    I'm a little ticked off. My parents and I went to the movies (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). We normally go to (Movie theatre 2 because of Mom's SCENE card) but today we had to go to (Movie theatre 1 which Mom haven't been in a LONG while) anyway. Dad has this very annoying habbit of when getting out of the car of locking the door. Today when we parked in the parking lot of the plaza area-Dad told me to wait for Mom to open up my door and then he LOCKED the door when I was waiting. I then I screamed and then both the parents lectured me and saying I should learn to make a joke. I mean Dad shouldn't tell me to wait for Mom to open the door and then lock the f- doors

    Hello @MadameLee
    Sometimes people do things unconsciously, out of habit, without thinking what they are doing. They are just used to doing certain things that they do them automatically. It sounds like that is what your Dad did today. He didn't mean to intentionally lock you in. He just locked the door unconsciously. Your mother would have got him to unlock the door for you, and wouldn't have gone to,watch the movie without you. It wasn't good that the door was locked on you and it would have surprised you, but try to think that is in the past now. You are now home after a movie watching day.

    it's just it's just happens way too many times with our normal car (we are using my sister's car because Dad is having various things fixed w/ my sister's car) and I am getting really sick&tired of dad's always doing that on me. I mean I could have gotten out without's mom's help but sometimes Dad sees me as a little f- kid sometimes and to me there was plenty of room for me to get out on my f- own. But what is annoying that my parents (ESPCIALLY Mom) lectured me. It just Dad shouldn't have told me to wait for mom and then out of f- habbit lock the door when he knew I was still in the f- car.

    I try to go to a day-program twice a week. But sometimes I just don't WANT to go because its becoming boring they do the same stuff over&over again (much like the way dad makes the same plum meals all the time). Sure it's a way for me to socialise but that and Food (ie lunch) are basically the only reasons I GO anymore. There hasn't been anything new except going to the (mall) in the next town or something we are doing a month from Tomorrow (going to Medival Times). I feel like I being FORCED to go tomorrow..

    Hello @MadameLee
    Although the same activities are happening each time you attend the day- program, it is a good opportunity to catch up with other people who attend the program and hear about what has been happening in their lives. It also an avenue for you to talk over with other people how your week has been. You can make good friendships that way, and gain helpful support in all that your life is holding. You can also enjoy eating a meal with others, that you don't need to cook yourself.
    I send a hug to you <3

    no each month we get together to make a calendar to a future month. For example last year was to make a calendar suggestions for July). I wasn't at New Leaf for most of the winter because of weather and chillness. So I wasn't able to make any suggestions of the future months (like May's). But basically the actives are (for example on Thursday in the afternoon there's drumming circle) and I just go home when that happens because it's too much for my ears to handle. Other things that we do over and over again are: VASE (voices against stigma everywhere) speakers (tomorrow afternoon) in Oct it will be "Thankful" things (due to that for us-in Canada October is thanksgiving), nutrition at some point (ie food guide) a self-help collage (they threw mine out but I will make a new one at some point in the future)/stuff about self help (thanks but I already did that don't want to do it again), Yoga occasionally (both chair&otherwise) and two weeks from now there's a party going on in the morning and some Karoke in the afternoon. and if you're not interested in the main stuff you could play cards or games (mostly cards is what happens) and I'm not interested in that either.

    Hello
    Perhaps if you are not enjoying going to the program and doing the activities, you could discuss the situation with your mother, and not attend the program. If you are required to attend though, due to government requirements that you need to attend to maintain government support, you will need to keep going. You could perhaps offer other suggestions to the people who run the program of other activities that you feel that you and others would enjoy and benefit from doing.

    @rosemow

    Update!!!

    I'm talking to my teacher tomorrw to see if she will bump my grade 2%, but I just read in my handbook that I can still transfer schools while on academic probabtion and we're all a bunch of caring nurses. So I feel like I a) have a real shot of passing and b) transferring.

    Plus the major stressor in my life is gone, aka my mom was suffering and being hospitalized for the past couple months and it took them forever to diagnose and see a surgeon (even than it still wasn't a proper diagnosis). But she couldn't eat she was bloated, vomiting, suffering from an upper intestinal bleed, so all scary stuff. Anyways she had surgery on Friday and she's about to be discharged, cause she's like Wonder Woman, nothing's gonna keep her down for long!

