So...I've never really been part of a forum before. I've read a lot of forums, so I get how it works, I've just never joined in, created threads, or talked to people.
I'm an awkward person though, so it makes sense.
I'll just start off with the basics I guess:
I'm a socially declined 18yr old female, and currently attempting to graduate high school. I didn't not graduate because of video-games, I had a rather...horrible school year in Grade 11 causing me to fail 6/8 classes. One more semester though and I'll be finished!
I play a lot of video games, mostly Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, AC, Titanfall, Halo: Reach & 4, The Witcher, NFS, Borderlands, and recently bought Metro 2033 -- as you can see my collection is rather small, but that's because I don't spend much money on video games, I just spend a lot of time playing the ones I have.
I do a lot of writing (fanfiction & fiction), and sometimes like to draw things (but I'm not that good at it).
As mentioned, I'm awkward & socially declined. I'm also very troubled, and I find my escape in video games and writing.
I'm currently trying to branch out and meet people/make friends, and I'm doing so online because it's easier for me to get to know people not face-to-face.
I've decided to nickname myself Katt online, because I'd rather not have my real name out quite yet.

So that's just some simple stuff, I'm always on my computer (and xbox) so if anyone ever wants to talk, inbox me.

Welcome to the forums. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine here. Jump on in and throw some comments in. Extra points if you can make people laugh...or curse.

I'm a 19 yr old female and shared similar problems that you have, Kat.

In total I spent only a year or so in Public High School. The rest was homeschooling. The last year after a month I just gave up, preferring to have good health and no stress than to end up a shadow of my former self with all the hoops I had to jump through in school. I got my GED recently and passed. I didn't study for it, and passed the first takes on all of them, which showed that even though I was smart and competent enough for school, I wasn't mentally capable or tolerant of the system along with the stress it brought. I had a 3.5 GPA at first quarter in 11 grade, but it didn't matter. I got stressed and my grades dropped, and I would get sick. Stress does horrible things.

I too use video games to cope, just to leave reality for a short time and recuperate. It's like a punching back, or a speed walk to shed off stress. I went onto the Skyrim Forums after I played Skyrim for a few months, knowing I would share something in common with other people. Even if it was on the internet. (I was always an outcast, and have always been a tomboy, so school in that aspect was already hard. Especially wealthy families from farming families flaunting off their stuff. I wasn't jealous but boy was it annoying when they cried after not having their way)

So just know you're not alone. I also do a lot of role playing on here and sometimes I help other on here with game questions and such. You might find me around.

I share my story with other people so they don't feel alone. If you have troubles in school, I'm sure others or even myself my give you some advice. A lot of us have been there. It gets better eventually.

I hope you have a good time here. We're friendly people. :) Hardly any bullies and if they exist, admins and moderators pretty much put a leash on them. Welcome to the forums!

Awkward hello to you, @Katface

I'm sure you'll fit in just right here. We all have our knacks and troubles and the most of us here are quite understanding. So you don't have to be shy much around us. Although creating an account already proved that, kinda ;)
