Was that guy 'George Martinez' on the movie Accepted. He looks so much like a frat boy from that Harmon School.
When Sherman was at the rush party at the pool table, there was that main guy and two other guys.
Was it George? (link)

No George Martinez on the cast list.

15/female/sophomore in high school
Lately I feel so stressed to the max, like I'm to the point of breaking. The new school year just started a few weeks ago, and I already feel like I'm drowning in most all of my classes. I've always thought of myself as smart, but it just seems that my new classes (which are all either Honors or AP) are just too hard for me- basically impossible. I can hardly ever focus on my work, and if I even try I don't understand what to do- which prompts me to lose focus again.
I've missed four days of school already, all of which have been because of working so late into the night (it takes forever for me to complete my work, since it's so difficult for me) that I either don't get it all done (and repercussions for unfinished homework are brutal in all of these advanced classes) or I'm simply too tired and feel awful the next morning.
I had a similar problem last year, which caused me to get way behind in school and miss 30 days. I ended up making it all up with all A's and B's, and began to feel fine just like I did before high school started over the summer, but as soon as school started again last month all my issues came rushing back to me, despite my vows that this year would be better.
These problems have had affected my mental health in strange ways. I find myself crying all the time over the littlest things, I can't find any motivation to do what I know I must at times, I'm always feeling nostalgic towards the times when school wasn't so impossible for me, and I hardly ever do anything social anymore. School just seems like a giant looming tower whose shadow I constantly live in, threatening to crash into my unstable life. I think I may be depressed, but I have no idea what to do about it.
My mother is at her wit's end with this whole scenario. I don't think she fully understands how I feel- to her, I simply am too lazy to do my work, and would rather stay home and watch TV all day. She's been resorting to a somewhat "tough love" approach, which is in all honesty making my situation worse. I know she's trying to help, but I don't think she understands (nor wants to understand) what I'm going through. I'm not sure she would even listen if I told her everything from the paragraph above- she would just start screaming and tell me that the only thing I can do is just be normal and do what I need to do.
I really think I need to look into alternative options besides traditional schooling. High school really isn't working out for me, but I have a lot I want to do with my life, and dropping out is absolutely not an option I even want to think about. Of course, I really do think that there is also something wrong with my mental state that needs taking care of, though I have no idea how. I just need some help to get my life back on some sort of track (even if it is a slightly non-traditional track) so I can start living the kind of life I want to live. (link)

This might be something your schools
guidance counselor can help you with.
Explain the situation to her/him and
see if they can help you find a solution.
At the very least they may be able
to get some of your teachers to work
with you.
Good luck!

so let me just say that im 16 years old and so is my boyfriend and im about 99.9% sure im pregnant im taking a test when i get paid in couple days but my boyfriend and i had sex when i was ovulating we were using a condom but he must have not put it on right because it broke and we didnt notice it until after he came .. anyways
i need to tell him and my parents, my mom will be upset a bit but she would get over it quickly and i know she would help me she already said if i every got in this situation she would and im not worried about telling my parents its my boyfriend im worried about he has this whole plan to go to college and graduate and start a business and if we had a baby together at 16 then thats going to change, his parents are the opposite of mine, they don't like me to much because i dont go to church.. and they told him if he got me pregnant he would have to drop out of school and it would ruin his life and i just feel bad my friends said its not all my fault but i just feel like it is and i dont want him to have to ruin his plan he has and ah im just so stuck what should i do or say?? (link)

Once you know for sure you tell your parents.
The boyfriend should actually be worrying right
along beside you. Hes mature enough to have sex,
Hes mature enough to face the possible
consequences. He should be worried, he should
be scared.
Will his life come to a halt? Probably not.
Unless you get married he will happily go
on as he has been. You are the one who will
do the paying. He should be held responsible,
but 9 times out of 10 the guy goes on with his life. He is legally not an adult, so I don't
know the legality of it all.
I don't tell you this to upset you. Its
just statistically the way it goes. You
need to be prepared to take this on all
by yourself. His parents may have told
him what hes going to do should you get
pregnant, but in reality they will probably
protect him when it comes right down to it.