    Just thought you'd like to know :)

    I may give an update once the dust settles on how everything turned out, but there is hope once again :)

    Hello @CupcakeViolence
    Thankyou very much for updating us on how things are going :)
    It is good that you are going to discuss the situation with your Teacher tomorrow . She will offer advice and suggestions on what she or yourself can do to help with what has occured.
    It is great that you have read in your handbook that you can still transfer! It will be good for you to be with your boyfriend.
    I am so glad that your mother's surgery went well and that her recovery is progressing well! It would have caused you deep concern and stress to see your loved mother unwell. It is very great that the operation has helped with her health issues. I hope that her continued healing and recovery from the surgery goes very well :)
    It will be very great if you could update how you are going. I would really like to know how you are going :)
    I send hugs to you <3

I would get grumpy nomatter where I am. Like when I was going to bed last night and again this morning I was crying because I was compltley ticked off about more of dad's *bacon* food for supper and I really, really had enough of that!!

    Hello @Minx11 I hope you don't mind but I went back and read your posts about your crush and your exams. I think @Rosemow's and the others have it right. By concentrating on your exams it takes your mind off the crush and allows you to reap some reward for all the time you have spent studying. I wish you the very best of luck with your remaining exams.

    As for the crush I am a great believer in things happening if they are meant to happen in the relationship department. Your crush may be going through a difficult patch and he may well want to get his on off relationship sorted with his current girlfriend. Leaving him space to do this, by being friendly but not aways concentrating on him, will show you in a positive light. It will also give you a chance to get to know one another better as friends first and to enjoy the production of Hairspray. Then when and if the time is right you might find you have your second chance. Here's hoping :)

    Things still aren't the best. We have 3 laid off now for no real reason. Worse yet, we were lied to! We were told there were no cuts!

    Hah. I may be doing some protests off hours, depending on what the staff want to do. On a brighter note, I got some more sims stuff, one that I might sell as it's sims 2 in thai. I don't speak thai...lol.

    Sending a hug :) I expect if you put the Thai stuff up for sale someone will buy it for the novelty value !!

    What a lovely idea for a thread! It's beautiful seeing how kind simmers are, but at the same time it brings me down seeing all the problems the amazing people on here face in everyday life. I'm no different...

    I currently battle Autism and a bunch of other mental illnesses. It's seriously tricky going through everyday life. I've received a ton of bullying throughout my school life and I'm constantly having "episodes" where I go through literally every emotion in a short time. At the moment, I'm doing a major transition to the next stage at school, and we're getting a lot of pressure put on us. We're getting forced to go and meet new people and compete in sports (which I suck at). This causes me problems because I experience several symptoms of Social Anxiety, despite having loads of friends at my Primary School. I am different to everybody else, because I want to focus on my grades to get into a good university and pursue my dream of becoming an Architect whilst everybody else wants to wear designer clothes and have the latest iPhone. I sometimes wonder if I'll even survive school...

    Hello @Viperinelight50
    I send hugs to you <3 as you live with your health issues and their affects on your life day by day..
    Changes in life such as the major transition in your schooling can be quite stressful and tiring, and when you are enduring through mental illness and having Autism, this can increase the effects of how you are feeling also. Also, meeting new people is sometines quite hard and causes anxiety. Try taking a day at a time. Talk over how you are feeling with your parents. They love you and care about you and will continue to give you support through this time. It can help to talk to your doctor about strategies that will help you cope with what you are currently going through in your life and the school transitioning stage. They can offter advice and helpful suggestions.
    Your plans to go to university and your dream to become an architect are very special <3 They are very encouraging goals to work towards. Your focus on getting good grades is so very great. You will get through school. There will be good days and not so good days, but taking each day at a time can help. Keep your eyes on your uni and career goal. Keep remembering that you are a very special person , with so much value inside. Your loved ones care about you, and will support you through all that life holds now and into the future.
    I send another hug to you <3

    > Changes in life such as the major transition in your schooling can be quite stressful and tiring, and when you are enduring through mental illness and having Autism, this can increase the effects of how you are feeling also. Also, meeting new people is sometines quite hard and causes anxiety. Try taking a day at a time. Talk over how you are feeling with your parents. They love you and care about you and will continue to give you support through this time. It can help to talk to your doctor about strategies that will help you cope with what you are currently going through in your life and the school transitioning stage. They can offter advice and helpful suggestions.
    > Your plans to go to university and your dream to become an architect are very special <3 They are very encouraging goals to work towards. Your focus on getting good grades is so very great. You will get through school. There will be good days and not so good days, but taking each day at a time can help. Keep your eyes on your uni and career goal. Keep remembering that you are a very special person , with so much value inside. Your loved ones care about you, and will support you through all that life holds now and into the future.
    > I send another hug to you <3

    Thanks so much! <3

    Hi @Viperinelight50 .

