I told mine that we couldn't really see each other much during exam period and he totally understands suprisingly :)
He wanted to help me study, but we all know what ends up happening lol ..
-
Mine never goes out with me. She doesn't even talk to me.. err, wait, it's because I don't have one.. :roll:

mine's got uni exams and since we're both perfectionists we both get grumpy cos we both get stressed. plus he's doing a hard course (nuclear med ... yuck so physicky x.x) and then we both apologise profusely to each other for being grumpy. and then we're grumpy again. and then apologise. etc.
i hate exams :P
-
mine told me tht he didnt want to see me or talk to me until exams are over *sigh* so now we talk once a week. it makes me sad.

It's for their own good though, doesn't want their studies to suffer, he's looking out for whats best for the both of them, there's plenty of time for them to spend time together. :)

Is it true that relationships aren't allowed at your school -first time suspended, second time expelled?

uh whut? Schools can't do that.. can they?

Well firstly, uhm, relationships aren't allowed in school, but I don't think those are the penalties. Boys and girls aren't supposed to hang around with each other for no reason, although I guess it still happens.
Secondly, it's not my school anymore, k? ^^
-
I can't help but think you're a bit clingy, Insane_Emm.
Is he having exams too? Or just you? If it was just you, he should leave the choice to you, but if he's got exams too, you've gotta respect his privacy and freedom of time so he can cram. You've probably taken so much time from him (and vice versa) that you both need some time to cram anyway.

Let's keep the insults to a minimum, shall we?
-
I'm sick of my damned boyfriend tbh >_>;
HE WON'T LET ME STUDY >_<;
"NO, tanika, you've studied too much.. Come watch Full Metal Alchemist with me /drags off"
.____." shits me tbh.
And it's worse, coz i live in his house >_>;
-
My old school doesn't allow girls and boys to have relationships either, and if they do they get suspended, oh and we have this no hugging or you can call it the "hands off policy" and if you're seen hugging someone, you have to pay a fine :? and you were given a detention lol
That school was a really strict Catholic School, oh how happy i am to leave it.

i resent this "uve prbly taken so much time from him (and vice versa)" i know i cant be too horrible here cos ur a mod and i respect tht but... come on. its yr 12. i hate my living situation, and im waiting to get out of here. ive done TONNES of study, all thru the year, so i can get the TER i need to move to Melbourne.
he, on the other hand, has done study all thru the year and is doing awesome in his exams. so. im offended.
-
Meet my girlfriend, Hand. LOL.
threesome?
-
Hey, she's not a whore! :P
Lol! Nice one josh :)
Ew relationships make me wanna vomit ( at this stage in my life)
my ex wanted to see me everyday and i just told her 2 piss off and leave me alone... but in nicer words :wink:
-
Hehe.
Is the ex the one in your avatar? She seems pretty hot.
-
Haha na that was taken this fri @ mi social =)
Shes my best mate. nothing sus lol
-
you guys sure do go all out for your socials, it looks like a formal!
We have themes for our socials.
And we don't have formals
-
Yeh our theme was masquerade but the masks by themselves wer a little bland so yeh we decided to do masquerade and formal .. but na girls just wore dresses :lol: and guys wore suit pants and shirts. I was in an experimental mood so I decided to try the pink tie =)
Funnily enough girls kept grabbing it when they wer dancing with me =)
lol kinda kinky :lol:
-
Haha, well she look's very niiice... Haha. Why is it that your school doesn't have a formal?

I lol'ed because I read that line by itself, outside of context haha
-
Yeah I wore a pink tie to my formal instead of matching with my partner's dress, which I kind of regret, but the tie got a few compliments
-
i have 5 pink shirts and 1 royal purple shirt. thats 5 pink shirts and 1 royal purple shirt more than my girlfriend has. it drives her nuts.
-
i have a rather different problem.
my boyfriend [whos not studying VCE] is all serious about me studying for my exams and such yet he still lets me see him at night.
lol
he's MEANT to be a good influence but it never quite works out like that.
however, ive laid it out that i cant see him [during the day, anyway] until my exams are over.
which is only 2 weeks anyway.
how long these 2 weeks seem... *sigh*
-
summary of thread = pink ties are shickk
-
you all need to be shot. pink ties are no longer remotely acceptable
i still have a soft spot for very very very light pink shirts, but technically even that's pushing it and you should have given it up awhile ago
-
NEVER! why wear exactly the same as everyone else. I like being different
-
but you don't look different. you look like you're stuck in 2004.
-
2004 was a good year.
Athens olympics... and um ... well um... what else... im not sure... did halo2 come out that year? lol
-
Halo 2. What a boring game. Such a let down from the original.
I don't have a pink tie o_O
-
meh, i only ever liked Halo on coop anyway :P

