I set my ringtone to Dethklok's ringtone. Phone calls are much more interesting now.
My sister has had problems going to school for long time now. I'm not sure what's the problem but I think one of the reasons is that she doesn't really have friends in her class. She's going to be a waitress and first year they're also teaching them cooking things, and she doesn't quite like that.
I don't really know. I got always very anguished and stressed and all that. Every day before going to bed I pretty much cried because I knew that I had to go to school next day. And in the morning I might've cried too. When I was in primary school, if I didn't go to school someday, I had to have someone let the school know that I was sick or something. In high school I just stopped caring, because I just couldn't go there.
I don't think he did the right thing. Shouting doesn't change anything. And dad shouts at us every week, almost every day.
She wants to be a waitress? Aha...
Maybe those cooking things belong to this apprenticeship or education (whatever)?
I think everybody has to learn things that you don't like or that you don't ever need in your life. The most important thing is to stick it out. In my opinion it's the only way to get a good, not too stressy and well-payed job. Maybe better and less stressy than waitress. Which is (or could be) a real hard job, I think.
But why did you cry and felt anguished as you say? Because of the other students, the teachers, the lessons or what else was so terrible for you?
(It's hard for me to imagine, because for me school was the best time in my life - and I surely wasn't the best student. But I had lots of fun in these times. )
Oh, ok. You're right. If he shouts "almost every day" as you say, it is surely not ok.
I ment that he was right, to send your sister back to school. Because in my opinion it's one of the most important things in life!
Yes, at least a while ago she did. And yes, everybody who are going to be cook or waiter/waitress, have to to waiter and cooking things this first year. Second year is when they start doing just one of the two. I hope she just stays in the school because I wish I had. And her numbers in primary school were so bad, that she would have hard time getting anywhere.
Well I'm not sure. I don't really remember what was going on in my life at that time, except for the school. I think there are many reasons why those things happened. I started having courses where I didn't have friends, which stressed me out because sometimes we had these group tasks. Also I think I took too many courses in the beginning and I got really tired really soon. I had to took art course and I'm really bad at it and I think I kind of was afraid that everybody would criticize how I did things and so on. I didn't feel comfortable at the school, at all. But I've grown since and I think things will be different.
Yeah, getting real tired of him just shouting all the time. Yes, he was right about that, but he could've stated it differently. He could give more support to her and be more understanding.
Oh, I see! She has maybe no other choice than being a waitress.
What a pity.
And now you're in this evening-school to get your graduation, right?
Here in Germany we say: better late than never!
What job do you want to get, when you have finished your evening school?
Yes, I know what you mean. He could reach his goals much easier and maybe more effective if he'd talk quiet to you and your sister and he would appeal to your rationality.
My father acted like this, I think he had success.
Lucky me!
I don't know what it's like in Finland, but here there's always plenty of opportunities to redo school finish/study later on in life, often state-funded.
I mean, my school results suuuuckkked...
...11 years later i'm doing post-graduate mathematics and I never even told anyone what my results were, just did some pre-uni study course a few years ago...
But still, finishing school is a very good idea generally
