Reason y im asking: Met the perfect guy at a party on fri. I went and tlked to him, he asked to dance, we talked all night. He texted me sat night (around 10). I didn't have texting in my plan (just got it 2 days ago). I didn't want to text back, or call, idk, thought i'd wait and my friends thought it would be a good idea. I was up late till 4am hanging out w/ friends, woke up @ noon. called him sun and didnt get him. i added him on face book, he wrote me, i wrote back. i think i wrote something lame. he didn't call that night (but of course we talked that day). monday night i txted him to ask what he was up to, he txted back and asked the same. after i texted he didnt reply. tues and now wed-no call. will he call thurs to make plans? he knows im interested, i asked for his # and he took mine. he aked if i had a bf and txted me the next night so- he likes me.but will he give up or something and think its not worth it? idk... what to do? am i overreacting?[btw im a freshman in college]
Is texting the same as calling when it comes to the 3 day rule?
No. A text message is extremely passive-agressive; a one-way conversation used to avoid the embarassment of rejection.
Dude has no guts.
Reply:I dont think so. But you'd want to call b4 you text.
Reply:i am a freshman in college also..i hateee games but unfortunately this is what we have to deal with..i think he is def. interested and its not a bad idea to call/text him obv. dont call him more than once or text him more than once when he doesnt answer...just be yourself and dont worry so much i guess..that is some mistakes i have made is i just worry too much..be yourself as cliche as it sounds and just go with it...and it will help
Reply:Sounds like hes an idiot. Just let him go. Guys suck, and dont give it up anymore if you did. He took you, tricked you, and will show up when he is good and ready to take from you again. So let it and him go, and if your smart...RUN in the other direction. Its not worth it. Keep getting your education in order so you will never have to *depend on anyone. Women have died for you to have the right to go to college. So do well sweety. Take Care.-Rachel.
Reply:This is what makes relationships so complicated!! RULES!!
Forget the rules and just use common sense. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
I do think texting is less intrusive than a phone call. He can text in class or other situations where he might not be able to answer the phone. A simple message saying hello and hope things are well with you is enough to let him know you are interested..
Don't chase this guy, that will get you nowhere. If you don't get a response, or he doesn't contact you, just chalk it up to a fun night with a cool person. There are plenty more men out there, and he might not be the one for you.
Reply:Wait...He might not be interested don't be over aggressive. He knows your around don't force anything.
Reply:Yeah, I think any contact counts in the 3 day rule.
Reply:Forget the rules. Do what you feel.

Always use the three-day rule. When you've reached the third day of no contact, then call and make the first move!
Reply:dude... what is up with TEXTING?? why don't ya'll just talk to each other?!?! It really is hard to distinguish what this guy really wants from you... through a text message... my idea, is CALL HIM!

Reply:This may b 2 obvious but u should ask him and if does really like u,like u say then go 4 it.It's ur decision.Oh yeah don't 4get 2 have him tested 1st.
Good luck!

If he likes you no he will not give up on you. I think if you like him just call him and ask him out. Don't listen to your friends or to the 'rules' that someone tells you.You like him call him and ask him out. I do think that you are over reacting. You probably didn't write anything lame to him on facebook, he doesn't think your texts are too frequent or boring, and he is not avoiding you so get the courage and ask him out.

I would send him a text and ask, when are you going to take me out? It should be taken as a playful text from you. Hopefully that will prompt him to make a move!

Girls answer????
girls would u find it awkward if a guy u talked to only once sent u a message from face book or myspace and dropped by to say hi and ask how ur doin and all cuz i talked to this girl in college last semester on the last day and really wanted to get to know her better but like i said it was the last day but it seemed like we got real comfortable with each other so would it be ok if so what can i say best answer 10 points no rude comments please thanks
Girls answer????
I wouldn't find it weird if I had met you once before. Sending a message isn't weird, it's what you chose to include in the message.
Just say hello, remember me? We met at ___________. How have you been? Are you still at so and so college?
Keep it simple. Don't ask her out, don't ask for her number, don't give her yours. It's too soon. Don't do that until after a few exchanges.
Reply:did she give you her myspace info for you to do that? if she gave it to you then she shouldn't feel awkward. what to say? something not to personal, maybe funny. something to break the ice. now if you had to search for her that's something different. but maybe you can let her know you was just checking seeing how ever thing was with her. kinda hard cuz i dont know the girl and every ones different. some laid back others are scared of everything, reading anything into something innocent. go with your gut. what type person did she portray in school?
Reply:i say you give i a shot! if you don't try at all, you will be wondering: what would have happened if...? so, better feel sorry for sth you had the courage to do instead of feeling sorry for not trying at all! got something to lose?....
Reply:i wouldn't think girls would find it awkward...
if she was an open minded person and cheerful i think she would think it was nice of you to bother and remember her and say and all that ..
its refreshing and makes a girl feel good to... and rises her self as teem to the top.
oh and btw if your looking for a relationship with her you better start really slow ... Extremely slow.. ^^ good luck

What the f is she pist about?
met this girl through friends, had a good time, nothing physical, she added me on face book 2 days later, i said whats up, she responds like a week later sayin nothing just class (college). then i forget to message back, and 3 weeks later i messaged her asking, who are you again. she responds immidiatly sayin , wow someone was drunk off there ***... adios. whats this mean? why so rude?
What the f is she pist about?
Oh come on. are u clueless?! she added u 2 days later and then u forget who she is and tell her that?? she was eager AND u left it 3weeks. she was rude because clearly she had been waiting for u to respond. I'd say that you should learn this now if u want to date women for the rest of your life. don't leave them waiting because during that time our thoughts are not rational like you're Internet broke or something its more along the exaggerated lines of you having wild drunken orgies every night (without her)!! o.k i reallllllllly exaggerated but basically, women are more of a conscious sex as in you most like cropped up in her head more than once in those 3 wks. The real question is why are you even thinking about her? cold it be that u like her but you're a bit slow ( meant in the nicest possible way) if so tell her the truth. so in conclusion she was pissed because she had to spend 3wks of inner turmoil about someone who can't even remember who she is. she has every right to be annoyed!
Reply:Is there German race heartless?? i've never heard of that but dont sell yourself short! because now u know, you'll never forget! Report It
Reply:That was pretty rude of you to forget who she was. She is mad that you forgot her and may have even liked you. Pretty much it was her way of saying "go f yourself" as in "bye bye". If you want to patch things up I would suggest apologizing for the lapse in memory.
Reply:Are you serious?? "3 weeks later i messaged her asking, who are you again". That last sentence is your problem. You seem to be somewhat self absorbed to treat someone like that rather you honestly didn't know who she was or not.
Reply:wow, you are rude. you forgot who she was.....
congratulations on being the dumbest man.

Referring to my Q bout a crush i like?
Ok Heres the deal. If you like someone, call them. Even if you dont think they like you, you must call so you, yourself know. I liked this girl, called her out of the blue and planted the seed, then call her again, and again until I asked her out, guess what she said, she said yes. When it comes to someone you like you must do whatever it takes, and dont hold back the way you fell. Let them know how you feel about them by calling them. Good luck.