Growing up, the cornerstone of my being and identity was thus: Do good, and good things will happen.
I'm a religious guy, and I always, always, do what I think is right.
Up until 7 years ago, no matter what happened or whatever came my way, I stood my ground and persisted.
Then I met a person, who I thought I could trust and trusted me. And this person, in time, wronged me in response to me doing what I thought was right. And in the process, they tore the foundation of my self-belief down, and made me out to be essentially a bad, horrible man.
Traditionally, it's been my experience that karma, or justice, always does its thing. But in this case, there was no vindication for me.
I've recently checked in on said person who wronged me through the wonder of blogs, and discovered that while I'm a graduate who is jobless, love life on the rocks, and his dreams increasingly out of reach, they are happy in their love life, have a good job, and everything is going their way.
While I've been trying to still live like a good person, this person who is selfish and cruel is happy, while I'm still second-guessing the motivation behind every good thing I do.
I'm not asking how to get my self-belief in karma back. I've accepted that nothing I do is going to change my life to a happy one, even if I remain a good man (in my mind at least). All I want to know is, where do I go from here now that I know that being a horrible person apparently gets you happiness and being nice leaves you hating yourself? (link)
|
I don't know if I can do your question
justice or not but I am going to give
it a try.
I think that good things do happen to
people who live life trying to be as good
as they can be to others. Bad things happen
too. The kindest people in the world will be
hurt by other people and things. Thats life.
With luck people LEARN from those bad things
that happen and become even better people for
it.
If you are a religious man of the Christian
faith, you should remember that your reward
comes later. Not in this life. The person who wronged you may indeed be happy in this life. That may be all there is for that person.
It seems to me that your pain and unhappiness
is still being determined by this person who
has wronged you. If you want a happy life I
think you need to forgive this person. Stop
letting whatever happened rule your life today.
You are allowing the bad to win. It is what
is making you unhappy.
Don't read their blogs, don't worry about
how they are living their life, Don't worry
about the good job they have or even if they
have a good love life. It should no longer
matter or effect YOUR life in any way. Let
it go.
I think when you do, you will find your
happiness in being a good person again.
Try and remember that none of those things
truly make a person happy if they are a
miserable person. Not long term anyway.

in english class, we have begun a book that i skimread over the summer. there will be both a writing assignment as well as an actual written examination at the end of the book. i want to get the most that i possibly can out of this book NOW so that i don't have to stress before the exam, etc.
the book is the grapes of wrath, and, as i stated earlier, i skimread it over the book and i do have a general idea of what happens in the book.
but i wanted to know a few things.
PLEASE NOTE: NO SPARKNOTES / CLIFFNOTES / ETC.
(1) what can i do to accurately prepare for the exam at the end of the book (which will be in a few weeks)?
(2) should i write a summary in my own words after each chapter?
(3) what questions can i ask myself AS I READ EACH CHAPTER?
(4) what questions should i ask myself AT THE END OF THE BOOK? (so far i have... (a) describe the principle characters, can you detect a transformation of personality? (b) what was the climax and why was do you think it was the climax? (c) what patterns (i.e., recurring images, ideas, or words) emerge in the story? (d) what are major symbols in this novel? (e) what are the major themes in this novel?)
(5) what else can i do to get the most out of this book so that i do not have to reread it before the exam?
it's a pretty long book, so rereading it is out of question at this point. i know "take notes on the book" but please be specific and / or answer one or more of the above questions.
thank you so much. (link)
|
I think you have some good ideas. I
think all would probably help you.
I think if I were to do any of them
It would be number 2.
The Grapes of Wrath is really a very good book.
I really hope you enjoy reading it. I'm afraid
if you are thinking to much about what you
should remember etc. You may not enjoy it as much.
You might try after your chapters to write
a little comparison of how times have changed
since it was written? What things are about the same? What did you learn about those differences?
Were things worse than they are now or were
some things actually better?

