I never got used to the violin. I got so crushed when I wanted to play to my cousins, and as soon as i got it out they ran away screaming about how lousy I was gonna be!! My 6-year-old ego was wounded!

Aaw *huggles*
It's ok my dad asked who was killing the cat the first few times I played.

My father-side family doesn't seem that much interested either when I used to play for them, either. But then running away without even waiting for you to play is just rude.

I'll just attribute it to the fact that we were kids and didn't know any better!

Yeah but my dad's a full grown man and he was rude! HE HAS NO EXCUSE!

A quote I found somewhere: "If youth is not a valid excuse, old age is even less of one."

Well, my mom's been practicing the same violin piece for like half the year now and she's still horrible at it. She started studying violin about a month before I did.

My parents don't play any insrtaments so they can't insult me properly, I usally say back to them "At least can play something!"

Yeah. When I failed my first college math subject, Precalculus, (another pair of broken wings) my brother and the parents teased me a lot. I simply showed them the exam questions so they have an idea the hell I had to go through.

I've never been good at maths, I had to do an entrance exam to get to my school and my maths failed me but luckily I did so well in all the other subjects. (I got 1 answer correct in maths outta 50. )

Youch. Here you fail a subject when you get a final average of less than 55%. You actually pass when your average is no less than 60%. With an average between that you'll have to take a removal exam. I failed because I only got a 53, I think.

It's beeter than my 2%.

Did your parents poke you about that as well?

Yeah they hired me a privet maths tutor.

From the rolling eyes I discern he/she's not that good?

Yeah she started by telling me to write my 2 X table, she must think I'm pretty stupid.
