ok, yup. lemme explain more. and below are the pros and cons. (more details on my leaving will come later such as when along with an official goodbye) so, this upcoming year is my first year of high school. my middle school years where rough bc i am a procrastinator and spend to much time on scratch when i need to be doing homework. this next year i want to do better in my classes but i need to get rid of my unhealthy scratch obsession. i have tried before by taking a hiatus but i couldn't keep myself off. and the only other thing i can think of is deleting my accounts. yes, it would be hard for me. but scratch is becoming way to important to me. and its taking time away from more important things. and its also something my mom and sisters can hold over my head. any time i do anything my mom does not like she threatens to take away scratch and my sisters hog the computer and make me do things to get it from them. i also am going to have to work this year along with more advanced theater and school classes that i will have to work harder in and take more seriously. and if i want to keep up i will have to work harder. i also am not thrilled about some of the things i have been exposed to on scratch and all the drama and negativeness around takes a tole on my mood. and it is not healthy. and i think i have more reasons but i am rambling and yeah. so, i am currently seriously considering leaving scratch. if i was to leave, i would make sure i have ways to contact all my close friends and try to make sure it is clear with my mom so i don't get it taken away by being found out. i also would possibly come back once i get my life figured out and my bad habits broken, but that would not be a promise. i truly do feel like i have done what i was meant to do on scratch and that it is time for me to move on. i would still keep contact with my scratch friends through other means as long as they want to. but yeah, thats it. the pros and cons that led me to this thought are below.
pros: 1. obsession would be gone 2. negativeness gone 3. power held by siblings and mom gone 4. more time to break bad habits and build good ones gained 5. drama gone 6. more time to work to pay for voice lessons 7. time to work hard and do good in classes so i can go to collage when i grow up and so i can get a good job so i can make money so i can make it so i can meet up with scratch friends IRL cons: 1. people would be sad 2. not being able to help others on scratch 3. leaving voice acting