I'm 21/f, the guys are 21 and 23. They're both generally childish, but one of them is brutally honest. One of them lies, but sucks at it...but this is quite a bit more subtle than a lie, which is why I'm confused.
I dated the 23 year old for awhile, and we've had kind of an on-and-off relationship for about three years. We've settled into a very solid friendship, and have always been honest with each other about everything, whether it was really necessary to say it or not. (Which actually led to some fights of ours.)
The 21 year old is my ex's friend, and we dated for about a month in one of the off-times before I realized what a mistake it was and ended it. This guy has another girlfriend, and they've exchanged "promise rings," whatever that means. We've hung out sporadically, mostly as gym buddies, and he's always been fine.
Today, mister 23 let me in on an interesting exchange he had with 21. Apparently, 21 called me a "f*cking whore," to which 23 responded with a long string of accusations and swear words, leaving 21's house and not answering his phone calls. This was totally random and uncalled for. I don't know the context of the conversation, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it to 23, but it's bothering me.
What I'm trying to figure out is if it's true or not. When I dated him, 23 tended to twist things. Thus, fights ended with my apologies instead of his, etc. I learned a lot from him, though, and he doesn't have the ability to confuse me like that now, nor does he want to. It crossed my mind that he might have told me that little story to stop me from hanging out with 21, but since I hardly see him anymore anyway, and 23 knows that, I don't see the point.
If 21 thinks I'm such a whore, then why does he randomly call me asking to hang out? 23 and I hung out for awhile today, and 21 called both of us within 5 minutes. Neither of us answered. I'm thoroughly confused as to what's going on at this point. Both of them could theoretically have ulterior motives, and I can't really talk to either of them about this without making waves. Generally I don't have an issue doing that, but 23 and I just bounced back from something pretty bad. The last thing we want is to be mad at each other over something stupid when we're trying to remember why we connected in the first place.
What do you guys think? (link)
|
Before I even got to the part where you think the same, I thought, "23 is jealous." I don't think
I'd rule that out.
You may not see him as often but, maybe he has a problem with you talking to him on the phone or anything. Maybe 21 made some remarks that made 23 think 21 still may like you.
I know you don't want to make waves but I'd ask
21 exactly what he said. You may not want to
argue with 23 right now, but if he is telling stories its important to know that. It doesn't
have to end in a battle, but you should let
him know if you've caught him in a lie.
|
I don't want an answer to make me feel better. I just want an opinion. Is it ever okay for a guy to cheat? Even if he said he was drunk when it happened and he had sex with someone else, though he rememberes what he did during the sex?
I think its a stupid excuse, and he remembered everything but his girl. I just want opinions. I say cheating is NEVER okay.
Thanks. (link)
|
No cheating is never ok. Its never ok to
hurt another person who trusts you.
Drinking until you are stupid is not a
good excuse either. :)

My friend and her boyfriend had sex and I dont know if he came on the bed or not. A few days later she had a sleepover and I slept in her bed. Is there a chance I could be pregnant? My period is late and I'm kinda worried cause' I'm only 16. (link)
|
-
No. I think it is safe to say that if
you are pregnant it is not from sleeping in your friends bed a few days after she had sex in it.
If you have had sex, you might be pregnant.
If you haven't you are simply late. Being
late is very common at your age. Nothing to
worry about. :)

I think I might have whooping cough, seeing as there's been more than 30 cases of it in my county. As far as symptoms, I have a runny nose, I cough like crazy, and in the beginning I had a really sore throat (but it's gone.) But the thing is, I was vaccinated against it. o_0 Is there a chance I have it? The coughing only gets worse everyday. x_x
14/f if it helps x) (link)
|
You could indeed have it. See your
doctor just in case!
From http://www.pertussis.com/
For more info go to site.
Whooping Cough Overview:
* Whooping cough, medically known as pertussis, is a serious and highly contagious infection.
* It is named after the "whoop" sound children and adults make when they try to breathe in during or after a severe coughing spell. These coughing spells may make it hard to breathe, eat, or sleep.
* Whooping cough can lead to cracked ribs, pneumonia, or hospitalization.
* While considered a childhood infection, we now know that adolescents and adults are at risk for infection. This is because protection from childhood whooping cough vaccination wears off 5 to 10 years after the last childhood vaccination.
* It is estimated that up to one million cases of whooping cough may actually occur every year in the United States, across all age groups. Only a minority are officially reported because it is a difficult infection to diagnose. For instance, just over 25,000 cases were reported in 2005.

