We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I find this very disturbing... Most of the people here are obviously very intelligent. And yes, before you protest, I am in honors classes. I am in honors Algebra, World Geography, and Advanced Art. I study English two years ahead of people in the "average" courses. So, yes, I am in honors classes. I know that at times, teachers assign frustrating and tedious homework assignments. And at times, it gets very stressful. Sometimes I have to tell my friends, "I have too much homework. Maybe tomorrow." Because the thing is, it will not matter twenty years from now what parties I went to, what jeans I wore, etc. But you knew that, right? When you apply for college, they will not care about your social life, unless you were best friends with the dean's daughter. But that's very unlikely, so all you really have are a) scholarships and b) grades. Millions of kids can be competing for a single scholarship, so I would go for grades. You say that you can make straight A's, but do you have the strength and intelligence to follow through? Please, for the sake of your future and my sanity, at least try!
