hi, you just answered my question about my play/confirmation class. thank you for your help, it means alot. i do have one further question though, since you seem to give good advice. the problem is that my confirmation class is a class with 5 other people my age & we are al assigned specific prayers & we have to practice the service all together, in order, each time. this is why i am afraid to let the confirmation class down & it is harder to ask to reschedual it. do you have any further advice?! thank you so much!

I think a good start would be to talk to your confirmation class teacher or your priest or pastor or whomever you 'answer' to for this class. I'm inclined to think that you're not the first person to have a conflict of schedule and he/she may have some solutions from past experiences that you may not even realize. If he/she takes the "come or else" attitude then you have to do some thinking. Its good that you don't want to let anyone down, but unfortunately you can't be in both places. Perhaps you could skip play practice one time and conf. class the next time or maybe you could spend half the evening at one and half at the other. That way you can squeeze in a little of each. I know that plays take a lot of cordination and practice, I don't know much about conf. classes. Maybe you could bribe your conf. classmates with pizza to meet you another night for some extra practice if you do need to miss one night. Hope this helps, sorry if its not much help...


whats wrong with me? honestly im a fun person positive, i have so many friends and lot of them guys too...but why cant someone just seem to find me attractive enough to date me or want something more!!???? (link)
If you don't have a confident self image, people tend to sense that and it tends to affect their opinion of you. If you are great than keep believing it, and keep doing things that will boost your image of yourself.



I am in a play and I have a big part. The show is the 1st weekend in May, and we don't have any rehearsals this upcoming week because it is school vacation, so basically we have the two weeks after vaction and then it's the show. I am also getting confirmed at my Hebrew School. It's on May 22nd, so it's later than my play. However, we only meet once a week for confirmation class (Wednesdays) and for the next two weeks it will over lap with my play rehersals. There is NO WAY I can miss play rehersals...it will be tech week and my character is VERY important. However, I think they will be very mad if I miss confirmation class. I have not missed it yet, I only had to leave a half an hour early this past week. Other kids in my confirmation class have missed it a number of times, so I thought it would be okay to miss twice. However, it will be SO CLOSE to confirmation, I am positive they will be pissed at me if I miss two in a row for my play reherasals.. I have NO IDEA what to do...I mean technically other people missed confirmation alot, but I feel like this is different because it is so much closer to the actual date of it. I cannot miss two confirmation classes in a row - maybe I can miss one of them, but not two. My play rehersals are from 6-9 pm and confirmation is 6:15-7:45. I really do not know how to handle this, and I think that which ever thing I miss, somebody is going to be VERY UPSET with me. My director of the play will probably be mad if I am that late...especially since it will be tech week (we do it in costume and with light cues). What should I do?! Thank you in advance. (link)
On one hand you have an extracurricular activity and the other hand you have your faith. At first glance I'm inclined to say confirmation class should be your priority, but the more I thought about it, I changed my mind. Confirmation class is important, but faith isn't really about going to specific classes at specific times, its something that you feel in your core. If its strong, than missing some classes shouldn't be a big deal. I would talk to the people in charge of the classes, see if there is any way you can meet your obligations in another way. Maybe meet with them at another time or something. Pray, that often helps alot in matters like this.

ok so theres this guy i like. he treats me right. and he doesnt push anything on me sexually wise. He says he wants me to be happy and that will make him happy. I really like him but im afraid of getting hurt. This is the first guy that ive fallen for in a long time. Is this guy really interested in me? (link)
If you are always scared of being hurt, you will always be keeping people out of your heart. I'm very sensitive and get hurt easily, I came close to putting up walls once, but then I realized that I would rather be the person who is open hearted, feels emotions intensely (even the sucky ones) rather than be the person that keeps everyone at a distance, and never gets hurt but also doesn't get to feel those wonderful feelings associated with a good relationship. From what you describe, he seems like a good guy, but even if he does hurt you, its better for you to be open hearted to the possibilities.
