Haha yes. That was a major fail on my part!

In my program, an A is a 5, a B is a 4, and a C is a 2. The points then decrease as according from there.

The class I was in was a little course as PLTW, where if you passed with high enough grades (I got a 5.0 average in that class all year) you would earn college credit.

Grammar*

And learn your grammer history. Retarded comes from the word retardant. It was used to describe how quickly fire would consume a building material.

Well god bless your son that he is so smart and has a large bank account. I hope all good things come to him.

So now you are making assumptions? I am not spoiled. I saw this a few weeks ago when someone else did it, and apparently they got a callaway Razr fit. So when my driver broke, it dawned on me to do the same. My parents volunteer a a nursing home, and I occasionally come with. I help at a homeless shelter, and make and donate lunches to them. I do community service (as a choice, not a punishment.) heck, my town had a horrible store and trees fell down on houses and lawns. My friend and I went around picking them up for the elderly and the people not home (we didn't touch it if we thought the homeowners needed to take pictures for insurance reasons.) So no, I am not selfish. I decided to try this due to seeing someone else, and decided to give it a try. I wished you were able to see the true me and not some fake "scammer" but please realize I am better than a no life scumbag.

Okay lets break this down. I was not trying to scam people.The definition of scam is a fraud trying to take money and valuables. It wasn't fraud- I am simply a 15 year old boy and have absolutely no plan to take money or valuables from you. I didn't try and trick you or call up asking for money? It was a simple yes or no. Just a thought I would try? And I never covered anything up. I just never stated why or how my driver broke because frankly I didn't think people would care. I thought it was going to be a simple yes or no, once again. Also, I am very aware you have all been my age. And I am not a lazy person. I just don't get paid a lot, and when I do I have to pay for lunch and other neccessities first. I am not fooling anyone. Why is this getting under your skin? I didn't think it would ever get this big and mysterious to people.

Mental state? I am not in a mental state. I am just curious to find out your desire to prove your smarter than a 15 year old.

Trap? What trap? There is no trap. I googled places around my town and there is no place that hires 15 year olds.

Ha retardant isn't a word? Go look it up in the dictionary. It meant to be slow, the same as the definition of the word to describe material buildings are made from when determining what is fire safe and what is not.

As for the exam- I didn't take it yet. My family and I saw that I struggled with it this year and I want to take it again next year to understand it furthermore. I didn't want to pay the money and then do bad on it. But I am in the course once again , this time I have a new teacher and I better understanding behind it.

Ha I am going to take your comment with a grain of salt. First of all, being retardent means being slow. Thats what the original definition stated. It is used out of context by unaware people like you. So stop assuming your insulting someone by saying that. And second, it is a scientific article I found in my schools catalog. If it wasn't meant to be studied on, they wouldn't of included it. Now I get what you are saying. But then again, I think you are just fooling yourself.

No lies here, only the truth. I have been in a strict academic program for math, science, engineering, and high technology all my life and I am already getting some college credit in engineering areas. As for the video games effect, read one of my sources I included: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-01/india/30462825_1_violent-videogames-brain-week

Simpleton? And Go google it. I had to do a project about it for my AP Biology Class on how it affects the process of the mind. Show me where I am wrong. I have done hours of research on it.

Lost in too.. barely lasted the last 5 days in school without getting kicked out without it.Or having to buy one for $%5. Ughh any last ideas? You know, I might just work off the money and buy the new shaft myself. This whole forum has gotten me motivated..

If I can sing I would do that in a heart beat. And If I had the talent to sing.. And no, I am not going for a justin bieber look a like.

Thank you sir, it is greatly appreciated.

I am not going to say anything like that? I have looked on craigslist before, I will admit.

Thank you sir for helping me along. That's all I ask. For a little guidance in this world. This is a good lesson that odds are I will never forget. Its time to get my butt moving and working in order to pay for the things I want.

For purely of a safety reason, Ill just state that I live in the midwest region of the United States.

But what state do you live in sir? In my state it says you have to have a work permit before you are able to work at age minimum of 16. All state laws are different, since the Constitution gave hard federal laws to all, but then issued out rights to the states allowing them to make decisions on certain areas.

No video games in my house. Violent video games in studies have shown a sharp decrease in mental capability and process, making the mind think at a slower rate and decreases ideal thought stream.
