Can you sign a sociology essay in BSL?...

[Cacoethes]

I actually loved sociology at college

[Shirayuki]

i have no idea what that means but ok ^^

[Shirayuki]

i have had no idea what anything means since Buttons last post, help.

[Buttons.]

Good to know np!

Ha ha incredibly slowly as I’d have to finger spell a lot of words Lins!

Me too Beckie was tempted to do it at uni but couldn’t think of any jobs after I’d especially want with it so did my nursing instead.

Shira sociology pretty much does what it says on the tin BSL is British sign language.

[Shirayuki]

oooh thank you!!

[Shirayuki]

i like science but i don't like my teacher for 8th grade. :P

[Cacoethes]

I thought about doing it at uni too Buttons but not many job prospects!

I used to like biology but chemistry and physics were lost on me!

[Shirayuki]

i like chemistry, we had a unit on it in 7th and i think i might take a course in 9th not sure though

*pokes zombie*

It’s a shame when a rubbish teacher ruins a subject you like shira. Hope you get better one next year.

Beckie was same with biology.

[Shirayuki]

can you sign "flip off" and tell me how Buttons?
because theres two kids that really want me to punch them in the face but i'm trying not to so how would you sign it because there both rather dull and yeah.

[Shirayuki]

were any of you bullied in middle school?
or elementary?

[Buttons.]

I assume from your vocabulary you are American shira? Completely different sign language. But in the mean time one of the slang ways of doing it in BSL is to stretch the thumb and finger on each hand so it looks like a v and put one v shape in the other, then do a backwards thumb over your shoulder as in like get lost.

[Shirayuki]

thank you Buttons! ^^ yup, i'm american

[Buttons.]

Shira I was bullied, a lot of people are and it sucks but important thing to hold onto is how pathetic must they be that they need to get their self esteem from making other people feel like crap, and while they’re busy bullying and being prats you are learning social skills and so on which will stand you in good stead when you grow up and are trying to find decent jobs etc. Plus, honestly when you get to your 20s. Most former bullying victims myself included just plain don’t give a **** about that stuff anymore.

[Shirayuki]

k, thank you really needed that today ^^

[Buttons.]

However if you want to discuss bullying issues more deeply you may get more helpful responses on the Support boards than here which is mostly just general chat.

Glad to be of service *tips hat*
