need some entertainment after all that Pesach cleaning!

I act exactly the same IRL. Boy, I sure hope nobody knows me cuz you’d recognize my style right away!

I also want to add to Popa’s comment that it really is Anxiety. S/he’s probably trying to look for something to be anxious about (subconciously of course). You can try the Attacking Anxiety And Depression as msseeker mentioned. Also, Rabbi Sapierman’s CDs are great. Hatzlacha in whatever in you do!

If s/he wants to know the TRUTH s/he’ll get there. Otherwise, there’s no point in arguing. S/he’ll “prove” it’s wrong over and over again. On the contrary, if s/he’s willing to listen, then try Rabbi Pinchus Jung from Monsey. He’s really great with these kids, and has great answers. (You don’t have to introduce yourself)

Don’t you dare! Boy, I have some good experience…. (and I’m NOT overtired now, mods;))

Heeelllooooo?? Me??? Driving YOU crazy?? WHATTT? Okay…Don’t worry. Mom’ll send me to bed in approx three and a quarter minutes. Too bad you’re working overtime…:)

Duh. I trying to be a pain!

I used to be the same. ????? ????? ???? ?? ????. It really takes a lot of effort and work. Read books, listen to shiurim etc. But what really changed me, was that I suffered. I came to realize that He is the only One, and that EVERYTHING is up to Him. Hatzlacha!

I enjoy when the Algebra “clicks”, if you know what I mean. But I’m not too good at it. My teacher’s teaching at BREAKNECK speed, so you gotta concentrate! And it can get pretty confusing. If I’m not clear in an area, I review it at home. But really, it’s ok. I told myself that I don’t have to excel in Everything. I never liked math, and I don’t think I ever will. Focus on your other skills. I highly doubt your date will hand you an Algebra test;). Good Luck!

M.: What a profound thought! I loved the end! I wrote about change too. I wrote it after going through a major change that really helped me grow.

Change

Change is hard

Change is challenging

Change is exhausting

And very demanding

Change can frighten

Change can scare

Change can hurt

Make you drop a tear

Change will cause

A twist in history

Its future beholds

An unknown mystery.

But…

Change can lead you

Down a happy road

And direct you

To your peaceful abode

Change can convert

Your pain and sorrow

In happiness and fulfillment

And a better tomorrow.

mytake: Thank you! I’m doing Ok, B”H. I’m truly happy for my friend!

Shticky: Neat! But this is not the “show off your talents” thread…:)

I figured this is the best thread not to reply on, cuz I’m supposed to be cleaning for Pesach right now. So, I’ll go ahead and refrain from replying. See? I’m not addicted at all.

Cuz they want to go right ahead with where they left off. (Ok, now do I get the Outstanding Righty Brilliance Award?)

I’m grateful for the Gorgeous weather outside, and for the brilliant blue sky!:)

I wrote this one when I finally overcame my Anxiety:

Change Of Scenery

My glasses were once

Painted in black

I saw mysery and darkness

Happiness it lacked.

To me it was

Always night

An ugly picture

greeted my sight:

Confusion

Allusion

Corruption

Disruption

Ignorance

Arrogance

Fear

Dispair

Tyranny

Agony

Depression

Aggression.

I was

Alone

Forlorn

In a sea of black.

My glasses are now

Shaded in pink

I see happiness and light

The sight in I drink.

To me there is

Always light

A beautiful picture

Greets my sight:

Clarity

Serenity

Happiness

Contentedness

Fairness

Awareness

Positivity

Reality

I am

Uplifted

Inspired

By a world so bright.

I think it’s a great way of learning. Why let your brain go to waste? I think I read somewhere that we use approx. 2% of our brain! Isn’t that amazing? There’s always sooo much more to learn and know! As for the kids who can’t keep up, they can get help (perhaps thoroughly reviewing their work at home with them). But why lower the level because of them? And what about the bright kids? Are they supposed to stare into space out of boredom?

Uh, Stuffed? I’m afraid you forgot to post with your other screen name;)
