I'm a boring and a-social person, just because I try to keep myself away of failures. Being a loner, I'm also... reflexive. Which at least makes one darn good "listener" out of me. My only passions are computers, music (mostly metal) and animals (mostly cats). Feel free to ask me anything - if I can come up with something constructive, I'll let you know.

the bottom bar on my computer with the start menu is gone. i tryed to see if i could drag it up from the bottom of the screen, but its not there. how can i get it back?

I suppose you're using Windows. If so, you probably enabled status bar auto-hiding and you should be able to have it back by pointing with the mouse cursor to the bottom of your screen. Then the status bar should 'pop up' and normally you'd just need to right click on it and select Properties from the contextual menu (if I'm not mistaken) and de-check (un-select) the box stating something like "Enable auto-hide".

i want to download a photo shop onto my apple computer, its a new version, what would be the safest choice for a downloadable photo shop? (link)

Err... I don't understand what you mean by "the safest choice of downloadable Photoshop". Of course the only safe/fair choice would be to go to the Adobe website and download a trial version of Photoshop (if they have any). There are other means of less-legal-achieving some software but I don't think this site's policy agrees with such information...

I'm not going to say that what you did is wise or OK, but it's something that apparently most kids do. (I myself used to skip an entire day from home and travel by train to another city, waaay back, when I was 17, but I soon realized I was acting immature and stopped doing it).
So, the problem is: what determines you to do this and what can you do to behave normally and get "ungrounded", as you said. As far I can see it, if you sneak out of the house at night and go to a friend, it's either because you care about your friend so much, either because you're, well, sort of a "nightcrawler". In the first case, I guess it would be alright if you just saw your friend(s) at normal hours, it's not that hard. On the other hand, if you're a "nightcrawler", don't think you're the only one ;) I'm also a person who stays up late at night and I find it really constructive to learn new computer stuff (for instance) until, say, 4am. It's really rewarding and it's much wiser than to "sneak out" to a friend's house. So it's simple: see your friends during the day and learn/study for yourself at night (or write, or listen to music, or draw, or read, whatever makes you feel good).
Now, about the "ungrounding" part... As I see it, if you do anything extreme some time soon you're certainly *not* going to fix anything. I know you feel like crawling on the walls and dying to get out of the house, but don't do anything stupid because it's *not* gonna help. Instead, I would act like a responsible kid, if I were you, go on with my school and stuff, and talk to my parents very calmly. I'd explain them that although I did some things which I probably shouldn't have done, I now got the chance to reflect a bit about my situation; however, "grounding" is not a viable solution, since, you know, it's like a stupid restriction that by definition is made up just to be bypassed. Such restrictions are never constructive. I'd explain my parents that I need some basical freedoms, like seeing my friends after school and going out to watch a movie (at a normal hour though...), and that, if they can cope with that, you'll behave like a normal kid.
This, of course, implies that you actually *did* reflect about those things and that you actually *do* feel like that ;) I hope this helped (and, anyhow, try to talk to them but as calm and logical and mature as you can be, ok?)

Hi. I don't want you to hate me for this, but... It seems your girlfriend had some things going on and this is why she left you. Take her word, it really wasn't your fault. Seems like she had some problems, I don't know. And also try to calm down a little, because angriness can't do you any good or help you in any way. If things between you and your girlfriend will settle out, it's OK, and if not... It's a little bit more tricky. Don't take my answer as a general, universal rule, because it's not, but it's something that "emerged" out of my past (and failed) experiences: I lived with a guy for 2 years, but the last year was a horrible sh*t, an immense burden caused by the fact that, despite everything going wrong, neither of us had the guts to "dump" the other one. My point is: when a relationship is getting "loose", it's often not wise to try to hang on with any possible means, since it will - in most cases - lead to a nasty end. Just my 2 cents :)
Anyway, calm down - it's *not* your fault - and you'll see, as the other poster said, that everything will just settle down by itself with time. You need a little time for each "hop" in your life, but... eventually you'll get past it. So try to cheer up! :)
