Are you supposed to do homework by yourself, or with other people, so you can have a better advantage?
And why?
When people do homework together, without the teacher saying so, is that cheating? Or when people copy homework from other people. Or is that having the best advantage?
I thought you were only supposed to get answers from other people when you didn't understand something and needed help. But copying directly from someone else, or doing certain parts just to get the work done faster. It's not ethically right, and I thought that is not how homework is supposed to be either. But my mom thinks otherwise, and now I'm really confused.
I'm a 17 year old junior.. and it takes me longer to do work and everything cause I never cheat with homework like that. Honestly I'll admit I cheat occasionally on tests and quizzes, but I'll admit its wrong. If I spent more time studying, which I'm trying to do, to be a better student, I wouldn't have needed to do that. I only get answers when I don't understand something but I thought that's what the main point of homework was.. to only ask when you needed help. and there's a difference between having help and being lazy. at least admit its wrong.. people seem to act like its okay and everything. and then they wonder why our world is so f***ed up. from someone copying work from someone else to "get the best advantage" to a politicians avoiding taxes to "get the best advantage", its the same f***ing concept.
Are we supposed to try and have the best advantage or do what is ethically right? I am so confused. (link)

The whole point of homework is for you to learn the material before you are tested on it so you won't feel the need to cheat.
Here's the Donald1968 method:
1. Look at the material yourself. From what you've learned in class, can you do it?
2. If not, then read the textbook. Does that adequately explain things so that you can do the homework?
3. If not, go get help. Try your teacher first, and then go work with other people.
As long as you learn the material, it doesn't matter how you learn it.

Hello to all and thank you for your interest; this question is open to all! :)
I would like to know your brutally honest opinion about girls with dread locks.
Hot? Gross? Don't care? Let me know!
Thanks for your time!
Blessings :) (link)

If you're black, then short dreadlocks can look pretty cool.
If you're a white girl, then they look ridiculous/hideous. What are you, Bob Marley's photo negative?

Hello. So I have friends w/ this girl for 10+ years now and we've been through thick and thin. Something happened last month that I can't seem to forget and move on. Basically we had a fight and after requesting we have a break for a week to calm down, we met and decided to put it behind us. She has, but I can't. The trust is gone and everytime I look at her or even think of her, I'm filled with dread and distrust (almost to the point of "hate" though it's a bit extreme). I have always stood by her even though my family has advised me to ditch her. Before, I leaned on her for friendship because I was so insecure but now I have a new lease on life and finding my voice and self confidence. The fact that our life paths are going in totally different directions and the fact that I can't trust her is making me think twice of continuing our relationship. Should I dissolve this "friendship"? She has noticed that I've been distant on her which I know is cowardly but she gets really defensive when confronted. What should I do? Can someone that's dominant (her) understand? Help please. (link)

You are calling her "Toxic"! I think you already know what you should do here. Trust is pretty much one of the load bearing pillars of friendship (or ANY relationship, really). If trust is gone, so should you be.
Is this a girlfriend? A "Friends with Benefits" kind of situation? It kind of sounds like it.
If she's the dominant type, then you pretty much have to go in her life path direction in order to maintain the relationship.
What are YOU getting out of this relationship NOW? Not in the past or two months ago...NOW! Is your relationship worth the effort of you dealing with this stuff NOW?
You're a guy, right? Your friendships with other guys don't entail this much work, do they? Save this level of effort for your long-term girlfriend or wife!

i want to know if he love me to (link)

That's a tough question!
First of all, it depends on the man. Is he already in a relationship with someone else? Does he seem happy in that relationship? If so, then you should probably look elsewhere. Don't even try to get involved with a married man, it rarely works out for the best.
Secondly, you can tell if a man likes you by whether or not he makes social contact with you without you talking to him first. Does he call you up without you having to call him first? Does he email you (and ONLY you) with something funny he heard or saw? Does he flirt with you at all?
If so, then it's a sure thing that he likes you. If I were you I would put on some clothes that you look good in and make you feel beautiful and confident, put on some makeup, and then go talk to him. Tell him that you are attracted to him and that you were wondering if he felt the same way. The worst thing he can say is "NO".
If he says "NO" then you should realize that your world is not going to end. You will at least have some kind of closure or resolution to the issue of whether or not he loves you. Also, if he doesn't love you back, just know that it's a good thing to love someone. It makes you human and good. Loving is like a workout for your soul. It's better than hating, right?
There are so many people in this world for you to love. Go and love them. I promise you some of them will love you back...maybe even this man you're talking about!

