After that wonderful post, welcome to our weekly Friday rubric: Is asking for help a sign of weakness or not? What are YOUR opinions? It would be nice if someone commented on this for a change or else I'll have to abolish it or make it daily and change the title to ''What are MY opinions''. Seeing as I know what they are, I hardly need to go broadcasting them. That is NOT THE POINT OF THIS RUBRIC. Originally this was going to be a ''story update'' i.e. one writes a story and every week, one continues it. Maybe that would appeal more than this psycho-babble?
Anyway:
Some people (arrogant, think they are the best type) say ''yes''. Others try to convince you of the contrary by saying that it is stupid to spend hours trying to do it, becoming more and more frustrated when there's someone right next to you, who knows how to do it.
Gawd, can't be bothered to write today... It's a ''yes and no'' situation yet again:
On one hand it is, because you are accepting defeat. You feel much better when you've found the answer yourself. It gives you a sense of accomplishment.
On the other hand, what's wrong in admitting that one doesn't know how to do something? It's not a crime! Everybody can do some things better and why not ask them how to do it? The next time you'll be able to do it yourself!
So, now for what the victim, oops I mean volunteer, thinks. Oh wait, we haven't picked one yet! Okay. *Starts the name picker program* And the winner is... *Drum rolls* How surprising! This came completely unexpected, but it's MYSELF!
So, yes I'm quite proud at times, so I don't ask for help. The motto being ''Don't need your help, I can do it MYSELF!'' Basically it ends up with the Chemistry brochure being taught how to fly! No one else has a clue about Chemistry in our house, so there is NO ONE to ask! Well, it depends other days I do.
We'll end this here, startin' to loose the thread and all I can say is: My Hero is hilarious!!!
The end!

Well i will answer WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS and the friday (woops im replyin on saturaday) rubric by saying. There's nothing wrong with asking help from teachers or friends and i think everybody gets that. But some people get very pissy if u ask them a second q/s. And sometimes they think they know the answer and when they tell u they expect an applause but u know that they're in actual fact wrong cuz it doesn't sound right.
