I got my 5 weeker and one grade wasn't very pleasant. It was a 65 in (SS) Social Studies...enriched. My mom's favorite subject that she expects glorious grades out of. She and my brother said i could do it, when i know i couldn't. I struggle with SS alone, i knew i couldn't do enriched. Anyways it's been a few weeks and i know i've been slacking but not as much as i thought. My teacher brought me aside saying that my grade was between a 52-57. I was devistated! I can't raise my garde and the report card comes out in two days...one day before my birthday. My parents are going to K-I-L-L ME! How do i tell my parents about my grade? How do i keep them from yelling at me? How do i get better grades in a hard subject? (link)

Talk to the teacher again. Ask what you have to do to improve your grade. Write down everything that is said. With that information, write out your plan of attack.
When you give them your grades, have your plan of attack ready to show them.

I have this friend who cant go to the mall alone. I offered my BFF and her to go to the mall, but she said that she would go if her mom with us! I can tell I cant be myself or buy the things I would regularly buy with her mom around. UGHH! How can I tell her I dont want her freakin mom to come to the mall with us! (link)
|
Do you want to remain friends with this girl?
It's a few hours. Suck it up, make nice, ask mom about her life experiences. At the very least it can be interesting. If it's a horrible experience, you will eventually have a good story to tell.

Ive been going to devry for about 2 years now, I can honestly say that I have hardly learned anything.
-They are extremely unorganized in everything they do.
-I commute an hour and a half to get to the school.
-One day they tell me they have dorms, the next they tell me dorms wont be ready till november. Now they are telling me I can move down but have to move in with people but Im supposed to be moving in with a friend.
-I cant even walk into their student help office without flipping out anymore.
-I feel like Im wasting so much money for this crap.
-Classes are useless, 8 weeks of programming, 1 day a week...wtf am i supposed to learn there!?
-Im getting so unfocused because of how cruddy things are going.
-I went to a highschool that told me Id never go to college anyway...maybe you've heard of west milford highschool. Now I get put in classes in college I have no knowledge in. AKA Chemistry.
I dont know what to do, I feel like Im stuck at devry. The credits from devry mean almost nothing outside of the building. I really need help before I waste more time and money at this excuse for a college.
If you dont mind please respond to my email or on here.

I've heard cases like this many times. Almost always it comes from people attending "for profit" schools. Devry exists to make money for the stockholders who all own a piece of the school. If anyone happens to get an education along the way, great, but that's not their main concern.
Check with your nearby community college to see if any courses will transfer.

I had sex with a guy on sept. 28, 2010. we use pull-out or withdrawal method. we did it again on october 9, 2010, and october 18,2010. until now i don't have my period. am i pregnant?
The last time i had my period was september 20-25. (link)
|
The withdrawal method is not a great choice, mostly because there are sperm in the small amount of fluid that the penis secretes before ejaculation.
Get a pregnancy test.
Consider adoption.
Stop having unprotected sex!
|
So I tried to take everybodys advice and STOP talking to this guy Gio because hes 19 and I'm 14 and blah blah blah, But heres my problem,
I did mention we had sex a couple times,
I'm NOT sure if we used a condom EVERYTIME,
And I'm waiting for my period but it hasn't came yet.
I'm kindaaa freaked!
What If I am pregnant!
I'm not sure what I should do!
(link)

If you are pregnant, consider adoption as a great choice. At many places, you can select the parents and arrange for them to get photos to you as the baby grows..

Welll junior prom is coming up soon and im going with my boyfriend but the problem is were the SAME height and i dont wannt to be taller than him at prom :( but i HAVE to wear heals what do i do?! (i look really gay in ballet flats) (link)
|
Wear comfortable, attractive shoes and don't worry about the heels. Why should women have to pretend to be shorter than they are?
|
I have asked this question before and got a great answer, that helped me answer half of one of my cooking assignment's pizza, although I need a website for one more part. How was the base of a traditional pizaa made?
PLEASE HELP!
THANKYOU! ♥ (link)

I think acorns were ground up and a dough was made from that.

