about

Hi, I'm Emily. Call me Emily or Em, I prefer either. I have been a featured columnist 2 times now. After disabling my account I had about 3 years ago, a lot has happened which made me want to come back. I feel as though helping people with their problems, helps me solve mine, even if that doesn't make a lot of sense to any of you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything, I will answer fairly quickly depending on the question. If you want a hard-thought out answer, which is what I usually give, it may take a little longer- it benefits everyone in the long run.

I am a graduating high school student. During my elementary, I graduated as a valedictorian. that is why My parents are expecting me to do good in school and get good grades. Now, I got a grade of 77 in calculus and if they'll learn about it, they would surely be mad at me. I don't know what to do. I love my parents and I did my best but I'm not really good in math. I could not let them down... Please give me advice on what to do/say and perhaps some good study habits in Math because I think it might help.

A 77% is not a bad grade in calculus! Calc is very hard, and my mom even suggests me not taking it and taking another course instead. Its very hard, and a C+ in that class is pretty darn good.


Tell your parents you tried your best. They love you, and even if they get mad at you, they can't stay mad at you for long. Tell them you'll try and do better next semester.

OK! I am totally freaking out because I came home and the house was quiet and I was being stupid I guess and just walked right into my brothers room without knocking because I didn't think he was home and I wanted to borrow one of these sweatshirts he has that are really comfortable and he was totally jacking off like right there when I opened the door. I slammed the door and ran to my room because that is DISGUSTING. Now I can't even THINK about him without wanting to vomit. What do I do now? Do I confront him? Should I say something about him being a nasty perv? I KNOW HE KNOWS I SAW but he hasn't come out of his room and said anything to me. This is so gross.

Lets just clear something up- He isn't a nasty perv. It's normal for a guy (and a girl!) to masterbate. Theres nothing wrong with doing that.


I know you might feel weirded-out by the whole experience, but if you really want to talk to him about it, maybe you should suggest that he keeps his door locked so that this type of thing doesn't happen again. He shouldn't have to explain to you what he was doing, he has the right too. If you feel that there's things you need to clear up with him, definitely talk to him about it! It can't hurt.

I don't know but...

My dad was accused a few weeks ago of harassing someone. He didn't, just to be clear. The woman who accused him is a lazy person who made up this rumor because she was tired of being told what to do by my dad.

My dad is her boss.
See? She's not too bright. I really hate her.

Her story is false too, and doesn't make sense because she claims that he grabbed her arm and forcibly pushed her into her office to get back to work, when what actually happened was he was nowhere near her, he said "Please leave the room, I have work to do. You get back to work." He didn't walk up to her or anything. But she wanted to lash out at him because I don't even know so she claimed he follows her around and calls her names and physically touches her.

Just so you all know, by "physically touches her" I do not mean sexually. And by "harassing" I do not mean sexually.


The company has to do this investigation on it, because they have to take things like this seriously. I'm just asking...how serious is this? Could he lose his job just because some lazy little bitch was bored??

I'm really scared for him, and he's been mopey for the last few weeks because he's scared too.

What do you guys think? And is there anything I can do to comfort him?

first off, im sorry your father got put into this situation. i know how it feels to have a parent loose their job.

the lady who accused your father obviously didnt like being told what to do. thats a normal feeling that anyone has. i know i dont like being told what to do. she didnt like the fact that he snapped at her, so she took it into her own hands and thought that if she got him fired, maybe she could be in charge now and she'd be doing all the bossing when he was gone. im sure your faher didnt physically touch her or call her names because any logical person would realize that they would loose their job if that was what they were doing in a business-like environment. if your father knows he didnt do it, he'll be fine and he can proove himself inocent, its not difficult.

as far as comforting him, just be a great kid and help him out around the house and be extra nice to him. do things without him having to ask you more than once, or even without him asking you.

i hope everything works out for you. if you ever need anything else, feel free to message me for further help.

hope i helped! xoxo

How would my parents go about changing my godparents? The people they chose as me and my sisters godparents from the start have two bratty kids, are druggies, are divorced, are of a diffrent religion, and we have not seen them in over 4 years. The people they want as me and my sisters godparents now have three kids, the father has sadly died (we miss you!), DON'T do drugs, ARE of the same religion, we don't get together often because we live in diffrent states but my mom and the mom of that family are best friends! So is there anything legal or religious we have to do or whatever so that they are my godparents and the druggies arent?

godparents arent a legal/ religious thing. your parents discuss it with them before your born and make an agreement. theres no legal things involved. you can easily tell your current godparents that things arent working out and that your in the process of seeking out new ones. its really simple, and for once, no legal matters.

hope i helped! xoxo
