Which Degree Should I choose
Posted Monday September 12 2016, 3:19 pm
Good evening everyone,
I am an international student in the U.S., and I have been recently admitted into two master's programs which are the MA in TESOL in American University in Washington, DC, and the MA in Liberal Arts in Georgetown University. However, since I am fascinated by both programs and universities, I have not been able to decide which college I need to attend; therefore, I would like to ask you in order to help me in my dilemma. I need to mention that both programs are going to be held in Washington, DC, and they have nearly the same tuition as well as the expected time to graduate, so my concern is which degree will be beneficial for me, either personally or professionally, in the future.
The MA ...

Parents don't let me out of the house?
Posted Sunday September 11 2016, 10:27 pm
I'm a 17 year old female and my parents never let me out of the house. I'm in university now and a part of being a freshman was the frosh week, I paid my own money to go and because of my parents I only attended 3 out of the 10 days of frosh week, also the days I attended there were parties that started around 8pm and ended at 12am, of course my parents didn't let me go to any of them. My mom made it clear I had to leave campus by 6pm because it wasn't safe to stay on campus at night, yeah I know it's not safe but the parties were patrolled by police officers and to move around the campus at night there's a security program the school has that you can call to escort you to wherever you wanna go. There was another frosh event to go to the be...

My family doesn't have that much money, and I want to help out, but I'm only 13.
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 9:08 pm
Hi. I have an issue. My family doesn't have that much money, and we might loose our house in September if we don't get a mortgage. I want to help out, but I'm only 13. I can't get a job. Babysitting doesn't pay enough, same with other little jobs. I try to turn off lights and save water and don't wash a lot of clothes, but I don't think it's helping. I don't want to move away from my friends, and we'd have to give up my dog. Please, please help.

What is wrong with my sister?
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 7:28 pm
Hey I just need some advice about my sister. She's 16 and now i am becoming very concerned with her behaviour. It started when she was 13; I thought it was just her teenager attitude but its not getting any better.
First of all the school issue. She never goes to school. She always pretends to be 'sick' - EVERY single week she's got something different wrong with her. My parents were fighting the battle and grounding her every time but now they have virtually given up on that fact so if she stays home they yell at her and thats it. It happens every week. She becomes "sick" and watches Netflix all day. She's even at risk of failing Year 10.
She can't drop out because she doesnt know what she wants to d...

I Like a Guy Totally Different From Me
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 4:36 pm
19/F
So I live on campus and the floor of my dorm is mixed/co-ed. There's a boys dorm room down the hall, a triple (meaning it has three occupants)and I have a crush on one of the guys living there. For the sake of this question I'll call him Q. So Q and I have the same group of friends for the most part because our floor is all really friendly freshman and we make a point to get together for meals and games and things so we all spend a lot of time together. I first noticed I might like him when I mentioned to my friend that I like the way he speaks (Weird, I know). I feel weird about liking Q though because we're really different. He prefers horror and he's really well versed in history and science whereas I really like com...

Guy Friends Keep Crushing on Me
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 4:15 pm
19/F
When I was younger I mostly got along with an even mixture of boys and girls as friends but for some reason whenever I have a guy friend that is really close to me they always develop feelings for me eventually which makes me extremely uncomfortable. I've had four really close guy friends my whole life. I'm talking about guys I had known for years at a time and each of them eventually told me that they had feelings for me (not all at once or anything like that, they didn't know each other) and I always feel bad and uncomfortable because I have to turn them all down. Now they all still wanted to be my friend but it just became really awkward for me because after the fact I started to notice more things that they would do ...

Super Confused - Start New or Renew Old

Hello,
I have been in a relationship for 4 years and things aren't going so good and they haven't for quite sometime now. After repeating myself for the past 2 years that things need to change or I'm leaving I started giving him a bit of a cold shoulder. One night I went out with a couple of my girl friends that he knew and he knew where I was and he got really upset and after telling me that he hopes all of them "backstab" me he texted "do you bro" I took that as things are over. Couple weeks after I saw someone has been always in my life and 5 years ago we almost dated but we were still young and made a couple mistakes. well the feelings were still very present for the both of us and we kinda started ta...

Stressed About Things With My Friend
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 9:44 am
Me - 25/F
Friend - 23/M
This might make me sound very childish and immature. That reasoning is why I am posting this question online, where I can be anonymous. As you can tell, I have a very over-analytical and I over think things all the time.
I have a friend who I know from college. We became friendly while working on a group project together, and we both graduated in May.
Last semester, we were both really busy and none of the same classes together, so we very seldom had a chance to talk to each other.
The two of us were both taking over 20 credits at that point. When we saw each other, we would always make an effort to talk to each other. During the times that I saw him...

