Probably not the best title. I've been talking to Zero about this for a while and ended up drafting two versions. This is the second, the one I put more effort into. The first requires a lot of editing and I'm not really willing to work on it right now. I might post it later.
But as for now, consider what I have to say, despite the fact that Tachyon's probably already told you all "just ignore everything he posts."

We need to come to a consensus. The whole tirade of complaining and bitching often seen in your typical high school is RIDICULOUS.
Do you have any conception as to what’s going on? The constant, constant, constant bitching about how your lives suck or nothing’s working out is just identifying you with the emo crowd. Why is it nobody likes an emo? Why? They complain without taking any action to fix their problems. They whine about petty grievances, ones nobody will listen to. poo poo gets blown out of proportion, things that never mattered in the first place. WE DON’T WANT TO CARE. We never will. We never will.
Tell me what complaining accomplishes. Give me five good reasons as to why it’s efficient. Nothing changes. People claim venting their frustrations by complaining helps them feel better. Because it doesn’t solve anything, people just return to their miseries to complain about it later. Bitching helps. DOES IT REALLY?
Change is not caused by idleness; it’s caused by action. If you sit and do nothing, that’s exactly what happens; nothing. Your status won’t change. You won’t get that raise. Your friends won’t like you again. Let’s look at a scenario. You’re landed in staggering amounts of debt. You’re going to lose everything you own in a few weeks. You’re screwed up the ass. How do you solve this?
Try bitching on the forums about how you’ll be thrown out and how you cry yourself to sleep every night. Try it. Has your debt lessened? Great, keep at it.
Let’s try a different route. Do what you did before, but this time resolve to find a good source of income. Do odd jobs. Get a part-time job. Talk to people for financial support. Is anything changing? Yes? Great, keep at it.
Get the message? Got it memorized? No? You don’t care? Yeah, f*ck you too. If you don’t choose to change the negative factors affecting you, it’s your problem, not that of everyone else. Good luck living a poo pooty life.
So what’s with the rest of this going on? I’m still being targeted as the worst thing to happen to this site. I’m slowly tuning myself out to it. I already made an effort to explain that I was going to attempt to change my habits, but if people are going to act retarded, well…f*ck ‘em. I have enough to worry about as it is (which explains why it has taken me so long to write this since I’ve just been bogged down in work), I'm relapsing because I'm in the throes of my senior-itis (high school term, meaning I'm hardly willing to do anything, similar to depression), and I’m not willing to increase my mental pressure for some people I don’t even know. Do you really think I spent all my time away from the site doing nothing? I used all that time away to put things in their proper perspective and learn how to deal with ignorance. I’m a better person for it. Too bad you can’t see that.
What else should be said? What else can I say? Nothing. And I don’t even know if this will get through to you. It’s your decision whether or not to pay any attention to it. I’m not taking blame for this poo poo anymore. Accept your own responsibility and DO something about it.