Its not serious, Its just girl trouble, im a male, heeellp!?
Ok i briefly worked with a women who i was attracted to( i never admit it anytime for any woman) and we got chatting on face book, we have both left our work and im getting a new job and shes at uni. Now i thought we were just going to be geeky internet friends talking about life and hobbits BUT shes been complimenting me and she jsut asked if i wanna go for a "celebrate being single" drink. OH GOD! everytime i show an interest in a girl i always @£%%26amp; it up! or she ends up getting a a runt of a rebound man and screwing her life up in a way, e.g one of my ex'es dropped out of college because when i didnt like her (i know its bad i should think before i put my chips down) but she met a friend throgh me and had sex with him and i recon she dropped out of college because i was the link, the idiot.
Or ill just be me and all weird and shell say in two weeks "yeah this aint w orking out" = Me crying and getting depressed. GODDDD you wouldnt think she ONLY invited me for a drink. please
Its not serious, Its just girl trouble, im a male, heeellp!?
1. dont assume she likes you anymore than just a friend
2. dont express your true feelings to her especially on first date
3. remember #1
4. dont bring up stuff about her bad luck with guys
5. remember #1
6. be relaxed, nervousness will make her nervous and kill all chances with her
7. remember #1
8. when you two do sit down for a drink and chat, talk about stuff other than work, school, family, church...all guys shat about that and it is boring! talk about stuff women take an interest in: men fashion, celebrities, animals, gossip.
9. remember #1
10. dress appropriately, shave, cologne, clipped nails, trimmed nose hairs, polished shoes, etc...women will measure your qualities partially on how you take care of your appearance.
Reply:Theres no point not being yourself, she won't appreciate it.
Reply:get a grip!!
look for a girl and sort urself out and if you think it just isn't working for you,well there's only one other option......
you'll never know! until you've tried it.
Reply:Just go for it or you will be single forever. You can talk about 'hobbits' face to face over a nice drink and a meal ; - )
You are not to blame for what a woman does after meeting you or splitting with you.
Reply:Ok well I am a woman so maybe this will help. If I asked a guy out for a drink then that means I am interested in him and want to get to know him a little bit better. She probably asked you out as the first move hoping you'll make the second. Be yourself hun! You don't want to base a relationship on complete fakeness. That defeats the whole purpose of being happy. Just go for it!

PLEASE HELP NEED advice!!! (PLEASE!!!)?
so i met my new room mate for next year for college my current room mate is going to commute and my friend introduced me to this girl who was starting in the fall next year and thought the two of us would connect well...i met her once... I'm not to sure WHAT to think at the moment.....
she seems very nice. She "claims" she does not drink, smoke, party or anything of that type. She says she's a virgin and never done anything MORE then make-out.
(she's a JUNIOR in college)
she was very friendly towards me but seemed VERY guy crazy. She has this site called "face book" and every time I'm on the internet she sends me pictures of different guys she wants to meet and guys she thinks are cute from my school. She called up my one guy friend got his number FROM THE INTERNET she has NEVER EVER met him let alone spoke to him and said she thinks he's really hot from a photo she saw of him.
PLEASE HELP NEED advice!!! (PLEASE!!!)?
I think your gut feeling is trying to send you some signals that you are not comfortable. Follow your heart. From what I feel, I don't think you'll have a good time being a roommate with her. Why should you go through something that don't make you happy when life is so short? If there's chance if you could make another choice, do it ... if you can't change it, I guess you've to learn to live with it? Or have a talk with her on how to work things out. You are in control, don't worry. Everything has solution or if not, time to let go and move on.

Tough question because I kinda agree with either side of what an answer to this question could be. You might want to room with her first because you don't know her that well and your assuming that she will be sleeping around. However, I can see why you would just wanna aviod all the drama before it happens. Ths desicion will probably not affect the rest of your life and you can easily go either way

Jesus Christ what tedium it must be to be, like such a totally cool teen. Like, reading and getting an education is soooooo back in the day, ya know?
I hope you and the apprentice sl*t you're rooming with enjoy working at McDonald's because that's where you're both headed. And I could give a sh*t whether you like this answer or not.
Reply:Hi Dear,
I understood that ur friend has a craze of guys and getting laid. Yes, it is very common for a lusty woman that even a male monkey looks hot for her. But all the weman once they realise that they have responsibility (After marrage) they think of society and bondages and the same woman can become a good family woman.
However, straigt to your point, there is no room to think more about this, any way you are not planning to marry her, only the thing is that if you want to get laid take her to a place where both of you can enjoy (Play safe). If you want to take to your appartment organise it secretly and don't let any one else know this. Simple, go a head all the best. Or if you can control your emotions forget about her and concentrate in studies, if you engange her in chatting your mind will be attached. Decide if u wann be attached or detached but don't neglect ur studies and career this should be a parallel track.
she seems very nice. She "claims" she does not drink, smoke, party or anything of that type. She says she's a virgin and never done anything MORE then make-out.

Jesus Christ what tedium it must be to be, like such a totally cool teen. Like, reading and getting an education is soooooo back in the day, ya know?
I hope you and the apprentice sl*t you're rooming with enjoy working at McDonald's because that's where you're both headed. And I could give a sh*t whether you like this answer or not.
Reply:Hi Dear,
I understood that ur friend has a craze of guys and getting laid. Yes, it is very common for a lusty woman that even a male monkey looks hot for her. But all the weman once they realise that they have responsibility (After marrage) they think of society and bondages and the same woman can become a good family woman.
However, straigt to your point, there is no room to think more about this, any way you are not planning to marry her, only the thing is that if you want to get laid take her to a place where both of you can enjoy (Play safe). If you want to take to your appartment organise it secretly and don't let any one else know this. Simple, go a head all the best. Or if you can control your emotions forget about her and concentrate in studies, if you engange her in chatting your mind will be attached. Decide if u wann be attached or detached but don't neglect ur studies and career this should be a parallel track.
Help with a response to gay basher / hacked facebook profile.... read to understand?
alright, my friends face-book profile was hacked, and everything in it was changed to a homophobic reference (college major: changed from 'engineering' to 'cock-sucking', fav. music: changed from 'Metallica and AC/DC' to 'Clay Aiken and N'sync'... etc...) and blunt reference's were thrown all over (they created an event "I'm finnally coming out", changed his profile picture to an all male orgy, etc...)
I am trying to think of the best response to the hacker to post on my friends wall (my friend isn't gay, but i am).... i want to call him out for having no life, being immatture, and being overly homophobic and having to resort to gay-bashings to feel good about himself
what should i say?

Feeling different from my peers?
I'm currently 18 and I'm college but I feel abnormal compared to everyone else. I just feel so different and the majority of people around me just seem like a bunch of ignorant, face-book addicts (I use facebook but I'm not obsessed with it)
Has anyone ever felt like different or something like an outcast in college? I even feel way different compared to my brothers. Please share your experiences as I'm facing a time of confusion and great hardship.
Feeling different from my peers?
Well,You should be happy that you're different form everyone else.In a world where there are just carbon copies, to be an individual is a great thing. I remember reading from a book that outsiders' have a better understanding of how the world works because they are have a better view of it..So,don't fret too much..I am different from my friends and instead being concerned about it, I'm proud of it.When they look at me funny,I just say that they are jealous that they don't have half the personality that I have, that they're just boring people without any original thought, and just mindless clones of each other...
Reply:Part of the problem, whether you wish to address it or not, is that you call all your peers ignorant. I am sure that you are making yourself further removed from them by calling them names and implying they are unintelligent and snobby. Additionally, I am nearly 100% positive that everyone at that college is not on Facebook (whatever that may be) and that there are those out there who are much like you, if you chose to find them.
Look places that you hang out (coffee pubs, the library, join a campus club that sounds interesting, take a walk, talk to people in your classes). There are all types of people at school and I am sure that there are many who are feeling just as displaced as you are. College is a time of great adjustment and being different is pretty much what everyone there is 'worried' about. Find what you like and do it, talk to those who enjoy it too, and I am sure you will find that you are not so 'different'. And your brothers, they just managed to find their 'people' a little earlier in the process, it can be helped if they had a interest that was obvious going in (sports, academics), or if they were more social in personality. Everyone is their own person. Keep at it, it is only October!

