Yeah I said young person. Instead of Kid, because I DON'T feel like a kid. I'm 13 give me a break. This math thing has kicked me around plenty In The classroom. Now, that I'm an adult or at least I think I am. I might suffer a bit because Of the way I'm choosing to deal With this math monster unlike most people would.
