My greatest demon would definitely have to be homework. In these final days of the school year (yay! ) it seems that all teachers do is load tons of homework on you. I'm such a huge procrastinator, so this basically is pretty hard. But I'm sure theres many more procrastinators out there who agree with me, eh?

Well it seems me and you have something in common twilightprince!...im probably the biggest procrastinator you will ever meet
I have exams coming in less than 2 weeks ...yet i keep putting off revision... ..rawr!!

I also find that!....as soon as you get anywhere near to the end of a school year...the teachers pile on the work like theres no tomorrow... ...i swear they do it to torture us!

Argh! *punches bully*...darn! you should have chucked a rock at their sorry heads! (ok...don't take that seriously...I am just having a mental rant here)...well, the best piece of my pathetic advice is; ignore them, don't let the idiots get to your fun!
Well, bullies have never really been my 'demon', in fact I have never suffered more than the occasional teasing...(so it's bit ironic coming from me)...but I hate bullies! I mean ok, I get that they may be having problems of their own, but they have no right to enforce it on others', no matter how depressed they feel!

I beg to differ...I am probably the procratinating queen...I only study at the most half-an hour for my major tests...and...I always finish my assignments & homework the minute before it is due and I still manage to get good marks my friends get jealous, cause they finish their own assignments 4 days before & study for 8 hours straight & get middle-classed marks! Homework hasn't really been much of an issue for me (I mean sure, I act like a mad scientist when I am finishing last-minute term projects)...but I dunno...i've never felt that h/w has been one of my priorities.

Haha *bows down to the procrastinating queen*...yea i generally get good grades considering but then i think to myself if you did study imagine what you could get...but alas the lazy side of me rules once more its dead annoying really ....
..once i had like 3 whole weeks to do an english essay thing...i did it the night before (stayed up until like 3.a.m) ..oh well

the only reason its probably my demon is that my school is so determined to give us so much of it!!
It takes all your free time up....god as if going to school in the first place wasnt bad enough !

thankyou loyal subject...under my training you shall soon graduate from the procrastinating academy...

yea, that's me...on one side you have the really hyper-active-crazy-moving me...on the other you have the nah-can't-be-stuffed lazy me...it's really quite a clash...

*hi-5*...that is sooo me...looks like your progressing well, my friend...

too true...you know I've always thought I have been pushing my limits to even go to school in the 1st place as well...

haha *Hi-5's!!* it happens often i was like a crazy woman typing because i had put some of the work on my flash drive but the files were corrupt and when i looked to finish it off that night everything was completely gone....hence me staying up until 3 a.m!!

why is that??...you dont like school?

hehe...yeah...but you only get the diploma if you pay attention...or not...

too true...the only times, my motivated side has kicked the lazyness is while i'm playing sport...

oh, I hate it when that happens...even worse than having a spastic computer...

is that even a question?...
nah, but sometimes (note the word carefully)...I actually enjoy school; apart from the cruel teachers, stupid assignments, b*itchy girls, stupid late trains & buses, ghastly uniforms, prison classrooms, crappy lockers etc. etc...

Yea that was a stupid question!!
cruel teachers and girls??...i dont think id be able to take it!
I hate school....the students are pretty good compared to what ive heard of other schools..and the teachers are real nice and coz its a small school you get quite friendly with the teachers....its just some of the people that run the school that give me a hard time
p.s i feel your pain on the horrible uniform -.-

hehe, that was me in kindigarten...always coming home & dutifully doing my h/w... being such a darling angel...
but slowly as timed passed, my lazy brain cells developed; with the additional hyperness...and um...yea...dramatic change there...
my dad always keeps telling that i've become awful, since the last few years...

*joins you in campaign*...wait, let me get my sign...
school...*moan*...o thankyou, finally some consideration in the uniform...ugh...we have to wear a grey checked skirt *shudder*...
ok, a question..."Do you fear your other demons more than you fear yourself?"

Id have to say no!

You could say that my other demons (school/homework) arent really as bad as it seems...i probably over dramatize (sp?!!) because we all have to moan about something or other...but myself for some reason its something i cant control and you'd think that i would be able to but i cant!!!

I put myself down a lot and do and think things that afterwards im like well why did you do that, i worry to the point where i want to be sick over the silliest things!!!

I definately fear myself more than my other demons...and you??

well said...
and yea...i'm pretty much the same
although I like myself for who I am...I have to admit that I am very unpredictable & forth-coming...so I often tend to act before i think...
And the weird thing is...I am scared of myself...I am scared of being controlled by something other than myself...(that probably didn't make sense, but yeah....)
so compared to that...china dolls & homework are out...
and o yeah..I tend to over dramatize & over-react to every little thing as well

I like myself for me too....i mean i have good morals id like to think im a fair and nice
person, i do what is right instead of what everyone else does but i dont know there are some things that i wish i could change (not just physical appearance) I mean i have no self esteem at all...and i let my anger build up, well before i was ok letting people know what i thought..but now for other reasons i find myself like not wanting to cause arguments so i dont say anything and bottle it up..and its surprising what that does to you...for me i get moody (not often) and depressed...so i need to deal with that!!

