Sure, I'll work on that. In the meantime, when you get unlazy and if you
can remember to do it, think of one thing each day that you can do to
help or give back to someone around you or to your school, and one thing
that makes you, as an individual, valuable to someone. Write 'em down.
And please don't tell me there isn't anything. Try to do that daily. Try
not to write the same things over and over.

Yes, we do have much work. A tutor? Oh,ol stuff? Can the tutor be
involved with the support group as well? If so, that'd make things
better, because the ttutor would know my problems.

Yep, support groups are one thing we'll find. A tutor that you work
well with will be another. We've got some work ahead of us. Just wish
I could start that work sooner.

Oh, yay! Yes, they have phones, with a 10minute use time. Uh, we
only have cellphones at our house, and all I have is my hotspot,
which I'm grounded from for making an F in history, which I suppose
I should bring up, but grades don't have much effect on me anymore.
I'm used to failing. But yeah, thanks for the help.

Ooooooooooooh goodie!! First, I happen to know that AIDB does have
telephones for student use, so I'm positive you can use one of
them. Second, most homes have some sort of a phone, so you could
use a phone when you get to your home. If not, there are libraries.
Third, luckily or perhaps you might think unluckily for you, I
happen to live not too far from you. So I'm positive I can find you
a support group. Oh, and if I can't, then I guess I'm gonna have to
make a trip up there to see you. Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha! I've
been meaning to get up to AIDB to discuss some contracts with them
for a while anyway. Now I might have more of a reason. It won't
happen for about three weeks at least, but at some point soonish it
will.

Well, the only phone I have is of google voice, which requires
wifi, so it may take me a while to make the calls, but my school
is in Taladega, I don't know its zipcode, and my zipcode is 35752

You know what? Why don't you send me your zip code for your
school and your home and I'll do the research for you. I will
only do that if you can agree to at the very least going to or
giving a call to any of the resources I provide. If you don't
want to do that then I won't waste my time.

They don't have those at school, where I mostly spend my dismal

Subject: [BTT] self-confidence and stuff
So sorry to hijack a thread, but I'm too lazy to type the whole
address
and all over again. I don't know what to do. I'm in highschool,
at 19.
I'm in 11th grade, and everyone is nagging about college and
stuff. I,
as some may know, am lazy. I hate having to do homework, and
nothing I
do really matters. Making an F in class really matters much, I
just go
to study hall, which gives me time away from the naggings of
the dorm
parents. I go to a school for the blind. I take antidepressant
meds, one
pill per day is suppsedly gonna make me happy, LOL. Around my
friends,
I'm okay. By my self, if I'm doing something, I'm fine, most of
the
time. But if there is nothing to do, the thoughts of self-pity and
self-hatred come to me. Some people tell me the truth, that I'm
lazy and
fat and won't get anywhere in life if I don't step up and stop
being
lazy and lose weight and think about the future and learn to
cook and
clean and iron and all that. Some people lie to me, telling me
that I'm
improving, that I'm doing fine, all that crap. So yeah, what
should I
really do?
