Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

The GED is 100% a participation trophy.
Geometry? I took geometry in 8th grade.
What classes were you blocked from?
I was blocked from taking entry geometry because I tested out of it. Don't remember if it was 101 or 110. You probably took various types of geometry through out K-12. I'm stuck on Two-Column Proofs mainly because the process is intuitive enough I don't put words to it. I need to just push though and get whatever grade I get.
Wait, it was 9th grade, freshman year. I tested into algebra 1 in 8th grade. So highschool was geometry, algebra 2, trig, then AP calculus.
Proofs are about learning that it's not about getting the answer. It's proving that it's the correct answer. Imagine someone telling you that they don't believe your answer is correct. Imagine each step they say they don't believe you. So you have to break it down into small, undeniable steps to PROVE that's the answer. It's in the name.