I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years now, but in the beginning of our relationship he checked my phone bill somehow and now I feel like I cant have any friends or even use the phone. I stopped calling everyone and stopped answering the phone. He has a house and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. he never invites me to his house. I was there only 3 times. He says its because we cant smoke in his house, but I know this is bullshit. I'v never met any of his friends or family. Hes met some of my friends when I had them and hes met most of my family. He always goes on trips for days at a time. Recently he said he wanted to have a baby and I just cant see how I could raise a baby in a 1 bedroom apartment and him just come and visit us. I dont know what to do. Im totally isolated. I never go out unless I go to do laundry or food shopping. I dont know who he talks to, but I know he always has people at his house. It seems odd that everyone can go over his house but I cant. I dont know what to do. I ask him all the time if I can come over and he says no because we cant smoke. I feel like Im going to explode or kill myself soon. Please help. (link)
|
You need to get out and have a life.
Start by telling this clown you don't
want to see him anymore and MEAN IT!
If you have been with a guy for 2 years,
have been to his house only 3 times,
can't use your own phone, have never met
his family or friends...your not a
girlfriend. Your someone for him to
come over and have sex with when HE feels
like it.
Please, this is abusive. DO NOT have a
child with this man. You already know
this relationship is just wrong. Don't
bring a child into it. If you do you
will be forever connected to this guy.
You are isolated from the world. Get a
life of your own. Find a job and better
yourself. It will be hard but you can do it.
With a job you can get out and meet people.
Make friends, meet decent men.
Trust me, get rid of this guy and you will
soon feel so relieved. It will take a while
to get over him, but you will if you stick
with it.
Best of luck.

I havent had my period for 2 months, I usually get it every month on the 25th. A month ago I had light bleeding(not my period, I know for sure) and I vomited 1 time, but after that I got no other symptoms, they just went away. I've taken at least 4 Crystal Clear pregnancy tests and they've been coming up with a very faint line and Im not sure if it's positive or an Evap line.
People keep telling me to try the ClearBlue Digital test but others say they give one result on one day and a different result the next day then someone told me that the First Response pregnancy test is the best one out there. I don't know which one to use. My boyfriend and I agreed to take 2 more home tests and then get a Blood test. I've been told that any line, even a faint one, means Positive but I have no symptoms except light abdominal pain. No vomiting, no sore breasts...Im confused, Which home test is more accurate? (link)
|
All the home tests are about the same.
They're all pretty accurate if done correctly.
You can be pregnant with no symptoms but
a missed period. What I suggest is just
stop wasting money on the home tests.
Go get a blood test so you know for sure.
You can get one for little, if anything,
at you local health department.

At my school, I tried to start a Writing club, but this other girl had the same idea as me. Because of that, and the fact that we can't create the same club twice, we had to partner.
To put it simply (and harshly, which I apologize about) she is very strange. "She" also has excessive body hair, meaning, a beard, and a mustache. And smells.
People are actually interested in our club, but they are STAYING AWAY because of her.
She is my co-president. If I forced her to step down, then we'd probably have about 50 people coming. Right now, we only have 10, and I think we will loose them.
So what do I do? Either way, if it doesn't improve, I'm going to call it quits.
But should I, in a last ditch effort, tell her straight up that she is DISCOURAGING people from coming to the club? Try and force her out?
Idk. Everyone I've talked to refuses to come to the club because of her. But it's a bit cut throat to throw her out.
Help? (link)
|
Is there not a teacher in charge of overseeing
the club? If so you should get with her and
talk about this. Maybe she could talk to her
if she has a hygiene issue.
If she is really bad why would the 10 leave if
she stepped down?
If this is just a case of the 50 not joining because they don't like your co-president then
its their loss. Creative people can oft time be strange, or seem strange to others.
People who really want to write and belong to a
club of writers will do so no matter who is in
charge.
I'd just concentrate on the 10 who are
interested enough not to make looks or
personality an issue.

