I'll answer questions about damn near anything, and if you didn't get the answer you want, GO CRY ABOUT IT. I'm probably the samrtest 14 year old you'll ever meet, and the most modest, so if you want an opinion, I'm the only one who'll give you one from the point of a smart ass 14 year old. And hey, if I poke fun at you too hard, then message me. Not guaranteeing that I'll READ the message, cuz it'll probably just get stuck in my mail filter, but go for it. By the way, I love controversial/ religious questions, because I'm an Witch that has studied religion for years on the side, so I can pretty much shove all of your smack ass christian questions that you slept on all night telling yourself ooh this will be good, cuz theres no way that i'll find a rebuttal, trust me, i'll find a rebuttal half way from debating club to the wrestling team meet.

Last year at school things got really bad for me, i have depression and last year it got really bad. I mean as in my attitude got bad but i never talked bad against a teacher or anything... Now this year parents are saying that if i go to school they will pull their kids out. And the kids are making up things like i physically hurt them when i did no such things! Do i fight back or just let them get what they want and go to a different school?
i know we aren't supposed to say this but please?
thanks in advance...

Just thinking that you'd duck your head and submit gives me shivers up my spine. The human worth is calculated by the courage in his actions. If you're a good debater, outsmart them, if you're a good liar, outsmart them, if you're a good fighter, ACTUALLY hurt them:P Man, people like this are only there to make things harder for you. How do I know this situation? I was in it in grade 2. Yes, I got transferred to a special school for supposedly ripping out some girls hair. Ya right. I was the one that put my head through the chalkboard when snack time got cancelled, I wasn't the kind to hit a girl. So, I did a little snooping around, and found a lock of her hair in the door way. The dirty liar. ya, I was off the hook, because I managed to lie my way out of the chalkboard thing too, but still. Stay in your original school. Fight things out. Even if you lose the battle, the war for truth goes on.

I have an 8 year old son who will be going into 3rd grade.
He played little league baseball this year and loved it.
He had his first football practice yesterday and he wasn't as thrilled about it. Today when it was time for practice he said he didn't want to go. Then when we got there, 1 hour into it he came off the field complaining that he felt like he was gonna throw up. I was concerned about the heat, it's really unusually hot here in upstate NY. But he looked ok, face color normal and he wasn't showing signs of heat exhaustion so I gave him a drink and made him go back out. Not even 5 minutes passed and he was complaining again. This time he refused to go back out and started crying.
So I took him home early and now he is just fine. I KNOW that he was faking it because he didn't want to play anymore.
My problem is, what should I do?
I don't want to push him into playing football if he really doesn't wanna play. But at the same time, he has only been to 2 practices and I feel like he should give it a fair chance before I let him quit. Plus we paid over $100 for him to be on this team.
Should I force him to play, for at least 2 weeks before letting him quit? Or should I just let him quit now?
Thanks for your help (link)

Well, it really depends on where you want him to go with football. Football is a very difficult sport, a very aggressive sport, and a very expensive sport. If you're serious about it, and intend for him to go on to do it through high school and the whole bit, I highly reccomend pushing him harder, because that's what football is about. The entire northeastern hemisphere is facing a HUGE heat wave right now (it was 47 degrees yesterday here in Ottawa, Ontario) I bet he'll be loving it the second this heat passes over. Even if he misses a practice now and then if it's too hot, you can still just pass a ball around at home and keep him in the game. If you just want a hobby sport, try Soccer. Soccer is a great sport for all kids, it teaches dexterity and agility, and boosts endurance and speed greatly. Football does these things as well, but on a much higher scale. It's a fun sport, but some people aren't built for it. Once you reach Peewee, if you aren't a giant, then it's not reccomended. If you want a sport he can get attached too and isn't going to injure him greatly, or grow out of him, try Soccer or Basketball, something of that sort. I guarantee that football will help build a place for him in high school too, chicks dig football players ;)Football is a way of life, rather than a sport, and I guarantee that if it's not the way of life your son is in to, then it'll cause grief later on in life. Well, good luck, and enjoy the heat. Cheers

