So yeah,Starting Next Year,I may be leave this Site for awhile until Next Winter in 2014,because i will be taking part in Malaysia's Education Certification/MEC Exam,you could say it was my University Entrance Exam since i'm a Third Year and have to focused on my studies even further,which means i may have no time to be with you guys until next Winter or maybe longer.However,I may stay on this Site,but i won't do any activities here and i'm not always online on this Site due to my problems that i will settle in real life until my Exam is done,which means visiting here and chat with you guys a little is the only way i can do here.

 

The choice is yours,do you want me to leave this Site for awhile or you want me to stay with you guys until my Exam is done?My choice maybe depends on yours...

Okay, you know what? This is an important part of your real life, so you wanna know what really doesn't matter? The opinion of strangers on the internet. 

 

You don't need to ask some teenagers scattered across the world whether you should keep talking to them online or not, because fact is, your real life is more important than the time you spend on a website about a video game series. Your future is WAY more important, and asking a bunch of kids to make that choice for you is not only irresponsible, but pointless. This kinda thing is a choice you make for YOURSELF.

Indeed,I did think of that,but the more that i think about it,the more it makes me feel worried and it was like that i won't see you guys again for good...

I will agree with Think Pink . Don't ask us .  You should decide yourself . If it was about something completely trivial ,it would be right to ask us . But this is a "decision of life" as I like to call them .

That's too important of a decision to leave to us, man. I'll be sad to see you go if you do take time off, but I think that if it's for your education that you should jump on the chance to do it.

I know i wouldn't take my studies too lightly,but neither the memories i've make with my friends here,too.Indeed,I should have walk forward to the future and put the past behind me,but i can't put the memories that i have as well.It feels like i'm making false memories here.I kinda afraid that i'll be a nobody and leave just like that.I've troubled myself in this...

I find myself unable to read past the "strangers met online" part. No offence, but that is a horrible way to say "choose for yourself because its you, not them". Why? Are the bonds we forge here any so difrent than that of one forged in real space? I've found some of my best friends on the internet, in fact, a few of them on this site. We met somewhere, we talked, we had similar intrests and personalitys, so we became friends. Had it been real life, it would had been the same. I've found these bonds, in fact, to be stronger than real ones, as I feel a mutual-given care from people I met online, unlike with real people who shove my problems I'm asking them to console me on under a rug because they don't care. Wether its online or not, a bond is a bond, no matter its forge, a sword is a sword, a chain is a chain.

 

Now on the topic: would I love Haz to stay? Of course, I just addressed that bonds formed over the internet are the same to me as real ones, and Haz is a good friend of mine, but its not my decision to make. He has a choice. He chose weather to get input from his friends on his leaving for a while, and see how it affected them. Now, I'm not saying he should stay, considering the facts it may be in his best intrest to leave, also not ask us, but he did. I'm in the grey on this subject, so I refuse to vote, and on another note: this is a choice to be made by you, Haz. I understand you care about your friends here, but they also care about you. Make the vest choice for yourself, they'll miss you if you choose to leave, but when you come back you won't have gone for nothing.

I was gonna say something well thought out, but it was already done so I'll just quote it for you to re-read it

MEC? SPM is it? Don't worry man, I've been there. You'll be back earlier than you think. My advice for you is be confident and decide for yourself. Always ask your teachers for advice and try doing previous papers. It works actually. Always take a break when you need to. Don't force yourself and group study works sometimes. You'll make it. It's a phase in life. Don't worry too much and good luck!

((off-topic: I merged your posts, please just edit if you have more to say next time instead of making 2 posts!!)) 

 

But he's asking strangers met online. Fact. I'm sure he does have close friends here, so why not ask them instead of a general question to a community who are, yes, strangers? Even if he knew us all in real life, it doesn't matter what we want. His decision is about HIS FUTURE, and in no way should someone take the opinion of some friends they met online over their own future.

