I used to get the 'smart girl, you need to appy yourself' line alot in school...kindergarten through 11th grade. I use to try and stay home alot because I couln't deal with school, either. I had problems with some of the kids as well as the teachers and the work in general. I hope you find a way to deal with this, as it IS quite important to your future (sorry another line, I know) o.o I changed schools, to an alternative school. You could go at your own pace and I ended up going faster than I would have at 'regular' school. *shrugs* I'm going off on a tanget, sorry. I'll shut up now =X XD
