in reply to GoodBye :-)

A stupid move? Maybe; who knows anymore?

Hard to say. You have to ask yourself, could you be getting more out of the time you spend on this site? If the answer is yes, you should move on. This is obviously a lot more complex question than it first appears.

3 years of being on the honor roll and then bam, grade 12, last year and what do I do? Drop out for the year.

I think this is a very different issue. You may not learn much from school or enjoy it but, sadly, the current situation in most countries does place a lot of obstacles in your way if you don't have it. This is not to say that you necessarily need it, just that it is a very important choice and you should give it very careful consideration.

Some people might see it as a way of seeing how much I've matured over the time I've been there.

I've seen some very interesting and intelligent posts from you in the past. I also think other's can learn from even the posts that you deem "useless." That said, they are your content and you are free to delete them as you see fit.

I could not stand having that kind of stuff exist: it's all so childish, useless, and void of content.

Being smarter than you used to be is nothing to be ashamed of. Quite the opposite actually.

I'm afraid to even look at the site right now, who knows what's being said about me

There will always be people who criticize you. It's how you respond, both in action and in thought, that dictates what you will gain from it.

Have a good one.

    Some nice thoughts.

    If you wish to address mt2k it would be better to reply directly to his journal on the site where it is posted.

    It is a meaningful gesture to talk to someone where he is.

      mt2k's homenode says:

      I'm still hanging around, just not in a way that you'll recognize (or so I hope).

      So I assumed he'd read this thread.

      Even if he didn't, it would still be worthwhile to reply. You know, stimulate discussion, collective increase in knowledge, etc.

      If you're suggesting I should have posted this in response to his journal, you're probably right. I was just too lazy to figure out how to 8^D.

        Sorry I wasn't clearer.

        I'm still hanging around, just not in a way that you'll recognize (or so I hope).

        I assumed he'd read this thread.

        I agree. But since he doesn't want to be recognized you exclude his voice from any ensuing conversation. He posted on another site, to quote him and respond here seems a bit cold given mt2k's state.

        I see mt2k's action and words as a pretty loud scream. We monks are honored in the gap. Dad's gone, Mom's nearly certifiable, Sis is loaded with mundane needs of board and bed, School didn't rise to the occasion, so our only competition was McDonald's. (This is all hearsay.)

        I know I am less than the charge.