Girls vs Grades ..the classic economic trade-off
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/adfe7536-0759-11dc-80b9-000b5df10621.html
Dear Economist,
I am 17 years old and studying A-level economics. A lot of my friends are getting into serious relationships and I’d like to get a girlfriend myself, but I am also concerned about getting distracted from my studies. How does the cost-benefit analysis work out?
Ben, Buckinghamshire
Dear Ben,
A lot of economists have been arguing about this. Social conservatives have recently argued that ”abstinence until marriage builds character and self-control.”
More plausibly, as the economist Joseph Sabia suggests in a forthcoming article, ”if the realised benefits of sexual intercourse are higher than the ex ante anticipated benefits, adolescents may substitute time and energy away from investments in human capital and towards investments in future obtainment of sex.”
In English, that means that sex may be distracting because it is surprisingly fun.
There is little doubt that virgins achieve better grades. Yet is this because sex kills brain cells, or because kids who are already bored at school look harder for ways to amuse themselves? Professor Sabia’s article in Economic Inquiry uses data on the timing of the decision to have sex to show that kids who decide to have sex were already doing badly at school.
Professor Sabia’s results show that a girl does not seem to be distracted at all by losing her virginity - perhaps because young boyfriends are not competent enough to be terribly distracting.
Be careful, though, because it’s different for boys. Professor Sabia finds that deciding to have sex will knock a few percentage points off your grade. That’s my excuse for doing so badly at maths, and I’m sticking to it.

LOL.
It may not have an effect on girls' grades whilst they are in a relationship, but I've seen A LOT of girls crash and burn and become completely dispondent in school after they've broken up with their significant other. (Especially after they've had sex with them.) Guys (seem to - and not always) get over it sooner...
But yeah, pretty limited example, but it works both ways, but differently.

I found this illuminating:
"Dear Economist,
I do not know whom to turn to. A few months ago I discovered that my wife was having an affair with my boss. I lost both wife and job in quick succession. My wife also took the dog. As I cannot afford my mortgage repayments, I am about to lose my house as well. Betrayed and homeless, I feel very depressed. I have become so desperate as to consider taking my own life. Please help.
- A.W., Dulwich
Dear A.W.,
Don’t do anything rash. You are on the verge of making a terrible mistake, albeit one often made by naive practitioners of cost-benefit analysis.
Presumably you are contemplating suicide for the usual reason: a net-present-value calculation suggests that the future benefits of living are outweighed by the future costs. You will have considered the low probability that you will ever love again, the disadvantages of your poor credit record, and the difficulty of securing a new job, especially if applying from no fixed abode. While this cost-benefit analysis may appear to be a rational approach, it neglects advances in the field of real option theory.
Many decisions are irreversible but can be postponed to gather new information. The quintessential example is that of exercising a stock option, which allows the purchase of a share at a particular price. It would seem to a naive investor that an option to buy a share for £5 should be exercised immediately the market price of the share climbs above that level. But this is a mistake: the share may climb much further, or may fall, so while the option remains open there is a value to holding on to it while more information comes in.
Real option theory extends the idea beyond financial investments and into the real world. Apparently rational irreversible decisions to buy houses, build factories, or, indeed, to take one’s own life, should often be postponed to gather more information. Your decision to kill yourself would deny you the opportunity to take advantage of any change of fortunes.
The latest economic theory therefore strongly recommends that you postpone your suicide indefinitely. It may be hard to believe, but there is every chance that you will again find true love and a satisfying job."
