Open Question: I love someone, but I cant tell them?

Im a 17 year old guy, when I was younger I remember wanting to be with Girls and have a family and get a big house and a good job, and thats still what I really want, but as I went into secondry school, things changed. I still want all that, but there was this guy, He was funny and smart, and he was so cool,we became friends and after my first year I realised that I more than liked him.I realised how Nice and affectionate and funny he was, and I had sexual and emotional feelings for him, I knew I wanted to be with him and cuddle with him and share my life with him,bye now I knew I was gay, I really loved him, but I really didnt want to be gay. as my second and third year became about, my love for him grew and grew, Just being with or knowing that he was in the room made me happy. I was trying to find the strenght to tell him how I feel, but I was afraid of what people would think, and the fact that I would be bullied if he told anyone and it leaked out and the fact that If I told him, that he would hate me. There was so much against telling him...that I just couldnt tell him, Then thinking over summer of between my 3rd and 4th year, I came to the conclusion that I should tell him how I feel, But I cam back to 4th year with the shock that he had left, Noone Knows where he is gone, He had just dissappeared from thin air, well I try everything during that year to find him, but after searching phonebooks, facebook, myspace, and even asking the principal did she know anything, I gave up, ..I was devastated.. I just wanted to be with him. well now I am in 5th year, and I have come to the realization that I am probably never going to see him again, and even if I do see him again, its pointless in thiking about him because If I do I will keep on being depressed and sad, which is not good, Well I met this guy who I knew for 2 years in my school, He is caring, sweet and nice. I dont have many friends,but when I went on a trip, I always remember that he would ask if I wanted to have dinner with him, and he would always help out and he is super good looking, and beautiful and I just want to cuddle up against him and tell him how I feel, but the problem is, I dont know if he feels the same as me and that If i come out to him, will he tell others or will others find out and start telling people and I might get bullied...Im afraid to tell him. I so want to,,but I cant,I know that I defonatly love him, I just want to be with someone thats like him, thats caring sweet , someone that even being in the same room as him makes you happy. I really love him and this is the second guy I have felt like this. I dont know what to do...??? I dont want to loose him, because it would be painful, what should I do? I really dont know what to do, I dont want to loose him or scare him off, I just dont want to miss a chance with him, I dont know what to so? How should I have the best chance with him, should I tell him. more

Open Question: What's responsible for more anti-intellectualism? rap culture, Paris Hilton or Abrahamic religion?

Which genre inspires the most hate and bigotry? which exalts the "mindless breeding machines" of society? Which puts "remaining ignorant" at a premium over "searching for knowledge"? Well to be fair rap does all of those things but it's influence isn't nearly as far-reaching as religion. Also, Paris Hilton has the best perfume ever (I just threw her name in the ring because the mere mention of her tends to make people's blood boil)Tantum: I surely INCLUDE Islam in that, us there some mystical reason you don't? the muslim fundies are just as thuggish and ignorant as the christian fundies, to think otherwise is ludicrous more

Open Question: Why do I go on living?

For starters I'll tell you why and then go backwards. I have something to care for. I have my cats who for the last 8 years have been my best friends and traveling bodies. I don't want to disappoint my family. I don't want to hurt the people who love me. I know what it feels like to think you are taking your last breath, and how precious it is. I'm so close to the beautiful beach that I can smell the salty air blowing through my window. I have two arms and two legs a strong young body a pretty face and a sharp mind to match it. I have a roof over my head clothes on my back and food to eat which is a lot more than many. Sounds pretty good. But I am so poor, and I try so hard, and every door I knock down slams in my face. I've suffered with manic depression since I was a child. I used to write letters to God and bury them in the back yard because i thought he would find them, and all I ever asked was to be happy. Everything I have worked for has been taken away from me. I can't pay rent. I don't have a car. I have to rely on others to support me from day to day. I used to be inspired. I thought I would be someone. I spend most mornings crying myself back to sleep, sometimes just because I'm unhappy that I woke up at all. I've spent most of my life moving from one place to the next just searching for something. I don't really know what. And without too much explaining I can honestly say I've hit an unbearable string of bad luck. My mom always said that God will never give you more than you can handle. But God never gave me anything. more

Open Question: Does this seem like a better plan for me?

