My parents aren't really with me, and I kind of have a similar problem to you..But it doesn't really bother me much...I have one older brother who just finished school last year, and pretty much all my life, they have always helped him with homeworks and stuff and were always interested in the work at school he did, and would ask like "How was that project" etc. But with me it was like they didn't really care because like my homework was baby and they only cared about my brother because he had harder work and it was more grown-upish but I guess it doesn't bother me now.
My parents do kind of support me now with magic...But they are sometimes like it is only magic...My dad kinda likes it, but I think they just like it when I do a trick or something..My dad is like "I always buy you stuff and you never perform tricks". And like a month ago, it was my birthday, and I actually showed some magic stuff I liked, and he got me all this other random stuff that wasn't that good, like a gimmicked half dollar coin, when I live in England...Which cost 20 pounds, which is like US$40, and I was like if he bought me what I wanted from the website I saw it, I could of got everything I wanted for under 20 pounds.
But I guess I am still grateful...

Well.. My father is my best audience.. He doesnt exactly allways want me, but when he does, he catches me almost everytime.. And that makes me do better and better each time..
My mother just says: "Leave the damn cards and go study!" (I have damn good grades..)
My little brother and sister (they are 10 and 8) somethimes ask me to do some tricks.. But I do a spectacular trick and they are like: "Hum.. Ok.." And I feel like killing them.. xD But when I do crappy tricks they are like: "W00T!! Teach me pl0x!"
But.. I dont really care..

someone voted twice, once in yes and one in no, which messes up the count

that has nothing to do with it...it's a percentage thing.

yes it does, it counts the users who posted, 10 posted, however out of those ten it counts the votes, for 10 people there wher 11 votes, which means someone voted twice

no...what the program is saposed to do is to divide total votes into 100 and then multiply that by # of votes for pro and con...thats how you figure a precentage...
besides how do you vote twice...it wont let me...
the way you discribe it only ten people could vote... that is not the way it works...im not sure whats wrong with the pole....but i do know that you are wrong!
no one voted twice...someone voted and then didn't post anything.

it only lets you vote once. it doesn't show you poll results until after you vote and then it says " you have already voted on this poll"
it cant happen the way you say!
12 people have voted now and it is still at 110% the program has a glitch...it has nothing to do with the # of voters