365 days Note Jar
Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 12:44 am
I have been seeing some cute pictures of people making a 365-days note jar to their loved ones and I am in dire need of some really cute suggestions I can use or take note of while trying to make one for my girlfriend whom I also intend to marry. She currently lives miles away from me and since we don't get to see each other as often as we used to, I'd love to make/write her short notes to read with different colours for different purposes/occasion. I need some cool suggestions that would make her love and miss me daily as much as I love and miss her too.
Thanks in anticipation.

I NEED HELP WITH THE GIRL I LIKE!
Posted Tuesday September 6 2016, 1:26 am
Hi, my name's Nick. I'm 15 years old (male) and I'm in love with my 14 year old friend (female). She likes to mess with me a lot, like one time she jumped on top of me to get me down on the ground to see who has the most strength and she likes to grab my stuff and make me chase her for it; and our personalities are SO SIMILAR! She was recently tipped off by a (not anymore) acquaintance of mine that I liked her and she ACTUALLY believed him! We had a long and award messages chat (I couldn't see her in person as she was on vacation) She said that it was pretty obvious to her that I liked her after which she apologized for not being able to hang out and I was reassuring her, telling her how she shouldn't AT ALL be sorry. But during our chat af...

Special Needs Classroom
Posted Monday September 5 2016, 12:19 pm
Hi there. I'm a 25 year old female and I'm a second grade teacher. To make a long story short... when I was in college, there were two tracks to becoming a teacher. One was called the "internship track" and the other was called the "developmental track." Basically, the internship provided student-teaching opportunity and you couldn't graduate unless you passed the teacher licensure exam. With the internship track, you were responsible for finding your own experience and you you didn't need the licensure to graduate (although you will need it in order to teach in the state you are living in). I live in Florida. So, if someone lived in Texas, for instance, and had to take a different exam to become employed, then it would ...

I always convince myself that my problems are fake
Posted Saturday September 3 2016, 5:08 pm
Is it normal to subconsciously convince yourself that everything negative that you feel is just made up?
I'm a recovering self-harmer and have been since December 2015. Every single time after I relapse or have a bad day, a little voice in the back of my head always says things like: 'You're just pretending to be sad for attention' or 'If you were actually ever sick, how can you be okay again after a while? See? You're just making it all up and exaggerating everything' or at least something along those lines. Does this happen to anyone else? And does anyone know why this happens?

I was home alone and had a breakdown that scared me a lot.
Posted Friday September 2 2016, 11:56 pm
I am 18/F
I have been feeling kind of off emotionally/mentally for about 5 months
In the past couple weeks it has gotten much worse. I cry nearly every day. I feel lonely a lot unless I am with my friends. I am a Christian but I don't really know if I am anymore.... like I believe but I don't act on my belief. I always want to be alone in my room when at home but then get unbearably lonely.
Yesterday, I was home alone and had a breakdown that scared me a lot. I was working on packing because I am going to university, but I really didn't feel like packing. My room was a disaster so I went to sit in the living room with my laptop. While sitting there, I got this sudden wave of negative emotions. I ...

Dependant on laxatives and have an ED
Posted Friday September 2 2016, 11:37 pm
For about the past 3 years I've been using laxatives every single day and have had issues with eating, at first I just didn't like the feeling I'd get when I'd eat to much, so I'd take laxatives, but this past year my disorder got much worse, and I got down to a very low weight. My parents have found out and I'm staying at home to try to 'refeed' and get off laxatives, and I'm seeing my doctor regularly. I haven't been gaining any weight, because I just can't feed myself that much, and have still been taking laxatives, they are just impossible to quit, I had no idea how hard this is, and even when I do stop taking them for a few days, I still haven't been able to 'go' on my own, and I keep my diet insanely strict with the foods I eat, I eve...

Sudden bursts of suicidal depression around the time of menstruation
Posted Friday September 2 2016, 5:02 pm
I know that mood swings are just a part of periods and all that and I just kinda wanted to get a second opinion and check that it was normal. My periods are quite irregular and a day or two before I start it, I get really severe bouts of depression which leads to suicidal thoughts and self harm 99% of the time.
Is this a normal thing or should I be concerned?