I'm a photographer and I was just wondering if anyone knew of any abandoned houses, buildings, places, etc. in or close to Rhode Island?
I've already taken pictures at the Ladd School.
Thank you! :) (link)

Have you checked out Urban Adventures online?

I just went to the bathroom and pooped and it smells really bad. There wasn't any blood or anything that looked weird to me. I don't really know what it might mean. My stool has never really smelled so bad. What does it mean when your poop smells bad? (link)
|
In general, it has to do with your diet.
I'm going to guess that your diet has been heavy on meat and fats and low on fiber, roughage and fruits and vegetables. Switch to whole grain breads, treat meat as a condiment, and introduce your colon to leafy greens.

Hello, for starters, i love my husband very much but he has hurt me badly. I have caught him in the past 7 yrs. being overly flirtatious, sending secret texts, receiveing suspicious text(im getting in the bubble bath now tee hee). hiding one girls number in his phone, hiding video cameras around our house(for sexual reasons), trying to force me to "go out" with girls, lately he sent an email to a girl that was innapropriate, i asked him not to speak to her anymore. For 3 months..nothing. Then i found out he set up a secret email account to speak to her. He calls her cutie and tells her he will "punish" her. They play poker on monday nites. I LOST IT!! I have had enough!! He cried and told me he is sorry. I told him he is a SEX ADDICT!! through lots of i hate u's he told he me he NEVER kissed or had sex with another woman. Do I believe him?
He called up a therapist yesterday and admitted he needed help for a sex addiction. He said he couldnt live without me and would do whatever it takes to fix things. Im putting a stop to the monday poker, he takes a trip to vegas with the boys every march and swears he never cheated there either, do i believe that?? He went as far as soliciting a girl to friend me on facebook and act like a total stranger only he was talking to her on craigslist to try to get her to sleep with me.. totally behind my back. I have been friends with this girl for months, not knowing they were trying to make a "lesbian" out of me. He is 45, i am 33 and everyone tells me i am gorgeous. WHY am i not enough?? i am a great wife who is totally devoted to him! HELP! what if therapy doesnt work! thanks, Kimmie (link)

The advice you got from Razhie was excellent, I'm not going to try and top it!
There has to be a dramatic change, or you start walking. If I were you, I'd start to jettison stuff now so packing is easier. Sorry to be so negative, but the attempts to try and manipulate you on top of the fooling around is really rotten.

I'm in high school and there's this guy who I've been thinking of seriously going out with and stuff, and he's only ever been incredibly nice and sweet to me. He's been a total gentleman and has treated me really well(: However, every person has told me he's a 'total manwhore' and that I shouldn't go out with him or anything. Now, I did mention this to him and he said that everyone says that because he's really friendly and has a lot of friends - which is true, and that doesn't bother me.
I just don't know if I should really go through with this because what if everyone else is right and he just totally plays me? But he's only ever been absolutely amazing with me, so I've never experienced anything else with him! Can I just have some advice on what you think? i just like to have other opinions. Thanks!
(link)
|
Ask your friends for the ssource of their information - hearsy? observation? personal experience? or, simply rumor? Hopw do they know he's a "manwhore"? If they can't tell you how they know, chances are they don't know.

My period is three weeks late and I have absolutely no idea why. I'm absolutely positive that I'm not pregnant, so please don't go there. I'm a freshman in college, and one of my friends told me that living around a bunch of girls can do weird stuff to your cycle. Is that true? Could that be what's happening?
I'm still PMSing though; I have been since the time I would have normally began PMSing. And it's awful. What can I do? (link)
|
Living with other women can shift your cycle - women in group living situations tend to have their period at the same time.
Bear in mind that, even if everything is going well, one's freshman year is very stressful. Almost everything in your life has changed!
However, if this goes on much longer, you might want to chat with the infirmary on campus.