Besides the DMV, college campus, VA and county jail booking, where in SF Bay Area can one get a picture ID?
Yes, a real document with both a person's photographic face and name on it? (Passports, military ID's and employment badges don't count here either.)
Besides the DMV, college campus, VA and county jail booking, where in SF Bay Area can one get a picture ID?
There are private clubs that offer ID cards. Street vendors have ID cards. Many corporations use ID cards for their employees. Medical marijuana ID cards are not yet available in Alameda county, but they're on the way.
If you mean ones available to the general public, rather than members of some organization or group, that's more difficult. I'm assuming you're not looking for official, legally-recognized ID cards because you don't want the DMV or passport services. (I suppose a bank card with a photo doesn't count?)
Many print shops %26amp; copy centers offer laminated custom ID cards; some are serious, and some are "joke cards" like fake pilot licences, "girl-hunting license," various minister %26amp; other clergy cards. If the card looks serious, some people accept it for identification purposes.
CHECK CASHING PLACES--many of these offer their own ID cards for about $10.

Work or school?
I have been working since i was 15, but i was on face book and saw that all of my former friends are in college, almost done. I feel like im really missing out. i know i have to work to survive, but at the same time i feel like if i go to school i wont have to struggle for ever. My heart isnt in school though, realistically i'll be working till im dead. But i really want to be succuessful in life. Im 21 is it to late to get in a four year and start life as it should be for a young man my age. PEOPLE I NEED ADVISE!
Work or school?
u could do both if u can handle it or go to a tech school of some sort. stick with both ur dreams and u will survive
Reply:it mgiht be to late for a university but there is always community college people twice ur age start going to college at that age to better there life theres hoope for u , u can go to community college and work at the same time and u can choose what u want to study
Reply:It is NEVER to late to go to school and learn something. My mother is now 91, she owned a successful business and in the years after the war learned to work in a typical male dominated field in electronics and circuitry.

I have a college degree and went back at 51 and got a masters and an school administrators license.
Start small - with a class at a nearby community college. Maybe a speech class, then a basic english class - as you figure out a way to juggle school and work you can take more. You are 21 now - in four years you will only be 25 the choice is yours if you will be a 25 year old with some college or a 25 year old with nothing.
Reply:Hi,
I'm new to this, just joined about five minutes ago.
I can understand where your coming from, even though I did my leaving cert and passed, I never did go on to college and most of my classmates did, it was a very lonely time but then I was working at a young age and I had a good time when I started to work and enjoy getting paid that going to college didn't bother me.
There is the option of doing a course through the college and you don't need to have your leaving cert and then you can progress from there to a third level qualification. Open university may be another option for you and you can still work.
If you really want to do this there are options out there and best of luck with this, it is your future here.

Reply:Is never too late to go to school. I f you set your mind to it I know you can do it. Plus, now there's credit by exam and believe me if you study before the exam you can get the credit and not have to take the course, you will have a great advantage there. Depending on what college you want to go to, they might also exempt you from some classes depending on your SAT and/or ACT scores. My advise is to go back, you'll have a better job and you won't regret it, EVER! also, who said you couldn't work and study at the same time?, if you apply for scholarships and get them to pay for most of your college tuition, then that means that whatever money you get is completely yours. Plus some schools have work study programs where, they work around your class schedule. That's a definate plus!!!

I'm terrible at Mathematics beyond basic algebra, what resources or books can I read to face my shortcomings?
Mathmatics past the basic algebra stage, scares me to death. I get nervous registering for math classes. I am proficent in History, the Sciences, Lit and Comp, but I fall short in math. I test below college level(ahh!), and have trouble in the classes that should help catch me up. What does anyone recommend (besides tutoring) so I can try to teach myself, and regain my confidence? Any books or guides that have helped you or someone you know?
I'm terrible at Mathematics beyond basic algebra, what resources or books can I read to face my shortcomings?
EPGY is a Stanford program that offers computer courses on mathematics with a professor as a correspondent if you need help. It's a program I have used many times. Lectures are given with audio and written down on the computer screen by the tutor, and you can rewind whenever you want. It is rather expensive though.
That's all I can give credible information on, I remember I had a book that was something like a math encyclopedia, but I can't remember the name of it now. Besides that, I know you said no tutoring, but if you find the right tutor (someone your age) it can help you immensly.
Reply:Hmmm I do not know what you can do for long term help, but for short term help, you can look up math terms on www.wikipedia.org

Foreign first love manipulated me, I dumped him, and now I have to work with him, help please!=(?
Please help me as I am very confused. I transfered into my school in January 07 and one of my RA took an interest in me. He was from Kenya and was very cute and popular. I had never actually dated a guy since I was always moving as a teenager. Essentially he made me feel like he was a great catch and was a good person. Two months into the relationship I began to realize that something was not right with him. He barely called me for example when I went to visit my parents in Italy and when I went on his Face book he was talking to some girl at another college. When I got back to the states I found out he was talking to another girl, and almost kissed her. He cried and pleaded with me to stay with him and told me a sob story about how he was insecure about himself and thats why he did it. I knew he wore a wig and stuffed his shoes to appear taller so I forgave him out of pity. Two months later he does the same thing again. He gives me same excuse and like a moron i forgive him.

Lose him! You have given him 1 chance %26amp; that is MORE than enough.
Reply:1) He's not good enough for you. Dump him and forget about him.
2) Report him for taking advantage of his position. I'm sure there are rules about that.
Reply:move on. he'll do it again. u deserve better then a guy u cant trust. he does it once... ok maybe but twice.... yea something is wrong. dont wait for a third.
Reply:If he gives you any trouble, report him. He can not harass you at work and get by with it. It is always best to avoid dating people you work with. Too much drama!!

I had the chance a number of years ago to be with a person that stirred my heart and I passed. Believe me, if you have feelings such as you describe, you WILL regret it if you do not find out if something could come of this.
So I strongly concur with the two above that you should go for it.

Am trying to make up for my college learning mistakes? is this bad?
ok. I graduated in Computer Science which was very tough!
I just ran out of energy in my senior year, and did not study or put effort. I got a lot of Ds that year.
however, now that I want to apply for jobs... most do ask some knowledge in things that I'm not confident in. So I've been trying to actually learn what I didn't learn while I was in college.
But I have this thing, I'm very perfectionist. And have been spending days reading books. (BUt realistically, those books are just way too big to finish them even in a year and be ready to apply for a job)
my questions are:
1) What I'm doing, is it wrong? maybe I just feel guilty for that last year and trying to make it up.
2) Maybe I only need to start working in my field, and get experience and forget about those books? Maybe they are not even useful, and I'm just afraid to face the world? and trying to hide in them?
I don't know. please help. What would you advice me?
Am trying to make up for my college learning mistakes? is this bad?
woah! guy, clam down, take a deep breath!
do both at the same time. besides the books cant be that long read on free time and work during work time. knolege will come with expirience. ask someone like your new employer if those books are useful. even if it takes you years to finish them youll get through it but you should start a job while conquering your task.
Reply:Don't say that you're a prefectionist. You're not otherwise you wouldn't have gotten those Ds. They're going to ask you why you messed up in the last year of college. Plus it's an answer that shows your TRUE weakness--you're desperate. Focus on yourself and look at your REAL weaknesses. Procrastination? Lack of motivation? What? Employers know when you're just BSing them.
You NEED experience first and foremost. Don't keep trying to explain your past--it's happened. You've graduated. You have a degree now use it.
When employers ask about your weakness, say just that--sometimes you lose motivation. BUT because of this weakness you have slowly overcome it by focusing on the future not the past. As a result you are more goal-orientated now than ever before.
The best thing you can do right now for yourself is to get out there and get a job. Even if it's not in your field, it will get you there. Look anywhere--you need to show that you can make it in the real world. College is tough, but the real world is a slap in the face.
I have a degree in communications and here a year later I still don't have a job. Hopefully I get one tomorrow, but we'll see.
Reply:I would make a list of skills you feel confident in as of now and see if you can find a job that will allow you to use them
2.start doing consulting work
3.get a job with a small company less likely to look at your school record.
4.be the most energetic positive guy in an interview setting.
5.think of getting some certifications or taking relevant coursework online.
6. put together a functional resume
Reply:They'll look at your marks for the topics you did and the second they see someone with better marks then they'll choose them over you.
Reply:You're the only one who can answer those questions, and it sounds like you did.
It doesn't hurt to improve yourself, but don't become obsessive to the point where other areas of your life are suffering.