well school is about less than a month away. I'm going to be a freshman but I'm really nervous because of the grades being mixed together. I was just wondering from expierenced, is high school very different from middle school? and could someone just tell me like somethings i might want to know before I go? thankss. (link)
|
Alright, highschool isn't as fruitful as the rest of these people are saying. Depending on the group of people you hang around with now, you ARE going to lose friends, and you will have to get new ones. High school is full of opportunities, and you're going to kick yourself in the ass for every one you miss. I reccomend if you're really outgoing to just run around the school with a good friend and automatically meet as many people as you can, introducing yourself and your friends to as many peopel as possible. You'll thank yourself for it later, and so will the people you meet. You have to do this quickly in the beginning of the year though, because depending on the difficulty of the courses you take, people can get really stressed out and rely on only their close friends for support, at which point they aren't going to want to be your friend. I reccomend if your school has a beginning of the ear barbecue to take full advantage of it, before the stress of homework and classes sets in. If you're more of a shy person, just immerse yourself in clubs and teams you enjyo and find people to talk to that share interests. It's easy if you know where to look. Contrary to popular belief, everyone in your school is going to be a stereotype, and that makes it easier to know who to talk to and who to avoid. There aren't going to be people who's sole role in your life is to bully you, jsut some people will be nicer than others. If someone is an asshole, you can very easily beat the crap out of them, blame it on peer pressure and teenage hormones, and get away with it as just a notch on your belt. The friends you make in high school are going to be the best friends you'll ever make. The experiences you have in high school are going to be the best experiences you'll ever have. And the memories you make in high school will be the ones that stick with you your whole life. Just go with the flow, keep your head up, and go with it.

ive been a christian my entire life up until now, jsut before my whole life i gew up in the church, and thats how i was taught. now that im older i started to look into spirituality a little deeping and ive found that what i belive isnt really christianity. im going on a mexico missions trip with my youth group in a few weeks, we're goign to tijuana to build houses and work with teh kids. i've been twice, and its always a erally spiritual experience, i guess im kind of scared that i will fall back into how i was before, just because of all the pressure from everyone else, how do i stay clear from this, without not going on the trip? (link)
| |
Alright, lets lay some ground for this answer. What I believe in is raw morality. No spirituality. You do the right thing because you believe in your heart that it's right, not because god say's it is, or any other deity you so choose to follow. Murder is wrong because it's an awful thing to do, as decreed by common sense, not by god. If god came down all of a sudden and said that murder was acceptable, what would you believe? You'd lose some faith in your all merciful deity now wouldn't you? That's because the law is the law regardless of what god says. You're being given an opportunity to go and build houses for people in tijuana, and they're a beautiful people, I happen to know people that go on these trips. Don't go on the trips to preach, go on them because helping these people is the right thing to do. And hey, if you ever find yourself in Tijuana, running from the cops, you've got a friend in the Mexicans. If you want more on the whole morality bit, give me an email, and I can reccomend some more columnists that can point you in the right direction. I don't know why when you asked this question people felt the need to educate you on Islamic and Christian beliefs. Being a missionary I'm sure you already knew, and I'm hoping that I helped.

this kid keeps horrasing me about somthing he shouldnt be because its nothing funny at all.i actually have an awsome sence of humor.but this isnt funny.he wasnt supposed to find out and its making me mad cuz like we were cool and all but like in phys. ed he will like pull my hair (not mean just so i would look at him)..and like when i walk to my bus he goes "haha you were rapped"(he does this wen i pass his bus and hes looking out of the window)..and i dunno what to do!! ps im not telling any authorities or anything
and im trying to get my friend to beat him up..but im not sure he wants to..so idk (link)
|
Ahaha I know exactly the kind of kid you're talking about. As a matter of fact, about 6 or 7 of them are in my gym class. Thing is is they're not trying to be mean they're playing a game with you. They get a kick out of your reaction. Beating the shit out of them, no matter how much fun it is, isn't going to help. Really you just have to beat them at their own game, that game, being being an asshole, is fairly simple. Find out how to offend them, and then make them miserable. Trust me, I had to do this with all of them. Well, all but one of them, he was the one I beat the shit out of to find out it didn't work. Anyways. In sports just like don't pass them the ball when they're open, and laugh at them when they screw up. It sounds horribly mean, but it's the best way to make it stop. They're trying to apply pressure in places that hurt, and the only way to stop it is to apply more pressure back at them. Give it a go. Can't hurt I guess. Anyways, good luck.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life! I am able to see all of the possibilities for failure or success in a situation. I love theatre, music, and sports. My grade point average is a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. I have an exceptional ability to get people to do what I want them to; I have many friends and even more loyal acquaintances. It is quite easy for me to gain the trust of others and get them on my side in an argument. I really want to help people and would enjoy volunteering in a third world or war-ridden country. I was thinking maybe I could go into public or international relations. Does anyone know of a job that utilizes my people and persuasion skills?
Thank you.
(link)
|
So you're a super-intelligent persuasive hippy. That's exciting. My reccomendation, Diplomat, Lawyer, Militant. If you have a really high average than Universities will pretty much pay your way through university. I'd go with lawyer, because no matter how much helping in third world countries is compassionate and all, it's not exactly a career move.
Best of luck,