Does anyone know why inmates at the Sarasota County Jail in Florida can only stay there for 11 months and 29 days and then they have to be transferred to the prison in Tallahassee? Please give any info. you have. Thanks in advance! =] (link)
|
I don't know anything specific about Florida,
but most county jails aren't set up for long
term stays.
They are more like a place to hold someone
until they moved to a larger more permanent
place.
Most people in county jails are only held until they have a trial or see a judge. Most only for 2 or 3 days.
If someone has committed a bigger crime, they
go to trial and when its over they go to a
bigger facility set up for long term
incarceration.

i don't know what's wrong with me!! i went to a doctor and she prescribed anxiety pills (2wice! 2 different types!) but one makes me depressed and hopeless the other makes my bite on my teeth and loose control over my muscles and sleep alot... i am really depressed! and i am panicking so much but i am very bad at showing my emotions.. and because of that i rely on "Telling" it so my family thinks i am faking... but it really hurts inside! i don't know what to do anymore and the doctor is not helping... i feel so alone when there is a million people around me ! :'( (link)
|
There are LOTS of meds out there for depression.
What does a wonderful job for one person won't
necessarily help another.
Don't give up on the doctor yet. If you still
have symptoms or symptoms you didn't have
before show up, call your doctor and let her know.
It make take a few tries until you get the
right combination of meds that help you.
Also keep in mind that you have to be taking
the meds for a week or two before they really
start helping you. They need time to get in
your system.
If your family members have never experienced
depression themselves, they may just not
understand. Next time you see your doctor,
It wouldn't hurt for you to ask her to explain
it to them so they understand what you're going
through.

Right.
In the past few weeks, you can see veins in my boobs and around my chest really quite frighteningly clearly. I thought, on holiday, I might be pregnant but then I got my period - besides, I had been on the pill when we did it although I took one about 9 hours late about 4 days before - but he didn't do anything in me, and we were in my grandmothers house so I know he hadn't 'let off' recently, so I don't think the pre-cum would have been much of a problem.
Considering this, I'm still worried. It's the end of summer here and I often get skin problems like bad echzma at this time of year.
What could these veins be? Will they go away?
I'm proud of my boobs, but I feel really self conscious like this.
From a suddenly insecure advicenator!

|
Being able to see your veins is really
normal. I checked! :)
So maybe you just happened to be be wearing something that suddenly made them noticeable
to you. Now that you notice them of course,
you're looking for them. Nothing at all to
worry about.
Now let me clear up some other things you
mentioned. I want you to be safe. Taking
a birth control pill late now and then is
not a big deal. Once you have been taking
them a while that's fine, just don't make
a habit of it. Your chances of getting
pregnant are still very, very low.
Pre-ejaculate is there in every guy, every
time he ejaculates. If you hadn't been on
the pill, it could have been a problem.
For your eczema, here is a place that will
tell you some things to try and avoid. You
may still get it, but maybe it won't be
as severe.

I have a fear of VEINS. Even my own. This is irrational...please give me ways to get over this! (link)

Its a little difficult since you don't say
exactly what it is you fear about them. But
you must remember that they are your life.
They carry your blood to your heart!