I have a baby girl and she is now 3 years old. I have been breastfeeding her the entire time since she was born. About a year ago my doctor suggested I start weaning her off of my breastmilk so that she would start eating solid foods more. I just can't seem to break her of it though. She will cry and cry at certain times of the day until I let her nurse. I don't want her to go without, and I don't want to cut her off cold turkey, but I know I need to be weaning her. How do I do this right? I've read a few stories about children being insecure because of their mothers suddenly weaning them too quickly. I know she needs time, but how do I do it? Thank you. (link)
|
La Lache League's advice is: Don't offer, don't refuse. I found it worked will with all three of mine.
This leads to child led weaning, the most gentle way of weaning for mom and child. Nurse her when she wants to, don't bring up the subject. Offer her new things to eat and do so she's not nursing out of boredom, and relax, it will happen.

My dad was talking to me about learning a musical instrument. He is really big into music and learned to play all sorts of instruments while he was growing up. He said it's really helped him "grow as a person" and that he'd be willing to buy me an instrument if I was interested. The only instrument I can think of to play is the guitar. For those of you who already play the guitar, do you think I should learn, too? I mean, is it really that enjoyable and helpful in life or is my dad a little crazy? :P (link)
|
Well, it's entirely possible that your dad is a little crazy AND right...
Learning to play an instrument is never a waste of time and can be very enjoyable, for a lifetime. Guitar is an excellent choice.
Just be very patient. No one learns to play an instrument so they can annoy their friends with bad renditions of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", but that part of the journey.

my partner and me are not sleeping together were both 17yrs old. (link)

That's perfectly fine. Many people would think you are making an excellent choice.

My art teacher was talking about how colors affect our moods. She said that the color red has been known to increase food cravings and make a person feel hungry. She even went as far as to say that's why a lot of food places, like Pizza Hut, use the main color red for their buildings outside and inside. Does anybody know if this is true or if she was just making it up? (link)
|
I was taught the sames thing several decades ago, so no, I don't think your teacher is making it up.

Okay so me and my boyfriend (we'll call him matt) were hanging and his bestfriend, we'll call him pete, comes over with like eighty rolls of toilet paper to tp this kid we all three hate, we'll call him brett. He's just an ass and drew like dicks all over petes and matts cars last week so he wanted to get him back and asked matt to help him. So we go over to the bretts house and were tping and what not and brett comes running out of the hosue and grabs me. I obviously try to get away but hes much much bigger than me and pulls me into his house (his parents were out of town) and locks the door. He puts me in the coat closet and puts a cabinet infront of the door. He calls Matt and tells him to clean it all up or he won't let me go. He goes on to tell him that if they try anything he'll "gladly think of some ways to have some fun" with me... Eventually its all cleaned up and he lets me out. But before he lets me out of the closet he tells me to take off my panties and give them to him. I'm pretty much scared shitless so I do what he says and then he puts me outside. Everythigs just all messed up now...! I feel really really violated and I'm worried about my boyfriend and brett getting into it or something... They're both on the football team so I dont want matt getting hurt in practice and I'm scared this little war thing has gone too far because we didnt know brett was this crazy and that someones gonna get hurt but I don't know what to do or how to help... Advice??? (I'm fifteen, sophomore. My bf and the other two guys, sixteen juniors) (link)
|
"Brett's" overreaction should be a serious matter of concern. As has been pointed out, this was kidnapping and sexual harassment.
Please tell your parents and keep yourself as far ayay from him as possible.

