Today in English we were reading some story about something to do with someone having a disability wanting to play golf. He had trouble walking and had to use a cart to get around to the hole while everyone else had to walk (obviously I wasn't paying much attention). But, towards the end of class my teacher brought up a good point about what the word "fair" meant to us.
Her question was, "Is being fair treating everyone equally, or giving lea-way to those with disabilities so they can be like everyone else.
I was wondering what it meant to you guys.

I think you don't change the rules. The golf guy was a difficult one though, I remember it. He didn't want the rules of the game changed, just wanted to get from one hole to the next via wheelchair. I'm not a golfer but I don't see why that differs from a golf cart. Anyway, you don't change the rules.

okay..im ending my freshman year. I realized theres one thing i know i could do for the rest of my life, thats play basketball. Now theres a real problem which is im only 5'4 and i dought ill get to much taller maybe 5'7 5'8 IF im lucky. Well this summer im gunna train for ball but STAY on JV so I can be with the same coach. Im talkin bout followin a strict diet all of that.
Do you just think im wastin my time? I mean I do live in a small town where hardly anyone gets noticed and i do have a height disadvantage. (link)
| |
I think if it's something you love to do then give it your best shot. Stranger things have happened than a shorter than average (for a BB player) person playing. If you're good your height won't matter one bit. Good luck :)

i would like to remove cellulate, but i do not belive in creams and stuff like that. is there any other method that it is very effective. the only method i know drink alot of water and exersise. I would appreciate alot if there is an other way. (link)
| |
Exercise and weight control can help PREVENT cellulite, but once you get it it is there to stay. Some people have luck with liposuction but yuk. Sorry the news isn't better than that. :)

Is it better to wash your hair in cold water or in hot water? Is it less damaging? (link)
| |
I have heard that it should be warm but not hot. I also have heard (don't know if its true) That the colder water rinsing will make your hair shine.

A week months back I was informed my friend gave someone else a hand-job. She's 14. I know, to some people this is normal, but we live in a nice small town where nothing like that ever really happens. Here it's different. I asked her if there was anymore and she 'swore on her music' I told her to never let him back in her house again because she claims he forced her into it. (She's in love with music, anything that has to deal with music). SO, naturally I believed her. Yesterday I found out new information. She had given a hand-job twice, a blow-job one, made out alot and let him feel her up. She never told me. She claims that she's scared, I would be too. I'm so mad about her not telling me. I'm her 'best friend'? Why don't I feel like it? (link)
| |
She didn't tell you because it was none of your business. Sounds mean of me I know but it isn't. I agree that she is to young for all that but you are not her keeper. You won't want her knowing your personal business when you get a boyfriend either. At least I should hope not. Best friends can be best friends without knowing every single thing about the other person. :)

i lost a parent a year ago. my other parent is getting married in the summer. how do i show this fiance that i still love my parent, but i'll try to have a relationship with the fiance.
thanks (link)
| |
I think the fiance probably knows that already. I don't think you'll need to do anything. They may be trying overly hard to win your affection right now but knows how you felt about your parent. :)

My parents have officially said that I can have the name as "going out" with someone. There's this guy I've had my eye on for a while, but he has turned me down on several occasions. We're not exactly friends, and I haven't exactly asked him out. He knows I like(d) him and he's kinda weirded out by it. At the next dance should I ask him to dance?
(oh, I'm 13/f) (link)
| |
I don't see why you couldn't ask him to dance. If he doesn't want to fine, but you can ask anyway. If he won't dance with you...give up on him and concentrate on someone else. :)

I have been wondering if the person you like or you keep thinking who'll end up with you in marriage would usually be the person you'll really get married to. Because in my situation, I've always thought that he'll be the one and don't get it wrong, I have deep feelings for him. But there's this another guy who last time cares for me but now i think not anymore. i just think. But I'm afraid maybe the person i think would be the one for me, wouldn't really be? I know it sounds complicated but it's really giving me a problem. Pls. help me. (link)
| |
jbdreamer is right. Happens very rarely. You need to meet and date a lot of guys before you find the perfect one for you.So, if you've met someone else you want to try, don't be afraid to listen to your feelings. :)

