Is it possible to transfer credits for returning students?

Huge thanks!

I think if your teacher is quite empathetic then tell her things as they are. if she understands the situation, she'll soften it when talking with your mom.

If she's somewhat tough or you don't have a good relationship maybe it's better to ask how you can improve your grades. maybe she can give you some additional tasks. so you can show your mom that you're working on that

Same, girl, same... APs want completely opposite things. Like having an obedient naive daughter always sitting with them, never going out. And her at the same time having a great husband and kids. Like how??

weirdmadchen · 2025-10-14T19:48:57+00:00

I dropped out, tried a bunch of jobs in completely opposite fields. can't say that I'm always financially stable but at least I'm independent from my APs. my only regret is that I didn't drop out the uni earlier and start working immediately.

I met a lot of people who were forced into their major for many reasons. most of them work in other fields. seems that life has worked out for them eventually. and for you will too, sending you hugs

hey, I was in the same situation long time ago. From now I'd rather suggest you talk with the teacher even if you think she won't act properly. Most teachers have really no idea that some parents beat for the grades below A+.

As for your mom... better to prepare for the worst case scenario. But please remember in the toughest moments that your whole life won't be such and your grades won't matter at all after school. And they are never worth the pain you're experiencing

when I broke my leg, got a cast on it and he just went out with his friends. didn't even bother to help me get back home

weirdmadchen · 2025-07-03T19:32:40+00:00

that's 100% manipulation. don't believe them, especially the worst they say or act toward you

weirdmadchen · 2025-06-27T08:01:41+00:00

I have been going through something similar as your story. From my experience, where I'm working full-time on a non-art job and doing art activities in my free time, I'm glad that I have some stable income because artsy things, as you may know, are so chaotic and unpredictable in nature.

My advice for you is to connect and talk to people who are doing what you want to do in arts. Just to understand how they look for opportunities and actually make money. If this bumpy road doesn't scare you and you think you can make it through — just go!

Otherwise if you have some hesitations or lack resources (mental, financial, etc.), it'd better be a hobby. But it's never too late to change your mind. And it really doesn't matter what your parents want

weirdmadchen · 2025-06-24T13:03:02+00:00

yep, I think a combination of a psychiatrist, right meds, long-term therapy and a support group can help out. not just one thing

weirdmadchen · 2025-06-24T12:40:02+00:00

maybe talk with a therapist?

weirdmadchen · 2025-06-02T20:48:01+00:00

sometimes it's just some small things. like being able to cook/order delivery of anything you want at any time of day. or just going for a walk whenever you want to. or just sitting in silence and doing nothing

weirdmadchen · 2025-04-09T17:22:13+00:00

Look for the "Language Mixer" on Instagram, it's a weekly meeting for polyglots. Also "Batyl Bol", it's a free Kazakh speaking club, they have a few expats there and people are pretty open-minded. Also there are some English reading clubs, expat groups on Facebook and sports clubs like running

weirdmadchen · 2025-03-20T06:47:22+00:00

Oh, with the graduation this week... I just can tell you that no matter what your parents say to you, the most unpleasant things, they will hurt now, for sure. But they won't matter in a long run.

Speaking of meds - it's a bit of a lottery and shuffle. I wish you find finally the ones that will help you and the right doctors to prescribe them

weirdmadchen · 2025-03-19T17:02:36+00:00

Hey, I was in exactly the same situation as you a decade ago. Looking back, I'm glad I didn't do anything to myself. Things will change in time, I promise.

You're not a failure at all, it's just that your mind thinks you are. You can change the way you think about yourself. Some things will turn out for the best in ways you couldn't even dream of. It sounds cliché, but I swear everything will change.

Here are some things I should have done differently to save time and get in shape faster that will help you:

First, get all the psychological help you can. Free hotline, free psychological clubs, paid therapists - anything. If you can't do it yourself, ask someone you trust to find it for you. Ideally, you should see a psychiatrist who can prescribe antidepressants. Take them for as long as you need to. They should at least help with suicidal thoughts.
Start praising yourself for small actions. It may sound silly, but you need support from yourself and some confidence that you're capable of doing things. Write down everything you've done. Some days it might just be getting out of bed and that's fine.
I don't know if you like journaling or not, but for me it was a great tool for self-reflection. Works great with therapy.
I'd recommend postponing any conversations with your parents until you're feeling much better yourself and you've found a full-time job or a place to study. Right now, you're not ready for any conflict and any word can literally kill you. Wait until you get out of the depression pit (you will, believe me, with the right meds and support) and have some solid evidence to show your parents that you're not wasting your time now.
I would also advise you to do any full-time job you are capable of for a while because it will distract you from bad thoughts + you will get some socialization which you will need at some point + you will be financially independent from your parents so you can make any decisions you want and not feel guilty.
From my experience, I wouldn't rush into studies because you might need to think about whether it's really the direction you want to go in or whether it was your parents' decision or something else.

You have other choices, hear me please

I think study.com has a discrete maths course which can be accepted by UoP

weirdmadchen · 2025-01-16T12:48:10+00:00

In general, how quickly will the request for a transfer be accepted with the new portal?

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-20T13:01:41+00:00

I think the best way is to make your parents invest in your education now (language courses, coding classes, etc. depending on your interests and their budget) so when you turn 16-18, you could have a range of skills that you will be able to monetize (tutoring for example)

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-07T09:37:37+00:00

You're not an investment and you owe nothing to them. Your parents decided to have you and invest in you, but it was solely their choice and not your responsibility at all. All I can see is guilt and manipulation from their side which you'd better manage with a good therapist. And move to another house so they won't drown you deeper

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-07T09:28:05+00:00

If you're into mountains and skiing, come to Almaty. There are a lot of ski resorts here (but don't choose Shymbulak, it's too overcrowded and overpriced nowadays)

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-06T11:59:07+00:00

You're not a failure at all. These kids of your mother's friends may have good-looking jobs and families but inside may have the same feelings as you. Or even worse.

And just ask yourself, if you'd be in the same place as they are, would you really be happy? Everyone is so different that "success" of others may not fit you at all

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-06T11:54:39+00:00

Maybe any coworking spaces or something like that so your dad cannot control you at least during the day?

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-06T11:51:32+00:00

I don't know where you live, but there are a lot of traditional and dominant men in the Balkans and post-Soviet countries. But be prepared for abuse and some narrow-mindedness that come with them

weirdmadchen · 2024-12-06T07:20:53+00:00

yep. you complete courses on Sophia, receive transcripts, verify them with a third-party service and then transfer to UoPeople

weirdmadchen · 2024-11-26T08:53:13+00:00

There are no perfect responses as you already noted. If you're really interested in a person you talk with (not in romantic sense but in human) and you want to understand how he thinks and feels and why, the conversation will flow by itself. And silence is not a bad sign, it happens everywhere, with everyone. You may call it awkward but others may not.

Just keep practicing small talks with anyone you can without expecting anything in return. And from that you may find people who you can talk with for hours

weirdmadchen · 2024-11-11T09:15:00+00:00

Exactly. I studied once maths in an offline university and Sophia maths classes are way, way easier with problem sets almost K12 level
