The blah blah teanage story truth?

i feel as though im (not the only) monkey in the barrel that has his own island. yes i know no man has his own island, and i remember that because i would never want to say there is nobody else like me, as well as the fact that an island is built from trauma not problems, and i don't have either. but regardless, i do believe at least in my area, i do see the world through the eyes of a wise man. i do not mean mature. mature is blunt, and in a way, non-existant. the mind is ever changing, one could never reach a point of ultimate maturity. i'll get this out of the way and state a am 2 months in being thirteen, and proud to be capibal of not using anigrams. but back to the point. i am wis(er) than (most) other kids (that i know). other kids don't understand a word i say, and often just discard my means as crazy. i hear a lot of "what are you talking about?" talking enphasized by the way. i am a poet, for the most part just the adults in my school thouroughly understand my poetry. i am an outsider and i refuse to discard my own view on the world, so besides that, aside from gossip of course, how may i help myself to be able to communicate and be less likely to get thrown into a box of senslessness? is it normal (my situation)?

    it is not normal for a monkey to post on the internet.

    But to answer your question....to be understood....you're going to need to learn proper sentence structure and basic spelling. You'll also need to stop trying to sound intelligent because frankly, it's not working for you and makes it sound like you're trying too hard.

    What are you talking about?

    For the record, I am an adult and don't understand a word you just said. Not because you are wise, but because it was not coherent.

    i can relate to quite a bit of this. i was always a deep thinker in jh/high school, and people often wondered about or were confused by my train of thought as well. my closest friends still dont even get my point sometimes. read classics to help understand communication, those authors have withstood the test of time for a reason. wisdom is acquired through life experience, so dont kid yourself into thinking you are wise at 13. the older i get, the less wise i realize i actually am, because despite my continued contemplation and growth as a person, there are always more questions without answers. never give up your individuality, but watch your classification of yourself as an outsider. perhaps you choose not to follow trends of your peers to mirror each other, but since we are actually all different, this only proves you are real.

    I think a huge number of teenagers feel like this, so yeah...it's more than normal. It's common! :)

    My love, You talk a lot of talk. Maturity and wisdom are not measured by the amount of fancy words and embellishment you use to say something. Id be more impressed if you stopped pussy footing around and just say what you mean and got to the point.

    I dont think you are overly wise. And to be honest, you saying so just makes you seem pretentious.

    You are a terrible speller, but I guess that's ok for monkeys

  • Heh?

    I would not call you crazy; you seem pretentiously verbose. The adults that claim to understand your poetry are likely pretentious too.

    Try exercising concision: organize your thoughts better prior to verbalizing.

    The fact that your username is Squidword3 really doesn't make you seem mature at all.

    Yeah...you say you "speek inglish" you have no grasp of the language whatsoever. Your spelling is sub par for a 13 year old and you have no concept of a paragraph. Your thoughts are all over the place and don't seem to make any sense whatsoever. I don't even know what you're attempting to say. One minute you're talking about barrels of monkeys and islands (those two cliche expressions do not make any sense together) then you're blabbing on about a maturity level that you clearly don't have and then you're asking to make yourself understood.

    These sound like the ravings of a drug induced rant (not an intelligent one) or the babblings of someone who barely speaks English.

    Just stop.

    Man I must be wasted, the only thing I understood out of the whole thing was monkey in a barrel, which spurs another question, IIN that a monkey is in a barrel and is it normal he's on IIN? Like how can a monkey in a barrel use the Internet?

    I Like this. Even though I don't understand it, I think this kid has some grasp on something cool...at least you're not standing in line at a justin beiber concert screaming about how you have to Tweet this glorious event.
    You'll be able to organize your thoughts better as you get older. You're so young, it's cool that you're thinking outside the box.
    Try to focus on how to put down your thoughts. Keep a journal, or write short stories. Have teachers help you to grow.
    The more you learn, the more you'll grow into your individualism!

    Is English not your first language? Cause you it seems like you're a pretty low level English speaker as your thoughts don't actually flow and don't make sense.

    Or are you mentally challenged?

  • I'm in the same boat. I go to a school of 4,000 and you would think I could find at least someONE to bond with but this is not the case. I feel like I'm surrounded by 4,000 undeveloped minds. Everybody, even the honors kids, seem to be concerned with petty things. And no one ever looks at the bigger picture

  • lso knowledge is to know a lot but wisedom is that knowledge put into action. and dont confuse wisedom with inteligence, (you may have a few spelling and grammar mistakes, but) i can see that you are inteligent.
    inteligence can be seen from a young age, wisedom develops with and experiance

    ps. an anagram is a word/sentence with all the letters jumbled up to form an entirely new word. and pls email me too just say no

  • although your story did have many mistakes in grammar and spelling, I think I did understand what you are trying to say.

    I congratulate you on your pursuit of wisdom/philosophy, which we don't see that often, especially among people of this age.

    So if you really have wisdom beyond all of your peers, continue to think and write poetry or whatever you are doing. you seem to feel really misunderstood and alone-you can socialize with others without necessarily always talking about things that they don't seem to understand. Talk to them about things that you may have in common if you can find any. If you really are wise you won't lose it all just by talking to others about other things.

    I somewhat grasp what you're trying to say, tho I must admit it took me quite a few re-reads to understand it. if it bothers you this much, then my advice is to try you hardest to just change yourself to fit in with your peers, even if it means you have lower your "intelligence" or whatever. otherwise, I say fuck em. why conform to someone else's or societies standards or ideals? just be who you are. einstein was misunderstood when he was younger. if your peers or others don't understand you, then that's okay. this may not seem plausible now, since you're so young, but after high school, life is completely different. you'll find people who, like you, may not fit the norm. you'll realize that it's okay to be different ... and it won't even matter to you so much :)

  • …..-_-….. anagrams are ll and ttyl, correct? and i am NOT trying to sound smart. you have no idea how many times i've heard this… for the others, thank you… i think. and i do in fact speek inglish, i live in new york, and i am very well educated, and not mentally hallenged…. ugh i don't understand what isn't to understand!

      "anagrams are ll and ttyl, correct?"

      No. Those are, respectively, a typo and an acronym.

      "ugh i don't understand what isn't to understand!"

      For starters, it would be wise to proofread your writing before submitting it.

    Do you even know what an anagram is? It's like you're trying to use big words hut don't actually know what they mean....and use the wrong ones.

    I see you are mentioning some valid points in your story. Perhaps you are alone so you read and think too much? (then again what *is* "too much"?)

    While I would agree that you probably are above average, it is not healthy (for your mental state) to mentally overstrain yourself too much at such young age.
