Absolutely!

It's not Vin, but the guess is not silly at all! I always try to pick a character who is not too obscure, but I did Vin a short while back already. So, I give a bonus clue. Should be easy then, if no one gets it, I'll solve. 1. This character is an orphan. 2. This character carries a grudge. 3. This character has a problem with authority. 4. This character has more than one name. 5. This character has been given very high value gifts he/she doesn't deserve. Bonus: There is one user here who is trying to find out if this character is the most hated character in the forum.

Sadly no. My biggest problem on that front is that the people I can talk to about all kinds of stuff are simply no readers. I mean, they like to read a book now and then, but mostly they prefer other forms of entertainment. My husband is an avid videogamer, my best friend loves movies and so on... I like movies and games as well, but I really love a good book, even if I have to read it 2 or 3 pages at a time because one of the kids needs something. I was actually over the moon when I found the forum. Its just nice to have people "close" who know all about the books and to read about all kinds of theories.

Hi Halo, welcome to the shard! There is no better place to discuss all things Cosmere (and non-Cosmere ) than here. At least if no one else among your friends and family reads the books. And yes, I know that feeling...

Nope 1. This character is an orphan. 2. This character carries a grudge. 3. This character has a problem with authority. 4. This character has more than one name. 5. This character has been given very high value gifts he/she doesn't deserve.

Nope 1. This character is an orphan. 2. This character carries a grudge. 3. This character has a problem with authority. 4. This character has more than one name. (Wow, I really need to recycle those if/when I do a round for Kelsier or Marsh! )

Hi ashfellfromthesky, and welcome to the shard! As long as you are already answering questions: Who is your favorite character and why?

Nope to both 1. This character is an orphan. 2. This character carries a grudge. 3. This character has a problem with authority.

Nope 1. This character is an orphan. 2. This character carries a grudge.

Nice one! 1. This character is an orphan.

Yes, friendships can be hard, some will be, some won't. Just never forget that friendships (same as love or happiness) are like a good fart. Anyway, don't let yourself get too down, things will get better. And if you need to vent your frustration again, you'll always find someone to talk to here!

Rashek?

Again, feel hugged and keep your head up! Maybe you can talk to your mother about wanting to get a job. A lot of the kids in my school had one on the side when they were you age. It ranged from paper routes to small jobs in a supermarket. You can sell that to her by making it about learning in the real world and actual jobs of any kind are very positive on your cv (for applying to better jobs). It might give you some automity and much needed space and time away from your mother. I am a lot older than you, but at that age my best friend was also never good enough for her mother. She suffered a lot, and most of all she started to believe that she was really worthless. She developed several eating disorders and went as far as trying to kill herself. She got the help she needed eventually but asking someone else to help was the hardest thing for her. She was in a terrible place and it never was her fault but she felt that she had to get through it all on her own nevertheless. Do not forget that you are not alone. If everything seems dark, you can always call 800-273-8255 (for the US) and just anonymously talk. There are people who are a lot better in listening and helping than I am. And just talking can help. You are not alone, you are never alone! *Hug*

That is absolutely horrible. I am actually lost for words. I don't know from which country you are, but there might be people who could help you. Your mother seems to have been through a lot and probably really needs help (although she'd probably denies it) and you are really suffering for it. Are there any teachers you can trust with your story? They might be a lot closer than any more or less anonymus friends in a forum. And no, friends are not worthless in life. Actual gool friends help you through hard times and give you strength, fun brings creativity and laughter, sharing and discussing, even fighting opens your mind to endless opinions and possibilities. There is not one way to live life but as many ways as there are people on earth. It never hurts to explore because without discovering new things there can be no growth, no progess. I hope that you can find a way to make things better or to get help, and that you have the strenght to get through this horrible time. Keep you head up, if nowhere else, you have friends here and you are not worthless! *HUG*
