Hey MJ, I have been skimming through your forum this morning researching topics as I am not attending class this morning. Long story short, I myself did not follow through. Cue the hatred and shaming. Yeah, I agree it is not the smartest decision. For all the future people who come across...

Thank you for that insight. I recognize the difference now that you speak of it. Every time a crisis occurs my body gets an impulse stronger than Arnold. My gut feeling is what relinquishes the impulse a day or two past it.

To everybody who commented, thank you. I hope you can all see this, but I chose to quote Squatch because his words resonated with me the past 24 hours. With the help of you guys and a few outside of the forum, I have come to the realization that the amount of work I have to do for the diploma...

Aha it's nice to see affirmation of my lack of empathy. I always thought I was missing something but nobody could prove it for me till now. You're definitely correct. I am seeking validation to go on with the GED. I shall improve on my aggressive behaviors and try to be more convincing in an...

The paragraph of you being in school, I don't think I could have related to you any better. I was given a second chance at the end of first semester this year by the school board because they knew I had the brains. Thing is, that pissed the shit out of my assistant principle because she wanted...

Squach that is what I have been trying to say. I have been learning programming and social intelligence so I can create my business online and not have to invest a load of money right away, and know how to bring in clients, market, etc. I think you have it mixed up to where I want to just...

My bad, I was wrong. It has been everyone but one. I've been in the coffee shop the past few hours and two professors came in and I knew it was an opportunity waiting to happen. After they were done talking one headed off but one came right next to me and that is when I opened him asking him...

Aha I like your motivation. I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that not ONE person has said the GED would be better. Not one. Is my idea really that far-fetched?

Read my reply a few up. I know there are a lot about dropping out of college. I am not in college, rather in high school. I do not want to drop out of school only cause I read a book. Rather because I do not want to waste my time nor energy. C'mon man.

Essentially with what you know of me so far, would you hire me if I was to apply and work for you. Predicting in the sense your business has to do with smarts and not physicality.

That is what I learned in the year of studying on social intelligence. I recognized that everyone cares about themselves and the person everyone loves the most is their self. I don't show these people what I really think of them. I make everybody feel special, I know how to charm a person up...

Is that supposed to scare me into action? Welch, this is a serious question and all sides should be weighed with a reason.

Out of all the replies yours had hit me the hardest because it is the most true when I put myself into your shoes. May I ask why you believed that was the only real option you had?

When I first read this it made sense. If I am not going to put in the work I obviously am not going to get the grades. Each time I told myself I would skip out on homework or each time I chose to skip class I consciously made the decision to fail. But why did I choose to fail? Maybe laziness...

Whats up fastlaners, Recently I have been thinking of the decision on whether I should drop out of high school now and take the GED test (which is extremely easy), or to stick it out and try to get my teachers on my side. As far as high school goes, my grades at the moment are half F's and...

Just finished reading the story. The man used his own techniques and the 48 laws by getting us to buy into his book to get access to his website. Just a taste of the intelligence I hope to discover in the gold forums.
