Ugh, what a big bummer this is for you. You are right, today's society really sucks, you can't trust people the way you used to. You would think people respect other peoples's property and stuff, but noooooooo, everything is free to take and use, just like your cycle now. I feel so sorry for you. If I was in your shoes, I would quit that school (and I don't need lessons now why school is so important, thank you!), and take a year off or something. Obviously that school isn't doing all that much good to you, but only you can jugde that.
I hope your luck turns better now. Sorry again about your cycle.
I could make a long post about something that happened to us (my husband and I) today, but oh well, never mind, besides, this is your thread
Sometimes life just ain't fair!
