my sore throat

[Lauren]

- Statistics - Chi Square, T Tests, Confidence Intervals, Independant Measures, Pearsons Exact, SPSS, ANOVA, Bonferroni, and Tukeys. They all hurt my brain, and I have a mathmatical exam on them in just over a week. Oh my good god.

- Drama - People thinking they're life is a sitcom, and think others value their input as much as they value their own input. Yes, opinions are good - but we don't have to all agree with them. And when I go aganst your opinion, don't have a hissy fit - I'm just putting my point across.

- County Construction Builders - The people working on the building next to mine. They're so pervy, everytime you walk past about 5 of them glare. It can be quite intimidating if no one is around and you need to walk past a big group of them.


Thats all I've got added at the moment!

wi-fi connections - why the hell are they so sensitive

[supernoodles!]

1.old people with no manners!God i hate them!Especially in bus stops or actually on busses,they look at every teenager includinjg myself like a piece of **** and more often than not will make some sort of comment about how kids tofay dont know there born,or,when i was a bairn (north east term for child).Its so patronising,i feel like turning round and saying yep thats right when you were a kid or teen what did you have to worry about exactly?eating disorders?very uncommon,the pressure from the media and celbrities to conform to what is beleived to be beautiful/perfect?nope dont think you did,gcse`s/a levevels etc?erm dont think there was quite the emphasis there is today on academic success somehow!I could go on forever but seriously they make out like we have it so easy when teens today have it ten times worse imo!They tare everyone with the same brush and there so damn ignorant,if i am waiting inline for a bus for twenty minutes and you turn up 5 minutes before the bus arrives that does not give you the right to give me a dirty look or make some snide remark when i step on to the bus before you!!Im not exactly the picture of health either lady!
2.My second rant is also to do with busses surprise surprise lolI am fed up of bloody arriva (north east bus company)and there ever increasing bus fares!It wouldn`t be so bad if the bloody sods actually turned up on time!-or infact at all!I now have to pay £1.70 single to go literally up a bank from my work place to home.It is about a quater of a mile.Many a time have i missed a college lesson and almost missed an important exam due to the fact ive had to run home and beg my grandad for a lift to 6th form pronto becuase the flamin bus hasn`t turned up and i have a sociology exam in ten minutes!I would also like to add that most of the arriva drivers are so darn miserbale,like hello crack a smile why dont you i am paying your wages after all.A quick please and thankyou would be nice too.
3.Spots,my face has broken out recently and its so annoying,i dont know why?i think it may be stress as im not the spotty type normally at all but when i do get them i get a faceful at once ,never just one.I guess its just me being vain but im sure every teenager out there can sympathise with me on some level
I have plenty more but im going to leave it at 3 for now or i`ll drive myself totally insane

[Lauren]

Supernoodles is right!! Our North-East bus fares have gone up stupid amounts!! It used to only cost me 60p to get home from school - if I were to do the same journey now it would cost me £2.80. What the hell is that all about? Cos they've cut most of the routes too!

Hypocrites - When people tell me I have a flaw, I can usually see where they are coming from at least, if not take it on board, or even accept it. That's constructive criticism, and that's useful. I hate hypocritical people, however, when it comes to pointing out flaws. I hate even more when I try to be reasonable with these people (and it could be anybody; your parents, friends, strangers, anybody) and they don't respond well at all to your criticisms.

Essay writing - Specifically for my Higher Modern Studies exam. In Scotland, for the Higher English exam, one of the papers requires you to write two essays in 90 minutes. Sounds tough at first, but manageable through good time management. For Modern Studies, you have to write FOUR essays in 90 minutes. Double the essays, same length of time. But not only do you have to write four essays, but then in paper 2, you have to do a report that's recommended to be at least 3 sides long. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I think this is the most anybody's ever had to write ever, but seriously, four essays in 90 minutes? That boils down to writing a side and a half in 22.5 minutes. It's insane. And because you have to write four of them, you need to have adequate knowledge to write four essays on four different topics. And the essay questions can be on absolutely anything in that part of the course. So there are no corners to be cut, you have to learn absolutely everything just in case it comes up. For example, in the past 3 years, an essay question on Pressure Groups has come up twice, this might seem like a weird thing to complain about, but this year, we did a grand total of one lesson on pressure groups. Forgive me for thinking it was an inconsequential part of the course, clearly.

