Thanks You guys here are always so good at keeping everyone calm, my teachers at school already act like my atar is absolutely done for due to my internal marks

That sort of attitude isn't going to get anyone anywhere, I don't like that anyone encourages it. Clearly you know your results to this point aren't ideal, why focus on it? All about pushing forward and doing the best you can from this moment

I guess that's my school, there are even teachers who point out your ranks rudely and ask you what's the point of being at school if you're not smart, so I like seeing the positive interactions here. It motivates me to work hard, and I can hope to achieve 80 despite my internal marks

Serious bummer to hear that my friend - Glad we can provide some more positivity

Fingers crossed for you, Bina - It will be tough work, but I think you know that, work for it as hard as you can

Sounds like a generally toxic environment. I'm proud of you for being able to put up with that!

Definitely try to prove them wrong. Like show them why they're wrong. Change their minds!

Hey, welcome to the forums!
I would advise you to send a PM (Personal Message) to one of the mods asking to change your name, and they will do it for you.

Hey. So this is directly from the forum rules. I think it was jamonwindeyer who wrote this.

Most sections of the forums have an awesome thing that appears to the top right of the post – A respect meter and the option to ‘upvote’ or ‘downvote’ a post. We encourage everyone to upvote any post they find even remotely helpful – these slowly add up to increase the respect count on the profile of the person doing good stuff, and gives them a small form of recognition for their great work.

The formula is:
+1 = 0 Respect
+2 = 0 Respect
+3 = 0.4 Respect
+4 = 0.8 Respect
+5 = 1.2 Respect etc…

Lots of small posts with ‘+1’ won’t increase the respect count on your profile, but one great one with ‘+17’ will increase your respect count by 6.
Don’t downvote posts for no reason. Targeting a specific user’s posts or just downvoting everything in sight is definitely not allowed under any circumstances. 

Let us know if you have any other questions about it.

No such thing!

Spoiler in your signature looks great. You can make it say something different to "Spoiler", too, by going:
