Haha.

@ Jericho:

The two stupidest things I've ever done that never compare to sprite's doings:

- Got in a fight with another kid over a seat at lunch.

- Didn't back up my friend in a fight, which I later regretted, even though there wasn't a fight.

And those were at the ages of 10 and 11, respectively.

:/ What are you trying to say? >.< I don't have 13 year old friends that I hang out with, I'm nearly twice that age. But I do know some 13 year olds, related and unrelated, and they're just as reckless and free of cares as, apparently in my opinion, all 13 year olds are.

hmm... when I was 12 I kicked someone in the head while he was sitting at a desk. He was fine, he just got really angry. I think I was really mad at him, and I think he knew why I did it, because the next day we were fine again. I also was in a bunch of rock throwing fights back then. Those were fun . I started coding at 14 though, at 11 had started a comic strip, and at 13 was drawing comic strips for the school newspaper.

My bro is 13 now, and he's pretty cool. He used to be extremely annoying, but being half way across the country, he acts better when I'm around now. He's still somethings incomprehensibly annoying, but not nearly so much as he was. Then again, he's also really smart and mature for his age, so I usually can treat him like an equal, or perhaps student is a better word. I guess I spend a lot of time teaching him the skills I know. I suppose it's not surprising he's into world creating, writing, and drawing, same as me.

MAHONEY!! I'm home schooled! I've never cheated on a test either, but my mom kinda hid the answers...he he.

When I was 13, the worst thing I can think of was ALMOST beating someone up because they were giving my sister grief, and they had been a jerk to me for another reason (over a girl, yeah), but my bet friend held me back and kept noses from getting broken...

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

And yeah, I know almost no one who wouldn't cheat in my situation. I guess that's a good show of self control, eh?

Hey Sprite, sorry about being so pissy earlier. I stand by my argument- if you know it was stupid then why make excuses- but I realise your actions in itself may not be as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be. I'm sure you care deeply for your sister, but as long as she's not eight uears old or something, than I'm sure there are worse things. I still think it's wrong and you should stop rationalising, but that's all.

Hugsies!

Very good show of self control. By any minute chance, would you happen to be on Facebook? If so, email me at yodamanjer@yahoo.com.

Umm...to stay on topic....




Made that in my spare time.

Sorry everyone, my isp disconnected me for a few days. But im back now

Quote: "Seeing as I'm almost a certain age, I really should outgrow my behavior. I have two siblings, a sister who is 21 months younger (we get along great, in fact we're each other's best friends), and a brother who is 5 1/2 years younger.


He and I get along about as well as water and oil. Some days we'll be fine, and then others he'll just be as annoying as seemingly possible, thusly propelling me into a fit of rage and I usually start trying to make stop. I'll ask nicely, he won't stop. I'll ask again, he won't stop. I'll ask one more time, and then sometimes he'll insist on me apologizing for 'being evil to him'. ?!?!?!? WHAT?

I've learned to cope with it, but sometimes he'll get so bad that he won't even listen to my mom. We're homeschooled, so he's not getting bullied or anything like that, but we have also moved around the country a lot, and he's pretty young, so I think that has something to do with it. I'm learning patience, through a lot of things right now. Huzzah for that!

All in all, just be patient. Ignore him. Ask your mom or dad if there's a place you can go where he can't get to you and use that time to calm down. Maybe you can talk to him and tell him how you feel. Yes it sounds sappy, but it works. Really."


- This sounds exactly what im going through!! So you do understand that its practicly imposible to get the brother to listern to reason.

You guys think you got it bad, wait till you hear this one.

When I was younger, I used to play football. One day, my sister decided she wanted to play aswell. AS you can imagine, doing the same thing as your sister, not able to have a kickabout with your mates. Eventually, I gave up and decided to become a nerd, which I'm very good at.

My sister plays for Celtic Girls, one of the leading female teams where I come from.

Ok this thread has turned into the forum mangle, the same points keep getting regurgitated and I doubt anyone is any wiser for it, and some peoples responses are downright insensitive and inflamatory.

Locked.
