That is what I am trying to say..Don't give up. I mean, maybe right now, you are too stressed and your situation survival wise is not good and you need to get out of that class, but no one says that you can't take it later....And, there is hope. I can understand logical constructs and math NOW that I never used to understand....but then, I am out of the way of the life that was so unpredictable and dangerous as it was back in the the day.....so I believe that getting off of campus and getting in a safe space is the first thing and the math is second....Math can be comprehended with the right tools, the right teacher and with lots of hard work, but SAFETY IS FIRST.....I also have been assaulted, so, take it from me.....SAFETY IS FIRST.

The entire process of going to the cops ect is truly personal - I have gone both routes and in truth both of them have good and bad points to them. The most important thing is to stay safe not only physically but mentally as well

You totally lost me there..

I mean with the math... thanks everyone. I just need some freaking validation!

I agree Widerkehrabe.

You will get the math eventually. Don't worry.

I am glad that you talked about this. We are all rooting for you and we are all pulling for you.

Hugs,

math was the bane of my existence. I was lucky and finally got a good teacher. Maybe you can ask your friends who the easiest teacher is and take them next semester.

The more I hear of your situation, the more I think you should just drop it. Too much bad crap and stress. It's not worth your health and peace of mind.

Math was the one thing I was good at in school. Algebra was the basis of me passing all the higher math classes I had to take and was never in class.

Maybe drop it and ask your friends or other classmates about who is a better teacher. A nice teacher can make a world of difference. They'll help you more.

Is it Collage Level Algebra?

Thanks all... your comments have been exceedingly helpful. I'm still undecided but I feel a little better.

oh im sorry this is so
i think you should talk to the school counsellor do they know what happened?
ask if you can take it next term and tell them you do not feel safe there and it's just upsetting you that this guy is around
don't give up though ,do it next term or at another place
you need to get your education somehow
try and take a self defence course so you don't feel so vulnerable
and can fare a bit better it also helps with your self esteem

I did great at algebra (had a very gifted, step-by-step teacher). It is Spanish that is killing me. Hardest class I have ever taken and I dread every minute of it. I'll do your homework if you do mine.

The semester is almost half over. You're half way there. I would try and hang on until then end of the semester and then I would look into transferring to another school. He should be in jail so you don't have to worry.

DEAL!