1) What I'm doing, is it wrong? maybe I just feel guilty for that last year and trying to make it up.
2) Maybe I only need to start working in my field, and get experience and forget about those books? Maybe they are not even useful, and I'm just afraid to face the world? and trying to hide in them?
I don't know. please help. What would you advice me?
Am trying to make up for my college learning mistakes? is this bad?
woah! guy, clam down, take a deep breath!
do both at the same time. besides the books cant be that long read on free time and work during work time. knolege will come with expirience. ask someone like your new employer if those books are useful. even if it takes you years to finish them youll get through it but you should start a job while conquering your task.
Reply:Don't say that you're a prefectionist. You're not otherwise you wouldn't have gotten those Ds. They're going to ask you why you messed up in the last year of college. Plus it's an answer that shows your TRUE weakness--you're desperate. Focus on yourself and look at your REAL weaknesses. Procrastination? Lack of motivation? What? Employers know when you're just BSing them.
You NEED experience first and foremost. Don't keep trying to explain your past--it's happened. You've graduated. You have a degree now use it.
When employers ask about your weakness, say just that--sometimes you lose motivation. BUT because of this weakness you have slowly overcome it by focusing on the future not the past. As a result you are more goal-orientated now than ever before.
The best thing you can do right now for yourself is to get out there and get a job. Even if it's not in your field, it will get you there. Look anywhere--you need to show that you can make it in the real world. College is tough, but the real world is a slap in the face.
I have a degree in communications and here a year later I still don't have a job. Hopefully I get one tomorrow, but we'll see.
Reply:I would make a list of skills you feel confident in as of now and see if you can find a job that will allow you to use them
2.start doing consulting work
3.get a job with a small company less likely to look at your school record.
4.be the most energetic positive guy in an interview setting.
5.think of getting some certifications or taking relevant coursework online.
6. put together a functional resume
Reply:They'll look at your marks for the topics you did and the second they see someone with better marks then they'll choose them over you.
Reply:You're the only one who can answer those questions, and it sounds like you did.
It doesn't hurt to improve yourself, but don't become obsessive to the point where other areas of your life are suffering.

Cool off. If you don't want to keep working there, quit. If you do, you should talk to your manager and see what can be done.

Hey, relax, if this person had the time to write some stupid rant about you she obviously is thinking and talking about you. Maybe she's jealous or something, but whatever it is, it's her problem and she needs to get over that. Plus I HATE it when people misuse the word "retarded" so I'm on your side. Ignore her and try to get through this. In the end you'll just look like the better and more mature person for taking the high road.

Why does it take so long to read college textbooks?
i am reading my textbook for anatomy and physiology and omg it is oh so boring! a lot of it is....you can't read it like a regular book....( I don't really read) so i guess that also contributes.....as to why it is taking so long....all i know is that people don't really read college textbooks and rely on notes in class...from the teacher bec. there lazy and face it is much harder to understand a textbook than an instructor but for a classes like anatomy and physiology you can't do that! you really have to read and attend class to do pretty well in this class
i don't want to read the pages over and over so i try to absorb it one time..but since some stuff are getting really tedious....i am skimming through it....( i should of started reading earlier!)
Why does it take so long to read college textbooks?
I can relate. But I did devise a plan that worked for me through college, but may not work for everyone because it is a bit time consuming.
I would set up shop with my laptop and my book and type up an outline of all of the highlighted/bold heading in the section I was reading. Then I would start from the beginning and scan over the first section and type the main idea and any definitions I did not know.
This was useful because you don't have to read everything in detail, but you are essentially reading the main idea(s) once, then reading it again as you type it. This is useful for reference throughout the term and is extremely helpful when midterms and finals come along. This process actually got me through a Colonial Latin American history class --- that was amazing!
Check out http://www.millennialmentors.com/blog for more helpful hints for Millennials---people of our generation (Gen Y) who are trying to get through their education as efficiently as possible!
Good luck!
Reply:Ugh, I TOTALLY know what you mean. I used them to help make outlines for study guides. The chapters are usually divided into sections, and come test time, I would skim the text for main points to include on the outline.
Some people DO read all the way through, and I was never one of those people. It would put me to sleep. Some books, I never even OPENED. But yes, I did buy them all.
--- yeah, its easier to get away with not reading the full text in phil and hist, but when I took palynology, biological anthro, linguistic ethnography, and most of my science classes, I had to dig into the text big time. But still I never read it straight through.
Reply:I am taking 3 online classes, all of which I am responsible for reading. I have philosophy, english lit and history. It is actually hard to read and be able to interpret the material with the questions being asked.
College is hard; it is preparing you for the future and making sure you are very prepared. My best advice, since I have 2 a.m. classes, 3 online, volunteering 2 hours a week, working 8 hours a week and have 2 kids is to really try to balance your time.
Make sure you have your priorities right. Do the reading first that way it is done; ask your professor questions you have. I know my college has a tutoring center that is free to all students, look into that as well if the material is starting to blur in your head!
Just be careful not to read solid for hours and hours or it will just confuse you more!
I'm not trying to compare who's class is more competitive, try taking those 2 with Calculus 2 and Discrete math. And MY philosophy class is ONLINE so if I don't read how am I supposed to answer "Do you agree with Thomson that abortion is morally defensible weven if the fetus is a person? In her analogies does she take the presumption of the personhood of the fetus as seriously as she does the personhood of the mother? Support you answers with examples!
No wonder you're having such a hard time! People give you advice as to HELP your situation and all you do is try to act like you're better than them! I guess that explains why you have to post something that is WHINING and complaining. College is hard, involves reading, grow up! Take 3 online classes with some balls, along with 2 hard math classes and then come whining to me about not being able to get through your reading

Just Another Pretty Face?
I like this boy, who is very smart and goes to a very good college. I think of myself as very smart. I do get a 4.0, but grades aren't everyhting.
For the past few months, after reading a book about a very sweet girl, I decided that I wanted to be like that sweet girl. So I refused to listen to negative insults, and I always chose to see the best in people and never second-guessed what anyone said. I even use a slightly high-pitched, girly little voice. I thought that it was all about being sweet.
But for this boy, it isn't. He thinks I am 'just a pretty face', with no real season of humor or depth. Since I am not sarcastic or see life in an ironic way, like the me-before-girly me might have, this boy doesn't find my sweet face and caring qualites likeable.
The thing is, he might really like me if I went back to being the real me, instead of the on-the-inside-fake and overly cheery me. But the thing is, the real me is miserable 25% of the time, and cheery-fake me ISN'T. Help?
Just Another Pretty Face?
heres an idea, be yourself and not a character in a book. now, on the plus side for you to create a character and become that character makes me think you have the most important aspect in being a great actress. have you thought about it. Screw that guy, think of bigger things. if your pretty, u could have a shot. Kim basingers friends say they cant even be around her when she is filming movies, cuz she lives as that character, like u did.

