*Looks at Emma-Jayde's location*

lol, yup. I can say it because I live there!
Bwa haha they're even more likely to be strange if they come from HSPA (Hunter Perfoming Arts) *looks around* Yes, we could put 12 foot fences aroung the place with a big sign saying *Hunter Mental Institution* and no-one would notice the difference....

But seriously, none of my teachers have ever mentioned someone having a stroke and dying during the HSC exams.

well it isn't like it happens every day ....

 

[Emma-Jayde]

HEY!!!!!

He was talking about a public school i shall have to ask which one, dont take it too seriously though he is a compulsive liar i think. He tells us stories alll the time about how he's cheated the legal system and all the wonderful pranks he's played in his friends, i dont believe any of it but he seemed serious when he told us this story

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Hahaha actually that REALLY makes him sound like he came from HSPA, or Broadmeadow high it used to be!!!
We're a public school.
Actually there's a few high schools around the place renowned for the crazyness

 

[omigodwhenover]

what kind of craziness?

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Obsessive compulsive practical joke playing, lying, telling of funny stories, continous ripping people off, making up stories and seeing how long it takes before people work out that it's a joke.....
That sort of thing....
Actually maybe that's just the whole damn area.

 

[omigodwhenover]

Well maybe thats where this story started then...?

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Haha, maybe. Either that or our teachers don't want to scare us!

 

[thunderdax]

Hmmm can't say I've ever heard that one. Careful of Newcastle people. it's a very odd place.
Very odd indeed

Be especially careful of those Hunter School of Performing Arts people . Nobody knows what goes on in that school.

But seriously, I find it hard to believe this story. The closest thing I've heard to it is a guy in Kempsey blowing out his brains with a hunting rifle in front of his class (and if you think Newcastle's crazy, take a trip to Kempsey). Imagine THAT in preparation for your HSC.

Give us a break! It's not like Merrywether is renowned for its sanity either!

guys... if you start getting chronic headaches close to exam times, dont ignore them because your too busy studying, get it checked out, its not worth risking your life... a doctors appointment takes a half hour... maybe an hour out of your day... PLEASE dont ignore it!

 

[omigodwhenover]

I doubt it. It soulds about as credible as the "pens up the nose and slam head on desk" trick. It's like the urban legend that if your college room-mate commits suicide, you automatically pass the course.

Of course it's not true, though it was explored in an episode of Law and Order.

aah! i was eating you know, ive never heard that one but it made me feel sick. Yes you gotta love those urban legends, any more?

lol, i went to the doctor today. but my headaches have been there for 5 years

heres a newsflash! 90% of ppl who suffer from chronic migraines have a hole in there heart

But who cares about their marks when they're dead?

That is not entirely true, there are lots of ppl who survive stokes Von Davis is one and I'm another!!! I had one shortly after I was born, being born 3 months early I was put on oxygen. It is thought that my brain was starved of oxygen and as a result I have spastic cp and dont have the use of my left arm and hand (it is thought that I have 10% movement in left hand) and anout 75% in my right.
I also dont have the mobility in my legs to, although i do walk a bit with a frame.
When it comes to HSC I did it over 2 yrs (finishing last yr) and it was a full mainstream HSC as well. I now study Welfare at Bathurst TAFE. So you generalistic point on ppl being dead is not entirely true. Never under estimate will power because ppl do beat the odds. Take it from me!!!!

Hey, you're story is great, but I'm pretty sure that Trippendicular was directly responding to a post in which it was specified that the stroke victim died. So it wasn't really a generalisation, just a response to a specific story.

 

[suger_plum]

thats pretty freaky, im mean youd have to be pretty stresssed to have a stroke in the exams
