Let me break down my schedule this year.
Spanish: My teacher is from Chile, but he's one of those people that tries to be funny when he really isn't.
Social Studies: Pretty deadpan teacher, but not too bad.
Math: Nice teacher, but Common Core algebra sucks ;-;
Science: Definitely my best teacher, really explains things well.
English: u didnt annotate ur assingment 0/10
Art: Apparently we can't draw unless we aren't talking to anyone else

I mean, English is a bitch to learn, you can't be half-assed or lazy about it, you have to really work on it. Really work on it. I'm native to Finland and it took me 4 years to learn proper English, and I was only age 3 when I had to learn it, now it's my main language.

Physics teacher targeting me, I feel like she had some kind of blacklist and I was on top of it.

English is my first language tho
Also I really, REALLY hate annotating, it makes the paper messy and feels pointless to me. Plus this English class is more about reading than actual grammar.

It being your first language or not, it's still a bitch to learn. I'm just saying that English wasn't my first language, and I had to go through the ropes of learning it, which was incredibly hard. Although I would imagine native-English speakers to have an easier time at learning their own language.

Idk, I've always had pretty good grammar imo. But English is still known as the hardest language to learn.

Grammar is one of the easier parts in my opinion. Proper syntax, spelling
and pronunciation of some words, and crafting of sentences are pretty hard, at least for me it seems.

My worst part is that every student at school hates me. I don't know why, maybe gossipers or that I'm more different from others. And I'm the only Nintendo fan in my class...

Wait, you only do 6 subjects? When I was in school I did 10 and took 19 exams :S
You had a choice of 4 subjects but things like English, Maths, Science, Religious Ed, ICT and PE were all compulsory.
You have to get at least a C in English and Maths to attend college (which is compulsory anyway until you're 18) and to be eligible for most courses there (you can do 3-5 courses).

Every COD fan always talk about how COD is better than Nintendo, even though Nintendo dominated the market since the beginning of games, plus COD fans are super ignorant to Nintendo fans.

TRUTH = SPOKEN
Although I know a lot of Nintendo fans, there are always those people that hate Nintendo just because their games aren't FPSes full of blood and guts.

You said it, Turtwig. There are 3 kids in my 6th period class who HATE Nintendo, Sega, and many other game companies. They like to play FPS games like Halo. They're not really my friends, but they're like friend-emys. (friend and enemy)

You guys are just going around the CoD fanbase's stereotypes.
I play CoD quite frequently, but I still love Nintendo, as have a lot of players I've played with. On Black Ops 2, did you SEE the emblems that people created? A vast majority of it was Nintendo related. Why would they set their emblem as something Nintendo unless they like it?
Yes, there are people in the community who think that Nintendo is just childish, and they talk down to others who enjoy it. But seriously, the people who do that aren't a large chunk of the community.
The reason why you constantly hear bashing of Nintendo is because you're in what, Middle school? Around that time, kids think they're grown-up badasses, and they want to appear as "manly" as they can. They see Nintendo as something fit for the young, so they don't want to express their liking of it because it'll "ruin" their egos as badasses.
Trust me, all you guys know is the stereotypes. Actually be a part of the community like I am and then talk, because you're only basing your beliefs on stereotypes.
Oh and Nien has a very good point.

Yeah. I know a lot of friends at college who play CoD. When I try to convince them they're not old enough to play it, they just lash out. I always get discriminated from the other gaming fans because I grew up with Nintendo (my first game was Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2) and I even got a comment saying only real men play CoD. I've fallen out with this guy because of that.
At school I was scared of admitting that I play Pokemon because at that age a lot of people thought it was babyish. I only admitted it just before I left, and then I told groups of friends that I know that play Pokemon that I do competitive battling (I'd just started getting into competitive, so I wasn't as good as I am now).

Some people still think I'm crazy though

for 1, im pretty sure if they're at college they're more than old enough to play fucking call of duty. and for 2, nobody gives a fuck about age restrictions anyway, those restrictions were made to warn parents, they're mega irrelevant to the players.

I've been playing CoD since Modern Warfare 2, which was almost 6 years ago, so I was 11 when I first started playing CoD. Like Nien said, barely anyone cares about age restrictions nowadays, and I'm almost sure that people in college are older than 17.