If any of the mom’s out there that could help me I would really appreciate it! I want to be a nurse and then I am going to stay a 5th year to get my master. Okay so I have a very wealthy family, but in the inside things could not be worse! My mom and dad never have gotten along. My dad has told me things like my mom is obsessed with money and big d*** !! and my mom has put me in the middle of every fight. She basically would tell him things I never said, just to hurt him. My father has threaded to beat the **** out of me. He has told me a million other things that were very hurtful. My senior year my mother went throught another divorce with her current husband( not my dad). This man has kicked me out of the house, called me every name in the book, talked **** about my brother and my father to me.My mom never stood up for me. They put me in the middle of their fights. I caught my mom talking to another man behind his back. I have made so many mistakes because she has never been there. God I wish I could just tell ya’ll everything, but to much to tell!!! I dated this horrible guy for a very long time. I finally left him, and I left all my “bad” friends in my past. Let me say I do not drink or use drugs. I was on the dance team, and made average grades. I have had a job and been working scene I was 15 years old. I quit school to get away from my mom. She threw my ex bf in my face, brought me in her ****, used me, and I had to get away. Let me add that before I left she went out and bought us new trucks ( but I had to make the payment) so I live on my own now paying 476 a months plus my rent and other bills on my own!!! Her and I are still on talkin terms because she said she was going to pay my college. I have to go to community college at first, because I only do have my GED. She wants me to go to Columbia State ( because it is near here) and I want to go to southwestern community college. I t has housing and then I want to transfer to ole miss ( after two years) now I know this is going to be a lot of money!!! But a education means the world to me =) now when I told my mom this she flew off the handle and was telling me that wasn’t realistic and I would just hate it down there, and that I can’t do it..

I done with crying on holidays because of them!! Please help me =(
Question about getting into community college, and how to deal with my parents?
well.....this is what i think you should do. The number one thing is live for yourself. Don't worry about their drama, it will only bring you down. You can try all you want to get along with them, but don't live for them, family or NOT. Thats number one. Number two, you sound smart and you sound determined. You pay alot now for your car and rent and eeeverything else that comes along with LIVING day by day..you obviously know how to survive on your own. Call the college...and ask them EXACTLY how to go about getting in there. They will tell you everything you need to know. They will give you the names and phone numbers of the people you need to talk to. They will tell you what you need to do, what you need to fill out etc. etc. etc....ask as maaany questions as you want....have a pen and paper with you and DO NOT get off of the phone until you have ALL of your questions answered. Then go from there. College info. offices are usually very nice and very helpful. You can do this, with or without your mom or her problems. DO YOU!!! and let her take the truck away, but a cheap *** car..to get from here to there. You can get a hoopdie for a thousand....cheaper on gas and you'll save almost 500 a month....whatever you decide, forget about their trouble and call the school..TOMMORROW!!! they will tell you everything you need to know.....good luck!!!!!
Reply:That is a tough history to have to live with, but I definitely think you have what it takes to survive!
As you say, you do not have to live for your mother. Keep a positive attitude and keep watching out for yourself. You can make a comfortable life for yourself and in a few years you will find a place that will make you happy.
I do think you would be happier if you could get further away from home. One thing is, that you do not have to feel compelled to go to college right away. You can take a year off and go to school next year or the year after. In the old days everyone went to college right away after HS, but these days lots of people are working first and then going to school when they are a few years older. You can do that. You dont have to feel that life is going to pass you by if you arent in school right away.
I know you can make it. Good luck!
Reply:Thats alot, and I did read it all. You have alot of family things to worry about of course, but when it comes to college do what YOU want and do it for YOURSELF. Community schools don't select people, so just apply and you'll get in. Make sure you do well in community school, get the best grades you can because it will make a big difference when you apply to a university. Financial aid is there for everyone, apply and you will get the money, most likely through loans etc., but you don't have to pay them off until after you graduate. Don't take peoples crap, and don't be discouraged by people who are trying to hold you back.

My book the kidnappe?
There once was a town called Shellymin it was a very peaceful place, everyone knew each other, they were all friends. It was a little island, most people would go there for a holiday even though others stayed there for a lifetime. You had to go on a ferry to get to the island, it costed $5 per person but if you were a homeowner it would only cost $2. The trees were very good to climb on and that’s why all the children loved the tree’s there. There was also a huge lake that you were aloud to swim in but you couldn’t go past the poles that were in the water because that’s where the fish swam. All the houses stood in a row like soldiers, and every house that was built was to be made out of wood because the man who owned this island loved houses made out of wood, you also couldn’t paint them, but if you had permission you could.
In this little island there lived a rich family, this family was called the Charlson family. Steve Charlson was in the company that worked for the island and he had a wife and four children. He had light brown hair and eyes the colour of the sea. His wife, Alice was a Nurse at the Shellymin’s Children’s Hospital and was thin and beautiful with her long golden hair and bright blue eyes. Their eldest child was Jake Charlson, who was seventeen and nearly going to collage to train to become a teacher. With his good looks and his sweet and sensitive personality he got him self a girlfriend . Next in child birth was Jessica Charlson or you might say Jess, as she was known to be called, she had long brown hair, a few freckles and bright blue eyes the colour of her mum’s, she was pretty, bright and was 13. After Jess came Maxwell Charlson but he preferred to be called Max, Max was a bully at school and had very little friends, he was 11, stubborn and had shaggy, muddy brown hair and a gloomy face. The very youngest of the children was Caroline Charlson, the 4 year old, cute little angel, at least that’s what her parents thought of her, the true Caroline was a clever, tough, out going little rascal, she was cute with her puppy dog eyes and curly blonde hair on the outside but the real her was on the inside.
Then there was there house that was very beautiful, it had a balcony outside every room and it was a 3-storie mansion that looked over the lake, it was LOVELY! Each room had a safe in it just incase they would have a brake-in. In Jesse’s safe there was her money her jewelry and her rare CD’s. In Jake’s safe there was a book called “How To Be A Teacher” there was also a trophy from the Spelling Bee contest when he was 7. In Max’s safe there was an invitation to the bad boys gang party and a card that said: you are now an official bad boy gangster, and a CD signed by the country’s best rapper. Then last is Caroline she had a karate medal and karate clothes from her secret lessons, and a medal from the beauty contest she won when she was 3 and her first lost tooth from a few weeks ago. In the living room they had a flat Plasma screen TV in front of their couch and a coffee table just beside it, they also had all around sound to make the TV sound realistic. In the Kitchen they had a glass table, some cupboards and lots of top class electronics. In Jake’s bedroom, he had a bed, a desk with a 24 inch screen Macintosh computer on it, a TV and a walk in wardrobe. In Jess’s room she had a mirror, some posters of Avril Lavigne and Brad Pit, she had a bunk bed with a desk underneath instead of a bed and a 30 inch TV. In Max’s room there was a rock ‘n’ roll guitar tickets to a concert that’s called: ‘rocking my life’ CD’s for beginner rockers. Also a Compaq laptop and a rockstar book. His bed was a big one that had a black blanket and in big white letters it said this: ROCKSTAR! He also had a white plain pillow. On the wall there was posters of famous rocker’s. In Caroline’s room there was a little bed on the wall there was a painting off a mermaid sitting on a rock then in the corner was a little table with a mirror on it and some ‘learning to read’ books and the carpet was a little pink and red stripes carpet then in the mum and dad’s room there was a king sized bed a mirror on each side of the bed there was a bedside table and then there was a door that led to the bathroom. There was also a indoor pool with lots of toys.
The charltons’s also had a trampoline that floats on the water. Upstairs was a play room with playmobile Lego action figures mini go-karts a little race track and two mote-control cars then there was a spare room for guest’s and a cupboard where all the mum and dad’s trophies and medals. “I’m going to the pub you look after the kids ok?” Said Steve as he went out the door.
“Ok, darling.” She said as he closed the door behind him.
When he got to the pub he said “Hi Moe, give me a beer or two.” In 25 minutes Steve had drunken 12 cups of beers and a bottle of wine. Not surprisingly Steve got drunk, he was so drunk he couldn’t drive the way home and had to take a taxi.
“Hi honey, I’m home!” Steve said as he walked into the room with a slam behind him as he closed the door.
“Shh, don’t wake up the kids!” Alice whispered. ”What took you so long, Steve?”
“Um, uh, can I lie down for a second?”
“Oh no, don’t say you got drunk again! How many beers did you have?”
“Just 12.”
“Just 12? You know what could happen if you got drunk like the time you nearly killed someone with a chair. Where is the car, Steve? You didn’t take a taxi home, did you? Now the car’s still at the pub!”
“Just calm down, I can explain.”
‘Explain what Steve? You know what, this is just going too far, I’m going have to leave. You obviously do not know how to set an example, these are our children Steve! And if you can’t take care of them, then I will! Tomorrow morning I’m taking Caroline and Jessica and leaving this house for good.
“Fine, let it be that way! You maniac!”
“Me? You’re the maniac! No, even worse, you’re an imbecile!”
“NO! Don’t have a divorce!” Shouted Caroline while she jumped out from behind the sofa.
“It’s not what you think.” Alice said in a calm voice.
Then max jumped out from behind the sofa and said “But then why did you say your taking Jess and Caroline and leaving for good?”
“Look everyone just go to bed and in the morning Alice will take Jess and Caroline ok?” Said Steve angrily.
Then Jake slowly gets up from behind the sofa and said “No! It’s not fair soon I’m going to college and won’t be able to see you again!”
“Don’t worry Jake we’ll visit you alright?”
In the morning at 10 o’clock Alice, Jess and Caroline got up had breakfast and then had a little play but Alice looked for a house then she found a lovely house just like there’s so Alice, Jess and Caroline went to have a look at it while Max, Jake and Steve stayed home. When all the boys woke up they had breakfast Max had some Weet-Bix with sultana’s on it and milk, Jake had nutigrain and Steve had some yogurt then they started cleaning up all the girl’s room first they painted Caroline’s room white then they took her bed away and then her table and the mirror then they took all of Jesse’s stuff and they took the posters of her wall. They took her TV away and her table and bunk bed. When a big truck came they put everything in the truck and the truck drived off to give the furniture to Alice and the kids. For lunch they all had some sandwiches because no wanted a really good lunch they didn’t feel like it then Steve said “ok who wants to go get spoilt maybe go in the pool have a party just to get cheered up?”
Both boys said “yeah!” The next day it was their school day the school was called ‘New Life, the school was 5 minutes away it had a playground with 2 swing’s a slide a pole to slide down and that was all there was also a sandpit, there was pre-primary to high school there was a library and a swimming pool the principal was called Mrs. Marble she had a son called Mr.Marble his first name was Alex he was my teacher everyone in the class liked him because whenever your good he will give you fake money then you can buy lollies off him and whoever has the most money at the end of the year will get 2 bags of lollies. Then the school library teacher was called Mrs.Hudnker she taught the year 1 to year 2’s to read then she read stories to the year 3’s to year 7’s then she would give us worksheets and pencils. The school was very nice everyone liked it.
but one-day when the dad was resting a man called John that was going to get kicked out of the island didn’t want to get kicked out and also he wanted their money (with ‘their’ I mean the rich family) so he got a match stick lit it and started a fire…The fire got bigger and bigger by the time the fire was as big as the door John had gone to the place where firemen worked he was back with a fireman suit. He ran into the house and took Steve, Steve woke up shocked. John then took Steve to the his house Steve then shouted “where is my kid’s go get my kids!” but the man called John laughed and said “well only if you let me back into here,you didn’t really think I was a fireman did you? Haha” Steve stared at John then said “look John you are band but if you save my kids then I’ll let you stay. You in?” “Deal” said John with a smirk on his face but first John took Steve to a chair and put sticky tape on Steve’s mouth and tied him onto the chair then John went to go for the kids but when John came back he said “the kids weren’t there” Steve frowned and said “your just trying to scare me get my kids right now!” John smiled again “look pal there not there and I’ve done want you wanted me to do so you better let me stay” “NO WAY!” said Steve in a angry voice “ok then Steve we will do it the hard way” John took out a knife and was just going to stab Steve when the door smashed and a log came flying in then guess who opened the door.
It was Max, Jake, Bell, Alex and Jessie and all the other kids then Max said “SAVE IT JOHN IF YOUR GOING TO HURT MY DAD YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME AND EVERYONE ELSE!” then all the kids got out their weapons some had baseball bats some had tennis rackets some had logs. However, Steve did not want to risk his children so Steve said, “NO kids don’t! You will die please kids!” but the kids did not listen then Jake said “dad you have done everything for us like when your working and I want to play footy with you because no one else does you will just play with me and do your work later” then all the kids nodded then Jessie said “so now we are doing something for you!” but John wouldn’t allow this so he pointed up they gun and loaded it, Steve was signaling to go home but this time the children obeyed.

