Well Kimk, I'd try... but you've not actually stated what's wrong...

If it wasn't for the inky blackness of the night you wouldn't appreciate the brilliance of the stars...

Yeah, what Lutx said. Need a bit more info.

You need to tell us what is wrong before we can help (soothing voice)

the main problem is my experience with anonymous guys. anyways, thanks. i'm gonna try one more time and last about 5 more years. i reckon i can do it - eventhough i might end up messing up.

Have you ever seen the first time a baby learns to walk?..


here you are in the living room, with the older brother and sister and mom and dad. And there you are sitting at a corner like a blob of meat. and then you saw your brother walk, and you think that's cool. and then you saw your sister skips, and you think, well, that's cool too. You look down at your feet and you saw two blob of meat and a big white diaper in between. You wonder if you can walk and skip like your borthers and sisters. So you crawl up to the table, and try to stand up. and guess what...out of a sudden you loose your balance and fall on your back. Luckily there's a pillow behind there, and your oversize diaper soften your fall. You are not hurt.

but frustration settled in and you cried....

but then mom picks you up and said "it's ok, don't worry, lets try again, you can do it. Yes you can do it. Come on, you can do it" and she straigthen you up and show you across the room where dad is waiting. And he is going "come here, come here, you can do it, come on". You tried walking again, and fall again, and you cried, and mom and dad keep encouraging you to do it. You don't understand why it is so hard to walk. You wanted to give up, but there was too much peer pressure. Big sis and bro can walk. Slowly and surely, you took your steps again..

frustation , failure and meesing up is just part of growing up. It doesn't matter who situation you are in now, but what matters is what you do with it...

well, thanks for that one unpro.. but i don't have the meaty legs and a huge diaper in between (symbolically of course)

If this is all about going to an English school (I might have misunderstood sth though), so I see no problem here - your English is fine, meeting other folks should be fun, since you seem to be pretty sociable. Why worry. Look, when I entered my University, I didn't know how to make a simple sentence in English (I learned German at school), and I got a teacher from US who didn't know a word in my language. That made communication, not to speak about studying, kinda complicated. Still I survived

Hey Kimk, don't worry about messing up, it happens all the time to everyone. No-one is perfect, trust me. Always be yourself, the moment you try something else is when everything tends to go wrong. I've had months of stress and bad news but the thing I have taken away with me is to live the way I want to and not the way others want me to. Your english is fine by the way so no worries there
You'll be fine I'm sure, just keep smiling

Don't worry if you're messed up, so is life.

@kimk:Whats Wrong with Ur English?.. I see nothing wrong... seems fine to me... I think You maybe working too hard.. or under pressure... relax...
@unpro:LOL

argh i'm never gonna get paid, Goodbye a million credits

no, there is nothing wrong with his english. In that you are right but the point is his english is so good that a 2-way communication with his old folks is damnright hard.

@ kimk

from my point of view you have 2 options.

1> learn your parents english, in other words teach them.

2> this might seem simple to you but brush up on your korean or the language that you otherwise use for communication with your parents.

i have a problem understanding this...

..you speak the english?
your parents dont?
you cant talk to your parents?

if so:
what do they speak?
where are you?
how have you managed so far?

my parents speak english half as well as unpro can speak english ( i htink) so means of advanced communication between me and my parents is difficult, but communication still exists. that is by means of multi-languges to make up for lack of effieicny of other languages. we use mandarin, korean and english mix to communicate basic stuff. so if thats all i can do with 3 languages combined, think of how my parents can cope with english at advanced levels.
and how have i been coping so far? just basically sulking i guess - a big reason for my lack of social effectiveness i guess.

Hmm I always thought you were swedish Kimk, oh well. All in all though, being a teenager sucks, so learn to trust your own instincts and think clearly before acting. Weigh up the good points and bad points of a particular choice and make your decision based on that.

And more importantly than any other wisdom I can bestow on you, is to make sure that you can look at yourself in the mirror every morning. Keep high moral values and never take advantage of those less fortunate than you.

Edit: Oh and no-one is going to do it for you, you have to get off your ass and make it happen. Like the US army says, "Be the best that you can be." Not that im saying join the army, it's just a good quote.
