i am aiming for 40+ in mechanics papers and the pulley questions always screw me over. I feel im able to do the basics but whenever a slightly harder question comes i get stuck. I want to be able to think up of solutions to whatever hard questions come instead of blanking out.
For now i have solved 10 mechnaics paper and reviewed them quite thoroughly
what are some practical and effective steps that we can take to show cambridge to take serious action over our compromised exam fairness? some are saying ke we should switch to different boards like fsc systems or AQA or OCR but is that practical bcz parents have already paid for AS level. Also Cambridge is internationally recognised (which it should not be) unlike the other systems.
Obviously we should send spam emails to Cambridge and send screenshots of evidence that paper got leaked hours before the exam.
This is so unfair about how students do so much mehnat all year, pay hefty fees and this is what they get. Not all studnets work hard towards and A*. Some work towards a B or a passing grade and that requires the threshold to be fair and justified. Their efforts are as valid as those who are aiming for an A.
Last year that this issue happened, it went quietly down and cambridge shut us down. We cannot let history repeat itself. Ppl might say that our efforts won’t be effective against such a huge organisation but despair do us much good except make us docile. We cant let this repeat again and again. If paper leaks have happened for 3 years staright, there is a genuine security flaw in Cambridges system that they are not fixing and they won’t untill we take action.
Also why is it that its always only in Pakistan that the math paper gets leaked?
Please share all your thoughts
this is just a rant about something that has been weighing me down in my life. i tried journaling it but i feel like letting someone who i don’t know listen to my problem will ease this stress my mind has been taking in.
I have been close friends with this person for 4 years now. We have been through a lot together and have shared alot about our families and hung out so much to the point that we are considered a part of each others families. But recently we had a conversation. They brought up the fact that although we are close friends, we could never be best friends since i dont relate to the things they have experienced in their childhood. It seems a little silly that im so hung up about the fact that we could never be” best friends “. We are not on bad terms and we are close but that line kind of hurt me because it is kind of true. Can our bond not go deeper because of our differences?
I was raised in a pretty healthy household with loving parents but my friend has a rough relationship with thier family, especially with their mom. How the family neglects them in difficult time and puts unnecessary pressure on them to do better when they themselves provide an environment that can not encourage that. Thats not all of it but i dont feel comfortable telling their whole story. Its just that, because of this difference in childhood, they have set barriers around themseleves. That person is definitely more open to me than their other friends but i think that they don’t feel completely satisfied telling me their stories because the most i can do is sympathise, not relate. I can provide comfort but not understanding and for them, being understood is the ultimate comfort
It kind of stresses me that i can’t provide comfort that this person is looking for. Somebody that can fully understand them and embrace them. They think that my life is on “easy mode”. But everyone has their personal struggles and even though my struggles are not as deep as theirs, are they not valid? I move forward even with my struggles and look for ways to solve them but is it naive to assume that they can do the same? Will I to also become hopeless when i experience greater challenges in the future that they are experiencing right now or will i move forward like i do right now with my smaller struggles?
Is it really that hard to pull someone closer just because they won’t understand you fully?
That person also jokes about suicide alot. The only thing that prevents them from going further is their relationship with god.
This is the only thing that i cannot fully understand about them. I feel like whatever life throws at you, you fight back and come out stronger. It will be harsh and you might lose youself in the process but you should never admit defeat. Of course i dont tell this thought process of mine to them when they are in states of hopelessness because it will only invalidate their feelings but i do hope that they one day adopt this mindset and become more at peace.
Because of our differences i have a more optimistic point of view in life but they are more pessimistic. How do i help someone who struggles with things like depression and hopelessness? Do i even have a right to help?
I feel like i want to be the most important person in their life and i would be so proud of the day they overcome their struggles and learn to love their life and themselves. (this is all platonic). But I dont think i can be that
Ofcourse we are good friends and i wont ever leave them unless life naturally drifts us apart but should i just accept the fact that i wont become any closer to this person and move on?
