WARNING: HEAVY TOPICS AHEAD Hello there. If you can tell from the title, I quit. I quit Scratch. The reason why is kinda a long story. First, the safety features. When I logged into Scratch after 4-5 months, Scratch literally asked me to tell whoever logged in at that time where they lived in what country and what state. That is stupid. How is that gonna make us safer?! Even more, it asked me to give a parent/guardian email because I am "under 13", which makes sense. But, get this: I give MY email, MY OWN CHILD/SCHOOL email, AND IT ACCEPTS IT?! The safety features were probably inspired by the Roblox Age Verification. If you don't know what that is, let me explain. Roblox says that you need to scan your face to get access to chat. But, get this: THEY USE AND AI TO SEE HOW OLD YOU ARE!!!! Some people got in the right age group, but some people got into the 35 age group while being 10. Someone else also got 10 years old, but they were 25. BUT, THE ACCOUNT WAS MADE IN 2015! Did they make the account in the womb? I also quit because of my grades. Even though my grades are good, my parents make me quit Scratch to improve my grades. Here's the funny part: MY GRADES ARE ALREADY GOOD! They are around at a 3.5 to 4, which is exceeding grade level standards. I'm in 6th grade, btw. But, get this, my dad says, "You need to be the top student so I can brag to my friends!" Alright, buddy, no thank you. He even says that it would be easier cuz I am gifted. One more thing, I also quit because of my mental health. My mom (sometimes dad, but not really) has been, how do I say this, kinda abusive to me. My mom loves to hit me in any way, shape, or form when I do something wrong. And it isn't for any really bad things like breaking stuff or saying a curse word. It's for the small things like forgetting to do stuff. She even hit me for doing things that she TOLD me to do! Like doing the laundry, for example. Because of this, my mental health is deteriorating faster than expected. Now, my mental health deteriorates really slowly every day. You would never notice the difference in one day, but at around 3-5 years, you would notice a big change. I also have no friends. Everyone I try to make friends with either: 1. Ignore me. 2. Say no. 3. Push or punch me. 4. Say yes, but be a fake friend. These issues make me have no friends. The most is number 3. Most people just straight up push me. And why I asked why, they said because I'm too "Asian". But, get this, there is another Asian kid from the same country, yet HE is more popular. How does this make sense? My mental health is around 75%, and it decreases by around 0.075 a day. Yeah, it's kinda slow. But that could add up. Just to let you know, I am not at the point where I have bad thoughts, that is around 10%, which would take a long time. But I am at the point where I would always have a straight face, not a sad one. So I quit. I will come back now and then to see if I get any new followers and stuff like that, but besides that, I am gone. Thanks for everything. I will miss all of you. Thanks for the followers, too. You all keep me going. Farewell. -JustASpeedrunner ⊂((・▽・))⊃
@Scratch, if this is too inappropriate for kids, please take this down. Thanks.
