The realisation that I would have to spend a good 20 years of my life in school to get the qualifications to become a Mecha Pilot, then the Realisation that Mecha Pilot isn't a real Job... ...yet.
The most disappointing thing you learned as a kid?

When I learned how the world really worked, that it isn't asperfect as I thought it was. It made me very... bitter.
Well I'm sorry if i offended anyone in any way but the thread asked a question and i gave an honest answer. It kind of is you fault. If you didn't want something mentioned you should have said so. And what's so bad about mentioning it anyway? It has to be tons of peoples answer for that question. And since when was it morally wrong to so much as mention god?Belated said:
It was kind of disheartening to realize that by working hard to stay on top of your grades usually meant you had a target on your back from everyone else or that enjoying something pertaining to school meant you were a kiss-up.
At least it was a better explanation to my dead social life as an eight-year-old rather then "You smell funny." like the kid in the corner.

her side of the family is mostly scandanavian. basically, the majority of my family comes from cold places where everyone is generally tall.Viral_Lola said:5 8' is short in her family?! Then I would look like an Asian gnome standing next to any of them.William MacKay said:i dont have that problem, its actually gotten better for me (though that might be because i hit puberty about 5 years after i started...) my problem is my right arm has more muscle.DoctorPhil said:
same here! except the shortest person in my family (excluding me) is my mother. who is 5'8. she's an inch shorter than her sister. thats just the women. her YOUNGER brother is about 6'1.Viral_Lola said:It's okay, I'm a short cake too.Kenko said:
OT: everything i learned in P7 sex ed. put it this way: my best friends mother watched the same video as us in primary school, and she was about 40 at the time and "it was old back then...". P7 is when you're 10/11.
when the teacher said no to giving everyone an Air Conditioner, as a solution to the Middle East Conflict, because you know they're all hot and bothered over there. Child's innocence was always a much simpler and easier time till reality kicked you in the balls.
Hmm... I think the only time I can remember being dissapointed was a few years ago when I realised that I knew how the world works (I've always liked Physics and Chemistry at school... I never thought I'd payed any attention in the lessons)
This caused a sudden meltdown in my brain when I realised how light switches and the like worked (In a way that doesn't use magic)

Biggest disappointment I think was realizing that being intellectually clever was no substitute for actually doing homework and studying. I realized this when I was 6-8 years old. I'm 19 and I still haven't gotten over it, or fully admitted it to myself and applied myself to my studies. Doing hard work is so...hard. :/
I was disappointed to find out there were no Digimon. I knew life was loveless and grim ever since i found out that even a fucking retard like Bush could get his hands on the presidential office, and the fact that i couldn't meet a real Digimon and that hallucinogenic drugs are illegal really just fucked with my dreams since i knew there would never be justice in the world.
In retrospect, that could explain how i went mad.

Why is he waiting until you have finished college, if you don't mind me asking?dt61 said:
OT: When I learnt that book stores refuse to sell Tintin in the congo because it had racist overtones. Then I felt really bad because I quite enjoyed that book, and thought that I was racist as well...
