Does anything you naturally do work against you?

for instance, being a 'nightshift gamer' as in, i perform better when making a game at night.

I become more focussed on it but oh! ****

TIME

TICKING

FFFFFFFFFFF RUSHRUSHRUSH

Seriously, i have 0 time to work on my stuff- and i can't work at earlier times because... well, i can't focus cause i usually have other **** to do.

Gawd i wish there was a way around this.

I even have a 9pm Curfew for some reason, i don't even know why, i just talked to my mother about it.
"Why do i have a curfew on my computer time?"
Mother: "Because i said so."

...

GJ parenting. 100% pure power abuse.
(Actually i have a long history of hate for my mother)

Anyway... speaking of i should go now otherwise she'll
"Unplug it!"
(I have 4 spare plugs in my room, god bless spare parts!)


EDIT: **** i did not just put this in GC? ffffffffff
EDIT 2: NEW TITLE FOR GREAT JUSTICE

fun fact: i find it difficult to focus on my homework until it's about 11 PM

(9:12PM) parents: WHINE WHINE WHINE FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT BLAH
(9:12PM) Me: SHUT THE **** UP
(9:12PM) parents: NO

I'm more inclined to place fangame creation in front of homework, and if I'm able to type my homework, it makes life a whole lot easier. I have some tips to free up your schedule.

1) Use lunchtime for homework. If you have friends you normally talk to, than this is a problem. I enjoyed this method because in my old school, my lunch period was like an hour long (^-^)
2) If you have some form of study hall, then use that to finish homework. I'm sure you would though.
3) Do assignments ahead of time if your teacher gives assignments for a week's course. Like if you have homework you don't need to start on until tomorrow, then do that as well.
4) Don't waste vacation! (^-^)
5) In the curfew case, yeah. Just continue staying up if you want to work on it. Laptops make life easier, but I hate how I have to use the built in mouse. Makes my hand feel oily. I have the same curfew as you (mother thinks I'll get too tired, even though on the weekends, I typically get five hours of sleep and go through my day just great.
6) Use your alarm clock to wake up early. If it beeps, immediately turn it off so no one else can hear it. I have a problem with this because I was to rest some more, so I just turn it off and end up sleeping longer......so yeah. GAMBLE!

I'm sure your parents have some reason behind a curfew, unless they really are just randomly deciding "LET'S GIVE SON CURFEW FOR HECK OF IT", then provide a reason why you would like no curfew/later curfew. I'd love to do this myself, but then it's called "backtalk" (-_-)

The Curfew started in year 7 because i didn't do homework.






























I'm in college now.

I wish our lunch was tht long. Ours is only 20 minutes. And it takes about 10 minutes to get the food.

nvm

Curfew in the sense you have to be in bed by that time, or in the sense you have to be at home at that time?

Also I hate arguments like "It's unfair that I have to sleep/be somewhere/do something at X o'clock, because that's the time I usually do homework/am actually responsible." You guys seem to think the world is tailored to running by your schedule. Spoilers: if you're not a morning person, your job/classes aren't going to arbitrarily start later. Just for you. Ever. The world does not revolve around one person, and if it did, it would certainly not be you. It'd probably be some person like Bill Gates or the president or something, unfortunately.

I understand being frustrated by it, but it's not like when you grow up you get to make your own schedule. In fact, I bet by the time you get into college or get a job, you'll be wishing you could have to sleep at 9 PM every night -- you'll be wishing it was a mandatory bedtime, so you'd have an excuse to go to sleep.

tl;dr, yeah, it sucks, but that's how life will always be. Things are never going to adhere to how you're body works (i.e. "I can only do homework at 9:00"), so you'd be better off changing your "biological clock" so to speak while that's still easy to do.

I play TF2

and suck at it :[

god I hate the "Because I said so" phrase.

Sometimes I want to do something so absurd and have my mom ***** about it and ask why.

and i'll just say: Because I said so.

I never understood why kids try to attack their parents on the notion of the unfair amount of power they have over them, instead of attacking the system that gives their parents that power.

Because no matter how much you fight against them, they can still legally do what they want. Your efforts are in vain just because you're targeting the wrong "enemy," so to speak. It's kinda funny, actually.

Night time is strange. Even if I try to go to sleep, I'm still thinking of random **** and it ends up taking over an hour to shut my brain off so I can actually rest. This is also about the time that I magically come up with solutions to my fangame problems that have plagued me all day.

(directed at everybody complaining about their parents)

your parents know best so stop *****ing and do what they say

****, they're paying to keep a roof over your head

show some ****ing gratitude jesus

[/shortrant]

Not true.

True.

I'm not complaining about my parents, just my Mother who is:
too lazy to even try to drop me off at college when she's off (my father does)
never offers me/asks me if i need anything from the shop (Again, father does)
Doesn't talk to me. (... father does)

The only real thing she does is put a roof over my head.

She doesn't know best, she only goes on about what she wants- she demands respect from me when she never even shows me any.

It's a 2 way street imo, i respect my Father, he respects me, so we get on.

My mother doesn't respect me (Not using manners when asking, above list and more.) so i can't respect her in return.

Now if she all of a sudden lightens up... then there may be room for change.

Anyway. Back on topic.


Another thing i do that so many people do is Procrastinate, and it's a *****... i need to do things ASAP more often.

I'm a procrastinator, but after about 9 I can't work on math :U

well no wonder she doesn't respect you, you're not giving her a chance (also using manners when asking for something is common sense)

how very mature of you

College starts when you're 16 in Britain?

Aren't you old enough to drive yourself?

Again, driving. Also (assuming she's buying staples such as food, drinks, etc.) shouldn't you be buying personal "accessories" (i.e. games, things only you want/need, books, etc.) yourself, anyways? It's not her responsibility.

Parents are there to parent you -- not to be your best friend.

You mean you have to pay for electricity? And internet? And water and gas? And file taxes?

Or does she do those things too and you're just not recognizing it?

Procrastination is a choice, and consequences come with choices you make. If you don't start your homework 'til 9:00, then the only person to blame is yourself and your own irresponsibility.

Yes. I think that's changing soon though. Mandatory schooling up to 18.

No. You can start driving when you're 17. I think you can get a provisional license at 16 (I'm not too sure here) but you can only drive when someone else that can drive is in the car with you (and sober, etc) so he may as well just have his dad drop him off.

College isn't mandatory, last I checked. I thought secondary schooling (high school, in America) was the last mandatory level of education you needed? And that usually lasts up until age 17-19 (depending on when you started school or if you skipped).

Unless the decide to become entrepreneurs or have a knack for predicting currency trends.

Also, with digitalization of jobs, the next generation should have heaps more leeway in time due to the less restrictive environment for work


BUT YEAH HARDEN UP KIDS. It's always good to be flexible yourself!