“What are we going to do?” Asked Jessie “my stepfather might be killed!” she started panicking. “Tell the police?” asked Max. “No! If we want to save our father than if we tell the police they wont let us interfere.” Said Jake frowning. Max got angry. “Shut up Jake we shouldn’t interfere!” “Max, Jake is right we need to save your dad we can’t let the police do it! Anyway the police don’t know where they are, and right now I don’t either! The police are terrible anyway, this is the first time that there has been and murderous kindapper on the loose since I was born!” Bell said firmly. Everyone started shouting at each other and fighting. “EVERYONE! SHUT UP!” Alex roared. “We are losing time! Fighting is not the answer! First we will try save dad then if we can’t we will tell the whole town!” the other kids and teenagers started to nodd there heads. “we need to spy on them first but we need someone small that can fit between the gates. Because John locked them once we went out.”
“Now it is my time to shine!” a voice came from down the dark drippy alley. “Who was that?” Jessie asked. Geuss who came into sight this time? Caroline. “Caroline!” everyone shouted. “No your to young to join with us, its not like you do karate!” everyone giggled by the thought of that. “Oh really?” caroline showed everyone her medals for karate. She had proved them wrong. “Wow!” everyone shouted. “Now lets get to work!” Caroline shouted with a smile on her face. “Wait a minute.” One of the boys said. “Why would John just let us go? Wouldn’t he think that we would tell someone?” “We got to get out of here before he finds out we are here!” Another boy whispered. “To late!” It was John! The kids tried to run but he caught them all. Accept from Caroline that had seen him come out and right now was saving his stepfather.
She explaned that they couldn’t tell anyone and had to save the kids. “John has made a big deal out of leaving this island.” Caroline whispered “dad?” caroline saw that Steve was like a statue. She heard him whisper under his breath, “Alice.” Caroline was confused, “what about mum. Whats wrong with her?” Steve stopped being like a statue and shouted with a horrified face, “ALICE! John said he is going to hurt her! He knows where she is! We need to save her!” Caroline understood and at once they both ran to the hospital.
Steve ran to the counter. “Oh, hi Steve lovely day today, I am sorry about your divorce. Are you here for a app-“ “just be quiet! I have to see Alice! This is an emergency!” “I uh, well, um,” the women studdered. “Where is she!” Steve screamed. “Don’t shout! The lady whispered. Why are you here?” “It is an emergency please I need to see her!” “Ok, ok, calm down I saw a man walk out with her, he said his name was John Mclay, he was taking her out for a test or something, well, that’s what he said.” Steve and caroline had wide eyes. They ran out of the hospital. “What should we do?” Caroline cried. She had tears rolling down her cheek. Same with Steve.
DING, DING, DONG. It was time for everyone in the island to go somewhere of the island. Caroline and Steve had been looking for hours asking every person they saw. No sign. Everyone left. Accept from John Alice and the kids. They were here somewhere hiding. “What if mum is dead and brother and sister and friends?” Caroline wheeped. Steve lifted her up onto his shoulders to comfort her. But not only he comforted her he made her smile the biggest smile. The kids and Alice were in an alley hiding. “Dad! I see mum and others!” whispered Caroline merrily. Steve had also seen. They ran to each other and kissed and hugged. But Alice was quick to think. “We must get out of here! John was going to put a sleeping pill in me and drown me in water!” everyone started to frown. “Look there is the last ferry over there, we should catch it to the meeting. We are allready late! But while we are going there we need an excuse.” Said Alice. They quickly hopped onto the boat. Just as it was going to leave Steve said “wait! We can’t come back to this island, we need to go somewhere else. Lets go get the carand bring it with us so we can go somewhere. Kids stay here. Jake you look after them Alice and I will get the car.” The two ran off and got into the car. Steve was starting it up and Alice had a horrified face. “Steve? Steve? STEVE?!” screamed Alice. “What?!” Said Steve rising his head. “The chilrdren! The ferry!” Screamed Alice getting out of the car. Steve quickly looked. The ferry was leaving with the children. “John was the ferry driver!” shouted Steve they ran to the water. Steve jumped in so he could get to them but they were allready near the end. Steve swam back. The two were shouting for help. The kids were to. John took them off the boat. He had a big metal thing that was black and a square shape. The sun was shining off it. Suddenly they both realised. It was a BOMB.
Days later there was no sign of the kids or the townspeople. Steve and Alice collected all the keys for the cars just incase they needed someextra transport. Their were two keys for each car incase one was lost. They had made a raft and they floated to the other side when the water was calm and still. The sun gazed down on them. A car was parked on the other side. Steve opened the door and tried every key. Finally he found the right one. The car was a red Holden wit some brown mud on the bottom. Alice touched the car. “It has been here for a while the car is very hot.” The sun gazed down in the lovely blue lake. Alice and Steve got into the car. He turned it around and drove around the corner. Suddenly he stopped. The meeting house had blown up. There was black ashand the the lovely house with a bell on the front and swimming pool in the front turned into big ruins. The place was terrible. Suddenly they saw a note on a tree this is what it read: Dear Mom and Dad,we know
That you would come for us so we sneaked this writing and stuck it to a wall. John said something about, a dungeon. We don’t have much time so we will just give you these sums.