Okay, im 17/f and my ex is 20/m. I dated him in 06' when I was 14 and he was 17. Two months of us dating I turned 15, so it was only a two year difference. We dated for 8 months. We broke up because his mom said we had two different maturity levels, and we needed to either break up, or get back together later on. I thought I was in love with him, and he said he was in love with me but everyone said I was too young to know what love is. When we broke up, he pinky promised me that on my graduation day in 2011, that he would propose to me. I believed him.
Every since then, I haven't had a real boyfriend since, its like my heart just doesn't feel like giving anyone an opportunity because I guess it finally found its home with him. During these last 3 years, I have seen my ex here and there. My parents got real attached to him, so he comes over to visit occasionally. I really believe my love for him is real. Everytime I see him, my heart drops, stops, and skips beats, and I get a little nervous inside. I only feel 100% normal and secure when he's hugging me, Im hearing his heartbeat, or he's just holding me. A few months ago, he came over and we sat in his truck, and he was bringing back old memories that I thought he would forget. It made me happy to know that he remembers EVERYTHING. He even remembers the promise he made me, and he also said that he's still in love with me, and after we broke up, he hasnt be able to be with anyone longer than 3 months. He cried to me, for the second time in our whole relatioship, just because he really missed me, and he missed the feeling of being able to be himself 100% and someone love him for it. He promised me that when Im legal (18) he will ask me back out, (therefore his mom can't trip about our age difference) and we can finally be happy again. I turn 18 on November 20th. He still remembers the proposal promise he made me 3 years ago, and he says he still plans to keep it.
He says Im the only girl he's ever been able to look at and his heart stops likes its the first time he's ever seen me.
Im just not too sure if his feelins are real, or if im to young to know what it is, but i do know the way I feel about him, isn't anything you feel for just a friend. (link)

It can be the real thing.
My daughter went to a school dance with this guy in her sophomore year. I remember thinking what a sweet first romance she had. She's now 26 and they have been married for 2 years, after 5 years of mostly being apart by 1500 miles and both of them earning their college degrees.
You are having time to grow and get to know yourselves better and will be in much better shape if you choose to get together.

I am 19 years old, and I have been with my boyfriend (21) for the past five years. He has a full time job and I have been working part time while going to college (I am a sophomore).
We both want to move out together in the near future and have been talking a lot about starting a family. When I told him I still hadn't picked up my birth control this month, he told me not to worry about it becase at this juncture in our life he was ready to let whatever is going to happen just happen.
This has kind of thrown me for a loop, because I really want children and I want to have them at a fairly young age. However I also wanted to be settled before starting a family. Unfortunately I plan on getting a Master's degree, which will take at least another three or four years. I definitely don't want to wait that long, but I am worried about how my family and friends would take me getting pregnant now.
I guess my question is if it's irresponsible to have a child now, even though my boyfriend and I both work, go to college, and want to start a family? We still obviously want to finish up our plans, but want to add a baby to the mix.
Thoughts? (link)

It is not the time to have a child when the two of you have yet to make a life-long commitment to each other.
The two of you really need to sit down and talk about this, possibly with the help of a counselor. It sounds right now like the two of you have very different images of what your life together would be like. Does he see you getting your Master's? Does he see you having a profession?
It is decidedly not the right time until you are ready.

okay. so im a 14 yr old female and im a freshman in high school. Well, i was at this party one of my friends had and i got high and hooked up w 2 guys and had oral. then, everyone called me a slut at my school. but soon i really didnt start to care. all of the girls were jealous i think. then when i walk down the hall if theres a guy they either slap my a$$ or squeeze my boob. so after that i went and me and this other girl (that i hate) we started to masturbate together in her bedroom. we did oral and we made out. she licked my boobs and said i was a wh0re and a slut. she then started to slap my a$$ and we both got really horny. so she called up a couple of guy friends that recorded me and her like "doing it" then the other guy starts to give me oral. thats video taped too. he licks my vag and my boobs and the other guy was recording all of it. they put the tape online and showed everyone in my school. i got suspended. and they all still laugh at me. there were a couple of girls that put slut on the back of my shirt and they wrote in marker on my locker. i really didnt care that much but after i got really mad and got a tattoo that said "I'm a slut, f*ck me b*tch. So everyone saw that and they didnt really say anything else.so does this make me a major slut? (link)
|
Yes, it does.
You have made it very difficult for anyone at school who has heard or seen these clips to think of you as anything but a girl who can be used sexually by anyone, in just about any way possible.
If that's how you wanted to present yourself, congratulations. If you would like people to see you in any other way, you will have a long uphill battle.
