    Ha, you were never judged. I just said it sounded like more of a bummer to me than inspiring. I misread you, and I said I may have. I'm sorry.

    It's when you have problems reading... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia

    I don't have it badly but some people really suffer from it. I have Dysgraphia too. That's having problems with writing.

    Many people have it, though. I'd say 2/10, could be wrong. You might have it too. :lol: (just kidding) They would've noticed that in school.

    You might think people with Dyslexia are seriously handicapt or not able to live properly after reading those sympthomes but that isn't true. It really depends on how bad it is.

    I have a higher IQ than average if that's any proof...

    There, you learned something usefull today! :lol:

    Chris is so funneh. :lol:

    Don't get me started about Holland, you should know better than that. XD

    @Firebyrd!: Cool. It's not like dyslexics aren't normal. Every person is different. It has nothing to do with their intelligence... they just have difficulties reading, that's it.

    I just realized something while talking with my parents that kind of pissed me off, and had me ready to march in to Penske today on my day off to give a piece of my mind.

    Certain adults there (not all, just some) give off this aura like they think I'm some sort of kid who isn't independant enough, or isn't taking enough of an initiative to be on his own.

    They say this because of the fact I don't have a driver's license and have my dad drive me to work in the morning, and pick me up in the evening every day that I have work. You know what I say to that? Big fucking deal. It is my dad who volunteered to drive me every morning, it is my dad who chooses to wake me up, and it is my dad who chooses to wait there for me when I come out.

    The reason these idiots have trouble understanding this most likely is because (unlike them probably) my family IS close knit, and I've never felt the need to distance myself from my parents and get in trouble because of that. Something I feel fortunate for is unlike most kids my age; I'm lucky enough to have a good relationship with my parents. And furthermore I'm lucky enough to have had parents who put me in line everytime I did something wrong, but also knew enough to let me make my own responsible decisions.

    My parents raised me to be old fashioned and a no sir, yes sir type of kid..all while teachers (ones like Carol who made the remark that set off this rant) told them to tell me to be less proper because I was getting made fun of for being so mature for my age. While I may still come off shy around elders at work, I am way more mature and responsible than your typical snot nosed kid because I've never done drugs, never had sex, and never got myself wasted at a party with my friends. I chose not to have sex, because I didn't see the purpose of going out and having sex before I was 18. Now I'm not attacking the people who've done that (considering one is my best friend and I respect her choice greatly), instead I'm just saying that's not the way I chose to handle that type of situation.

    Plain and simple, these adults need to stop poking their noses in places where they don't belong..and start giving me the respect I deserve as a 19 year old who's already accomplished as much as I have in my lifetime. I make close to 30,000 a year and this is only my FIRST JOB (I beat out other people who had jobs and were trying for the same position).

    Furthemore, I have close to 4,000 saved in the bank, and I've maintained and operated a website that got 80 million hits last year and got me autographs and contact information from big people in the music industry. AND..when you put all of this together I know I've sure as hell made a better life for myself then most kids who are my age.

    So what should be the fate of these few people who try to pass judgement on me at work? Well I can tell you. They need to shut the fuck up.

    Fin.

    Oh yes I didn't read it properly.

    But yeah, I think that adults forget the fact that they were kids and are too busy dictating how you should grow up when these choices are up to the person themselves, they have to grow and mature on their own once they're past a certain age. The parent/adult can give some valuable lessons but yeah I know from my own experience that my parents care about me so deeply they try to tell me this and that when I really want to just go out on my own to learn myself. And yeah it seems like you know what you're doing but remember there's always something to learn from your elders, just don't let them tell you HOW to do it!

    But the post I said earlier applies to all adults and not just your parents :p

    My parents were never condescending thankfully. Instead they just hammered into my mind what things were 'bad' (drugs and breaking the law etc), and how I should be polite and proper and I kinda just absorbed it like a sponge.

    Thank god too. I would die if I was like half the losers I went to school with.

    Well if you look at someone like John Frusciante, he was a heroin addict in the mid-90's....burned his place in Hollywood down when he was high. He quit the drug in '97 and has become extremely successful. Not only that he's a very enlightened person, really smart about life and living it to the fullest.

    He said his period with drugs was a time during which he "sorted" himself out and put his priorities straight. You could say that some of these "bad" things can be bad but it really depends on the situation and the person. IMO it doesn't hurt to be curious with somethings. I love alcohol and on occasion do marijuana (no hard drugs) but I believe its all in moderation. Again, its your own decisions what you want to do.

    But I think the ultimate deciding factor of a person is "are they happy?". If they aren't in some way, why are you living? I think people who are successful but very unhappy and unfufilled are more of a loser than the pot-smoking guy playing guitar on the corner having the time of his life.

    Fuck them. They don't know shit. Just keep going day by day and holding your head up high. You earned the position you are in and you shouldn't let them run you down like that. I happen to come across some of the same situations where I work, but I deal with it through sarcasm and ignoring it. Sarcasm works best for me though, lol. If someone at work says something to me that deals with me not being "independent" enough, I usually say something back with a hint of sarcasm in it. It's funny because I laugh at myself and not take it to heart while they're thinking, "Wow, what I said didn't really phase her". Yeah, it works.

    lol.


    *hugs* though. <3

    The first thing I thought actually, was about how you actually went through the same thing with this guy wondering why you didn't go to college.

    Seriously why are adults like this?

    Who knows. Maybe there are people out there that just like to hear themselves talk? That guy did piss me off, but I've basically gotten over it and moved on. Nobody there is my parent, so I don't have to take what they say to heart. It's my life and I choose how I want to live it.

    But yeah, just move on and try to ignore it. If it gets too much, I guess you can go up to whomever is doing that to you and confront them?

    True.

    There's another thing I need to let out though. There's like this girl who works for the government (insurance department) for a state thats below mine and like I really want her to come up here.

    Dont know how to make that happen though. Suggestions? :p
