[Discussion] Tell me your life story lads

[Uchiha seeker]

i honestly just wanted to post mine but still wanna hear other people's stories as well

Born a Muslim in NZ and parents fijian. Religous family and strict parents...

Went to a muslim school throughout my life and made some nice friends who decided to go to better equipped schools. Got bullied for a bit in primary and had good grades etc.

Super quiet in secondary and i cant remember why. Got bullied a lot and picked on by le teachers. Peer pressured into taking extra classes with quraan since i was memorizing it. Around year 11 people were hyping me up for being a good defender (football) since i was playing with our A team as they're normally year 12-13. I was pretty popular amongst the younger kids for some reason but the bullying made me awks and was scared of failure.

Ended up being peer pressues to join our soccer teamand cricket team by the coaches. Made the newspaper a couple of times but still really depressed. Peer pressured in joining this extra class for the guchi students who excelles in islamic courses. Too much stress as a learning and suppsed to memorise things for half of school period then somehow catch up with classes like chemistry and physics

Dad saw me late at night studying and then went to school next day and took me off the religous class thing (planned this btw).

I got rid of the depression at uni since i met some really nice people but the damage was kinda done so my grades were like average for first 2 years. 3rd year i stepped it up and got A's and got ny confidence back.

Was kinda happy for a bit but then got hydradinitis supperativa and my lifes foked now, the end

In summary:
I was born in Far Rockaway, New York at Saint Johns episcopal hospital. I don't remember much other than, I had a sega dreamcast and n64, and i loved them, and have been gaming since... my mom and dad have seemed to always have a terrible relationship, and it led to them splitting up and my mom moving to florida, with all us kiddies (my mom, my bro and my sis). I basically grew up there. Eventually my father would move back to florida to work shit out with my mom, that became a bad idea. He left again to go to new york, because I guess shit still wasn't good, then I guess we ended up moving back to new york to live with him when I turnt like 12 years old for whatever reason.

Anyway that's when life really began to be about me, I joined my first internet forum by the name of "Friendcodes.com" where I learned about anime and first began online gaming, which would be like, my favorite past time nowadays.. I also started going to middle school, no I wasn't popular.

Eventually I graduated middle school and moved to highschool, the highschool I went to was poopy. I moved to a new highschool in Albany (where I am now) where I basically discovered that I hate math immensely. Then I graduated highschool, after that I met a girl who I went out with for two years, that didn't work out much, were still friends but that took awhile to establish. I also went through a ton of shit with school, and now I'm about to graduate from college

And now im here.

 

[HowDidIGetPrem]

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"

First class, yo, this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought, "Nah, forget it"
– "Yo, home to Bel-Air"

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo home smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air

Did you go to an Islamic kindergarten, because I did .

Did u go to one in NZ? Dont hsve an Islamic kindy i think. There is only one islamic school though.

No, I live in Syria, they forced us to memorize verses from the Quran and hate Jews and to discriminate against women who don't wear a hijab like my mom and other things I'd rather not say.

Ah ok damn.
I sorta got forced to memorise as well because i started from year 1 to 13 i finished reading quraan earlier than others.

Also in NZ a lot of Muslim woman dont wear the hijab. My mum does though.

Also I have a syrian friend and hes the man, smart af.

 

[minamoto]

ok no p i will tell :

"your life story.."

now i did!!!..

 

[Poison]

So much going on with people! I think I'm better off than a lot of people, yet I'm not really grateful for what I have. HAve never seen a family problem, always been the 'blending in the background' student, the 'boring one' but the 'clumsiest of all' .
I don't know i dont really have a story, but oh oh I love penguins. and cactus.

[Chikombo]

hmmmm...I will probably miss some parts but here is some.

My parents separated before I remember, they didn't agree on anything so the court decided we should live with our mom and visit our dad like every other weekend.

When me and my brother was at my dad we visited his family, like my grandparents on his side etc and I remember it was a very different feeling than when I was at home with my mom.


I did well in school so me and 2 other kids got to study a little ahead of the others.

Eventually we moved some place, but I wantes to remain at the same school so my mom drove us 20 minutes every day to get there.

My dad met someone else and my mom met someone else, we moved away and I had to switch schools, I ended up at a private school, which I didn't really like but whatever.

After a year we moved again to the country side and I switched schools again, this school was different, there was litter on the wall and lots of immigrants, alot of people did not like me and I was bullied for a year by basically everyone at the school.

That school was shut down and I moved to a nearby school, most people in my class went to another one but some went to the same as me.

8th grade I started making some friends which was nice, I did well at school, but some were better than me.

9th grade I wanted to switch to another class which I got to do.

Later I came to regret this alot, and I blamed so much bad stuff on that decision and kept pretending I stayed and never left which was a weird process.

Poeple asked me what I wanted to work with and I thought about directing movies, I ended up at like a science programme, and at a private school again.

You had to have good grades to get in, my second choice was an ordinary school.

The first year I didn't miss a single class but for some reason I started getting really depressed. I had moved into their apartments cus there were no buses to that place.

Eventually my depression got really bad I thought about legit killing myself, in secret I didn't tell anyone cus I didn't want them to stop me.

For some reason I didn't and I decided to just push through.

Which was the weirdes process ever, it never felt like I got better life was just strange.

I failed my studies so I had to do the first year one more time this time the class was one year younger than me, at the summer I spent alot of time with some childhood friends from before first grade.

After I failed a second time I wasn't allowed back, I thought that I just wanted to have a job so I could get an apartment I didn't have any big plans, my mom managed to get me into a communit colleague, so I went there for 2 years and got a highschool level of education.

After that I thought about game design but I ended up a crazy person.

I don't know why I was just so confused about so many things, it wasn't like the depression I had had before this was like me being a complete idiot.

I spent 2 and half month inside a rehabilitation centre, I had like a million thoughts rushing through my head every second and was diangosed with psychosis.

After 6 years or something I got into university where I am now, I'm in my second year and hope to manage to survive the education and get a job so I can tell stories through games.

I am not interested in directing movies, but It would be interesting working with animated movies as well.

I thought about that as sort of a compromise cus I dont want to direct movies anymore but I couldnt' stop thinking of what if my life had been different.


I also got epilepsi during my time at community colleague and take medication for that. Don't know why I got it.

I feel better and better as time moves on, sometimes I feel a bit depressed but nothing like the depression I had when I was a teenager.

Sometimes I worry I wont be able to get a job and stuff, like I don't need to have a fancy job but just having any job seems difficult to me.

Dont know what is gonna happen in my future.

You're studying kinda what I'm studying

I'm about to graduate in user interactive experience, I know absolutely nothing about game design and development (want to learn) but know a little about web design. I'm kinda there with you that I'm worried about finding a job since I'm not as skilled as everyone else rn, but keep working at it, it's a good program to get into and learn as you go.
Hopefully we could both find something we enjoy doing.

Yeah, people there from teachers to kids were missed up, they used to steal my shit and spray fire extinguishers on my face.

I lost my faith when I was 15. And I never got it back it's not part of my dna anymore not even Derren Brown could convert me.
But I have alot of respect for religion, I have been bitter about people picking on it.
My mental health has improved significantly over the last years, I'm way more stable now.
I don't wish that depression I had on my worst enemies tbh it's like being in hell.