ADELE, Duffy, Estelle, Kate Nash, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse... - "Such talent" in the UK is all I hear about these days. Sorry, what? Amy Winehouse is a drug addict with paparazzi following her every move. Don't encourage her, people, just let her curl up into the foetal position and stop living, please. Maybe you could save her vocal chords and donate them to Nash or Allen, who are full of "talent" (i.e. "singing" which mostly entails exaggerating an accent and giving songs odd titles. Pumpkin Soup for example, I've blocked it from my mind, but the song has nothing to do with pumpkin soup?!) As for ADELE, Duffy and Estelle, well, had it not been for the other three, I could have perhaps warmed to these three in time, but Duffy's been compared to Amy Winehouse, so that's her off the table; Estelle's number one hit borrowed its beat from a will.i.am song, and she required Kanye West to feature in the song for it to get noticed by DJs. She would be nobody if she hadn't been given that. And finally ADELE, well firstly, her name's constantly written in capital letters, it encourages my anger, and secondly, she's another one of these morons associated with the Grand Master Moron himself, Mark Ronson! God I hate that man for ever introducing such horrific singers to the market. Back to ADELE: wtf is Chasing Pavements about? Literally, thinking about it, what does it mean? Absolutely nothing. It's another "expressive way" for "really original" or, dare I say it, "indie" people to show how "rad" they are? Oh no. Just no. Get out of my ears, I miss the dominance of bands. Come back, The Killers, I need you.

Waking up late - I hate long lies. I hate missing out on my day. Of course, I complain when I'm eating my breakfast at 7.20 in the morning about how it's too early, but frankly, it's ten times better than waking up at 1pm on a Sunday, because you were awake 'til 3am, and thinking "Another 9 hours and I'll have to be in bed." I could go on about how much this annoys me like I did in previous points, but I think you get the idea, it's a waste of a day.

Worrying parents - My mother is a wonderful woman. Really, if this was a Shakespeare play, her tragic flaw would be her tendency to worry and her irrational reactions because of her worrying. For example, I have a friend's 18th I'm going to a couple of days after my fourth exam (I'll only have one to go, but it's days after the 18th, it's not like I'm partying the night before) and my mother, because she doesn't know this person, said I wasn't going. She did this last year for the same friend's 17th. She still hasn't met this friend, just because I'm not extremely close with them, so I wouldn't necessarily introduce them to my mother. You know, that kind of friendly? Well anyway, I told her I was going, no matter what she said, because it's a small gathering, I'll have some fun, it'll be a relief after my Modern Studies exam which is a lot of work, and I think that just because my mother hasn't made her own judgment on someone, doesn't mean I shouldn't go. Before you think "ah, mummy's boy" I'll try to explain a bit more. My older brother lived on the wild side, he dabbled in things that he shouldn't have and generally caused my mum a lot of grief, so I suppose in a way, she's maybe trying to make up for not keeping a close eye on him, by limiting me. Sometimes, I appreciate this, because I know that she's not being that way for no good reason, but it's sometimes a bit hurtful that she thinks that, just because he did it, I'm going to do it too. He told her he'd never smoke - he still smokes occasionally. He promised he'd never touch drugs - oh dear. It kind of goes on. He's fine now, I think he mostly did it just because he could, but because of the effect that's had on my teenage years, it's actually made me more determined not to do anything of the things he did. It's ridiculous that she thinks that, by me going to a small gathering with people I know and trust, I'll wind up with a variety of addictions.




Wow I can't half go on... :|

I know i sound like an old person but it is an absolute outrage!those fares are extorcinate (cant spell sorry!)And they are ALWAYS changing the routes and the bus services.Like the one to the metro centre,they stopped it on weekdays then they started it again and now i see a notice on the busses saying from july its starting back up on weekdays again from my nearest bus station!I seriously can not keep up.ANDDD
Those flipping angel busses or whatever you call them,those big pink things,well i have to catch an arriva bus to college and but then to get into the town i have to catch this angel thingyyy which is a whole different company apparantly,i must not be paying enough already when ihand over my £6 for an all day ticket that i then have to pay a further £5 to use this 'angel' bus aswell.I wouldn`t mind so much if i was going out of county durham but both the journey with arriva and the 'angel' are within co.durham yet i have to travel with two different companys,its rediculous.

anytime somone says how amazingly talented she is then one of the "haters" always buts in and says "yea well shes boring,shes got no personality"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?unless you know her personaly then you cant say if shes boring or not.if you where being watched by 10 million people then im sure you wouldnt be "showing your real personality".
4 - Romeo & Juliet
WHY do we have to waste so much time on this boring story in school?its a waste of time.


and i cant think of a 5th one

[liam_bigbrother]

1. Radio Stations

They always play the same songs over and over again, they always play the same type of music and they think a song is "new" when it has clearly been out for ages. I am also sick of them going on and on about the same artists over again, as people above have mentioned; Duffy, Estelle, Amy Winehouse etc. There not that good! You want real british talent :- look at Leona Lewis and how talented she is. Also, it would be nice if they played music from artists who are not from England. Another Poit! Timbaland - I am really sick of him! He features in almost everything and anything, produces every other record and is tyring to rule the music industry.

2. EXAMS AND REVISION

I'm only in y8 and we've had 11 exams between last Wednesday and Today(and we have more to come)!! Stuck in a room with like 300 people with no windows, its hot and sticky because the weather is boiling and the test's are rock hard (not that I'm thick)

3. People who are Control Freaks

This doesn't need explaning anymore as we all no what one is
