Does the internet make you stupid? seriously?
This is a highly controversial subject. I personally think that it can make you smarter or dumber. Sitting at the computer all day can decrease your brain power, no matter if you're on the internet or not. But you can get way smarter by surfing the net, too, For instance, the Yahoo News headlines has some quite interesting stuff. I've learned a lot since making Yahoo my homepage and seeing interesting articles and news stories there. Basically, I think the internet can make you smarter. But as I've said earlier, the soul act of sitting at the computer all day can harm your brain. Just make sure that you're on the computer minimally and you can actually get smarter on the internet.
Why am I so stupid?
prehaps you need to focus more on the details of the situation and properly think things through before you act on it.Just slow your thoughts and think about thingsd before you do them
How come I'm so stupid?
Aw I know how you feel Im the same except I would say english is one of my favorite subjects even though I dont get good grades in it. I failed algebra and enviro science last year and i am repeating algebra this year and taking integrated science which is easier. I mostly gets ds and cs but I try not to let it get to me I just keep my head up. Remember you are more than your grades but trust me I know how bad it feels. We wont be in school forever and grades dont matter after your done with school. I tell myself that all the time. I was diagnosed with adhd when I was younger but my mom never let me get treated for it well now she is thinking about it because I had a heart to heart talk with her. Do you thing you could have something like that to or maybe a learning disability. If so then you might get help in school. If not just remember it wont be forever and I think you seem smart from reading what you wrote. Find other ways to make yourself happy and to feel good and proud of yourself like volunteer or join a club or something. Remember being smart is not the same as being a good person or being successful in your life for example one of my best friends is so smart he pretty much doesnt have to study at all but he thinks his whole life is going to be pointless for other reasons and it might be true but who can tell this early. You can still have a happy and good life, just believe in yourself and remember your not the only person who feels that way. I feel that way but its not going to make me give up on graduating or life. When you feel that way just find someone to talk to like a friend or parent and they can try to make you feel better. Also have you tried talking to your teachers and seeing if you can get a tutor or extra credit or anything, I didnt do that last year but this year I am going to. Hugs!
Why are dogs so stupid compared to cats? seriously i can compare lolz.?
Dogs are harder to potty train. Theyll often sh*t where they want. Cats though learn to use litterboxes. Dogs make loud annoying barking noises sometimes even for no reason or for dumb reasons. Cats are quiet and less annoying plus they don't run around the house like idiots as opposed to dogs. Dogs also let their owners abuse em as for cats who would claw anyone who did that and cats are more sly and sneaky. Dogs often beg for food too and snatch food out of the trash like dumb pigs. Do dogs not have brains or something? Lmao. Why can't they just be more like cats?
I feel like I'm really stupid...?
Oh my gosh, first and formost taking your life is NEVER an answer. And personally, race is sooooo not an issue, yes you may be chinese but EVERYBODY is different. And an 18 out of a 25 is great on the ACT explore, especially cause it was a practice. I took it too and i got the same score(: colleges look for around 20-23 is like the usual colleges, at least, thats what iv heard. And they only do those tests to see where you are at now in your academic learning. I honestly believe that you are being way to hard on yourself. Everyone learns at different pases and are stronger in other things then others. I get that same grades as you. But in the end we just have to study a little harder then most. And never be ashamed to ask for help. That was the biggest step for me. Not feeling ashamed to ask for help. And if anyone gives you crap about being asian and asking for help in math, just be like "oh im sorry, i didnt know EVERY SINGLE ASIAN IN THE WORLD had to be a genius in math. Are you a die-hard football fan? You're not?? Cause i heard EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN HAS TO LOVE FOOTBALL" Its total jugement on racism. And coming from a freshman, whos wanted and come very close to killing herself....please dont. Theres soooo much to be happy about, and so much to do. You can't beat yourself up. You need to cut yourself some slack because freshman year is really hard. Thats when everything comes at you 10× harder and you have to change your whole perspective around. I just want you to know that everyone has a weakness. And everyone has trouble in school. But we get through it. We study harder and kick a$$ cause when we graduate we'll be able to look back and say... " we made it." I really hope this helps. Never give up, and don't let anything or anyone get in your way of being freakin awesome(: <3
Why do I feel so stupid all of a sudden?
Okay so when I was 13 I started smoking weed and cigarettes which I HIGHLY regret doing. I did so for about a year until stopped when I was 14 and a half. The reason I quit was because out of nowhere I started feeling really strange, I felt I wasn't quite aware of my surroundings, I was clumsy and found it hard to keep my balance, my speech was sort of slurred, I'd constantly zone out, and I was always paranoid because I had to hide what I felt from my dad and family. I have strong feeling it might have been because I use to smoke weed out of soda pop cans when I didn't have anything else to use... how stupid I was to do that. My life feels horrible now though, I'm afraid my brain isn't developing the way it should be, like I'm mentally behind in growth from my peers. I'm also terrified that I won't grow up to be a stable adult and achieve my dreams... It's been a good 7 months since I started feeling like this and it's not going away very much at all, I'm desperate for something or someone to help me, but I simply cannot tell my dad, he'd never trust me again. So my question here would be if there's ANYONE out there who knows what might be wrong with me, or has the same problem, or knows ANY kind of solution to make the problem better at all, could you please answer this saying it. I've just about poured my heart out here and I don't feel like I can keep living like this, thank you..

Why do I feel so stupid sometimes? Does it happen with everybody?
It happens to everyone. People think intelligence is a universal thing. If you are smart in one area you must be smart in all areas. It's called the Smart Person Fallacy. When something stymies you, or you find yourself unable to process something, or if you make a normal, careless mistake, it's human nature to compare that to the things that you do with ease, often forgetting that the things accomplish with ease were once things you struggled with.Feeling stupid is feeling disappointed in yourself for failing to live up to an unrealistic ideal about your knowledge of things or how to do things. Smart people do dumb things: Lisa Nowak was a NASA mission specialist in robotics (she controlled the shuttle arm). She was arrested in Florida attempting to kidnap Air Force Sargent Colleen Shipman who was romantically involved with William Oefelein. Somehow, Nowak, a clearly intelligent woman, made a series of very stupid decisions that led her to lose everything she had worked for: She was reduced in rank and discharged from the Navy under less than honorable conditions. Why would anyone, let alone someone obviously this intelligent do something like this? Smart Person Fallacy.People who are conventionally regarded as somewhat less intelligent do smart things: June Shannon (mother of Honey Boo Boo) is depositing the money from the reality show into five different trust funds that cannot be touched until the beneficiaries reach 21. Pretty savvy, right? I can't say that I would be that forward thinking if I had that kind of money ($15,000 to $20,000 per episode). The family survives on what the husband makes and other than a Ford Expedition have made no extravagant purchases. My ultimate point is this: Everyone does stupid things sometimes. Understand that isn't a reflection on your actual intelligence, but simply a matter of being ignorant of something, or distracted by something, or being inexperienced and don't compare it to the things you do well. Instead, consider it a moment to learn something new or do something better next time. Revel in the opportunity to expand yourself and become a better person than you were the moment before.
