Can a person in their 20s strengthen their intellectual aptitude? Is it true that people usually reach their peak at a certain age? I have not yet gone to college. Am I too old to make a great improvement in an area I am not too great in? I did not take advantage of my education when I was in grade school. I really wish I had.
Sometimes I feel incompetent because of my lack of education. Even on this website, I find a columnist that has terrific writing capabilities, outstanding knowledge, and a vast vocabulary. It makes me feel a little smaller and a hint of jealousy. I mean columnists around my age of course; I would not compare to the elderly or the teens.
Sometimes I feel more stupid than I want to be. I can look back at things I write and it looks like I'm on a lower-level compared to others in my age group. Many things I attribute to my deprived life experience.
I once dated someone that made me feel inferior. He could write a whole page and in the neatest hand-writing while I was on sentence two with my average print. It was like that when it came to typing speed. In some classes we shared, it seemed that he was more informed than I was about the world.
In grade school, I excelled in math and literature. I actually looked forward to math knowing that I was one of the top-ranked in the class. It was the one class people came to me for help and the one class that others would tell me that I was intelligent besides teachers. My 115 on a test compared to their 87 gave them that idea.
Also in grade school, there were times where I excelled in all my classes when I put in my best effort. There were times where I flirted with boys and took my answers off their papers. There were times I spent an entire class doing homework for another class. There were times that I thought skipping school was better than going to school.
You can see that I deprived myself of a good education but a lot of kids and teenagers do. Many times in school, whenever I felt like I was learning something that I was picking up really well or something that I felt was an important piece in my education, the study in that field was cut short. That missing piece in my education could be very critical for me to know.
I wish I can go all the way back to the foundation of my education and build up. However, I know in college I am going to be starting at where I left off with all the gaps left to be a hindrance.
I do not want to feel so limited. I want to formulate intelligent sentences. I do my best with my writing but as I am putting my thoughts into words, I come short as I try to pull vocabulary or ideas out of my head. I feel that it's there but unattainable. I know my knowledge runs short. I know that as for how my memory works, I sometimes can not recall for all my wits anything without seeing something that brings the memory to me.
Many things I choose not to remember for I find that they will be of no use to me in the future or I could easily relearn them if necessary. I know this limits me as well.
I do have a favorable short-time memory which benefits me when cramming for a test. I can memorize a list of a hundred things or more in order and spelled correctly within a hour. I can usually hold that knowledge for one or two weeks before it dissolves into the forgotten abyss in my mind.
Anyway, I'm through talking about myself. I don't particularly want to read a book to answer my question. Nor do I want to be refereed to a webpage. I want to know what you think. I want your opinions or views on the matter. Anyone else feel the same way or similar? What's your thoughts and advices?
Any answers would be appreciated. (link)

But I am too scared to date him because of the age difference, I am still in the university and his a working class guy... He talks about starting a long term relationship that would lead to marriage but I don't know if he would want to spend the rest of his life with me I am still quite young for marriage and I have planned to get married at 26 but I don't know if he would want to wait that long since I am still young I love him and I want to be with him but I am afraid he would move on along the way when he sees I am not ready pls tell me what to do (link)

