That you could eliminate from your life, what would it be? An annoying person? An aspect of your life that always affects you? Or something less serious, such as acne? Anything, serious or funny, is welcome

Personally, I'd get rid of learning Maths as a compulsory subject in school. I know the basics. Why do I need more?
 
Easy. Hearing impairment.

It's decimated my ability to keep a job for any real duration. Prevented me from having friends long term. I don't do as well in school. Etc.

The absolute worst thing is this; Since I'm hearing impaired, I don't fit in with full hear'ers. At the same time I'm not considered part of the deaf community either.

Yeah I used to have the same opinion on maths but the exercises help build the mind to take a much more measured and formulaic approach to reasoning, not to mention you come to the realisation that everything you do is based on calculations.

I'd eliminate my procrastination. I always find an excuse to leave something until the last minute and I often never actually finish the task. :ffs:

Not eliminating, but I'd vouch for an introduction to cultural studies in school and to make that subject compulsory. The vast majority of people have no idea why they feel and think about things and how culture and philosophy transcends every orifice of society and one's person.
 
I would choose to eliminate my really awful health - and have an improved immune system. I tend to catch colds really often - and during summer, hayfever is the ailment that ruins the moment for me. Having my nose act as a tap turned on rather often is just irritating as hell. In the past it has affected my performance in some exams.

Luckily other than chicken pox when I was three or four, I haven't really caught any illness more major and serious than the simple cold. It just seems that no matter what I do (vitamins etc.), I still catch colds often. I would love to be rid of that. >_>
 
Most of the paternal side of my family because they don't respect me or most of the time acknowledge me.

When they do acknowledge me most of the time they treat me as an afterthought
 
Easy decision.
I'd change my personality.
My current personality is too socially awkward.
Like, 3/10 people can handle me, which is sad, since I really like having friends. My current ones say I care too much, which is true.
 
This is such a hard choice so I will just go with something
I would eliminate my procrastination as well. I always leave it until the last night. Instead of checking what to do, I check what is due tomorrow...
It is a terrible habit :gonk:
 
It would be worrying/caring too much, i don't like it at all. I'm one of those types of people where once i start worrying i can't stop it. Even though things turn out ok, be they good or bad i worry. I try not to but its hard, i can't just not worry. But anyway before this post gets longer, i'll end it with this...

If i could get rid of this easily i would, out of everything i am this is the one thing i don't like about myself.
 
I'm just gunna play the vanity card, I'd eliminate my fat bits. And they can stay eliminated too. I hate that I out the majority of the weight I gain on my belly and my hips, it makes me look really out of proportion. So yeah, that can do one
 
My need for money. So, either give me enough money so that I never have to work or forgo the things I'd like, or make it so that I get everything handed to me. I can deal with everything else when I don't have to worry about my finances.
 
Thw hole caring thing I could understand. I don't like becoming too involved in stuff but always end up doing so.

Yes! :gonk: Money is something I always feel I need, to buy the stuff i can't buy. I resent when I have to go ages without money, and can become unlikeable.
 
The need for food. It would be easier if you never needed to eat it, so then you wouldn't put on the pounds - and you can save them.
 
I would like to change how I learn. I'm evenly auditory, visual and kinesthetic at the same time. It's bullshit. I struggle so hard in school and I can't learn like everyone else, so I'm categorized as a retard, which I'm not. I'm smarter than most everyone else I know and I am actually quite conceited about it. I don't care. I deserve to be.
 
Illness. I would get rid of it in a heartbeat. My husband suffers from communicable MRSA that will never go away. He'll have it for the rest of his life. I suffer from stomach/digestive problems, a hiatal hernia and epilepsy. My son suffers from consistent allergy problems. He's always sneezing, coughing, congested and sometimes breaks out in a rash on his arms and face. We've had cancer in both of our families, heart disease, diabetes. So if I had my way about it, I'd eliminate all illness so we could at least live our days feeling healthy and not sick all the time.
 
I would hate not neding food. It's delcious.

I hear you Keely. I used to have something back in primary (elementary) school that made me eligible for special needs (which to me and my classmates was the same as retard) It ruined my life for primary and most of secondary (high) school. Only in the last two years have I eliminated the stigma that comes with it.

I understand illness too, Mandi. I'mvery prone to infection, we have diabetes, cancer, fatal breathing problems such as asthma. It's very worrying.
 
Easy,remove violence from the world,theres crime everywhere,or should i say,eliminate all guns and knives in the world,or eliminate war and terrorists.

Personally if it was something possible it would be eliminate solitude in Africa to help the continent.
 
People say im awkerd to be around and popular kids call me a freak and treat me bad, like one time, this boy nick who is super popular, was talking too much so the teacher told him to sit by me, and he was like "ewww no way im sitting by that freak!" and everyone laughed at me :gonk:
So i wish people liked me
 
Illness in my family if that would be possible. I would make sure my grandparents are well. They worry me when they cough, have a small tumble or have a doctors checkup. I love them dearly and dont want anything to happen to them.
 
I don't know what it is, but people just don't like me. I get bullied, people try to beat the crap out of me, and I have very few real friends. I just want to live without that, I wish it would all go away. Just let me be myself, I'm not a freak. I'm smarter than everyone, and they know that, I'm also small. But why do they pick on me, why can't it just stop.
