Nearly finished Gr. 8

[CatalystiCam]

I have had a hard time motivating myself with school lately but I've been so close to being done, And now I have finally and truly finished mat and science... nearly, I have one lesson left in each.

In any case I am finished L.A. and the final for L.A. But I am writing my Science and math finals next week and then it's hello 4 months of summer and back to regular school next year :D

[Some Dude X]

Isnt summer 3 months?

[jim5cents]

do yourself the favor, intentionally fail your class, cause next is high school, which is one step closer to the real world, and the real world sucks.

[CatalystiCam]

umm, now that I'm not moving I still have one year of jr. high left. High school is grade 9-12 in b.c. and it's 10-12 here.

and somedude my parents pulled me out of school for the year so that I didn't have to deal with drugs, Big drug problem here. In any case they found the only option is to put me in the catholic school ???

[Some Dude X]

Still doesnt answer my question :P

[Kugyince]

I know in NY that summer recess is between the last Friday of June until the first Monday of September. Its usually 9-10 weeks long.

[CatalystiCam]

It means I've been doing corespondences from home and have finished early.

[Some Dude X]

For me, summer vacation = June to August.

[CatalystiCam]

I laugh at the fact that I'll be on summer vacation next week yet I look out the sliding door and what do you know... Snow, I never heard of snow in the summer :p

Like when the sun is out and it's raining :rolleyes:

[CatalystiCam]

Well it hasn't stayed snowy this long since befor I was born.

[DrunkN]

No break for me. (lousy Summer school)

[Some Dude X]

LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Who even goes to summer school anymore?

Summer school is for squares. :D

[CatalystiCam]

The government here is planning to make it law to go to summer school, I say Screw Them!!!

[Dudebro]

and somedude my parents pulled me out of school for the year so that I didn't have to deal with drugs, Big drug problem here. In any case they found the only option is to put me in the catholic school ???
So thier only option is to shelter you from reality? Ok I guess.

Like when the sun is out and it's raining
I love when that happens.

[CatalystiCam]

no it's just the catholic school is the only school near us that doesn't have a drug problem.

[Dudebro]

That's what you think. If kids wanna do drugs they'll do drugs. The only difference is in religious schools they pretend it doesn't happen to thier kids.

That word's still getting the best of you I see.

[Some Dude X]

@Tenser: lol
@DB: Peer pressure?

[CatalystiCam]

ahh peer pressure, something that doesn't bother me. :p

And dudebro I don't want to do drugs, never have.

[Some Dude X]

Peer pressure = Fun :D

[jim5cents]

LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Who even goes to summer school anymore?

Summer school is for squares. :D

people who go to college and have to pay for school, those that want to make sure they aren't spending 5+ years there.

The only difference is in religious schools they pretend it doesn't happen to thier kids. .

what is wrong with getting high on a little G-O-D?

remember, i before e except after c and digraphs...they do teach that in religious school....public school budgets must be down if they forgot that lesson

[Slime Slayer]

i went to summer school between grades 1-2 i think, all we did was play games

[Dudebro]

Yeah Tenser I'm not checking my posts like I normally do, excuse my minor typos.

Cameron, I wasn't saying you want to do drugs I'm just commenting on how stupid it is to send a kid to religious school to shelter them from real life problems. How are you going to cope with the real world once you get exposed to it?

Btw why did peer pressure even come up? If people are pressuring you to do anything you don't wanna then they are not your friends. That goes for more than just drugs.

@Somedude, I went to summer school once. It helped me pass my failing class. I don't see why that's bad. You seem like you need some more education, perhaps your school should've forced you to go to summer school to catch up. But seeing how you are so serious about improving yourself I can see that would've been a wasted effort.

I think 7th & 8th grade are some of the best years of your life. It is a great age. You should watch Stand by Me and read some Calvin and Hobbes and cherish this year. From here on out everyone is just going to try to convince you that everything is more and more important and serious.

I don't want to do drugs, never have.
I do agree that doing drugs is more often than not a bad idea but I wanted to point out there is a big difference in never have and never will. And the first difference is you never know if you never will.

And I think it is important to understand not all drugs are equal. Saying you will never smoke pot is all fine and dandy. Never smoking crystal meth is where you start keeping score.

For the youngsters that have a hard time following that. I am saying smoking pot and drinking might not be a great idea. Harder drugs are definitely a bad idea.

If people are pressuring you to do anything you don't wanna then they are not your friends. That goes for more than just drugs.
True. If they want you to change then ditch them. Find someone else. Better to be lonely than to be fake. You can find friends later. If you lose yourself you probably won't come back.

[Dudebro]

Yeah good point Kong, Pot is equal to Alcohol! I don't care if it's out of context.;)

[CatalystiCam]

I agree, I've had friends who tried to peer pressure me into drugs, Fighting (I'm under oath to only use my martial arts in defence only) Whatever it may be, I just walk away.

As for drugs I say I never will because I'm strong against doing them myself, I never have resorted to that even when:

1) My dog died of a twisted stomach at 5.
2) My guinea pig died at 4 years old the same night. (guinea pigs are supposed to live 10-15 years)
3) My hamster died the next morning.
4) My girlfriend tells me she has to move.
5) My parents gave my other dog away.
6) The reccession won't let us move
7) My brother goes by-polar and commits a crime drunk also.
8) I get pulled out of school for the year

1,2,3,4 and 7 were all over the matter of a week, I never resorted to drugs even though it was offered to me, This year I would say has been the worst year of my life.

@ I don't really like to talk about it but about to months into the school year I went what's scientiffically called "Stir-Crazy" a mix of Stress, Deppression and boredom and I went to EVG for a bit of that time and that is what that was all about.

I'm glad I'm almost done Grade eight so I can just relax and hopefully not have an even more depressing year. So I'll hopefully have some time outside soon as long as the snow finally melts then Their is a lot more to do then stay cooped up inside.

[Some Dude X]

Lol I went to summer school last year for two classes even though I passed them :/

[Dudebro]

I hope not...
Yeah they're much worse than pot. Well mushrooms are at least natural, still not something I'd recommend people try but it's not gonna destroy you as fast as the other two.