I'm 16 and working part time at Kroger as a bagger and I have to admit, it's too much work for not enough pay. I just started about 2 weeks ago, but I can already tell I can't take much more of this. Most of the time, I'm out collecting carts and delivering groceries to peoples' cars. I'm definitely grateful I have a job, but it gets tiring after a while. The decent thing is, I talked to the manager and she told me after my 90 days probation time, she could move me to cashier. I guess that's good, right? To be honest, the only reason I want to move up to cashier is to get experience with it and then put it on my application for Best Buy, but why wait? Working in grocery stores just seem to bleak to me, don't you agree? The place I really want to work at is Best Buy. Always being around electronics and computers, and not always having to clean up spills and bag groceries sounds real good to me. I want to start off as a Cashier and make my way up to Sales Floor Associate. There is one Best Buy about 7-10 minutes away from my house that is hiring for all positions. Now that I can add Kroger to my resume, I think I have a better chance. Do you think I should try my best to get a job there and quit Kroger after I get it? BBY is kinda in a desperate search right now, so this would probably be the best time. Also, which do you prefer? Any suggestions is appreciated. more

Open Question: I really need some suggestions?

Open Question: Online Games, Like WOW.?

So, I can't buy Wold of war craft because it has to many players and I don't want to get involved with that? So if there any other online games that you buy in a store not online and not download online, that is just like WOWC? Please, I would love to play a pc game that you can run around, kill creatures, not have to deal with nudity, and a world that you see other people playing? I do not want to download a Free game online because it requires special game cards or you have to buy all the crap to get it going. I do not want to spend my time wasted searching. I'm going into Bestbuy today and walmart? Mmorpg Games are the best if you don't download them online. Please, anyone? I'm desperate to play one of the games. No matter how big the game size is. If you have a game to tell, is it good screen quality? Are the trigers simple? Can you Have a tiger or pet in the game? Thank you :) more

Resolved Question: Persuasive speech topics please!?

Hi, I need help with finding a good speech topic and I'm running out of ideas. Here are the requirements: 1- the topic has to be one where my classmates (high school students) will be able to take action for/against. As in the topic can't be something about voting in politics, because most of the people in there have a year or more until they are legally able to vote. 2- I'd like the topic to be somewhat school-related. I was thinking about talking about the right for schools to search lockers or personal bags if they have a legitimate reason and I'd like more ideas that would be somewhat like this. Anything to do with school so the class can feel like they know more about what I'm talking about and how this will directly effect them. 3- Some topics are overused and I'd rather not have those - things like saving endangered species or saving energy. Thanks to everyone, hopefully I get a couple new ideas! I need this pretty fast but I'll be sure to try picking a best answer!! more

Open Question: Why is that there are a lot of famous and talented people born in 1988 unlike 1989?

I'm just so addicted to what year I was born and it is really disturbing for me that there are a lot of very famous and very talented people born in 88 ever since. I was born in year 89 and Im so jealous to all very famous and talented people born in other very common and known year which is 88. I keep searching on the internet and almost a lot of movies whether popular movie or not, there are people born in 88, or in 90 or in 92 or in 86 or in 85 or in 82 or in 81 or in 78 or in 76 or in 75 or in 72 or in 71 and etc.... I always notice famous people who were born in that years have alternate numbers like 2,4,6.8,10 I mean come on? what a co-incidence famous people like Rhianna, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexa Vega, Sara Paxton, Nikki Reed, Brenda Song, Emma Stone, Nikki Blonsky, Haley Joel Osment, Hayley Williams, Rumer Willis, Brooke Hogan,Francia Raisa, Hayley Bennett, Emily Browning, Justin Gaston, Lindsay E. Wagner, Leah Pipes, Nicholas Braun, from the Flinstones movie pebbles and bambam have twins born on 88 too, and lots more..... Unlike in 89, I've been researching famous celebrities born in 89 but there are only few people like: Taylor Swift, Joseph Jonas, Alyson Michalka, Hayden Panettiere, Bill and Tom Kaulitz from tokio hotel, Daniel Radcliffe from harry potter, David Henrie from wizards of waverly place, Lucy Hale from privelege/ sisterhood of traveling pants 2/gossip girl, Lil' Mama judge from America's best dance crew by Randy Jackson, Cody Linely from Hannah Montana and etc.... Just few poeple only more

Open Question: Looking for a DSLR Camera?

