I've quit school this year. I was a Brazilian freshmen at highschool that had already failed twice the previous years. I had no friends and never talked to anybody, and in most cases people would come up to me and ask if I was autistic or antisocial. It felt really bothersome for some reason.

I asked my parents to have a talk with a psychologist and he recommended that I'd quit school for now. It's been some four months since then.

Now, all I do is sit in front of the computer all day, eat, try to spend my time in some form of meaningful way and then go to sleep. In an attempt to quit my daily routine of frustration and redundancy, I've ironically tossed myself into an even deeper one.

I'm not sure how to feel. I woke up at 4AM and I've been up ever since. I haven't left my house in weeks. I'll probably go to sleep sometime soon. But I have to say, the image encompasses me perfectly. And I feel happy that there's more people out there like me. Regardless of your nationality, your age or the color of your skin, you can be a NEET and a Hikkikomori if you put your mind into it. If you'll enjoy it or not, that's another story, but I definitely feel proud in some sort of funny way.

If you're a Brazilian and you're reading this post, I assume you at least have the decency of not thinking about soccer and facebook for 90% of your daily time, and I just want to say, thank you. For existing and assuring me that not all Brazilians are hardwired to social images and pressure.

I mean, Its ok if you dont know your math, can only memorize things or have not even an ounce (shitty imperial unit btw, but just for the sake of the expression) of critical thought. Its ok. Just dont act like youre the shit. Be fucking humble.

I've read up to episode 7, but my favorite really is 1. I'm not sure if you know about the plot vaguely so episode 1 was a legitimate murder mystery. When the first person dies, the letters about the gold are sent out and the whole Beatrice plot starts, nobody gives a damn about the gold. Yet more and more people keep getting murdered, and it's never really clear who the real murderer is.

Here's what made it good, though: they never reveal who's the real murderer, and they never show you Beatrice as a character. Since the game doesn't takes a step in the supernatural or fiction, you're never really sure who the murderer is until the end. Is it really Beatrice, a witch, who is committing the murders or is it one of the family members who is greedily after the gold or the household fortune? You never know, and you remain engaged in the expectation you'll get an answer to all the mysteries. It's really great!

And then in episode 2, they introduced the whole meta-world thing, kept introducing those crazy new realms and characters and dove head-first into the supernatural. Then the whole thing just went downhill in my opinion. They're still good sequels, but they don't hold up to what was episode 1.

I hate to bump this thread with this kind of post, since I am sure you guys see it all the fucking time.

I am 18, and in college away from home (US), but I am miserable. I never leave my room except maybe once a week to go next door to play Mortal Kombat with this kid who went to my high school. Sometimes my roommate has people over, and I put on my headphones, try to play my video games, and if they try talking to me, I literally start shaking because I am so nervous/anxious. I haven't been to any classes in two weeks because they make me nervous being around others.

I have had a pretty rough life in terms of my childhood. The only two father figures I ever had (real dad and stepdad) were abusive to my mother, and up to this point in my life, I have been to about 4 different therapist, singularly and with my mother. I have also been on about three different depression medications.

There is one other thing, that is sort of hard for me to share, even if it is anonymous on 4chan. When I was about 12 or 13, I had a brother who was around 8 or 9, and I sexually assaulted him. I think it was because of all the stress and anger I had built up around my father leaving along with just going through puberty at the time.

The only time I ever am not miserable is when I am sitting alone in my room, and able to just be in solitude. Even then sometimes its hard.

I just have a few questions. How old does one need to be to get on SSI? Do I seem like I could get SSI?(cont.)

>> No.9738739

I would need to quit school, at least temporarily to get SSI right? I don't want to be on SSI forever, but maybe just until I am able to spend some time trying to figure out how to control my emotions and feelings, then go back to community college and try to find a job after that.

Its going to be hard for me to follow through with because my mother has worked hard to whole life to provide for me throughout our struggles as a family, and I don't want to leech off the government, because I know it would disappoint her so much.

Any help I can get is great.

Instead, we're seen as the comical "gib monie or i report u huehue" negative image of stupidity in RO that basically spread around and created it's own culture in due time. I'm not surprised some of us try to hide our identity and that most people are uncomfortable around us.

At least, this is the way I see it. I can't apologize for each and every one of us, but whenever I'm interacting with someone from another country, I try to be as legible and polite as possible. This is the way we can redeem ourselves for the rest of our culture, and I want to believe that someday the whole "Brazilians are monkeys living in shit-huts" culture will die off and we can take it easy together with everyone else.

It's the same in the US.

For k-12, private schools are almost always tremendously ahead of their public counterparts.

In universities though, private universities are nearly always liberal art schools that cost a fortune, with shitty professors. While public universities for the most part are huge, and have the dedicated expansive research departments and high standards for graduate students.

If you think private colleges are bad, take a look at for-profit colleges like DeVry or ITT Tech. Hehe, it would be funny that they manage to fuck so many people, if they didn't account for the majority of student loan defaults that raise the interest rates on everyone else to cover the loss.

Yeah, the result of privatizing education. I don't mind decentralized economies or whatever other shit the repubs and people like Paul want, but Education is one thing that should be hyper centralized in this nation.

My mother was recently hired in another county that falls in the country and could not believe how bad the students were. She let me see some of their writing for her English class, and they are barely literate. In the same state a county away, we have one of the top highschools in the nation. It all depends upon where you live here too, just past the school designated borders and you have to go to a shit school.

When I lived up north it was complete different too, you applied to a high school out of many nearby, and depending on your grades they chose you to enter. How can you judge a student and damn them if they had poor middle school grades?

All of that needs to be reworked I think.

No. The concept of getting free things as an adult American is a completely alien concept. Some minorities get lower interest rates on loans, but that's the extent of it.

No, they still cost money. I'm not sure about everywhere else, but here a public university still isn't a full ride for me, even with a 3.5gpa that gives me around 8k USD in scholarship money, and another 6k USD from the federal aid FAFSA money. And for the latter, I only receive 6k because it is the maximum money allowed for the poorest of students. My parents still manage to complete the 4k more I need every year.

My sister went to a private university though, and even with similar GPA and scholarships she ended up 20k in debt after finishing her degree. I'm not sure what the cost per year there was, but I know my parents gave her much more in financial support than they gave me. She did stay on campus though, while I live at home and commute to my classes.
The only place you could technically get a free education is a community college, since it is cheap enough that if you did obtain the maximum FAFSA amount it would pay it all off. But there they only offer 2 year associate degrees rather than 4 year or higher diplomas.

It's interesting to hear about your system. Ours is pretty rigged against the poor as well, as even if the universities are free you have to take an exam (kinda like your SAT, only not standardized) that decides who gets in and who doesn't. Because the base education in public schools is shit, they don't have a chance against the richer ones.

The distortion is even greater when you consider that it's usually the rich lobbying the government to pay less taxes.

I wouldn't be surprised if people at Harvard just smoked weed in class or passed on a gigantic curve because their parents pay for that shit.

That's why we have public schools, for basic well-rounded education. In fact, our schools are some of the best around but the scores are weighed down by Africans and Latinos. The most popular degrees are fucking useless, having a degree in psychology does nothing to benefit the world.

Nice joke. IQ and salary correlate, if your family is shitty and poor that's not my fault.