My book the kidnappe?
my answer is it's nice to read and cool too ilike it star for you..
Reply:why did you post an entire book on the internet? It is wayyy ytoo long, and it is boring! You added extra characters in the second chapter that weren't there before like Bell and Alex. you elaborated on deatails too much, but didn't give toher needed info on characters. Also, you say Steve was Jess's stepdad in the second chapter, but her dad in the first. this book needs Majro editing!

There was black ashand the the lovely house with a bell on the front and swimming pool in the front turned into big ruins. The place was terrible. Suddenly they saw a note on a tree this is what it read: Dear Mom and Dad,we know

Reply:why did you post an entire book on the internet? It is wayyy ytoo long, and it is boring! You added extra characters in the second chapter that weren't there before like Bell and Alex. you elaborated on deatails too much, but didn't give toher needed info on characters. Also, you say Steve was Jess's stepdad in the second chapter, but her dad in the first. this book needs Majro editing!

How do you handle it when your child is being bullied at school?
Both of my children are verbally abused at school. One has graduated and is through college. The other one has 3 more years to go. I feel so sad and angry for her. My oldest found her own way in high school. She achieved and overcame but the scars are still with her. She will most likely never attend a class reunion and wishes to contact no one from her class. Classmates found her in Face Book while she was in college and contacted her but after messaging back and forth she found that they were just the same as in high school. Small minded and self centered.
My youngest has suffered the worst. It started in 1st grade. She is a decent athlete and has played on a summer fast pitch softball team for the past 5 years in a town other than where she goes to school. She tried out for the Fast Pitch team this year as a freshman at the school she attends. The girls completely shut her out. She wasn't a stand out but she was better than most.
How do you handle it when your child is being bullied at school?
This is finicky business. I don't have too much experience, so don't take my word for it completely, but I've had a lot of times in school where kids made fun of me, and I'll tell you what worked for me.
The answer is courage.
Even if you are afraid, even if you know they will ridicule you, stand up, look them in the eye, and tell them firmly: "Look here. I am a human being. I can talk. I have intelligence. If someone treated you badly, and if that is why you are treating me badly, I am telling you now, I'm sorry about that, and you will have to find a different way to release that stress. I am not afraid of you. You are a human being too. I want to be a part of this community and I see no good reason that I should not be if I want to."
After you say something along these lines, they will ridicule you, tell you what a stupid smartypants you are, how dumb your ideas are, but the truth is, they are denying you because you are right and they are afraid of it, they want to stay where they are because of habit. When you back down and tell them that "be that way, it's hopeless and it always will be", they are vindicated, and go back to their safe, happy world of being mean to others. When you realize that their response doesn't change your response in the slightest, when you BELIEVE and say that your staement still stands, they will shrug and walk away, and then you know you have won the argument (but don't for heaven's sake tell them that. That's going down to their level of, HA told you so.)
It really seems like they are stupid semi-humans that cannot relate. But are they really? No. If you are honest with them, if you tell them the truth and do not back down in the slightest, then eventually they will recognize you. You have to realize that whatever their response to you is, your response doesn't change.
It is very, very, hard. Not thinking that we are who others think we are is so difficult, it is no wonder that people have trouble with it. It takes an incredible amount of courage to stand up and repeat what we've said a second time when it has already been argued against, but there lies success.
I really hope this all helps. When I was at school, kids would make fun of me for being short and smart. They, in effect, tried to beat me down and make me subhuman. I told them firmly and to their faces that I was quite certain that I was human. They looked and laughed, then looked at me again and saw that I was firm. Then they let me be. But had I for an instant backed down, and accepted their animosity, I would not be here telling you this. It is a terrible and wonderful experience.
It is OK to feel sad and angry, and feel free to cry and rage on your own if you feel like it. But don't try to hurt the people who are hurting you, because as Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye and then the whole world is blind." You can admit to the mean people that you are sad and angry because they won't accept you, but realize that that does not mean they are right.
Are there any other specific reasons for this rejection from society, like being short, weird, lesbian, of a different race or ethnicity, or is it just because the kids are mean? Certain issues may have to be addressed directly, like telling people and not backing down that being weird is in fact good, allowing for a greater variety of ideas to flow in the ideological continuum.
Remember to be who you are and not who others tell you you are.

Has this ever happened to you?!?
I am in college and I decided to take a summer course and live on campus for an extra semester to finish a bit earlier. I met this girl V.I.A. face book that go to my college and who is also apparently involved in this summer semester thing here at college.
So we signed up to room together and we ended up getting tripled. She seemed very nice and at first it seemed like the two of us clicked well until our third roommate came in. Then the two of them really "clicked" and I just felt a bit out of place. I mean she's a VERY nice person don't get me wrong but we just don't "click"
has anybody else ever had a situation like this?
and what did you do?
is this normal for us not to like "click" but the other two girls do?
could that mean there is like something wrong with me?
Has this ever happened to you?!?
First of all, there's nothing wrong with you. She and the other girl are just more compatible (personality-wise) for a close friendship. I'm sure she still likes you as a friend too but not as much as the other girl. Its nothing personal just a preference. Try to get along with both of them for harmony sake and find your own best friend.
Its all good.
Reply:Nothing's wrong she just has more things in common with the other roomate. There is nothing wrong with you, she just hasn't had time to get to know you. You have the whole entire summer to become friends. When in college I was the "middle friend". It was three of us, I was the friend that the other two would talk about one another to. Maybe you guys will be friends and maybe not, doesn't mean it's any reflection on the type of person you are. Find another friend.
Reply:That's absolutely normal. Everyone has her/his own peculiarities and preferences it just so happened that the other two jived and you did not. Anyway, we are social beings..you just have to adjust a little to them so you don't clash and tell them honestly how you feel about things. The trick there is keeping the communication lines open.
Reply:no but try to get to know them and hang out with them. If they clicking and u feel so sore then u are going to be left behind so join them. Laugh with them.
Reply:This has happened to me before. This is totally normal, especially between girls, because we are very relationship-oriented. But that doesn't mean we are all going to be the best of friends. Lots of my friends have other "best friends" that they seem to "click" with much better than me, but we are still friends.
Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with you.
Reply:sorry that has never happend to me
Reply:Oh man... Actually this has happened to me to many times... really it happens to me all the time. It seems that i am just not intresting enough to get a long with people. Maybe because i am a bit old fashion about things... I am not completely for drinking and i am allergic to cigeratte smoke. Soo i can't go a lot of places. It sucks... I know how you feel. I actually blame myself for not being a bit more "Crazy" soo maybe i could get a long with some people. But i ain't that way.. My mother raised me a bit more differently and i am now a married woman with a child. Its a bit more difficult for me to make friends.. It just seems that other people click better because they have a lot of things in common. I see it normal for most girls i don't get a long with, I hang out with guys instead. Mostly cus it seems i can't make any Chick friends... I ain't girly enough or always something.. Soo i just go on with my life and find someone who is into things as much as me or as smart as me.