But another demon of mine is nightmares i have some truely horrific ones...probably due to an overactive imagination...but still. Its terrifying

well, I always do what I want; what I think is right to me...but yes, there are somethings that I wouldn't mind changing...but I guess my flaws are really what make me...well me.
well, I like to argue a lot...but sometimes...my big mouth gets me into some serious trouble & alot of explanations, so now days I try to limit my contributions to an argument.


well, when I was little I used to have some really quirky nightmares...like once in year 2 or something; I dreamt that a whole herd of worms slipped out of my sandwhich & grew bigger & bigger, until they ate the whole world & it's inhabitants up! (god, it's amazing how I can remember stuff like that...but not what happened and hour ago)
aniwayz...yeah, now days I don't really have night mares anymores...probably cause I sleep kinda late & theres' just no time for dreaming.

well i wish i had dreams like that!...one i remember vividly coz i just had it!!...i woke up (still dreaming if that makes sense) and i went to my door and opened it...then i went back to my tv just to put on a movie and when i looked at my door again it was closed...and i started to panic..then opened it again and there was a huge freaky yellow tribal looking mask opposite me hanging on the door handle of the bathroom i looked up and down the hall to see if anyone was there...(i could actually feel my heartbeat in my throat) and i looked at the door and the mask was gone!!.....then i woke up for real!!!

I really thought it was happening...but thats not the scariest ive had not by far...but it still creeped me out!

i had repetitive nightmares when i was growing up! but jay yours sounds rather funny and hannah yours are more like mine!

i have a new demon! ok here it is, my demon is saying no! i can't say no without feeling bad! i guess i just like people to be happy with me, unless you peeve me off then i'll yell and throw things but i can't say no when someone makes a puppy face and it freaks me out that one day i'll get myself into a mess because of that!

Repetive Dremas i have some sometimes now as i grow up they can get worse. But i have learnt to control my fear of the unkwon and horror films for a bit.

Saying no. Hmm... You just don't want to. It doesn't really bother me sayng no because i have done lots of stuff for people but now it just gets annoying and i feel some people are just useing me for homework help ect.

I dont really have a problem saying no either...your right though if people just use you for homework purposes id get rather annoyed too

I have this thing where i cant look people in the eye when im talking to them (well only people i dont know or like teachers and stuff) because i get really embarressed and feel like they're looking at me and judging me...its really weird and really annoying too because i dont want people to get the wrong idea and think im rude!!

On the subject of not looking people in the eye i have a nasty two way Demon. When my mum is shouting at me thats 1 Demon. Then the other is i can't look her in the eye because i will laugh when i don't want to. I can't help it! I find myself laughing in the wierdist of sitiuations.

haha i cant imagine if i started laughing while my mum was telling me off....

*shudders* that wouldnt be pretty.

1 huge demon for me....WORRYING....i do it so much.

Yeah i used have that really bad in Year 7, early Year 8. I have calmed down abit to what i was but i am still really bad for worryng i can't help it just sort of like no. I hate detentions i haven't really had a proper Detention that was my fault one yet and i don't want to. Another Demon of mine is. I hate it when people who aren't related to me or anybody other than close shout at me. Like teachers they don't do that to mean really good boy here. But i wouldn't like it because i'm like hey you don't even know me. If you lot get me...?

Hmm mine goes to an extreme though i sometimes worry about things that have happened years ago...strange

yea i especially hate it when teachers shout at me i get really embaressed and upset!!...but i do understand you.

Ok another demon for me! (i know its babyish) but i hate the dark.
I have to have the bathroom light on when i sleep...and last night the power went off and it was pitch black in the corridor and my eyes play tricks on me coz i think im seeing figures staring at me.....

it's not babyish at all...and yes I understand what you mean by creepy shadows
personally, i'm weird...I hate darkness...yet I also sometimes find comfort in the darkness...odd, isn't it...but that's me...

i don't mind the dark..it depends where i am... if im in my room it's fine, if im outside it scares me
but as someone very clever once said.. it's not the darknes we're scared of, it's whatss in it! ( i've no idea who said that...probably scooby doo or soemthing! haha )
.X.

I like the dark because to me it's an adventure with y sonic crewdriver torch i love getting out of bed and exploring of course i don't get far.
No i can't sleep if there is light near me. Or a ticking of clock another demon i can't sleep with a Clock tipping no way.

So i like the dark!!!