Hi, my realationship is somehow difficult and complicated. It's hard to explain.
I met this girl 4 months ago. We officially went to bf and gf after 2 weeks or so. We had a great time, till I had to go back to europe. Before I left we decided that she moves to me to Europe to stay with me and learn german,...,...
The first couple weeks went great. She told me that she loves me all the time and that I'm so different and I'm the one. After like 6 weeks everything changed, she did not call that often anymore, she did not say I love you anymore. I know a long distance relationship is not easy, so I decided to fly over. She was very very happy to see me, she was so nice to me in front of all her friends. But the 2nd night she told me she loves me, but she is not in love with me, what does that mean? I know she is really really afraid of commitment, her earlyer b'friends did hurt her a lot when they broke up and they cheated on her and stuff. So I can understand that it is not easy for her. She told me she never going to trust a guy again. Also she told me she saw her ex boyfriend again and she does not know what she feels about him. I did not know what to say and we went on for the next day. We had another great week together, she always introduces me as her boyfriend and she tells me im cute and stuff. I could feel that she likes me. Before I left she also gave me her cloths for Europe with me and I met her mother and brother for dinner. Why would she introduce me to her family if she s not in love with me? I just do not know what to think, I'm somewhat confused. Maybe someone can give me some advice or advice. I can not talk about it with her, she blocks all the time.
She also told me she is really really afraid that when she is moving over that it will not work out and she doesn't know if she is ready to live with me, it's a huge comitment for her.
I mean I think there are signs that tell me, she is not loving you and she wants to break up. On the other hand she does always things that keep you on believe, oh, maybe she really cares and just doesn't want to show it because she doesn't want to get hurt when she goes 100% for it.
Thankfull for any advice, I will add some more input later.
Greetings from Switzerland

If she told you she loves you but is not IN love with you, you probably need to move on. Its
possible to love someone just as a friend. I
think that is what she is trying to tell you.
Since this has become a long distance
relationship, I just don't think it
will work out. To maintain a healthy
loving relationship you have to work
on it all the time. You just can't do
that over the phone or online. When you
are not there it is easier to be with
people she sees everyday.
I think she has been trying to tell you
that. You probably need to try and accept
it and move on with your life.

Up until a few hours ago, I was living in Los Angelos, California, USA -- Population 16,000,000+. As of now, I live in Salinas, California -- agricultural capitol of the country, population 65,000ish.
As you all can probably imagine, this change doesn't exactly have me jumping for joy. Besides the obvious lifestyle changes this is going to force me to make, I'm leaving behind every friend I've ever known, and my girlfriend of over two years. In fact, the only thing I really have to look forward to here is a moderately well-paying (Considering my age/experince) job that I can't stand going to (Customer service for a company that distributes plastic bags to local vegetable growers. Ugh!!).
I plan on driving back every weekend (6 hour drive) to keep my relationship with my friends and girlfriend healthy, but I'm afraid it won't be enough, and with gas prices the way they are...
I guess I'm just asking for general tips to help cope, and any possible suggestions on ways to gether up enough money to move back quickly. I don't enjoy it here. Not one bit. (link)
|
Its always difficult moving far from home.
If you have no choice but to stay there
try to make friends with the people around
you. New friends can be just as much fun
as old ones. They can help you endure the
loneliness you probably feel.
On the other hand, if its a job you really
can't stand, go home. Put those friends to
work watching the hometown paper for
something that might interest you. Have
them fax you job applications or scan them
to their computers and email them to you.
At the price of gas (and with hurricanes it
will get higher) skip a couple of weekends
going home if you need money to get back
permanently. It would be rough but worth it
in the long run.
Good luck!

I have been offered a position and accepted it out of state and need to start tomorrow. the problem is 1 day after i accpeted the position my collegue calls and tells me of a position that is a sure thing for me when i contact the owner of the business. it would be substantially more money and a better opportunity than the 1st offer. i contacted the owner and he was in process of a business deal and would call me back that was friday eve at 6:pm i waited and no call, i should leave tomorrow for the other position in oregon. do i delay the 1st offer,(who has accomodations set for me until the 15th) do i go and if the other offer comes up just leave the 1st one? (link)

The only "sure thing" is the position you've been offered already.
They are paying accommodations
for you and expect you to be there tomorrow.
Not showing up won't look very good, especially
if the other job doesn't become a reality. If
you never get a call back, you have no job.
Unless the first job is just one you don't
want, I think you need to at least give it
a try. If the other job calls back, you go
to your employer and tell them of your new
job offer. Give them a chance to meet or
beat that offer if they want to keep you.
I guess what it really boils down to is
can you afford to be without a job if the
second place doesn't call back?