    I am seriously sorry that you have to go through this. I also have a hard time dealing with school like you, I suffer a mental illness, and I also had to suffer bullying throughout my entire life in school, so you're not alone. Think of it like this.... Bullying is so unnecessary; it's just some sort of "coping mechanism" for bullies to put their problems onto other people, complain, treat someone unfairly because of some sort of insecurity that they have. I see no point in bullying. But, it's there, unfortunately, and still is. It's a major, MAJOR issue in schools across the U.S right now. My guidance counselor once told me this... That bullying existed ever....ever since. There isn't a time period or an estimated time stamp because it's been here for so long. Bullying is not uncommon. Bullies have nothing else better to do, so they do that. I honestly think bullies also have problems like any other people, but they make a bad decision to do something way worse. Really, really try your best to ignore the bullying, even if it may seem difficult to do. It might be difficult to deal with bullying, but you have to make sure you have the tools to cope with it. A guidance counselor at your new school, can perhaps help you, or talking to someone, like your friends or family. Or get a gratitude journal- That always helps. Take care of yourself, most importantly. Treat yourself to something once in a while.

    I see people who go through the same stuff like you, as strong, kind, and beautiful individuals. We're all beautiful, but some people just need to show that more. We may never know what someone's going through.
    I am by no means a guidance counselor, but I aspire to be one someday. Or pursue a job where I get to help people because who wouldn't want to? It's always nice helping people and seeing a bit of sunshine shine through once in a while, even when the world is in chaos and is covered in dusty, grey clouds.

    As for the transition- I hope everything goes well for you. I'm not sure if it was your parents who wanted you to participate in sports, but they seriously need to reconsider. I don't think anyone should be pressured to play Sports if they don't want to. Also, Sports can have some major cons...
    Ask for your friends' phone number or other ways of contact when you move. Moving may be difficult, but you get to meet tons of new people and have a chance to make some new friends. You'll get away from those bullies once you go. You can let go of everything now. You won't see them anymore.
    Not everyone wants to wear designer clothes and have an iPhone haha. Everyone wants to pursue something. I see lots of people having a Samsung or an Android at a way better price and it's a way better deal than an iPhone. :D

    Sending lots of hugs to you as you make this transaction and go to this new school. <3

    Hi @Linds_the_kitty,

    Thanks SO much for the response! I know bullying is stupidly common (which is awful). My parents are not pressuring me into doing the sports, it's actually the school, even though it's their duty to help us and make us feel happy and safe.

    @Viperinelight50 No problem.

    Oh, it's the school then... Is it required to do Sports at this school? If it isn't, then it's just pressure; The school's trying to convince people into doing Sports, maybe because not enough people are joining? I'm not sure. Not everyone does Sports. Don't join if you don't want to. I personally think it's a bad idea.

    Wow so yesterday was intense.

    For starters my momma is home resting now :) so she's all good and such

    BUT I went into talk to my teacher and she tried finding every mark she could in my exam & assignments but there were no more marks. My program will NOT bell curve or bump grades cause it's important you have the knowledge since we deal with people's lives. Anyways I was distraught and wanted to go home and sleep and never do anything again but my boyfriend convinced me to try appealing my grade cause of all the stress I went through.

    Than I talked to my parents and they told me we will get through this together as always and that they support me.

    Than I went back to ask my teacher about appealing my grade (she's my 3rd year coordinator as well) so she went to ask another coordinator (someone I'm also close to) for advice and came back with a game changer. Turns out I can go to my counselling/disability center regarding my test anxiety and stress I was under and apply for retroactive accomedation. My teacher encouraged me to do this and to explain the entire situation and be honest.

    Here's a hint: retroactive accomedation = rewrite

    My teachers found me a loophole in which I can rewrite my test and hopefully pass!

    I had to get a doctor to complete a form saying I was under mental duress and was forced to discuss my mental health (generalized anxiety) with him. He prescribed me pills for my bad days when I can't function and such and filled out my paperwork citing the stress caused me to underperform. Basically, this experience forced me to accept I have anxiety and need help handling it cause I've been trying to pretend it doesn't exist and that's never good.

    Now I get a second chance at everything! :)

    So... yeah there's the first update, the second will be to let you know I passed ;)

    Oh! And the school I'm trying to transfer to? They were informed by my teacher of the situation and are going to hold my spot pending the results of the new exam! Just have to take it! Off to study I am, wish me luck!

    Hello @CupcakeViolence
    Thankyou for updating us on what happened yesterday.
    It sounds a very encouraging sign that you will get retrospective accomodation for your exam as a result of your mental health issues and the anxiety you experience. It is great that you are able to take the exam again! I hope that you go as well as possible on the new exam! I send hugs to you ! <3
    It is also good that you were able to discuss your health issues with a doctor. It will be beneficial for your health, both now and into the future. You will receive the medical help and support that you need to cope with your health concerns.
    Your Teacher, loving parents and boyfriend sound very caring people :) It is great and encouraging for you that they are supportive of you. They will help you through whatever happens in the future.
    It is very great that the new school is holding your place for you, awaiting the results of the new exam! :)
    I send another hug to you and hope the exam goes very smoothly <3