Dan we hope it's a clock... *checks under bed* no i'm safe...
I like exploring in the dark when im with friends. But with no torch. When you're creeping round the house giggling, that's so fun!!
i think a demon of mine is my implosive personality. I hold all my anger in and tend to tear myself up about it. not clever...
.X.

My new demon is the pressure to be perfect. To my parents, friends, and myself.

My parents want me to be this crazy-achievment's type of person. I don't wanna be that. Its so frusterationg.

I hate thte clock-ticking noise too. It freaks me out

Yeah i know what you mean, my parents expect a lot from me, and if i do anything less they're disappointed. well i feel like they are.
ok i've got a new demon, being someone i'm not. I haev this huge shield up all around me and i hardly let it down for fear of being hurt.
.X.

My top demon is so myself i want to be cooler go out with my friends. Have a good time and be normal but i can't find myself. And i hate being bad at sport it tears me down. I was dooing P.E today i was good at the running. But at any of the throwing activitys i was rubbish. But i'll look on the brighter side as i was good at running.

I have the demon of being myself around everyone. Like around my friends I'm this outgoing person. During sporting events, I'm focused, and determined. At school I'm this bookworm, and shy. I have all these personalities, and they are never the same. Its frustrating!

In sprts events i'm not that good at them. So i get really detmined like you Accidentprone25. I'm preassurised into makeing myself better because everyone else is. It's scary sometimes you feel embarassed and that. It's not that great. Thats why i don't like sports.

ahhh...I know what you mean. it's the same with me...
i'm basically in different situations...

well i have not been here for a while and therefore do not think i can say anything about the posts before ...for there are far too many.

howevere just here to say that i think my demon is life. it's true. i can't stand it. maybe i shoudl stop feeling sorry for myself? i bet that's what people think, no matter how much they try to help. i know what people think. there you have it! other people's thought about me... another demon.

Jade... Surely... things can't be that. You gotta look on the bright side of life there is one isn't there??
Well i wont say no more. But i bhope you can't that Demon. Even if it's a hard fight.

Anyway quesion. Has anyone got Demons of over people annoying people bullies prehaps? Or used to?

You can ignore this question if you feel you don't prehaps want to talk about it.
"
Fear of name only increases the fear of the thing itself!" I think that's an outstanding quote and really ties in with the conversation.

what bright side cuz? i'm lossing it. i couldn't cope with year 9 and i can't cope now.


thanks. i need some hope. i've lost all my hope.


well yeah. i guess a another demon would be those people that hate you because you are not like them. the dictator sort-of attitude towards you. i hate that.
also i hate "friends" that make you feel worse... make jokes and when you say stop they don't take the hint and carry on thinking you didn't mean it. when you say stop again...they say sorry as if it is a joke!!


yeah good saying isn't it? well i fear a load of things. pity i can't let the name go.

Well ok so this thread has stayed quiet for a while so i'm trying to bring it back to life.

Question : Do you hve a pick me up?? Something you find after a bad day faceing demons or prehaps stress. Do you find something you do clams you down. Like eat something, watch something???

I find talking to someone helps even if you are uttering out rubbish i find it's good to want people to talk to you. So then you're not alone.

What about everyone else???

Oh I haven’t posted on here for a while sorry about that...I’ll answer the latest question that no-one else has...here I go...

Do you have a pick me up?? Something you find after a bad day facing demons or perhaps stress. Do you find something you do clams you down? Like eat something, watch something???
A pick me up...erm...chocolate, hot chocolate...tea. I suppose now my pick me up is to talk to my boyfriend, I can talk to him about anything and everything. After a lot of stress though I do tend to get angry and tend to hit someone/something or shout...a lot...Watching Harry Potter clams me down too as well as any comedy film...

Hmm good question Dan.
It depends what kind of demon, if it's stress from schoolwork or something then i just have a cup of tea and watch a dvd or something.
But if it's more serious then i usually talk it through with someone.
Hmm new demons: Losing the people I love. Ok ok it's always been a demon, but it's more prominent now.

Yeah, same here, it depends on what demon it is. If it's just homework then I'll yell quite a bit, stomp out of the room and watch some mindless tv for a while... That's always good

If it's something bigger, then I'll talk it over with someone (usually myself, come to think about it).

In general though, food, tv and sleep tend to calm me down quite well. Especially a nice frothy hot chocolate... *drool*

Oh you're right, the stropping and yelling thing works quite well
Actually most of demons can be cured by turning up the volume on my cd player and having a good sing with my hairdryer (I'm cool, I know.)
But that of course is only for curing the smaller demons. More longterm things are harder to combat.

My demon is a boy who happens to be named Trevor. And personally, I think Neville's toad is cuter than him.

