I miss him ;.;
 

:cry: :cry: :cry: I miss my brother. Yah, you people are probably gonna say, "But most peeps hate their siblin's!" But... not my older brother. I was born as a second child, and grew half my life like that. I was actually happy... not depressed. I didn't have any friends; we lived on a smaller street with only teenagers and stuff. Anyway, my brother was my whole world. He introdouced me to everything. TMNT, computers, art... everything. I wanted to be just like him. He was just so awesome. He was.. a genius. He was an amazing artist, musition, and he was great with computers. He taught me how to use a computer, he taught me how to draw, and he's the one who got me into playing the clarinet and keyboard. He also got me into singing, and now I excell in music class, art class, and chorus. He got me into karate, even taught me some. He's the only reason I didn't run away after I started going to school. people HATED me. Because.. I liked TMNT, because I liked art, because I ate my jello with a straw (XD), just because I was different. People hate me for the same reasons today.

"Ninja turtles are gay. Raphael sucks ****." Is all I hear. Well, besides the random insults and name callings. I'm sick of it. I don't think I can take it anymore. My brother moved away, and now I'm alone. I'm gonna crack soon. Next time somone calls me a name, class or out of class, I'm gonna beat the sh*t out of them.

No one likes me. I just cant take it. My brothers gone, I haven't seen him in months, besides the every-once-in-a-while IMings, and I can't take it. It's not fair. If TMNT was popular... like, if the dumb-arse popular kids liked it, I would be liked. No one would "hate" me.

I actually cry about it sometimes... why doesn't anyone like me?

Why?
:cry:

You know, we've only talked a couple of times, but when we did, I was blown away by your maturity. When I was your age, I was no where near as grounded or intelligent as you are. Don't despair over these little mishaps, those kids won't be there forever. Just remember that there's plenty of people here, myself in particular, that think you're one happenin' cat.

Re: I miss him ;.;
 

I like you. I know what its like to be hated, it's no fun. No one really likes me either.

Elite's right. School is hard, but those people won't be around forever. Trust me, I know. I absolutely hated school. I did. I didn't get along with the kids in my class. And in as small a town as I lived in, that made it that much harder...

But hey! Those people won't be there forever. People that put down other people's interests aren't worth it anyway. Don't listen to them. Hey, I like you. RPing with you has been fun. I look forward to it. Don't worry about those other people. And I know it's hard, trust me I do. But it'll get better. And you have us, and I include myself in this, here on the Technodrome. I think you're cool. Hey, I'm gonna PM you... ok? Check for it.

And hey... I happen to think that eating Jello with your straw is pretty darn inventive and cool. :)

Yeah, they'll all get STD's and OD on heroine, like most popular kids.

Re: I miss him ;.;
 

Hey, I think you're cool! You wouldn't be hated by me if i lived around you. I had a ton of friends last year, but this year I have none either. I believe we're stuck in the same situation, except yours is far worse, mine is a gram of sugar compared to your 1 ton. I feel bad, I hope things all turn out great. I'm sorry :cry:

What grade level are you? High School? College is much better. There are still a lot of immature a-holes, but there are more mature cool people too.

i like you, i dont have any reasons to hate you, you seem like a pretty nice person.

all I can really say is things will get better, but it does take time.

Kenai, I don't know you very well, but I hope you don't mind if I offer you a bit of friendly advice. And that is: don't take any notice of the geeks that put you down for liking the Turtles. Why? Because they are so narrow-minded that they don't have a clue about things, and therefore, their opinion shouldn't matter to the truly intelligent folks like you, me and the rest of our fellow TMNT fans out there in the wide world. As Jo Dawn put it so VERY well, people who put down the interests of others aren't worth it, anyway. And these people definitely aren't worth you being down on yourself over. As a late, and very dearly-beloved aunt of mine would put it, they aren't worthy to lick the mud off the bottoms of your shoes. They think their opinions are the only ones that matter. And TRUST me, we do NOT need THEIR kind in the fandom. So when they say stuff about our Turtles, OR anything that you happen to like, just ignore 'em. Creeps don't know what to do about stuff like that, and they ain't worth your time. Trust me, sys, been there, done that...more times than I care to count.

Love and peace to you.

Aww, thanks for the support, everyone. :D

And Skeletoncrew, I'm in Junior High. :P

Junior High? Wow. That super-sucks. It's the time where the girls are beginning to learn their catty ways and the boys are still shorter than you.

I'm so glad to be getting done with my Sophomore year in highschool. Nothing says sucky like that.

Hang in there! There's still intellegent people to talk to (like us! :lol: )

What does having a rough time in school have to do with missing your brother?

I agree with everyone else.

You are what you love, not what loves you

oh and...

Don't take no crap offa nobody!

KenaI...from one 5th Turtle to another :) , keep your shell up.

This is just peer pressure. I went through it, and I know you will, too.

Man, as much as the Turtles our in are everyday lives, we also got to face reality every once in a while. That kinda sucks. But we'll manage.

I leave you with a philosophical quote I made up: :D

"Reality is not a fantasy, but fantasy is a reality."