This is normal %26amp; it's still early in the semester so you need to give it time. Some friendships are early bloomers %26amp; some are not. I have a group of friends %26amp; they are all wonderful but I do connect with some more than others more right now, but there's nothing that I wouldn't do for either one of them. Just see how it goes because you may not become the best of friends but they may turn out to be great respectful roommates. Good luck %26amp; I hope it works out for you.

Since I'm 24 yrs. old with a college degree do you think I'm dreaming out of my head for wanting to become...?
A fiction author? I would like to write fiction for each age group. Child, teen, %26amp; adult fiction. %26amp; I also would like to write plays.
I would LOVE to pursue that. I've written a couple of stories, but they're not finished. I don't feel confident enough because of fear that people would say my writing style doesn't make sense %26amp; that the story events would be unrealistic, illogical %26amp; incoherent. I have this fear, based on what I was told for years in college English Composition classes, %26amp; I used to get nothing but F's on my papers.
Do people STILL write plays anymore? %26amp; do you have to go to school to be able to write plays?
Also, if I do write fiction, I'm thinking about formatting it like a play by putting the character's name+dialogue.
***Correct me if I'm wrong. Is the writer's strike ONLY with people writing movie scripts-like Hollywood? I don't want to feel like an idiot if I decide to go to a publishing company to publish my book %26amp; they laugh in my face.
Since I'm 24 yrs. old with a college degree do you think I'm dreaming out of my head for wanting to become...?
First of all, you're aiming way too wide. Most authors write in one genre, for one age group. At the most they write in two. Authors certainly make forays into other genres and groups and types, but it's better business to stick with one or two genres. Any good literary agent will tell you this. Any good literary agent will have feelings similar to mine. You will need an agent.
Start finishing stories. Unfinished stories are never published. Do some research, too. I recommend ralan.com for short story markets. Check out sfwa.com and go to their resources for some good articles to get you started. Realize that there are people out there who will rip you off. Arm yourself with knowledge and you'll save yourself pain and a lot of money.
As far as I know, you do not have to go to school to be able to write plays. However, it is very difficult to get plays published because they are not a viable source of income for any agent or publishing company unless Big Name Productions picks it up. This goes the same for "play-style" novels. Your best bet would be to write a more "traditional" novel, at least for your first couple of novels (or short stories, it all applies).
Lastly, I think the writer's strike is only for people in the movies. But you're going to look like an idiot anyway if you approach a publisher to publish your book. Most publishers don't take unsolicited manuscripts. That is, they only take manuscripts from literary agents. To find a literary agent, try agentquery.com. But please first educate yourself on what constitutes a good and bad literary agent.
Publishing a story, novel, etc. is a life dream for many of us. If you do your research, work hard, and are willing to sacrifice just a smidge of your art in order to make your work more saleable, then you might find that dream coming true.
Best of luck!
Reply:I think you should pursue whatever you want to pursue! There is no writing police, there is no right or wrong story line or format! Use your own creativity and do what you want to do!
I too am writing a book. I doubt that it has anything in that hasn't been written in some form by another author, but I'm hoping that my own spin will make it original. People do still write plays, absolutely! And I think the writer's strike is about the union and writers for tv and movies - but don't quote me on that!
Kurt Vonnegut has a list of 8 rules for writing fiction. One of those rules is to write for one person. I agree wholeheartedly! I am writing what I would like to read. If I take into consideration what every single person I know wants to read, I'll never get the stupid thing done! Try to push your worries about what other people think to the back of your mind and do what makes YOU happy!

Been writing since I was in kindergarten! (I'm 20.)
I write for all three genres U just named! It's fun!
There's a company called Pegasus Playwrights (or Players) in my hometown. (Chicago) Don't know where you live but they got this contest called "Pegasus Playwrights" or something of the kind, so it's safe to say ppl still write plays. I wrote maybe two and one year, only got a certificate.
http://www.pegasusplayers.org/
Also join up with the Writer's Digest Book Club (I'm in it, currently) they got great books on that.
https://www.writersdigestbookclub.com/
Also, I'm curious as to what your story ideas are, since you say the teachers were hatin' on them. O_O
Don't let that discourage you. I also got a critique with that playwright's certificate of participation telling me to watch out about using the name "Buffy" cuz of that Vampire Slayer show. (Please, they are not even the same! I was like "wth"?) X_X
Oh and I think that strike is only for screenplay or teleplay writers or script writers. :) To my knowledge...syas it ALL here...

Reply:Of course you are not dreaming out of your head. Writing is a very reasonable goal. It certainly doesn't hurt to try. It is something you can do at home and it pays well.
As far as I know, the strike is only for those who belong to the writers' union.
Reply:if u really want to be an author u can.u just have to want it enough.and i know this answer is already very cheesy, im still going to make it even more cheesy.like from that movie cinderella story:"dont let the fear of striking out, keep u from playing the game."i think that quote is perfect for you.haha(:
Reply:I say go for it.
My understanding of the current strike is that it is just a strike for the screen, not the stage.
And people definitely still write plays! It's a great form of entertainment.
Best of luck.
Reply:I think you should pursue your dream! You don't want to be eighty years old and regret not ever have tried to get something published.
And yes, people write plays. In fact, I'm working on a book right now with six Newbery winners, and it's a book of plays. Just click to my username and check out some of the questions I've answered (I answer the "How do I get my book published often?" often).
The writer's strike affects those in television and movies and the like. Think performance arts.
Good luck!

Also, I'm curious as to what your story ideas are, since you say the teachers were hatin' on them. O_O
Don't let that discourage you. I also got a critique with that playwright's certificate of participation telling me to watch out about using the name "Buffy" cuz of that Vampire Slayer show. (Please, they are not even the same! I was like "wth"?) X_X
Oh and I think that strike is only for screenplay or teleplay writers or script writers. :) To my knowledge...syas it ALL here...

Good luck! XD
Reply:I really think only a publisher is qualified to critique your writing.
Reply:Of course you are not dreaming out of your head. Writing is a very reasonable goal. It certainly doesn't hurt to try. It is something you can do at home and it pays well.
As far as I know, the strike is only for those who belong to the writers' union.
Reply:if u really want to be an author u can.u just have to want it enough.and i know this answer is already very cheesy, im still going to make it even more cheesy.like from that movie cinderella story:"dont let the fear of striking out, keep u from playing the game."i think that quote is perfect for you.haha(:
Reply:I say go for it.
My understanding of the current strike is that it is just a strike for the screen, not the stage.
And people definitely still write plays! It's a great form of entertainment.
Best of luck.
Reply:I think you should pursue your dream! You don't want to be eighty years old and regret not ever have tried to get something published.
And yes, people write plays. In fact, I'm working on a book right now with six Newbery winners, and it's a book of plays. Just click to my username and check out some of the questions I've answered (I answer the "How do I get my book published often?" often).
The writer's strike affects those in television and movies and the like. Think performance arts.
Good luck!

Reply:If you don't try, you'll never know if you could've made it, and you'll be kicking yourself in the butt for the rest of your life.
Or, as Master Yoda says, "Don't try. Do."
