Damn. Right in the feels at the end.
Statistically, she's probably not doing great, especially with religious parents.

Some of that is ADHD but some of it is non supportive parents. I never doubted my intelligence, or self worth. I did suck at homework and do good on tests.
Edit: tldr for the rest I no like homework and am competitive.
I failed algebra and could do most of it in my head because I just couldn't be bothered to spend the time to do the homework. I had to retake the second semester again and was sitting at 32% after a quarter, I had passing out good grades in every test but did zero homework. In order to avoid a third time I did all my homework the last quarter got at least an A if not 100% on every test and quiz and had 2nd highest grade which was over 100% it of all my teachers classes. Brought my grade up to a D + by the numbers but teacher gave me a B+.
I much preferred college math where my grade was only tests. My ex gf from highschool who later married my best friend happened to be in all my undergrad math classes. I did bad on my first trig quiz when i went back to college at 26. She talked shit to me so I got a study buddy and she never beat me on another test for trig, calculous 1 or 2.
My study partner bless his heart busted his ass for those classes and got B's. I browsed Reddit in class and studied for an hour or 2 with him and was top 3 in the class.
I was terrible at proofs in discrete math though.
And for anybody that actually read this I'm sorry for my ramblings.
I really hope that that girl's doing okay today
@DylanMc6 ouch.
Ouch
I … I’m basically her, but born much earlier and trans.
Oh god. I really want to give her a hug.
Want to cry now
I really hope that that girl's doing okay today
Yet to watch, but regarding the title, something I learned back in elementary school, if the part in parenthesis is bigger than what's not, parenthesis shouldn't be used.
But those are my squirrel thoughts (which are typically much longer because I have ADHD and I like to explain my thought process in them)
As long as you don't try to apply this rule in algebra 😅