Don't worry, once you graduate high school, you probably won't see most of those people again. Youll meet lots of new ones in college, youll get jobs and meet people that way, etc. Trust me, I had 1 or 2 friends in high school and that was it. But since then, I've gone to two different colleges and had 2 or 3 different jobs. So I've met many non-immature people, although there still are the immature ones...

I know how it feels to be hated, too. I don't think I've ever been accepted by my peers, and I have at most 4 friends. There are people that I know, but they would never hang out with me, and me with them. We live in a world where everyone thinks hate is a good thing. The days of love and doing the right thing are over...

It's sad.

Oh that's right. You're a real young-un. Don't mind old Aunty Skeletoncrew, her memory isn't what it used to be. :D

The majority of Junior High age kids are still pretty much uncivilized animals. Have patience, and remember, in Junior High, its pretty much all small stuff. Except for the education part, that is actually important.

Er... ohhh-kay... o.O

Wow. That made sense. Most things like that that I think of don't make sense. :P That reminds me of how at school I kinda think I'm a turtle.. the way people act towards me. Just because I'm different, means I'm an evil, crazy, moron. Hey, only the crazy part is true.
Again, thanks for the advice, everyone.

Just hang in there. Things will get a lot better. Believe me. :)

Heidi

That's what I though too X.x when she said how young she was my first responce was...'huh?'

Hang In There
 

I used to have trouble with the so called "popular kids" too. They used to call me names and stuff. That's when I got really pissed and started fightin them. And then I met some people who had it like me and myt life has been so much better since.

Most of the kids who act like a holes are pussies anyways. They either won't fight or you'll just kick the crap out of them anyway.

You know what's even scarier? I just realized that if I'd been an idiot when I was 15, I could have a child your age now! *twitch* *shiver* Okay, guess I'm still dealing with being closer to 30 than 20. :P

You... just... scared... me.


Hehe, I remember that. :D

ahh middle school. I think a lot of those kids will grow up and stop making fun of you.

Hey dude, I've been there. I was the reject in school cause I like Star Trek, dressed differently, plus I was name called, teased, chased, everything but dumped into a dumpster. I'd have a friend one week and turn on me the next. I've never ever had a true friend until I was a freshman. And my bud Bryon is still my pal since '87.

It gets better. F*** those @$$es who tease you, they can go suck their wankie.
I got used to being alone, I was teased at that too, I remember the little ***** at San Joaquin Middle calling me Loner all the time. Yeah, ya know what? It bothered me a bit then I decided they're all pricks and began to ENJOY my solitude. What came out of it all? Intelligence, creativity and an evil sense of humor. I know it's corny, but I'm a Raph type just a female version...all because of the **** I went through growing up.
Hang in there man, it's gets BETTER! Trust me.

Yeah, what some of the others have said -- you're only in junior high??? :o I'm impressed. I was thinking at least high school. You seem like a smart kid, so ignore the mean kids and focus on your studies. You're in school to learn -- ideally you'd make friends too, but it's not always possible to do both (especially if you go to school with a bunch of dumb jerks). By the way, why do the other kids come up to you and talk about how much the TMNT and Raphael suck? Do you mention it excessively? I dunno; just wondering -- maybe you'd fare better with some other conversation topics. :)

And I wish I could join in with the others who are telling you not to worry and that it gets better, but that's not always the case -- or at least it hasn't been for me. In my case, high school was worse than middle school, and then college was murder (and I was suspected of conspiracy to murder, among other charges...). And I haven't hung out with anyone since September of last year -- no job, no friends, no prospects, no life. But I'm an anomaly, so don't think things will necessarily turn out the same way for you. So keep your head up! And wait until at least junior year of college before you start seriously thinking that maybe your life isn't worth living after all.

Mmmkay? :nod:

I agree, Kenai. It DOES get better. :D

I was drawing Raphael and some idiot-popular-kid saw it.

And was probably jealous that you can draw.

KenaI: Ah, I see. Since you wrote "'Ninja turtles are gay. Raphael sucks ****.' Is all I hear," I was thinking maybe you talked about them an awful lot or something. But if it was a one-time deal (assuming you're not a walking advertisement for our heroes in a half-shell), maybe they just keep attacking you because they know insulting the Turtles really gets under your shell? I dunno.

Anyway, the next time someone says something like that to you, though, just smile and respond, "What do you like, then?" And if it's something you're familiar with, maybe knock out a quick sketch of it. You might make a friend. :)

I kinda feel like starting one of these threads up myself.

KenaI, I don't know you very well, but I can relate to your situation. I've never had a friend and it is kind of depressing when you have to sit back and examine your life. I also am made fun of for liking the turtles; my brother tells everyone. Anyway, my goal in life is to get a good job, become extremely wealthy, and to laugh at all the bullies that treated me like I was a nobody. :evilgrin:

That is exactly what I was going to say...

Re: Hang In There
 

That's kinda what happened to me.

But anyway Kenai you can't let those pompous SOBs ruin your life like this. You can't let them get away with this. YOU JUST CAN'T!!! The least you can do is pray that they'll get raped or die from STDs.

Re: Hang In There
 

Umm...don't do that, KenaI.

Yeah, that sort of vengeful attitude isn't exactly healthy.

Heh...I'm not exactly good at cheering people up. But you have my support, Kenai.

XD That cracked me up.

Again, thanks everyone. :P
