What you have come to fear the most (Jellos story)

Thats right, for those of you on IRC today heard that I might be quitting JK2. Well, its a long story, but I wont be completely quitting JK2, I will just have -alot- less time for it. Well, here I go with my story as to why this is happening.

So, its August 21st and I'm going to school to pick up my schedule. I get a pretty good schedule. I was pretty pissed because I didnt make Jazz Band, and later I figured out all the Jazz band kids schedules are almost the same (all of my friends and my girlfriend are in Jazz band). So I go home, compare schedules with my friends, etc. Turns out I have one class with my girlfriend, which is band (regular band). So school starts, first day (sept 2nd). Im goin to school. 1st hour looks pretty good, I have civics and I sit by a few friends. The teacher is cool. 2nd hour, Weight Training. Now if you dont know this by now, i am a big wuss. I only signed up for this because Melissa (my gf) did. Well shes not in this class. So, that kinda sucks. 3rd hour, physical science. Pretty good, lots of friends in this class, nice teacher. 4th hour, English. This class just plain sucks. All dumb kids, no friends. Melissa signed up for honors english and got in. So I am going to ask my teacher if I do good if I can be in honors english. (I am very good in school, just really lazy, which I am trying not to be this year, and which is why I will have less time). Now if I make it into honors english, I will have alot more homework. There goes some time. Now 5th hour sucks, 6th hour is okay, then we have 7th hour, band. Yay! pretty fun class, good instructor, and Melissa is in it. Next hour, algebra 2. Pretty good class, and Melissas honor english class is next door so we walk with eachother to class (band and the classes are on opposite sides of the school). So, now your still probably "wtf, you still have plenty of time". Now, I really want to make Jazz band, and im so serious about it im dropping my guitar lessons and going for drum lessons instead. I'm going to ask my band instructer if theres any way i can be in band, even if i have to play aux. percussion. 2nd semester (january) we get new schedules, and Jazz Band tryouts again. Now, this is the tricky part. If I make it, Melissa has to make it also. If I fail, and Melissa is still in it, we can only hope for better schedules. If i make it and melissa fails, then I laugh. jk. Then were screwed again. Now, probably if they can switch me to honors english, it will be now or 2nd semester. So, thats why i said i will have less time now or in january. wow my grammar is getting poor, too lazy to capitalize. now, this wont happen if we break up (which isnt very likely) but right now our relationship is going nowhere because of her parents. They are the devils henchmen. I hate them. They try to keep her away from me as much as possible. But anyway, I have to do this to keep our relationship alive, instead of seeing eachother maybe 50 minutes a day max. I really love her, and I know most of you are going to say "but jello your only 14 you havent experienced true love". I ask you to define true love. Anyway, thats my story on why I might leave.

So gimmie your prayers, wish me good luck, whatever you do

Im sure you will all agree when i say RL (girls) > JA (Excluding Jacen :P). Thats all i gotta say.

-Jello

VERY IMPORTANT EDIT: Melissa also has 7 out of 8 classes with a guy who is her 'friend'. Now personally, I just HATE this guy. Shes liked him before, and hes liked her before, and just dumped someone. I'm kinda worried about that but after considering some stuff I dont think its a problem

LOL!! Thanks Xavier!! I also think that turning to people at the JA for help is VERY comforting at times. I truly care about all my friends here and if someone needs to talk then im here. Of course RL should always come first when it comes to dealing with problems such as these but if RL really gets you down its nice to know you have some friends here to confide in as well. I have alot of problems in my life as im sure alot of you do and at times when im feeling really low i would talk about it with someone near me here at the JA. It ALWAYS seems to make me feel better. I guess what im trying to say is that aeth is right in saying that we can not solve your problems for you. That is something that you have to take care of in RL BUT i also believe that confiding in a fellow JA friend can be helpful as well. Especially since there are many different ages of people here. Some have experienced alot and can be very knowledgable and some yet have a lot to live through and learn. This is why the JA can be great for giving advise. There are a lot of people here that have already taken the roads that people stumble on and can tell of their experiences with it. So I can see both sides of the argument but i personally dont have any problem with people needing to vent and post RL stuff on threads. LUKE RULES!!! w00t w00t!! :D

ok lets just agree to disagree. i think what aeth is trying to say is that there are other ways to get help in situations like this. friends and family would be better suited to talk to for this kind of problem. but jello did mention that he cannot talk to friends and family about this current situation so its valid that he came to the JA to sort out his problems.

