Im 20 years old, I have faced many obstacles and problems that I have had to go through alone with no help and the help I recieved wasn't ever any good. I have faced women problems, friends moving, suicide, killings, deaths, car accidents, sibling rivals, fighting, weird hobbies, my best friends being raped. I have been through a little of everything and I was the one many of them turned to so I like to help out.

Hobbies: I do a lot of work in recording studios, and video/editing studios so I know film pretty well. I am a director/producer. Thats what I am in school for, to further my knowledge of set production for I am a pre production wizard. I read a lot so I have knowledge. And more.

Education: I graduated at the top 15 percent of my class in high school which was college prep, and right now im in my 3rd year od college. I have an AA degree in media arts, a 6 month screen writing certificate from NYFA. I am 11 months from my BA in FILM and HDTV, and I am a semester away from an International Business Degree.

SO if you have any questions im polite and easy to talk with and you can ask me any question you have, I will be honest no matter what.

My problem is that I am always thinking so critically of myself. It started a few years ago when I realized I was obese. I have lost a few pounds since then, not enough to be rewarded for but I still feel fat and ugly all of the time. Technically, if you went by my BMI I am overweight still. I wish I did not feel this way about myself because I have always admired confident people, you know? I want to be like them. Its like, I tried to slim my body but NOTHING works so I have given up on that. Yet when I look in the mirror I see a fat, ugly person that everyone hates. What should I do? Life is miserable this way. Please help... (link)
Critical,

I know the feeling, at a point in my life I went through that same stage. Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do, its like kicking a bad habit like smoking or drinking. You have to take the time to do it plus it is a full time job because you have to monitor yourself from eating bad things, over eating proper portions. But exercise is good, like jogging for 15-30 minutes a day is better than nothing or even walking for 45 min. As for the confidence that is all about how you handle yourself. It's something that takes practice and finess. I have built up my confidence by furthering myself in aspect of my life, such as computer, reading, language, film, any hobby I take up soon becomes a perfection, a part of my life. So if you want to begin feeling better about yourself take the time to appreciate what sets you apart from people and use that as your foundation to form who you want to be in your future.

I want to earn money and I'm really smart so I figured I would tutor people since my mom wouldnt let me babysit. Can anyone help me with tips on what I need to get started? (link)
Thats simple, you need to find classmates that need help, if your school has a bulliten(spelt wrong) put up fliers with contact numbers. Or get a hold of any school that is looking to hire tutors for students.

Anyone know some ways to get good scolarships. I have tp raise up my grades, they failed for some reasons. and was wondering if anyone knew some really good sclarships. for business (spelled wrong i know) accounting marine biology or oceanography. any scolarship will do.
thank you in advance (link)
Actually, grades alone aren't enough to get scholarships, Like when I was in High school the gitl with the Highest GPA got only two scholarships,and my friend who stood at a 2.8 got 6 scholarships because he was involved with school activities and was a good standing member in the community. Now what you have to do is talk with the school counceler as ask them to recommend you sites that offer a variety of scholarships and or possibily get ahold of Universities and find out which one has the field you are going into and ask them about the scholarships they are offering.

Today I was named captain of my school's cheerleading squad, which is really good until I realized that I have no idea what I am doing. This is the first time my school has had a real squad and if I mess it up they might not have it again. Someone suggested renting a video on cheering, does anyone else have ideas? (link)
Dear Cheerleading,

They picked you for a reason, you have fire, drive, motivation, passion, and they must feel you are a leader even if you feel you aren't any of the above. Congrats from becoming head cheerleader is where I will begin. Well renting a video will not help you because those are only sugar coated by hollywood so don't do that. Do what comes natural hold practices, hold cheerleading meeting so you and the squad can learn each others potential, learn everyone and their strengths for that will come in handy. You have seen the videos and watched real cheerleaders somewhere well now its time to pay attention and if you watch a movie only watch their performances to become creative and talk with the couch. Just do what comes from the heart and pass that on..

Hi, I'm a single 37 year old mother, My son is 12 and in 7th grade, he is going to Public school. His conduct has been allways A, but for first time in his school years there is a teacher that thinks all the oposite, I have talk with my son and he says he doesn't know why she doesn't like him, his art work is allways under grade and for some reason now and then, his work disapears from the room. I request a meeting once before, but I felt the school counselor cover up the teachear's behavior and the situation got a little better, but know I can't aloud this abuse to keep going on. My son is an artist and is been selling his work for sometime, the teacher didn't know that, when I told her she sayd maybe he is a good sculptor, but nothing else because he doesn't do his work. Now the problem is that my soon wants to enter a school of art and with no recomendation from this woman even with a great portfolio he won't be accepted, I feel frustrated and my son says that her pet (the teachers favorite) allways gets good grades even with unfinish work. Please help me, what to do? I'm going to have a meeting with her next week. I'm an educated woman and treat people with respect, but I want to be severe and upfront after all is my child's future! (link)
First you have to approach the meeting with literally a clear mind frame. And look at the course materials such as what does the teacher expect? If your son attends class with a poor attitude because of this current "abuse" as you put it then that could be affecting the grade. Or simply she wants your son to try harder at his work, I had a teacher do that to me though high school My work was excellent but because I knew that he would give me a lower grade because my work was natural and didn't take hard work. The best thing to do is ask her what the problem is and use other classmates work as an example and compare it to that or your sons work.

I am failing in math I don't want to do grade fourth again!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)
Study its that easy, or get tutored. The best approach is to study like an hour every night and talk to your teacher one on one with the problems you are having because teacher believe it or nt do help their students succeed by allowing extra time retests. So approach your teacher with the problem they will help.

Okay, lately in school I've been kinda failing. But within the past week I've brought some of my grades from an "F" to a "C" or "D". But, my mom says that if I have any "F"s on my next grade report I can't go on to high school next year. Even though I still have 1 more trimester left. I have 1 "F" and there is no possible way to bring it up because my next grade report comes out next week and the teachers had to turn their grades in yesterday. I really want to go on to high school but I won't be able to with this "F". What should I do?

Grades (link)
First I doubt she isn't not going to let you go to high school. And second just work ten times harder on what your failing im sure its not that hard to pass.

When at school, sometimes I kinda go crazy by taking the seagulls from off the grass and eating them, and then I throw rocks and berries at my friends. Just yesterday, I went streaking and painted myself in tiger stripes through math class. In the computer lab I take all the cds and break them. I've broken a computer one time too. Also I eat pages of textbooks when teachers don't watch. I burned some of the books in the library and then ate them. (Actually, they're pretty tasty with some ketchup.) Last week I jumped on a lunch table and pissed on a yard duty. I am 26 years old and I am still in the 8th grade. Is this normal?

NO.


Those students in New York State are required to take regents either in January or in June. If New York is one of the only states that has to take regents, then why don't they just do what other schools in other states are doing? (link)
Dude, just accept it, every other state in the Us has different regulations if you will, so that means there is nothing you can do.

my friend thinks it's funny that she's not doing her homework. Every time we try to talk to her, she doesn't listen. She's failing and i don't know wht to do. (link)
Now its just time to be honest, remind her she is going to be held back and end up in summer school. That all the good times she thinks she is having is going to end her back in the same grade. And remind her how much people are going to make fun of her because of that..