(I try keeping on topic and out of topic posts separate, to keep semblance of order for the person owning the thread, if I make around a paragraph in the of-topic time)There you go again. "Strangers you met online". How many random people are going to reply to this? Very few. Mostly his friends will reply and pay attention. And your using this "strangers you met online" saying to negate him asking for help. Sometimes we need outside, unbias sources of input to make a decision. Sometimes, no matter the level of importance a choice is, we're just too torn to choose a side without other people's help. We(as humans) are social creatures. Society helps make us who we are, could you imagine a world where every human never asked another for help with anything? We wouldn't be here, we would still be trying to invent the wheel on our own. We would be quite crazy, as well, as social creatures like us depend on interaction from some humans. I'm a loner by nature, but I have to have at least a few friends that I can talk and be with. What logic is it that the people who have important decisions to make can't ask people of their society, yes, even people you don't know, for some aid. It's the old "borrow a cup of sugar" Mentality. Now, I'm not saying this specific situation calls for that, in fact, this is a decision that I think should have been kept to himself and his close range of friends, but I also remember no human is like another. His thoughts and feelings are difrent from mine, from you's, from DC's to a Kitchen Bot, we think different things. If he feels he needs to ask for help from a little bit of everyone, lettem have it! Even if in out eyes its not the smartest choice, we don't use his eyes.

(Double posting isn't allowed though--next time I'd recommend leaving a space between paragraphs, drawing a line, doing @topic, or something. As long as it's all in one post, you can do whatever you like to separate points) 

 

Not sure what else you want me to say. Either way, people who will not be part of his future and education are going to post their opinion. We have no real invested interest in other people's futures--I wish Hazimie well in life, but to be fair, I'm 16. I'll be off this website one day, because I'll be grown up. Probably not for a few more years, but still. It's not like I'm going to keep in contact with anyone from here, because I have a future and letting someone else have significant input in my future wouldn't be right. And I've made some amazingly close friends who've talked me down from the edge, so yeah, I understand having great friends. In the end, Hazimie should do what he thinks is best for himself, regardless of what any of us think, whether or not we're his close friends. It's his life, not ours, and he shouldn't give up time that could be dedicated to his future to satisfy some kids on the internet. 

 

He posted a thread saying he was leaving now anyway, so I guess this topic is now completely irrelevant?

... And in that respect, you may never understand me. I have a difrent mindset you would argue on the existance of, so I'm not going to go into detail of it, but I'm going to say this: everyone I've met here I'm invested in, no matter the level I know of them. They're people, people affect other people indiscriminately and indirectly at all times just by breathing. So, why not be invested in the people I meet, even if they are not friends? Especially since one day we may become friends, for the future holds many things from our eyes.And yes, in a sense this topic is irrelevant.

well if you find the time, then come on when you can. so it`s.. a combo of the two! but seriously, I had a lot of school work and I`m just coming back on! so whether you choose to stay or leave, just come on when you have the time.

Well, you already left, right? But I still feel like I should write a bit.

I'm about to enter the last year of school, and I know things will be extremely hard and this year's gonna the busiest year of my life, that's for sure. So I'm trying to spend all the time I have now that I'm on vacation because I know it'll be really hard to do anything while I'm preparing for the national exam and facing off the 12th year at school. So I can feel you. 

 

I'm sorry to say this, but I'd never post something like this, I mean, ask if people want me to come or not. This is something so important for our lives that we simply cannot let people decide it for us. We have to know our priorities. Of course we'll have no time to do anything during this year, but all we can do is inform our friends on here and hope they understand, because they'll be or they have already been in the same situation.

 

It's clear that we can come here once during a holiday or during the weekend, but life's so complicated for us this year that we can't promise to come here every Saturday/Sunday. We just have to tell them that they're very important to us, and that once all of this is over, we'll be here to do talk, post, etc again! So, bro, study for your exam, come here IF YOU EVER HAVE TIME TO DO SO. We'll miss you, but we know this year's extremely important for your future! So cheer up and face that exam so that you can go to a good university! And Happy new year, my friend! I've missed you, we haven't chatted for a looooong time! Good luck on everything you want to accomplish this year!

I've seen you around here quite a bit here, and I know that you're pretty involved with the community here, so I can see where this decision can be tough, but understand that this has to be your decision first and foremost. I very much disagree with the sentiment that people you meet online must be "strangers", but just as you would with friends and events you may know and participate in normally you have to balance it as you see fit.

 

My personal recommendation is to put some initial focus on your work, start to understand the level of focus you need to have on it, and then come back to the time as you have time. I don't think there's necessarily a reason for cutting off all contact but I can more than understand putting focus on working toward your future as opposed to simply talking about various topics on a board. And don't worry about losing contact for good. If you want to maintain a presence of any kind it won't be difficult to make it back every now and again.This is your decision, though taking others opinions into account shouldn't be too harmful so long as you understand that that should probably be just a consideration as opposed to the crux of your decision. In any case, though, I wish you luck in your work, and if we see you a little less, I don't think it will make you lose any standing or care from us.
