<p>People usually always say someone is pathetic when they spend all their time by themselves and study. Or whatever else you think makes someone pathetic. But what if it makes someone happy? When does an action/mannerism out weigh it making them happy?</p>
<p>ie Is something still pathetic even though it makes them happy?</p>
<p>It’s pathetic when you make a thread to entirely refute a point. If you enjoy studying, then by all means do so. Just remember, too much of anything is bad.</p>
<p>@MIT Actually I saw your post after I made this. This is for another thing with one of my friends, who thinks no matter what it is pathetic. Don’t think so highly of your self.</p>
<p>@jgraider Got to make people click some how</p>
<p>If you want to study, do it. Right now you have absolutely zero chance of getting into MIT and Johns Hopkins. You’re just wasting your time and ours with these threads.</p>
<p>Ha ha. There are people I know that are happy that I still think are pathetic, but it’s specific people for specific reasons. For example, there’s this one guy I know. He is very over zealous in his already pretty strict religion to the point where other people of that religion make fun of him…the kids that are normally the nice ones. When he gives a thought at a church event, when it’s supposed to be a minutes, it’s five minutes, when it’s supposed to be two minutes, it’s ten minutes. He acts like he doesn’t realize he’s a teenager, “I’m just so grateful for the youth of this church”. “I cry sometimes thinking about the evil in our school”. We go to school in Idaho…Half the kids still farm. Mind you, we’re not a district that still gets potato harvest off, but we’re close. -_- His sister rejected a guy for homecoming. He cried about it because she wasn’t following God well enough. He’s not overly preachy to those who aren’t his belief but goodness, dealing with him on that level is just ridiculous to the point I find him pathetic. It apparently makes him happy, but I find him pathetic. </p>
<p>Then there’s another girl at my school. Pretty socially awkward. People will make fun of her in class, she doesn’t catch on. She’s a pretty decent loner in class and at lunch she sits with all the weird not quite emo kids… the ones that you know pick their noses, can’t relate on a normal level and have a strange obsession with anime, but still can’t pronounce manga correctly. Well, she tends to gloat about her grades and find happiness from those. I find it ridiculous because she thinks she’s better than a lot of the other students when she spends all her time at home working and she doesn’t know how to hold a conversation with a normal person. She’s on academic decathlon with me and thinks she’s special because she can medal. But she spends hours reading the materials too where the rest of us have friends, EC’s, other responsibilities outside of school. I find her pathetic as well. </p>
<p>If you’re not capable of remembering anything that you study now, you’re too tired to be awake and not productive. Go to bed. Read a teen book. Just stop complaining.</p>
<p>dude. You can apply yourself at any time. Most kids stay up to all hours of the morning reading and learning. You just need to find something to do.</p>
