Simon's Bug corner

Hey guys.

Unfortunately the quality of my life at school has just dropped to an all time low. Allow me to explain:
I was picked (Unfortunately) as the male class Representative. Of those duties included is keeping the class under control. My class of course is one of the most rowdy, we have 5 boys who just don't care what happens to them, the don't care about their work and they don't care about other people in their class. They are singing, banging on the desks and when the teacher yells at them to be quiet they don't listen. What's worse is when the teacher is out, when I ask them to be quiet:

Anon: 'F*** off and leave me the f*** alone, you can't do nothing to me!'

Another one also has absolutely NO respect for the girls in the class and is constantly touching them in VERY inappropriate places. When I tell him o stop, Same result only more extreme.

Anyway, this growing amount of chaos soon has become out of hand. During the classes I cannot concentrate, nor can I learn because the teacher s constantly disciplining those 5 people, what's more is that Detention makes them worse, they cannot be suspended and the head of discipline had done absolutely nothing to stop this.

Today was the worst, someone brought PEPPER SPRAY into the class and was spraying it around. What's worse is he got off SCOT FREE! NO PUNISHMENT!!!

I am at wits end now, because I cannot learn in my classes and this is really affecting me it is making me depressed. To make matters worse, I got some news from my very best friend in the whole world.

He's leaving the school at the end of the year, he is going to another school so that he can further his science education, I'm really happy for him, but this is gong to be hard for both of us, because we offer each other support I could tell it was hard for him to tell me, and it was hard for me to listen to because we practically do everything together and we have been through all sorts of things. I'm going to miss seeing him every day, we'll only be able to see each other over the holidays, the up side is that this will give me an excuse to visit him more often. (He lives on the outskirts of town on a farm)

So yeah all this has piled up on me over the past weeks and now I cannot handle it any more. I would also like to mention that it is impossible for me to move schools.

The only solution I've got that my mom gave to me was to go to the headmaster and explain everything to him.

Also I Lightning Mustang I remembered to add tags and categorise my post this time

Well everypony I'm back! I'm happy to see you guys again!

Port Elizabeth was amazing!

(ok not so much the drive there but anyway)

We got there and were shown the B&B We'd be staying at. A very cute little place here was our room (Part of it)

And we had a beautiful view from the door.

And I took a few photo's on my phone, Unfortunately I can't put them here, so I'll just describe the city to you

Port Elizabeth is a huge bustling city, very clean, yet very populated in the centre of town, when you come in you can see the wide stretch of city. It stretches for about 20 kilometres around the Coastline, and it built around Algoa Bay. It has a source or Green energy (Wind turbines)

But it also has various factories that involve much use of Sulphur.
The people in there are a lot of Fun! We were at a mall getting supper, when all of a sudden a random shopper jumped onto his cart and rode it down a ramp at top speed till we got to a wall and slammed into it (Right by his car)

The Sport fixtures (Main reason why we were there) Were very fun to watch, A fight broke out in the rugby match (Foul play on the oppositions part)
and a Rugby ball was kicked so far it landed in the middle of a hockey match, causing mass confusion in both matches.

On the way back, we stopped off at a farm stall,where you needed to pay to get into the bathrooms. There was a large group of about 10 or so of us who needed the toilet but had not money, so this guy walks up with a mischievous smirk on his face, and puts the coin in, opens the door and lets everyone in saying 'Quickly! SHHH Don't tell anyone'

We all walked in laughing at his antics (You are supposed to pay per person at those stalls)

Then on our way back to East London, I saw a sign directing us to a Bed and Breakfast hotel, Guess what it was called? 'The Equestrian inn'

and finally as we were entering the final stretch of our journey, we came across a man who could not multi task to save his life. (Nor can I to say the least)

He was eating a sandwich while driving, and every now and again his car would slow down to a crawl, then speed up. Upon overtaking him, we realised that whenever he took a bite of his meal and chewed, he idled his car as he could not drive while chewing XD.

So that was my trip and I enjoyed it thoroughly Although I will admit the 4 hour drive was a bit tedious.

Hey everypony, my first blog post yaay! I shall say something I've been meaning to say for a long time, I just haven't had the words, or I've been in quite a state.

So anyway lets begin!

Most of you who see me posting in the GCT will probably notice that I am either very happy, or extremely depressed and paranoid because of some or other problem I have facing me. Sometimes the problems are big, other times they are just itty bitty things that I let get to me. Well basically I'm going to explain as to why I'm like this and then I'll tell you how YOU guys helped me out of it.

So as to why I am like this:
In my childhood around Grades 4-7 I was verbally bullied by a few random idiots in my class, they were arrogant, rude and very annoying, they seemed to not only target me, bet they never seemed to leave me alone. I was always the Nerd in school, people also took advantage of the fact that I was an introvert and only socialized with my other friends, they would ask me very awkward questions and laugh at the fact that I failed so horribly at answering them sensibly.

Anyway, I forgave them, but for some reason I could not forget what they did, every now and again my brain would remind me about all those little things, and I would be in a bad mood again. That carried on all my life, and as the bad experiences piled up so did the reminders and now it had gotten to the point when even the littlest thing affects me and reduces me to a wreck unless I know precisely how to handle it. That's why I always seem to be depressed most of the time.

So...One day I stumbled upon a new section on memebase, called My little brony. I was very curious, I checked it out reluctantly. The jokes didn't make any sense to me, as I didn't watch the show, but I liked the way the ponies were drawn. I liked their personalities. I decided to download an episode, watched it and naturally got hooked.

I soon met one of the most welcoming fandom and community . I realised how friendly it was and soon started approaching it with my problems. You guys helped me through each and every one of them, be it the times I was swamped with work, or when I had family problems or when I lost a member of my family. I've been wondering how I could possible give something back after all the stuff you guys have done for me, so I decided to write this long blog post thanking you all.

I guess I owe you guys a lot of smiles. So here goes. Guys, you are some of the most wonderful friends I could possibly have and I am truly blessed to have you in my life, although I may only know you over the internet, that doesn't stop us from having some extremely great times together! We had a few misunderstandings, but we have forgiven one another and are still friends in the end. THANK YOU!! You have done more in my life that is even comprehensible. You are always there for me and never give up on me. I shall do the same for you.

God Bless you all and may you live ad prosper!!

*Extremely huge and powerfully loving internet hug*