Hello Photographers I’m looking to purchase a nice camera for my aunt’s birthday that is next month before I ship off to USMC boot camp. I am a techie, but cameras specs are just not in my forte. So what I will do is give you guys the uses of the camera, and what I’m looking at. The main purpose of the camera is going to be taking pictures of children. She is a teacher that runs an after school program, and also takes pictures to put an online album of her child’s little league games. So therefore the camera will need to take excellent fast movement pictures. She takes pictures of the kids just being natural and of their faces. Also as far as moving pictures she likes to do drive by photos when on the road. Right now she has an old point and shoot digital camera. It only has 7.1 mega pixels and sometimes photos will not come out well. With this camera she takes about 2-3 hundred photos per game. She likes to take pictures of kids sliding home or throwing the ball, so she has to time everything right with slow processing camera to capture the moment in time with all dirt clouds, and the facial expression, the whole atmosphere thing. You can imagine it can be difficult doing that with an old digital. So she needs to take rapid fire pictures, that way she knows she got it. That I at least know you need a DSLR camera to do. Also the camera would need good rechargeable built in battery life, since her current camera runs on AA batteries which die often, especially if they are not lithium, they will die in a day. I’m willing to spend a good chunk of money on the camera since it would last her years. She takes very nice pictures but she is amateur when it comes to technical, so I don’t want to get her a very complicated camera. I imagine she’s decent with lenses, but she would have to take some time to learn all of the camera’s features (iso and terms like that) since she is used to point-wait-shoot camera that does all that for her and with auto-focus as well. It would be ideal if this new camera had a very good quality auto mode. Also she likes to take black and white photos since they look nice and are popular. I have tried comparing cameras and just looking at the specs is one thing, but getting advice from experienced people who recommend one that suits her needs best. I don’t want to just pick one based on its awesome specs or price that might not be the greatest for her uses. My spending range is about $500-$750 for a camera with lens since they sell in kits. I prefer to get it from newegg.com since they have amazing shipping and service; or at least from amazon.com. I have made two comparison charts to help, and you won’t have to search as much. If you feel there is better options, feel free to explore outside those choices, these are just what I’m looking at. Examples: Canon Rebel T1i, XS, XSi, Nikon d3000 Her Camera: http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/Z710_Zoom_Digital_Camera/productID.146585700 Two comparisons charts: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006865%20600053231%204021&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=784%7C30-120-355%5E30-120-355-TS%2C30-120-278%5E30-120-278-TS%2C30-113-222%5E30-113-222-TS%2C30-184-096%5E30-184-096-TS%2C30-184-108%5E30-184-108-TS http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_72_0?rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A%21493964%2Cn%3A502394%2Cn%3A281052%2Cn%3A3017941%2Cp_36%3A-75099%2Cp_n_condition-type%3A2224371011%2Cp_72%3A1248879011&bbn=3017941&ie=UTF8&qid=1283440567&rnid=1248877011 I appreciate everyone's help in advance. Please be thorough on your choice, so I may understand why you chose that camera.I also know that in order to get the best speed, I need a high class memory stick. What size is good? Needs to hold about 500 of whatever camera you choose. She will probably take videos with the camera two, but that's not its main use. Something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208536Also I just learned about live view feature and want that in the new camera to make it more point and shoot friendly more

Open Question: hi there, please tell me what you think of what happened to me today?

