No longer do I feel as anxious, worried or as worthless, not there anyway. Anyway, I prefer the community here by far, so now that I left the other group, I can focus more time here.

My IRL situation still isn't that good but there have been some more good moments.

I'm glad to hear that, @[Jinbee]. It's really good that you are out of there and feeling better because of it. I'm sorry to hear things still aren't too good, but hopefully, they'll be looking up soon. If you ever need someone to talk, vent, or get some advice from. Message me. I'd be glad to try and help you to the best of my ability. Many happy future wishes!

(It's on purpose... I do go to a decent school...) But why you ask?

It's because of the origin of my Username... When I was little, I used to call myself "The Pheonix" and I would write it like that and if anyone would correct me, I would simply ignore them and say that it makes more sense to spell it like that... That time, I was in a world of my own (Cuz I didn't have many friends, mostly because I shifted to the US for the first 3 years of my life and when I came to India, I had the US accent and didn't know much Hindi and so my classmates couldn't understand me and I couldn't understand them...) and I would enjoy my life... I would watch a lot of Beyblade anime and fell in love with it... So I started collecting and slowly, Beyblade came into my imagination realm too...

And every battle I would have, Fireblaze would always win... So it was like my DREAM Beyblade... (Until 4D)... As a kid, that was so cool because I thought that Stamina types were OP... And I would call my self Phoenix with bad spelling...


EDIT: Sorry I got a little Beyblade-y but I couldn't put it anywhere but I wanted to address this to the people who noticed .

I mean compared to 8th, i feel like the lessons are 10 times harder. Its like you were a kid for the past 13 years, and now, on the day school opens for 9th grade, without warning, you are a grown up. Its very frustrating that I have to study atleast 5 times as much as last year. And i wasnt in the habit, so my grades dropped. If they had taught us with slightly more complexity un previous years i would have found it alot easier. Like in cooking its better to gradually add sugar and stir then add more and stir than dumping the whole thing at once. For example, ( i study in cbse board in india and this is wat they taught us) in 8th grade bio, cell was just introduced, with just minimal info like it was composed of nucleus cytoplasm cell organeles etc. Now, we have to memorize each and every organele and its structure function etc.

I have two AP (Advanced Placement) classes this year in 8th Grade: Math and Language Arts. It is basically like taking 9th Grade Math and Language Arts a whole year earlier. So far, Math is not that hard, but they do go fast with subjects, teaching a few standards in a couple of weeks. 9th Grade Language Arts is calm so far, but I think in a couple of weeks it is going to become a lot of work. From what I have heard, you read a lot in Language Arts, and most of the reading is done at home. There are some writing assignments (most of them are done on a computer). I think we have to do certain books where we annotate the entire book page by page. I do like how my teacher is more flexible with due dates though. I do have other advanced classes, but they are mostly the same as 8th Grade but with higher expectations

Well, atleast you get to type some of your assignments. Every single one of ours has to be hand written. Then we have marks for maintaining notebooks. They have to covered, handwritting should be neat etc...

That sounds hard. Do you guys even have computers over there? Our school has carts full of Chromebooks...

In my last school we were taught about cell and organeles and also the diagram of nucleus in 5th grade 
And this year when I transferred to a new school my classmates (7 graders) didn't even know about organeles all they knew was cell's function and it contains cytoplasm and nucleus 
And even the math syllabus is way too easier

No, I have never been in a ICSE school in my entire life 
All the schools I have been to are CBSE

But I think the last one was like a hybrid
It had the course of CBSE but also taught a little ICSE

Maybe CBSE(south) and CBSE( New delhi)
is the difference
