Hey, you can call me Matt.

Hey everybody, I'm new (obviously). I'm 20 years old, I am in my senior year of high school (I'll give you the story if you'd really wanna hear it), and I'm an aspiring electrical engineer....but before you get bored, I just wanna say that I am looking forward to playing with you guys (or gals, idk!) and that you'll find that I'm a pleasant person to play alongside!

nice dude, im a junoir in high school (16 pretty much 17) and i aspire to be a CAD operator, so we are kinda related lol. but how are you 20 and still in high school?

The maximum age allowed by law to be in high school is 21, and I'll be 21 on september 5th.

actually im afraid that my nephew is going in that direction, hes 15 and after being held back too many times and trying 2 different types of homeschooling programs, he still is failing the subjects from 7th grade, thats why he never gets to play or hed be in the clan lol

We have a lot of people asking us to ask them for their stories Share if you dare

Well, if he's heading in that direction, I'd suggest either therapy or an alternative school. I'm in an alternative school that specializes in aiding students who have emotional disorders. I was skipping school in my district school so then I agreed to go elsewhere.

As far as my story, I have a long version and a short version. I can say that I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and bipolar. My problems started at about the age of 16. I attended an all-boys boarding school at the age of 15 to 17. I have been committed into mental institutions (against my will, doctor/judge ordered) more times than I can count. Most of those times were because of either suicidal threats or actual attempts. I have been stable and out of hospitals and institutions since about May of last year.

Well bud, my nephews been there, his real dad the last time he lived with him let his wife take him off his meds cold turkey and when he reacted in kind she put him in a mental institution, in idaho. all he has is adhd, and hes learning to be a incredible glass blower.

and were glad to have you bud

Wow. Well, thanks. As a side note, there sure was a lot of people to add. Half of them aren't gonna know who I am! It would have been way too time consuming to attach a message to each friend request. Is there an easier way to it?

yeah get on the xbox.com site and do one mass message

well, i added the people through the xbox website since i knew it would be easier. some of the gamertags it said were not valid. but i'll go back and send them all a message so they know who i am.

ok, all done. Now to just change my clan tag!

Welcome brah I know some people with similar situations glad to have you