i dont see anything wrong with getting comfort from friends here in the JA. many members have suffered tradgedies and have heart felt problems that they come to the JA to get some emotion support from people that they comsider good friends. but i think what aeth and a few others are trying to say is that these threads about girlfriends and teenage gripes are not really the dire tradgedies that other academy members have recieved support for. im sure everyone right now in their life has problems. whether its social problems, money troubles, or family complaints. not everyone needs to list these problems.

but i guess if someone really needs to get something off their chest and desires comfor, then i can see why they would post their problems even if their problems may only be minor hang ups.


i said it before and ill say it again. take life with stride. there are many problems one will come across on the walk of life. sometimes you just have to put your best foot forward and keep going.

I cant talk to any of my family members because they dont understand. I've talked to my friends about the situation with the other guy, and they say dont worry about it. I've thought about it too, and either way I will have her, weather she has to come back to me or not. Again, I didnt ASK for help, nobody HAD to help, and were all entitled to our own opinions. Except Aeth, he abuses that privledge! :D jk Aeth, I lub you

Sigh, you still dont get my point, I think.

Last try :)

In my opinion, people cry for attention with threads like this. They want - as bubu said - support, friendship and some encouragement.

My concern is, that this might not be the right way. If something sucks in your life, get your ass up and solve it. Running in the virtual word is in my opinion not the right way to go. Why dont go to your parents, sisters, friends and seek for their advice? I promise you, a real human can make you feel sooo much better than a computer text.
And if you think you dont have an real life supporters... then you have to seriously think over it. I'm no psychiatrist, and I dont want to be one. I have enough problems myself, dont want any more ;) But still, I can tell you, that if your only way to get support and frienship and so on is the internet... you have a problem. And if you have a problem, then you can go to those anoym helpers. It's no SHAME to talk to them, you know?

So, err, back to topic. I dont like this threads because I think people are going the wrong way. And because they burden the rest of us with their problems. If everyone is ok with that and I'm the only one who thinks it's enough of it... allright, I will step back and try to ignore this kind of threads. But please, at least try to get what I wanted to say :)

I think I best stay out of this sort of threads to prevent any further conflicts... so please mark them with a big red sign if you gonna open one ;)

Besides, I never ASKED for help, I just told you my situation and why I'm doing what I'm doing. No, I didn't expect everyone to go "aww poor jello", and I have actually listened to some of your guys' advice, so its not totally useless.

PS. Wouldent it be Danke, Herr Baumgartner, Jacen?

I agree with Bubu. Jello never actually say he will use our advise or anything like that.

PS: Wow, I'm in the poll thrice! Danke, Herr Baumgartner. Und danke für aufmerksam machen mir an der(?) Fehler.

Or something. Only my second year of German, don't mock me!

Aeth i think you are looking at this from the wrong point of view. we are not trying to solve anything. nobody said that Jello will go with whatever we vote for. Threads like this one are mainly for support. With this thread Jello feels that he has friends here that he can turn to for help. Why are you refering him to organisations that can help him? He doesn't know anyone there. But here at least he knows some of us somewhat. It is just for comfort. Again, we are not trying to solve a problem. Threads like this merely look for support, encouragement, and yes, sometimes just "aww you poor boy" comments. There is nothing wrong with that. We all need them from time to time. Please, I ask of you not to come down on this so hard. We are just trying to be friends.

Ale, may I quote myself to answer you?