Hey, sorry if I'm bothering you guys with so much needed advice about my boyfriend, but I'm in another situation with him. We have been dating for over a year now. I live in Illinois and my faimly wanted to move to Florida but I didnt want to because I wanted to stay with my boyfriend. So my boyfriends mom decided to take me in because she is a kind woman. Yet, there is one problem. I hate my boyfriend. He use to be kind to me, but all he is now is a controlling freak and I dont know why but I am in so much love with him and Im afraid of losing him. Im leaving for the Navy Oct 1st so Im living with him until then. first of all he always even in the past would break up with me and then have sex with me. Like once he had sex with me and then said now remember I just broke up with you and were still frineds. Also when I always was trying to get over him he wouldnt stop calling me and would get mad if I didnt tell him that I loved him or wanted to see him. I never understood cuz he freaking broke up with me! It use to be so easy for me to say “Okay were broken up“ but now when he breaks up with me I beg on my knees and cry until he says “Fine okay were back together.“ He's broken up with me all the time for the dumbest reasons and then still expected me to do girlfriend stuff and I really think that it screwed me up into having a phobia of losing him. He never wants me to sleep with him anymore, He barley wants to cuddle, He always tells me that his friends are more important then me, Im not allowed to wear shorts outside, He'll even say that he questions the future with me because I dont like the things he likes like he likes to play videogames and watch dumb cartoons all day and read dark tower books. He always tells me that its okay that he can say “Hey Sexy“ to his x girlfriends on facebook because hes just joking. He always watches regular porn, animay porn, and animal porn. He calls my faimly white trash. He calls me names all the time too like psychotic and stuff like that. His friends dont like me because I spend too much time with him when the funny thing is that his friends are too busy all the time with their girlfriends to spend time with him so whats there deal with me and him being together a lot. He yells at me that I am too annoying. Also when we are making love sometimes he calls me a dirty little slut and makes me admit that he's my master. He always flirts with other girls all the time. Not to mention my boyfriend is fat and hes cute but I could do better. I am a beautiful woman. Everyone always tells me that im gorgous so why am I dating a fat pig? He picks his nose, sticks his finger in his butt and sniffes it, bites his nails, burps! I HATE HIM!!!!! He even tells me that “What if you dont make it in bootcamp when you leave for Navy Oct 1st“ instead of being supportive! Im so sorry if the things I am saying are awkward and you probably think that Im crazy but this is really happening to me! I hate him but I love him. I dont know why! He use to be romantic to me but now he's become a controlling pig of a monster and I cant take it anymore! He even says sometimes that he cant wait until I go the navy. He even got fired from walmart because he didnt run a machine the right way and then he dropped light bulbs cuz he was an unloader and now he works at united soils working only once a week so that just shows how much hell support me in the future. He tells me also that if I ever see my mom that hell break up with me. He's also sexsist. I mean we were watching Pocahontas today and you know what he said? I wonder if Pocahontas is wearing panties underneath that dress? He's such a pig and he always has something inappropriate to say about women. He treats me like im his daughter too. Im not allowed to stay out after 11 pm “Not to mention Im 19“ and he always has to check what im wearing before i leave, he makes me eat my dinner even if I dont want it, controlls who I hang out with, he even told me Im not allowed to go on advice websites anymore because its dangerous and I wont know who is giving me advice. Hes sleeping upstairs right now though so were good. He tells me that I look like a whore sometimes but DUh just because Im ten times better looking then you doesnt make me a whore. Im serious Im not the kind to judge on looks I fell in love with the old goofy funny him even if he wasnt that good looking even though he kinda is. I looked in the mirror just yesturday and he was in the reflection too behind me and I wonderd “What am I doing with this man? Look how beautiful I am inside and out and Im with this pig?“ He even still lives with his mom at 21, and hes just now going to start his first year in college which I doubt hell pass. He wants to be a Literature professer at a college yet he cant even spell cat. He also wanted to become an animator also psssh ya okay. Hes even working on a book and expects to be the next Steven King. He's such a child and its pissing me off. I dont know how patient I can be with him. He told me he might wait for me when Im in the Navy but hes not going to make any promises but the way I see it. Im not worried at all because no woman would go out with him. Thats why its so hard for him to let me go even when he always broke up with me because he knows hell never get anyone like me again. His other girlfriends are dead ugly! I think he would be good looking if he lost wait but hey thats just me. Please I hope that I didnt scare you away but I AM LOSING MY MIND!!!!!!!!!

I'm on the JV girl high school basketball team & we have a summer camp for boys & girls. We have practice basketball practice everyday and we have to exercise in the morning. After that we go into the locker room and take showers, get dressed. I was the last one there and after showering I was standing naked in front of the mirror (this was in the girls locker room, obviously) brushing my hair (otherwise I get really bad knots, but anyway, its not important). My male gym teacher was locking up the locker rooms and he came in to see if anyone was still in the girls room. So....I was totally naked, without a towel or anything and I spun around to face him when I heard someone come in. I didn't even cover myself up with my hands and I'm pretty developed (I'm 17). I just kept apoligzing for like, a minute, I don't even know why and he said it was fine, don't worry, but he didn't look away and I ran into a stall. My friend told me to act like nothing happened. So, we had gym and I tried not to act weird but when I saw my teacher he winked at me and looked my up and down. He kind of gave me this look, like he liked what he saw? I also caught him staring at my chest while running. I don't know, but I'm absolutely mortified and embarrassed. I feel kind of nervous and ashamed, I honestly feel like crying I don't know what to do! Can anyone, please please give me some advice, because I'm so confused right now and I don't now how to face him again! (link)

oh I am so sorry about that just keep ignoring his pervet behaviours as long as u do that he will give up and he will stop doing this Maybe he keep doing this because he can't forget wt he saw but if u ignore he will forget So just act like nothing happened good luck =)

So, I'm going to be 20 in a few months,so I'm not a teenager (though I feel far too young to be a parent!) and my boyfriend who i have known for a year but we have gotten serious the past few months has been saying he wants children with me one day.
I'm at university at the moment, and I love children I'm studying to become a child psychologist in fact! so he said while I study, no children at all but still, 22 doesn't seem old enough to be raising a family!
I know it's all a big "what if" and "you may not be together" but I have a feeling we will still be with each other after my course is done.
He has one child which may or may not be his (I am very doubtful personally) and I know he is a good father to him... But still, the idea of having children terrifies me and sends chills down my spine, idk if I'd be a good mother and I am certain I don't want to go through all that pregnancy malarkey, is that a normal feeling? Do you agree that 22 isn't the right age to have children?
Also, when does it become a danger to have them, for all my fears I do WANT a family, I just don't want to wait until it will all go wrong! help please (link)

