Or for those people who don’t actually need it, homework is just forced labor, which if you refuse to do can result in failure of the entire class. You learned the material, but because you didn’t do the extra work the children who actually need it did, you fail. Thankfully my teachers figured that fact out and passed me along my classed with a D- because they saw my tests coming back with A grades despite never turning in a homework assignment. The bottom line is, it’s an antiquated system that desperately needs revision, and should not be allowed to count for enough to auto-fail a student that doesn’t do it.

  I’m not so sure this was even an attempted suicide. 7 meters isn’t exactly “suicide height”. That’s more like “break your leg so you don’t have to go to school height”.

  You got rewards for good grades? Lucky. I got punished (sometimes mental abuse, sometimes physical – but never anything that would leave too many marks because they didn’t want the government to get involved) if I didn’t get great grades. If I got so good grades I got one or two questions wrong on a test (the kind of test that would have 20+ points), that meant I got punished too, just not physically. After all, if I got so close to getting all the points, that meant I just needed to have …

  Suicide is cowardly most of the time. Doesn’t mean it can’t make sense though. If someone’s in a lot of (emotional or physical) pain and see no end to it, sometimes it’s better (for the individual) to end it. Most of the time it is the worse option they could have taken when considering their friends and family as well in the equation.

  Yeah. I’ve sort of been in her shoes, only I was lucky and my busy workaholic perfectionist parents didn’t have the patience to notice that there was homework to inspect and punish me for not doing perfectly the first time I did it, if they didn’t see me doing any. Which lead to me ceasing to do almost all homework after a few years of school. Fucked me over royally, especially since some of the trauma of having someone be in the same room as me was still present when I was in university, …

  IIRC there haven’t been many fighting games in the current console generation (if you meant beat ‘em ups), right?

  Or better yet, have the first gen PS3 which can play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games, so you’ll only need 2 consoles lol. I’m more worried about the system itself and the increasing development cost, processes and expectations to make good games. I truly hope it won’t decrease anymore. The PS3 so far is over 3000 games behind the PS2, how insane is that, PS3 is at a whopping total of about 770 games.

  That’s why I stopped buying Sony consoles/handhelds: they release too many revised consoles! The PS1 had like 2 different models and some minor altered versions, the PS2 was similar (big models with some smaller changes, and the Slim)… PS3 also had the big original and Slim, but there were many revised versions with important changes concerning the hardware. The PSP was the same. I bought the original, soon after they released the Slim and then another model… and always changing stuff, …
