For EVERYONE to read

[Russian Blue]

I don't reply to these types of posts since I figure the OP only wants to hear what they want to hear. But I thought I would live a little ( ) and respond to some of the issues you are facing. Remember, I only know you from your words on this forum so take that into consideration as well.

I have TONS of homework to catch up on because I dont have lunch with my good friends Ive been skipping english class to go to lunch with them.

Now, this is your choice of prioritizing your responsibilities. If you're falling behind on your homework you know what needs to be done. Just remember, your friends will not grant you a diploma or admit you into college/university.

This is the major problem with me on PT right now is two certain members on here that keep harassing me.

This is easy! Place the member on your ignore list. PM Karen to discuss the harassment issue. Problem solved! I often think that some people on the various forums enjoy the drama since it allows them to be the center of attention. You have the choice to move forward or stay involved.

People constantly have been posting in the wrong area and I dont understand why. Its not hard to read the links ,there in bold!

It may not be hard to read the links, but who says everyone checks every forum? When I first came on here I only went to Cat General since I really didn't spend the time investigating the whole area. Don't assume people read and interpret things the way you do. If you have any problems with PT - PM Karen to tell her of your concerns. If she's not seeing it as a problem, then you have your answer.

I have been getting into alot of fights at school with fellow peers.

This seems to be a control issue surrounding your emotions and/or communication skills. Since there are so many other issues in your life it would be a good time to talk to someone. Check out your guidance department for life skills coaching. If they don't offer anything there are certainly other resources they can recommend. Life will most likely get more difficult so it's important to deal with these issues now.

My job dosent pay enough and I dont get enough hours so I am running super low on money (wich is another reason why I havnt got a new horse) I can barley pay my phone bill. Ive been trying to get a new job but the one place that actually called didnt hire me because I wont give up my other grooming job because they offered for my schooling. I cant work at a place like walkmart because of my peircings and the one by my eye I cant take out because it will close very fast.
Id love to work at petsmart but they wont even let you dye your hair!!!
And I'm sure they flip if they ever found out I had tattoos (and I'm getting a noticable one soon) so IF I did work there I'd always have to cover it.
Same with Walmarts.
I wont work at a fast food place because its too rushed the people that come in are also usually in a rush and become grumpy if you do the slightest thing wrong.

I see this as excuse after excuse. What is your priority...piercings/tatooes/hair colour or income? You are limiting your employment choices by your own fashion sense. You always have choices but you are seriously limiting them. Also, I totally see you playing the victim rather than taking control of your life. Many of us would *love* to have a choice of jobs but many of us have to take the less than perfect jobs to pay the bills and save. You sacrifice at the beginning to gain some experience and income to put yourself through school/courses. In turn, this will open up more employment options down the road since you can offer an employer more advanced skills and experience.

[b]I just thought Id try to explain some problems and why I am grumpy latley. I cant not come on PT the adorale aniamls pictures on here make me happy. And I still like knowing whats going on, so taking a break form PT I dont think would be a good idea.

Your actions speak louder than words throughout your life. Many people are going through hardships during their lives but they don't pass these on to others. I think it's great your trying to explain your actions...but in the real world many people won't take the time to listen. That's why it's so important to gain the life skills to control these emotions and learn to react and communicate more effectively from the start.

And before anyone says that I haven't had a hard life, think again. My father passed away when I was 16. When everyone else was worried about getting a car and license I was worried how my mother and I would survive on a daily basis. I moved out on my own at 19. I paid my way through University by working two jobs on top of a full course load. I also purchased my first home at the age of 24. I was able to do this because I made many sacrifices to put myself ahead of the game - since no one else was going to bail me out. I could have easily played the victim, but it's so not me.