He thinks he is all mighty because he has a handicap and has to use a computer for every little thing. Apparently his hand shakes too much when he writes so its illegible. What ever happened to the sayin 'practice makes perfect"?

He thinks he knows everything because he uses big words that have the whole class like 'um, what did you say?". He's no smarter than the rest of us, he "knows" everything about a computer, yet he failed a computer test.

Hermione, being a know-it-all has a better social life than him. My mom's friend lives across the street from him and her son says that he doesn't come out side to play with the other neighborhood kids but stays on his brand new laptop.

So I resort, and have all my friends resort to the oldest rule. Ignore them and they'll shut up. Doesn't always work but he gets really mad when no one asks what he said.

It's fun tormenting him.

My other demon, is my sister. I haven't quite worked out how to make her shut up yet. Ignoring her doesn't work. Any ideas?



Potters Princess

I am a demon! *mwuhahahahaha!!!* Actually no, sorry, I'm Veritaserum's resident vampire

Of that list I chose other people because I am agoraphobic which means I get scared around others, in open spaces which are crowded and busy etc. The way I get past it or try to get past it is to throw myself into the scary situation and make myself get used to it, kind of a way to prove to myself that it's not as bad as I fear it is. Sometimes it works but when I go into a new situation I feel scared and cornered and have to get out.

You are a little vampire demon, Charlie, but I you.

I'm with Charlie. I don't like crowds, don't like loud nightclubs full of drunk people, especially if they're smoking.

I fight demons when it comes to food because I have food addictions, especially to sugar, which is in just about everything these days. Yet I can't abstain completely from food or I'll die. So it's a constant battle.

I also battle with despair, often even when things are OK. I have a demon that tells me I'm just a big loser and will end up friendless and homeless. It sucks. Don't like any of these!

Aethonon, that demon that tells you you're a loser just mouths off like the Draco picture in your signature. All bark and no bite.
The demons only hurt us if we let them. I know it's easy to say that but I should know, I have demons and I've tried fighting them. it's easier than you think. Because if you fight them you will almost definately win unless your battle is only fought half heartedly. And if you beat one demon you will most certainly be able to beat the other demons because you will feel so much better having already achieved getting rid of one.

I think the worst demon I have is my family because they are the ones that created the demon of "myself." Because of them, I constantly doubt myself, I constantly criticize and belittle myself, I have to fight against the overwhelming thought that I'm worthless, stupid, fat, and ugly (I have an eating disorder because of that! ). They sexualized me at far too young an age, leading me to believe that that's all I would ever be good for. My sister constantly abused me in every way, and my parents dismissed it as being "sibling rivalry." My dad abused me in every way, and my mom enabled him, as well as contributing. My demons keep me a virtual prisoner. My family has tried to force it into my being that if they aren't hurting me, I should hurt myself because it's what I deserve. And it isn't!

Comparing to some people's demons, I think it'd be extremely stupid and childish to claim that I've got a demon that doesn't allow me to move, or anything.
Eisa, by saying that you don't deserve that you're showing a huge bravery of which many wouldn't be capable. Of course you don't deserve to hurt yourself, of course you don't deserve any one to hurt you or abuse of you, no one deserves that, but the good thing is that you've got the power of thinking that! Many would believe the opposite, and would fall for that, thinking that they deserve it, that it must be because of something they did, but it's not! It really horrifies me what they did to you, and I hope it's a thing of the past. But there are demons which you can't fight because they follow you wherever you go, whatever you do. I hope your demons will leave you soon, and that you're finally living the life you deserve

One of my... demons, if I can call them like that, is to never find the true love. It's really horrifying, but it's true, I'm afraid of being alone for the rest of my life, or being in a marriage with someone that I don't really love, or that doesn't really loves me.

My other demon... well, it's quite Ron-ish, but I feel that I'm constantly overshadowed. I'm always second! I mean, it's not that I want to be the first, but... Well, it's hard to explain. I'd take the back seat, but when you've been all your life told that you were intelligent, and becoming self conscious that you're not, it's kinda hard, especially thinking of the chances that you could have if you had been born under other circusntances. It scares me to think of the chances that I might get in the future, comparing to someone else, and to think that that won't let me hold all my dreams.

And... my dad's been always been my demon. Everything I did, wasn't good for him; he thinks he's intelligent, and he is for sure, but he's been blinded for the life he didn't deserve, and for the life he could have gotten if he just had fought harder, and that makes him arrogant, annoying and critic in extreme to everyone else's accomplishments. I think he just dissapoints me everyday a little more, and our relationship is awful. There's nothing but cold formalism in there. I think we've hugged twice in the last 4 years, once when I broke because I failed p.e. and the other one when I graduated from high school, because I broke again at the end of the celebration. And then, maybe for my 15th birthday, but nothing else. It's scary, but I think it's too late, and everyday I dislike him more.