" I dont want to joke about your lifes. I in fact appreciate you trust us that much that you post something this personally about you."

"Dont you understand? Noone will help you. Because noone is ABLE to help you."

"If you need SERIOUS help, there are a lot of organisations that can help you, anonym via mail and everything."



I have no problem at all with telling your problems. But I do have a problem with this "trend" to ask for help with their true big love. See, you were the first one. No big deal, you wanted to leave, some guys wanted to change your mind, you've stayed and it looks like you're enjoying it again. Everything is fine.
But I'm starting to get annoyed by like 4 other threads about a similar topic. Peeps have a girlfirend, peeps want to get rid of their parents, girlfriend is away and they ask for help. As I've said, we cannot help you. So what do you expect? Lots of "Aww, you poor boy"-comments? Even IF someone tries to help, it's leading nowwhere. It's just... pointless. We cant help you in your life.
I havent said anything about the other threads, but this one depleated my patience. With all my true respect for my fellow knight Jello, come on, what's his problem. He dosnt see his girfriend 100 minutes but only 50, and she is talking to somebody else and his world collapses. Really, I dont want to offend him in any way. I was like that myself some years ago. But... it's useless to make a thread about it. Maybe he would agree with me in some years.

Now you propably gonna say that you have to be open for everything, be more tolerant and all. But I say: no. There is a red line for me. I wouldnt discuss if 1+1 is really 2 (beside maybe in the crazy forum).

At some point, there's just no sense left in talking. And I think we reached this point with this thread. Once more, I dont want to offend anybody, I respect everybody around here and I'm honoured that you tell us that much about your real life. But we cant help you. And for me, it makes no sense tallking at 4 similar threads about something that cannot be solved.

if you can get honors english, do it. if you can get jazz band, do it, heck take whatever freaking class you want as long as you get a a half way decent gpa and a good act/sat score you can basically go any where for college and you never know what classes might be fun (i loved my jazz band and honors humanities classes). as for the GF, well if she decides to go for the other guy, you cant really stop her. if her parents are the real problem wait a couple years and youll be in college. but in any event: stay alive, play video games and eventually everything will work out... or youll die.

if you're this busy now (or think you are) imagine what it will be like in college, or after college!

take it easy jello. relax and enjoy life while you can... at 14 you should have plenty of time to play jk2 unless something really really serious is going on. and believe me, from an outside point of view, your "problem" is not a problem :P i'm not saying this to make fun of you or anything. i'm just trying to help.

carry on.

Aeth...you have a problem with someone wanting to tell people about their problems?

If you think of me the same way because of my thread, think otherwise. I wasn't asking for help, simply telling you guys what I'm gonna do. I don't see how someone can be mean to people in a situation like this. You apparently don't think that it's a big deal.

Hey, Jello. I believe that true love exists at an early age because I have felt it when I was 12! But that was taken away from me, so I have experienced more than I ever wished for. But the upside to this is that I've been able to help those in similar situations with great success. The other upside is I have found someone that I love even MORE. I never would have thought it possible. Don't lose hope, but don't go crazy...I almost ruined my chance to be with someone I love for the second time because I almost did something crazy. You need to be careful, but don't be TOO careful or things will turn out worse.

Exar, I said before I cant do anything outside of school because of her parents. But anyway, I have good news. I am damn lazy. I gave up on the honors class thing, I figured I wouldent be able to do all the homework. But I am STILL going to try for Jazz Band, which shouldent change my spare time at all, except for maybe practicing more. Anyway, today sucked. We walk from 7th to 8th hour together but she was late out of band and i didnt have an excuse to be late. Then in band she was flirting with this guy like the whole time like im not watching. Really pissed me off. Im gonna talk to her about it. Anyway, last of all we ALWAYS have a hug at the end of the day and I didnt get my hug! Anyway, Im gonna talk to her soon about this.

So, if your too lazy to read that, heres the summary: My time for JK2 will stay the same, maybe a little less. My girlfriend is pissing me off.