Which you think is better Cathloic high schools or Public high schools and explain your reason why because i don't know if i want to go to a public high school because iam attending to a cathloic high school. (link)
| |
This question really has a lot of answers as you may have noticed, but I did notice that one area of it wasn't covered. People kept talking about the people and the clothes, and I don't know about you, but I don't go to high school for the people and the clothes. Theres one major difference between public and catholic, and that's the mandatory religion and prayer classes in catholic high schools. This cuts back on your choices for elective courses. Public schools do not have religion classes set as mandatory, and some do not even have religion classes as an option until grade 11 or 12. Really your choice should depend on whether or not you would like to take these mandatory catholic religion courses. I personally am completely turned off of catholicism, and am depressed that disestablishmentarianism didn't cross over to Canada. Boo hoo. Anyway, hope I helped, and if not, then I guess I was of no help.

Okay. The guy I like likes me AND my best friend. My best friend also likes him. Me and this guy had practically gone out in the summer and we were very close, so you can probably understand why I'm still hanging on to him. We're very good friends. And, everyone that I talk to says we'd make such a good couple and we're meant to be. But, my question is, should I still be hanging onto him, or let my best friend have him (even if it does mean I'll be hurt)? (link)
| |
To be perfectly honest I want you to read a book at your library about survival of the fittest. It's a little thing that has gotten us through for thousands of years. The ability to get a mate has been the real challenge for every species on the planet forever. Now, if your friend has no intention of making a move, then he's yours. If your friend has an intention of making a move, and oyu get him first, then he's yours. If your friend gets him first, and you find a way to derail them and get him, he's yours.

14/f...I like this one guy named Warren and I talk to him like everyday. But were just FRIENDS. I don't know what he thinks about me. As far as if he *LIKES* me or not. Winter Formal (dance) is coming up and I want him to ask me to it. I don't think there's any other way to let him know that I want to be asked by him than giving him BIG hints. Does anyone have any ideas about how to give obvious hints?? Thank you. I RATE HIGH (link)
| |
This question is classic seeing as you seem to have some idea, no idea where you got it, that the guy has to ask the girl. It doesn't work that way, and any one who wants someone that bad but doesn't know if they like them would ask them, and if they say yes but are unsure, say it's just as friends. Show him a good night, and go from there. You're in grade 9, it's not the prom. Do what you have to to go with with, and do it fast.
|
Ok...
there is this guy that i like. and i he doesn't know that i like him at all. and i hunt with him. and were just friends. and i love him very much. how should i drop hints to him that i like him a lot. or what should i do???? (link)
|
Basically, if you flirt with him, try and get close to him, and direct lots of attention to him he'll eventuially get the bottom line. Just don't give TOO much attention to him while hunting or you will accidentally shoot him. Thsi is not what you want. Aggresion is only a sign someone likes you when you're 6.

i take Communication Arts, and I didn't know how hard it would be? My latest assignment was to make a script with a partner, and we agreed that he would write the script while I brought the props and costumes. It's called a one word scene, which means one person can say only one word per line, and it has to be at least a minute and no longer than two minutes. See, I didn't have a problem with this until I read the script...it's about him being hungry and wanting to eat lkions while I think it's gross. i don't want to sound rude, but almost half the grade is based on the script and how good it is, and most of it doesn't make sense. Plus, the script it only 48 seconds, and she's a REAL stickler for getting the times straight. I have 2 questions::
How do i tell him in a nice way that I want to re-write the script?
Do you have any good ideas that will work well for a minute with this kind of script? (link)
|
Don't knwo how to say this but i can't imagine how this would be difficult. If he's only written half the script, and the props come later, then wouldn't you jus twrite the other half of the script, and then get help with the props?
If you don't see what you like, email me at hotmail before you rate, I have more.

-Cough-
You're a stick.

Hope I was of help.
If you really want to lose weight, don't do that crap
with the sit ups. Won't help. You're in high school (or late grade 8), join a contact sport team.

okay im the person who just asked about bearshare well now i just downloaded the free version of limewire but it wont connect like i searched clicked download put in the progress it still says 0% and in the status it said tryin to find files so what do i do? (link)
|
Alright Limewire does this all the time, basically, not enough peopel have it to find a strong enough connection, so if you push the sort by sources button at the top where it shows the info categories, it will put the ones with the most sources at the top, and theses will go the fastest.
|
|
okay i just got bear share for my ipod/computer but i have no idea how to use it can someone help me? (link)
| |
Sorry this doesn't directly relate, but bearshare sucks. Everybody says limewire is bad, and everything has viruses, and that's a load of crap. Limewire is your best bet. It's faster, safer, and everyone uses it, so you can find pretty much anything.

