Over the weekend, we had to play a math game. It kept marking the answers wrong when even the internet said my answer was right. We had to complete 3 types of problems: intergers, fractions, and money. The intergers one was the defective one. I kept trying, but it kept marking it wrong, and I was so confused. 
    My dad tried to help me too, and even he was confused and he's so good at math. I tried it again at break (because maybe my computer was the problem), but it was STILL marking them wrong! I'm not that good at math, so I would write the problem out, solve, and check my answer on the internet (best browser for this is Wolfram Alpha). I was beginning to get mad, then the bell rang and I got a chance to calm down on my way to class. 
    I'm still a little upset that the computer would do this to me. I tried so hard to get better at math, and I go in for help almost morning before school and every night my dad helps me and/or checks my answers.

    In math, when you graph an equation with a greater/less than or equal to sign, there are special signs for when lines intersect, like this ---|---. Right in the middle (where they intersect), you can put a little bubble, either filled in or not. When there are signs like these (< or >), it is just a circle, not filled in. If it is a greater/less than or equal to sign, the bubble is filled in, so basically; 

    Fractions and decimals are both part of one (exception if the  fraction is a mixed number). As You go up in both the numbers get smaller, but the value goes up. For example: 1/4 is greater than 1/8 because if you have a bar like this for 1/4
|    I    I    I    | and it is shaded like this:
|////I    I    I    | it is greater than this:
|//I  I  I  I  I  I  I  |
if that makes any since. 
    In a decimal, .25 is greater than .75 because in negitives the numbers go backwards. -25>-75. 

     In math, I am so lost. We were learning square roots and it was too hard. I kept asking for help, but I started to feel like a bother. I hated it when Ms.Pope would call on me for an answer and I had no idea. It was very difficult, especially today since I forgot to take my meds this morning. I'm starting to think I'm not good enough to go here and that I will fail. My grades are fine....for now. It's only the beginning of the quarter. 
    I wish I could make my brain click into place and maybe understand more things. Basically, life is too hard for me. I don't understand big words and when one of my smartest friends talk to me, I have to ask her to dull it down a bit so I can understand. It feels kind of bad that I'm not as smart as I should be. My mom always tells me that I'm smart, good in school, but when I actually come to school, everyone tells me that I suck, I can't do anything right and things like that. 
     People don't understand that I have a brain that works a lot differently than others. I used to have straight A's until 6th grade. I got my first F and thats when it all started going down hill.....