My mom pays for my health insurance, so she gets all the bills and statements. I want to start birth control, but I really don't want my mom to find out. If I get a perscription for pills and fill it, how will it show up on the insurance statement? Will it show up as something general or will it say what the perscription is for? Thanks in advance.
(link)
| |
It will show up what it's for. Better off just telling her. You might try your local health department. They may give it to you for free or a very reduced price so that you can just pay for it in cash. :)

I have two dogs, one by the name of symba... and one, by the name of Brownie, and i love both of them equally. Though, lately they have been extremly burdensome, especially each time they run away...poop or pee on thier bed or in the house and have to continously be groomed and get thier monthly shots (which are very expensive). So... every once and a while... my mother will suggest giving them away to one of her close friends, who would take equally good care of them since, (now that my brother has moved out to collage..) are sometimes left outside for the entire school day and only given walks once a week. the problem is, as stubern as it may seem, i love my dogs dearly and could never give them away. never. Am i being impossible... how can i show my mom that they are extremly special to me and i love them too much to give them away... (link)
| |
Jump right in there and walk them, clean up after them and feed them. The less mom has to do those things, and the more you do, will show that you love them and are willing to take care of them in order to let them stay. :)

I just found out that a girl at school, I knew already that we werent the best of friends called me Rude, annoying, and bitchy while talking to one of my closest friends.
History of us,
we were never friends but we never were mean 2 eachother. Last year I had mono and was on medications, I had a short temper and she or someone else sai somthing thing that mad me mad or annoyed me. She said "you have changed alot since you were sick. nit for the best either. You are mean." I said stuff back 'this is the real me i didnt change. get used 2 it." i fell bad now but i didnt know what i was saying. now i think she hates me and I want to apologize but I dont want to seem like a goody goody who wants everyone to like them.
what do i do. please help me!

I think apologizing is okay to do. You won't seem to goody goody. :)

My best friend & I have known eachother about a year. We have the best times together, have alot in common and even look alike. The problem is she has some bad qualities. She only talks about her problems and thinks they are worse and bigger than anyone else's. She is extremely sensitive and defensive. When I bring any of this up, she flips on me, thinks I'm wrong and being hurtful. It seems like I can never get a word in about my life at all! How do I get her to listen to me for once, without hurting her feelings? (link)
| |
It will seem rude...and well is really, but it may work. Next time you are talking, just talk about your problems etc. When she butts in and starts telling you hers, listen. But instead of discussing what she said, go right back to talking about yourself, totally ignoring what she said before. After a few times she will hopefully get the message. She's supposed to be there for you too. Your friendship with her is sort of one sided at the moment! :)

Recently, I've become very, very good friends with this girl named...Leslie. We have many friends but a close-knit group of 4 consisting of me, 'Leslie', 'Nicole,' and 'Ashley.' We are all close friends and really nothing can take us apart. In my PE class is a girl named 'Melissa' who I cannot stand for some reason. She just annoys me so much, and now Leslie and Melissa have become pretty close. It aggravates me everytime I'm excluded from their conversations, everytime I'm left out and it's so frustrating to hear Melissa call 'LESSSLIIIIEEE' everywhere I go. Ashley actually feels the same way as I do, but none of my friends know how I feel. I've always been the nice one and the one who's always accepted people...but somehow Melissa just broke me down. My frustration didn't even come from her becoming friends with Leslie...it just grew larger from that. In the beginning of the school year, when I saw her, I knew from the start that for some reason I would not like her. She said something to Leslie and I (while we were working out in class) that implied that Ashley was fat. I was so shocked that I just got up and left them. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just cannot STAND her. She irritates me and just makes me feel insane; and it's not as if she did anything wrong. Sometimes when Ashley and I are late to lunch, she pulls Leslie and Nicole away from us and drags them to lunch without us. During lunch she'll come up and pull Leslie away from us while we're still talking, or sit in between Leslie and whoever is sitting next to her. I know it doesn't seem like much, but the small things have always been what really matter to me.
I really need advice. I know talking it out with my friends would be a good choice but I wouldn't know how to bring it up and how they would respond to me. I've always been nice and trying to be friends with her but somehow it's just not working. Am I doing something wrong? ... This seems really childish but I can't help this feeling. gahhh!
Thanks so much in advance! (link)