I Don't know what it's called even though I've been trying to for a long time now. For about 2 years now, I've felt little to no emotions, constant suicidal thoughts, no need to socialize, haven't been able to remember a single dream, and the need to be alone.
2 Years ago, I was the guy with all the friends, the happy person with the happy life. Now, I'm still considered to be the same person by at least 90% of people I know. The 10% that asked me if there was something wrong, I blew them off. I don't tell people my problems, and don't feel "alone in the world". I don't see the point in "white lies" and analyze all my conversations, thinking of what to say next before saying it. I don't feel happy, sad, regret, guilt or anything. But I still have suicidal thoughts. I can't explain it well. When I think of suicide I feel like a great weight will be lifted.
To be honest, I'm surprised i went through with this. I normally just read, not write. Oh and also please don't go "Please see a therapist, or doctor, or speak to someone." I've tried enough times. (link)

What changed 2 years ago? That may be your key in trying to understand what this is. It may be that there's some idea or situation that you're ignoring and that you need to resolve for yourself.
Are you having an existential crisis? By that I mean, do you think that your existence has no point or value? If so, then you need to MAKE it have a point or value. You have to go out there and do something for someone besides yourself. Volunteer for the Red Cross. Take a cooking course. Join a sport. Do something!
Practical things you can do are that you can exercise, eat a healthier diet (Google "diet for depression"), and spend more time in the sun.
ALL THIS BEING SAID:
You sound like you are clinically depressed. I know you say that you don't want to see a doctor and that you have seen doctors before. However, you should know that there's no ONE MAGIC CURE for depression...and if it doesn't work, that's it! You're screwed!
Treatment for depression is a collaborative effort between you and a doctor. If the meds aren't working, tell him or he won't know. There are a lot of different meds with different dosages and one will work for you.
FINALLY:
Do not kill yourself. Stick it out because things change...sometimes for the better...sometimes for the worst...but it's all interesting.
A quote from a movie that I think you should remember:
"The dead only know one thing, it is better to be alive."

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost four months. He never ever pressures me, and even though he jokes about some things, he is very patient and understanding.
The farthest we have gone is kissing. Sometimes I sit in his lap, but we do cuddle and hold each other a lot. I really do like him, and I know he really likes me or else he wouldn't stick around through my insecurities and teasing. I think we really connect as a couple and it's really great to have a loving, open relationship after so many heartbreaks.
Anyway, I feel really ready to go a little bit further in our relationship. I'm waiting to have sex and all that, and I am grossed out over tongue kissing, so I definitely am skipping that. So now I really want to show him my breasts. He used to say he wanted to but I told him to wait and he did so without protest. I'm a little nervous about showing him but I feel really ready.
So what do you think about this? And how should I go about showing him without fully taking my bra off?
Thanks! :) (link)

It sounds to me like you don't want to have sex yet.
If you don't want to have sex with him, then you really shouldn't show him your breasts in any way. All that is going to do is make him sexually excited and he's going to want to have an orgasm. He'll be frustrated if he can't have one and this might lead to some mixed messages to him. If a guy sees and feels a his girlfriend's breasts, he's naturally going to assume that sex is forthcoming.
Sex is an awkward thing to talk about with your boyfriend or girlfriend. However, if things are getting to the point where you're going to show him your breasts then it needs to be discussed.
If you want to show him your breasts but do NOT want to have sex, then you should tell him this.
Then, you'll have to be prepared to stop it if it goes too far.
You're really kind of playing with fire here, though. If I were you, I'd cool it with the intimate contact and focus more on having fun in other ways with him like the both of you going out with friends on group activities.
It may be that he's looking for a sexual relationship. If you're not prepared to give him that, then you need to tell him this right now so he won't have any false expectations out of where this relationship is headed.

My girlfriend told her friends(best friends) she cheated on me and when i asked her she just said she was a compulsive liar and that it wasn't true. I really belive it isn't true either because it was supposedly with a guy 10 years older then her. how should i deal with this situation? (link)
|
You kind of answered your own question there. If the girl says she's a "compulsive liar", then you are headed for a world of pain in your relationship with her.
That being said, your own personal goals for the relationship are the issue here. Do you just want to have sex with her until you meet someone else? If so, then do that (but use protection, for goodness sake).
Are you looking for a long, rewarding relationship and perhaps marriage? If so, you're not going to find it with a compulsive liar.
You cannot change anyone unless they want to be changed. You can't ask her if she wants to change because how would you know she's telling you the truth in her answer to that question...or in her answer to ANY question. How would you know she really loves you?
You should dump her and go and look for someone else. Your only other option is to ride this relationship until it INEVITABLY crashes. Dumping her now saves you time. Waiting for the inevitable crash postpones the pain of the breakup for you both for as long as possible...but wastes time...a resource of which you have only a finite amount.

I am married with 2 children. I had an affair with a black man and I am white. I have tried for three months to work on my marriage and had no contact with him. I miss him terribly but have not divorced my husband bc he is a good dad and good husband. Everyone says it would be hard for them to adjust to someone black. It has been 3 months since contact with this other man. The feelings are not going away and I am trying to do what is best for my kids. Am i doing the righ thing? What is your opinion? (link)

It really doesn't matter what race you are, having an affair is not the answer to an unhappy relationship. Ask yourself these questions:
1. Are you happy in your marriage? If the answer is "no", then why is that?
2. Does the person you had an affair with feel the same about you? It might be that they thought it was a one-time thing and don't want to have a serious relationship with you.
3. Is there any possible way you could improve your relationship with your husband? If so, you should really explore that alternative, because in your words: "He is a good dad and good husband".
Get counseling to try to stay with your husband. Whatever you do, DO NOT confess the affair to him unless you want to end the relationship. That is, don't try to get rid of your own guilt if you feel bad about the affair. You're just going to have to live with that.
What's best for your kids is that they live in a home with a mom and dad who love each other and them. If that's not possible in any way, then you need to divorce your husband. However, you really should try to work it out with him if possible because kids of divorce have a general tendency towards drugs and premature sexual activity.
