I seriously think people are mistaking this person for a troll.. I mean, she very well could be, but it's still not nice to say this.. because there's a possibility that shes being serious.
I'm also sceptical about whether she is genuine or not- if you look at all her posts, there's a common theme (boyfriend issue, factory job, supre, etc..) which fits in with aforementioned stereotypes, but then there aren't that many posts and it could all 'just be an act'. I haven't bothered to check all her posts (by viewing posting history) but I wouldn't be surprised if most of these (8) posts are relatively new, and if her account is say... 6 months old, it would seem that this account was likely created for the purpose of viewing SAM or to post serious questions leading upto the HSC (possibly- that she is interested in her studies). Not to mention that this site is also a study-forum primarily, so it is unlikely someone with little/no interest in schooling would have registered here to begin with.
I think there is probably some truth to her story though- maybe she really does attend Bonnyrigg High, maybe she really does work at Supre, she possibly didn't go that well in the HSC, etc... but nonetheless, I'm still sceptical.
However, as Pointdexter (sorry I don't c&p your name) pointed out- this is still a valid question and there are people out there in similar situations who may or may not stumble upon this topic- and then we should also try to not make things worse for people who are already feeling the pinch of a low UAI.