Sometimes a person will just rub you the wrong way for no reason. Sounds like thats what you have. You can just let your friend and her be friends. You don't have to be friends with her. Just politely find someone else to talk to when she is around. You don't have to be rude, but not overly friendly either, if you get what I mean. :)

Er. This is a long one. Sorry about that.
Ever since last year, I've liked this guy. There's no specific reason, I mean, we didn't have a lit in common THEN, but I guess we do now. And there was a dance at the end of last year. I was just dancing with my friends, but my friends felt bad for me, so they asked him to dance with me. (his name is Zach) I never even really wanted to, [I'm really super shy] and he had a girlfriend. So I was totally fine with him not dancing with me. But...my friends asked him, and I never even knew that they did until he walked over and gave me the "I like you, but only as a friend" speech. And yada, yada, yada. All I know is I spent the whole night crying. Not at the dance. I'm not one who likes to cry in front of the person who made me cry. So when I got home, I spent the whole night crying.
Early this year, I wrote him a letter apologizing for what my friends had done. I didn't want to annoy him, so when he asked for no more letters, I didn't write him any. Until he got a letter in his locker that read "I want u I need u oh baby oh baby" And he threw it at me, thinking it wa smy note sent to him. Well, it was sent by this girl named Amanda, who we think likes Zach too.
So I wrote him a note. Like I said, I am shy, and since he was mad at me, I didn't know what else to do. [Was this a good descision?] I was just saying that I didn't write the last letter [The oh baby one] and he believed me. Zach broke up, and got another girlfriend. And all was well. We were friends.
But now we have more in common, and he doesn't have a girlfriend. Should I take the kill, risking rejection for the up-teenth time? Or should I just go for his friend who I think likes me? I like them both pretty well equally. I wouldn't say the same thing if it was last year, but I've gotten a lot more lienent with guys since then. I've also realized that Zach and I are probably never going to happen. What should I do?
I'm trying to be wise with the signoff...

I'd forget Zach. He knows where you are if he wants a date. Go for the friend if you think he likes you. :)

ok can some one please help me here
my gf keeps getting her ass smacked by dudes and its realy getting me pissed off anyway should i beat the liveing shit out of the guys who are doing it? or just tell them to stop? (link)
| |
I honestly think your girlfriend should be the one saying something. I don't mean a weak little stop that either. I mean a keep your hands off me. In a very serious way. If she has, or if it doesn't work...start kickin' ass :)

What is he doing? When he breaks up with his girlfriend, you'll know he's serious. Once that happens then you're good to go. :)
|
|
OK, so theres this guy that i REALLY REALLY love. he likes this other girl, but he has no chance with her. someone told me that they were tlaking to him, and he said he might ask me out or that other girl. i REALLY like him and i might have a chance with him, but the thing is i dont know how to get him over the other girl and start to have more feelings for me. in the hall when i walked past him i saw him blush. what should i do?!?!?!? (link)
| |
You just be yourself. If he starts liking you, he will forget all about the other girl. :)
|

Don't go back with him if you can't trust him. If you think you can, then give it one more chance. :)

If you are wanting to be with your friends more than the boyfriend, you need a break. Usually a girl wants to be with the boyfriend 24/7. I think you are ready for a break. :)