On Tuesday, I have a Lit. final. Its over Shakespeare. His life and his plays. The part about his life and the Globe Theater, thats just facts, I can just know them. But the plays, there's 11 of them that we've read (Half of which I didn't understand) that there is going to be comprehension questions on.
I've got summaries for all of the plays, but they're pretty long. Some, like Alls Well That Ends Well and Romeo and Juliet, I know like the back of my hand. But how do I study for the others that I'm not so sure on? Like...reading them over and over isn't going to do nothing and this is like, in the top two of most important midterms to get a decent grade on. Any study technique that does NOT include other people would be very helpful to know. (link)
| |
I can know for a fact that you are not the only one in your class, seeing as the class would be shut down if you were. There are many others in your class in the same position, as lit finals are always hard. Try and find someone who understands that plays that you don't, and doesn't understand the plays that you do. This way you can get yourself a good mark, and help someone else to do the same.

i dont really want a site, but can someone just tell me..who was malcolm x? i was watching trading spouses and the family got mad because the caucasion mother didnt know who he was thanks bye (link)
|
Malcolm X (1925-1965), who was later known also by the religious name El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an African American activist. His militant views that Western nations were inherently racist and that black people must join together to build their own society and value system had an important influence on black nationalist and black separatist movements of the 1950s and 1960s.

To anyone, but especially to other Wiccans:
Hey,
I'm a Wiccan, and I think it's a beautiful religion and I really love it, but lately I'm finding I just don't have the time. I've read so many things that just say 'MAKE the time!' but that is so impractical when you are fifteen and in the middle of 21 GCSEs and an A Level (I kid you not...if you are English you will appreciate how hard that is lol)! I really desperately want to be a better Wiccan, to learn more about my religion, to be closer to the God and Goddess and nature, but I have no idea how. I walk to school and so I often try and think about and appreciate the nature...but I'm usually half asleep! Does anyone have any ideas?
I know that spellcraft isn't the only element of Wicca, and it is by no means the most important, so please don't suggest that I just 'do some spells'...for one I don't have the time and for another, my faith in this religion isn't quite so superficial that I can make myself believe I am being a better Wiccan by waving an athame through some incense smoke a few times a week. As Scott Cunningham once wrote in an excellent article, the ritual doesn't mean a thing if you don't mean it mentally. True Wiccanism relies on belief, not ritual. (link)
| |
It would appear that you have a very busy schedule, and yes, I am also Wiccan, and faced nearly the same problem. The trick is not to take time out of either, but just intergrate the two together. If you are doing school projects such as creative writing, speeches, and poetry, just try to research and integrate some of your religion into your schedule. It works really well, as it helps you to learn about Wicca, and also to teach the rest of your peers a little something as well.

I feel like sometimes i just wanna curl up ina ball and die. I mean I have friends but i dont really have friends. I mainly hang out with guys and im a girl and its not right at all .. I know lots of people have friends of the opposite sex but i just feel like im hated so much. Its like i see all these girls with such close friends and i dont have girls like that . I just feel like crying all the time i feel so depressed. Maybe i shuold just give up on everything. Why cant i find a friend like other girls do. I hardly ever go out on weekends and im almost 18 if i go out well its with the guys and all they wanna do is get their freak on with me. I really need someones help. I mean Im not saying im ugly w. a bad personality cause i know i do look decent i dress in my own way but its casual and I do my hair every mournin Im really nice and outgoing but im not too crazy an wild. Why dont i have friends like everyone else? (link)
|
Maybe you just aren't exposing yourself to the kinds of peopel that everyone else is. Try going to large social outings, and seeing if you can find anyone there. If not, then you should probably talk to your guy friends about it. If they laugh, then you should probably reconsider the kinds of people you hang out with. In general, just go to more social outings. Instead of staying in, go out.

Okay well every year around this time of year (December, winter time...) I ALAWYS get sick and I mean sick to my stomach. It's usually the only time of the year I get this sick. Anyway that's not really the point. I was wondering is there anything I can do right now. Lately it's just been dry heeves (sp?) I mean I've thrown up once since about 8-8:15 which was about 8:45 and that's only because I didn't care, I was really thirsty so I drank some Ginger Ale right after throwing up. But is there any thing I can eat or drink that shouldn't upset my stomach too much, and right now it's about 10 minutes to 9 and the last time I threw up was 8:45 because I drank something but technically not including the dry heeves which every once in a while left me with a little bit of regurgitation, was like 7:30. 7:45.
Yeah so just how long should I wait and what type of foods or beverages would be best to have. I'll just go with it's been about 15 minutes since I last threw up... thanks, sorry it's gross. (link)

Eat crackers, it settles your stomach so that some of the putrid feeling leaves.
