2012
Okay so my SO's best friend has five kids and a bunch of different BM's. I do not care for this guy at all. He is rude, disrespectful, obnoxious, and just plain gross. When I first met him he tried hitting on my in front of my SO! My SO just laughed it off but to me thats not funny and he isnt a great friend if he would do something like that. Anyways I am getting off topic lol. I read here a lot about SMs that have teenage kids that are doing really poorly in school and I was wondering if anyone had of this excuse. My SO's friend has a son that is 15. He goes to the local high school and he seems like a decent kid to me. Well I guest lately his grades are all F's. So my SO's friend asked his son Why are you doing so bad? You need to raise these grades blah blah blah. His son said Dad why do I need good grades the world is going to end in 2012 and thats like a year away......................I thought I had heard it all the dog hate my homework or Someone stole my homework this kid said the world was ending lol

Hell it's not just 2012.
Hell it's not just 2012. Why Godsgift said that grades are not important and that kids will turn out the way they turn out so no parenting needed!!
OH and yes, his kids (who are stealing, lying, socially stunted sociopaths)are GOOD KIDS!!
Um, yeah, I have a ct, he's
Um, yeah, I have a ct, he's 11, that says that as well. I made him do some research and write a paper on it. He found out that there is absolutely 0 evidence that the world will actually end in 2012 and while he still tries to say it once in awhile I will pull out the paper and ask him to read it.
Yep. I think it's according
Yep. I think it's according to a Mayan prediction.
The funny thing. There was a family on one of the reality shows that was buying all kinds of stuff on credit. You
know the ads that say no payments for two years. So they were going to enjoy all this stuff without having to pay
a penny. They had no worries as the world was going to end in 2012 and there would be no one around to collect
on the bad debt.
@ burnet Wow incredible!! How
@ burnet Wow incredible!! How could they do that? @ hismineandours I love the idea of making this kid do a research paper. I am going to tell my SO later tonight. I just thought it was so funny how calm and cool he was like he had really thought about this and the world is going to end so I am going to piss away my education.
Wow. I would have to struggle
Wow. I would have to struggle with the decision to laugh uncontrolably or knock him upside the head. So do we think the kid acctually believes that? I only ask because just before Christmas break my very intellegent yet apparently gullable DD12 came home terribally upset and all worked up in knots because her SocStudies teacher went in depth on what makes 12/21/12 a plausable end off the world date. I had to spend the rest of the evening unwinding her and explaining why her teach and those like him are batshit crazy and how wrong it was for him to discuss his nutty theory with jr high students. Spent the next morning getting her class changed and calmly wiggin out on a teacher.... Anyway. Teenagers are dumb. Not stupid. But really dumb. He very well could have met a convienceing quack.... Or be a gifted BSer
Every time someone comes
Every time someone comes along and says, "The world is going to end on X/X/X", the date comes and goes....
and the world goes on.
The Mayan calendar ended on that date. That is not necessarily of any significance. How long were they SUPPOSED to have their calendar keep going?
MY calendar ends on Dec 31 of THIS YEAR! Does that mean the world is going to end??
I know my dumbass BIL was trying to claim that the situation in Japan wasn't as bad as the media made it out to be. In the next breath, he was saying that it was a sign that the world WAS going to end in 2012. HUH?!??!
Sorry, but I think that humans will die of extinction before the "world ends."
I was going to school during
I was going to school during the big Y2K scare and didn't use that as an excuse. What ever happened to that theory? I remember watching the Mayans on the history channel about the world ending in 2012 and that show was like 10 years ago! Doesn't help that all these movies are coming out about it. I don't watch them, they scare me LOL.
