(I needed to vent)

[will.i.am]

Ok, no more denial. I'm depressed. To long have I been the nice guy for everyone to lean on. To long have I gone out of my way to help others. I get nothing in return, most of the time, not even a thank you (though you guys are an exception). I think some of my friends only see me as a car. All they do is ask for rides. They don't even give me gas money. One guy runs to my car after school and just gets in without asking, just expecting me to drive him home. Then they even tell me how to drive! If there is one thing in this world that pisses me off the most, its people telling me how to drive. So that has been weighing me down for some time now. Then I just found out that I may not pass my phisics class. I've been working my ass off for the past three weeks only to find NO improvement. I don't want to give up, but its useless. I have a test today in that class. I've been studying all week along with doing the homework. I need to ace this test and the homework. I also have a project due in a day, but I finished that last week so I'm all done with that one. The class is fun and all and so is the teacher, but I just can't seem to understand the math. I've been trying my best, and its not good enough. I don't want to give up. I have what it takes, I just have run out of time and patience. I'm not going to go out of my way anymore. Now its just about me. I'm sure some people will not like this, but I really don't care about them anymore.

Will, We all get to this point sometimes in our life. I for one think you are a really great guy. But, it is the great and helpful people that others find they can rely on. They attract people like a moth to a flame. Everyone says, hey, lets see if Will can help, he is a nice guy. Sounds like you really don't want to be a meanie, so, maybe you can take a couple of days off to just recharge and do something nice for yourself. Having others notice that you are nice and that they can rely on you is the greatest compliment you can be given! Chin up, I and all here are rooting for you! (well, maybe not Paperdoll )

You know what you could try? If one of them people you help a lot is like really good in the class, maybe you can try asking them for help in it.

Well we're here for you will.i.am!!!! I think you should post a little sign on your passenger side door that says "Out of Order, Not giving rides today!" or "I'm serious, Rides are 5 dollars" or "Get your own car!" Take a break! You'll make it through! Life does just suck sometimes! Here have a banana!!!

[will.i.am]

Thanks for the support guys. Life does suck, but when you think about it, that just makes me even better if I can get though it. I guess the problem is that I'm just overwhemed right now with so many things to do with so little time. I just feel I have no time left for myself. I can't be mean. No really, I can't. I always get a rush of guilt and I ALWAYS give in to it. My spring break is just around the corner. That will be MY time. For now, I'll keep working and just being myself. There is more to life than this so I shouldn't let a little frustration slow me down. Thanks again guys, you all are really helping me! Even Paperdoll

thats sad will, you're a cool guy. I recognize the situation you're in, and can take alot of courage, if they're bastards it can be hard to step upto them. You got our support, you know that!

[CocoDan]

I can't be mean either, just walked on. Mean people suck.

[Umbrasquall]

Will I understand what you mean. There are lots of people that like to do nothing and get everything. If you are in that kind of environment I would just find the people that you think have a good character and integrity and make friends with those. What grade are you in? If you need help with physics and are in high school I can help you. Send me a pm or im me. I can really relate to burdensome school work.

[will.i.am]

I'm in 12th grade. Squall, I very much appreiciate the offer for help but I've already droped the class. I failed this term but I have an extra credit to make up for it. I had a test in that class today. I thought I knew what I was doing, I showed all my work and went through the steps, but I still failed the test. I have two more days of the class left. I feel really crappy that I failed. I've never done that before. I'm an A and B student. I have A's in my other three classes. I just hope I don't get rejected from college now. But hey, it is what it is. I'll servive!

[Truthbearer]

Damn right you will! Don't worry about it will, this sort of things happen to all good people. Its like a law: If you are a nice guy, people will take advantage of you Anyway, don't let it get to you, test whether they are you friends because they like you or because its convinient. If any is the latter choice, then blow him off without thinking twice. Leeches are a dime a dozen in this life, and you truly don't need them..... (P.S. Go ahead LC I know you can\'t resist it......post the lyrics to Leech and get it over with....)

[Umbrasquall]

That's cool. I know that class is so hard. You have only 4 classes will? I've got 8.

[will.i.am]

Yup, I only have four classes. Today we tested our bridges that we made a few days ago. I came in first with a total wieght held of 70 pounds. My bridge wieghed 29 grams. It held 1,071 times its own wieght! Tomorrow, we will see if it can hold up a student. I had to stop adding wieghts because the bucket underneath that was holding the wieghts, was about to break.

[Umbrasquall]

Lol I remember the bridge project! That was fun. Sound's like your bridge was a lot more successful than mine though. I think the best part of the class for my school was the strobe-lights during the light section of the course. My teacher did all these cool things with the strobe-light that made it seem like time was slowing down/stopped. The tesla coils were also cool. Oh man... I got a calc test tomorrow... I'm screwed.
