That reminds me of my friend who, on one chemistry class, he was going "WTF" so many times for the problem solving questions using chemical formulas,( and I didn't want to explain to him yet, in case his mind crashes, ) that he suddenly sat up, and sat in a corner and told me: "Chemistry is scary"

Alas, truth is stranger than fiction, but my class is very strange.
Like this one case:
There is this bi-ish guy in my class, and he like to make vulgar-ish comments for girls, and touch boys in inappropriate places.
So one day, this group of students got sick, and told the school counsellor.
Unfortunately, the counsellor HATES sexual minorities, so she immediately called the bi-ish kid, and gave him "advice" to be straight, and the kid cried.
Then his parents came to school and told the headmistress about this, and surprisingly, the headmistress took the boy's side.
After that, I don't know, they say he's going to transfer school, but I'm not so sure.

Anyway, turns out my mom also sucks at keeping her word, so it looks like the laptop will stay, and my bro will be stcuk there, and nothing changes

Yay! I won!

Alas, my mom is still cold toward my 'bro.
EDIT: UH OH, my mom WILL lock up the laptop after all.

There are so many things that I like and I really want to do, but it seems like every time I try to do them I feel like I'm terrible at them and I just stop. I never get anything done with drawing, playing music, or anything like that because this is always how it turns out after only 5 minutes or so of doing something.
Basically I can never finish anything because I always get such low self-esteem that I don't even see the point in doing things anymore. How do I fix this problem?

It's always the same, with every new thing you try to learn, you master the basics rather quickly, but it takes so much time to improve after that.
What you can do is to think that everyone who is now an expert has been an amateur in their time, and if they could have success you too can.
But if you try to learn many things at the same time, you end up knowing nothing, that has happened to me many times. It's better to focus on improving a few things than to try to be better at everything.

I have thought of all of those things and none of those realizations have seemed to help very much.

[Vortex]

Yeah, I've also been trying to follow that advice and many times I end up resigning... probably it's just that some people have an innate will force or something.

I guess the only thing that really works for everyone is having support and feedback from friends who are learning the same thing as you, and/or a true interest in the subject that keeps you coming back again and again if you try to leave. Only in those situations I've managed to continue and ultimately to achieve a level I'm satisfied with.

Here an idea. You ever watch that show Jimmy Neutron. That professor Calamust. He could never finish anything, food, homework, that stuff. But he did have this robotic suit he used. It work fine except even that wasn't finish. He never put in a bathroom. Try to do something like that, have something made but leave out a part that important, but not too important.