I have been dating my soulmate for around 9 years now, starting when i was 11 and now that we have graduated he thinks it's time to get married, his bestfriend warned me he is planning to propose this weekend and I'm only 19. I know i want to be with him for forever and I love him soo much! My parents and his always make snarley comments about how marriage at a young age is over rated and we used to agree when we were younger, but now all we want is to just be with eachother and his folks don't beieve in living with eachother before marriage, so that is a big part of wanting to get married ASAP.
But my question is, Am i being blinded by love and will me saying yes to him this weekend be a mistake? (link)

Okay, well I am 13/F. So, I really like this guy named Trayton. He is 13/M. I have been with him before. He is really cute and sweet. He treats me like a princess and I love it! But, I also like his brother. Jordan 15 almost 16/M. Jordan and I have gone out before as well. I kind of feel bad because I have made two brothers go against each other for me. They both say they love me and I believe both. But I love both of them too. Jordan and me have made out and done things with each other. I mean because Jordan is such a hormonal teenager and all he is going through that stage where he wants to do things. But where as me and Trayton have just made out and held hands. He doesn't like taking things fast. Well, sometimes. But anyway. I over heard Trayton talking to his friend and he said he wouldn't do anything because he can't compete with Jordan in that aspect. But, I know I have to choose between them. I just don't want to because I love both of them. Jordan treats me really special, and I love that. PLZ HELP! (link)

ow wow that like drama if I was on your place I will leave the both better than make them fight togother 4 me and destroy a realtionship between 2 brothers

So I'm a sixteen year old girl and I just started having a texting conversation with this guy last night. We started at about eleven thirty pm and didn't end until three am.
At first we talked about our summer day camp that we're a part of. He's a activity leader and teaches me stuff and said that I was doing well. Then I got him to get rid of my annoying nickname. Soon he was asking me about my bedtime and how old I was. Then he asked my birthday and why I'm so shy. Eventually it got to him wanting me to tell him about myself. I didn't know what to say, and I told him that, but he said it wasn't hard. We then spent a half hour arguing that. I did finding something to tell him and he kept on texting "go on".
It got to a point where he was asking me questions like my sexuality, if I party a lot, if I drink or smoke, if I'm a virgin and what kind of girl I am. He ended up asking me what I looked for in a guy and he wanted me to ask him what he saw in a girl.
It doesn't make me uncomfortable, but normally I text about things that I like or want to do or about my writing or whatever to my normal groups of friends. But this guys says that I'm asking 13 year old questions and to start asking stuff that 16 year olds care about. I asked him what this was and he said "grownup questions" and "questions that you're normally afraid to ask" or "makes you think". He did get tired of asking me questions and said "jst tell bout urself so i will know wat kind of women i hav in my camp"
He keeps up bringing up conversations a while after we end them. Like, after we spent about three hours texting until three am, at eleven thirty am he started another conversation with me until one pm. Then around four we texted until nine. And he keeps on wanting to know about me.
Do sixteen year olds, and teenagers for that matter, really talk a lot about sex and drugs and partying? It seems like that's all he talks about. I don't want to offend him because he's my camp leader and he has a LOT of power over me and he's the main one who teaches me how to do everything right.
What do I talk to him about? (link)

no don't do that think about wt may happen not wt he want.you will be a mother

I heard that if you talk to a counselor at a school you want to go, they can cover all your expenses if you can't pay yourself. Is that true? I can get a Pell Grant but I may need extra money. (link)

I am a high school teacher & I'm teaching summer school this year. there is a student that I've known for a couple of years & I've taught her in the 8th grade also.
She has a crush on me, and it's pretty obvious. She blushes & smiles when I talk to her.
She told her friends who told another friend and so on, now loads of students know. She always finds some way to draw attention to herself, so I have to pay attention to her loads.
She is a good student & she's smart, but she tries to flirt with me, I don't flirt. I don't think she's trying to do anything inappropriate, but she's just always trying to get my attention. I'm nice to her and I treat her like everyone else.. I look at most of my students like they are my own kids and I see her as a daughter.
It's frustrating, is there anything I can do? I don't want to be mean to her or hurt her feelings. I did on accident once and I felt bad. Any ideas? (link)

hm u remember me myself.Students love teachers and never flirt specifically if your student is a girl 4 e.g like me .When I moved to a new school.I love my teacher alot because her class Eng and my hobby is the same.So I was considering her lesson as my free time.Then she argued with me because I'm very calm.So I got angry and be rude with her.Then she treated me same & paid her attention at another student .Then we got in cycle (she be good I be rude and the opposite) Then I tried to apologize to her (I apologize to my teacher ).How this sound like .Was I trying to pay her attention again¿The answer is NOoO .I did that because when I was going to my house and have nothing 2 do . I enter Eng websites like this .So I was remembering her and blaming my self about my rudeness.So the point is human may understanding things wrong.Also your're not mind reader 2 know y she keep doing that.Let her doing that as long as her behaviour not hurting you .Good luck sory about m bad Eng