So I went to a university hundreds of miles away from where I live. I have graduated this year, and as my home computer was slow and awkward, I decided to go to my local university and use there computers, after asking someone at their reception to do some job searching, as I obviously couldn't use the computers at my university. And so that is what I did, for about two weeks. Anyways, today a guy came up to me and said "hi, what are you doing?". Immediately I thought he was looking for someone else and I said "I think you've got the wrong person, I haven't arranged an appointment?" To which he said "Right, its been reported that you've been here for a number of days now, what are you doing?" I explained myself "I'm a student at X university and I’m using your computers provided by the careers service to do some job searching" He then looked at my notes on the desk and the websites on my screen with a suspicious look, and without my permission I might add. He then said "You've been reported as using a memory card, are you downloading illegal software, stealing university documents". By this point I was stunned, I showed him my memory card and I said "I’m just using my memory card for writing my CV's and Covering Letters, I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong? Would you like me to take it out" He said "I need to have a look on that", he then tuck the mouse, opened my memory card and looked at my files with a suspicious look, and again without my permission, but i decided to fully co-operate. All that was on there was Microsoft word documents holding my various tailor made CV’s. He then said "Well, its been reported" and then left. Did that mean he had finished the conversation? I thought he might come back, I suddenly started thinking I’m in trouble. I then began to notice members of staff looking at me a lot as they walked past. I stayed there trying to do my job searching, but I was distracted. I kept thinking “am I doing something wrong?”, "It's been reported", to whom I wondered. And when he said I’ve been reported as using a memory card, have people been spying on me? I decided it would be best to leave and so I did, I won’t be returning tomorrow. However it does mean I can't use the computers to do my job searching. Your thoughts and views on what happened? more

Resolved Question: What is the answer to this 'Bible Riddle'?

Adam, God made out of dust But thought it best to make me first. So I was made before man, To answer God's most holy plan. A living being I became And Adam gave to me a name. I from his presence then withdrew And more of Adam never knew. I did my Maker's law obey 'Nor never went from it astray. Thousands of miles I go in fear But seldom on earth do appear. For purpose wise which God did see He put a living soul in me. A soul from me God did claim And took from me the soul again. So when from me the soul had fled I was the same as when first made. And without hands or feet or soul, I travel from pole to pole. To fallen man I have great might. Thousands of people young and old Will, by my death great light behold. No right nor wrong can I conceive, The scriptures I cannot believe. Although my name therein is found, They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me. Real happiness I'll never see. To heaven I shall never go, Nor to hell below. Now when these lines you slowly read Go search your bible with all speed. For my name is written there I honestly do declare This was written by a 14 year old girl after a Radio Station asked for a riddle that would be difficult to solve. They gave her $1,000. It is a tuffy. more

Resolved Question: Methods on buying car on craigslist?!?

I've called/texted/emailed soo many people about buying their cars but barely any of them reply, answer their phone, and the ones that do reply have already sold it or tell me to try them tomorrow and when I do they never reply back! I'm sort of frustrated with flaky craigslisters, I've heard of craigslist buyers who are flaky, but never flaky craigslist sellers. I mean, come on, I wanna buy their car. Do people never reply back to me because they're already making a deal with someone else who replied faster or does craigslist car buying take a long time or something? I've been searching for cars for almost 3 weeks everyday on craigslist for hatchbacks and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. What's the best way to convince someone to sell them their car to you?! Ahhhhh. more

Open Question: For those who left christianity, dont you think life has been much better ever since?

When i was a christian i tried so much not to sin, and i felt hopeless and weak for some reason. Everything that made me "doubt" scared me, but i kept searching. I figured something. There have been so many religions made through out all history, and it seems like right now christianity is just a fad, if that's the best way to explain it. Before people worshiped the sun god, and the gods on mt olympian, and too many things contradicted Christianity. I left and i felt like a new person. I was unhappy in my christian days, but now life is more pleasurable. I still believe in an afterlife though. How did you feel once you left? more

Open Question: This is The Scar of My Life?

I’m still angry with my mother because when I mentioned all of this to her she made it sound as if it was my fault, but now I know she is only saying it because she is angry with herself for not believing me in the first place. I can see in her actions that she feels guilty and tries being nice, but I want her to apologize to me and admit she did wrong. I know she will do it in time. I will have to try and work with her - it’s difficult to do, but I will do my best. It is perhaps not my mother’s fault that molestation happened to me, nor is it my grandparent’s fault either, but I do blame them for not doing anything when I mentioned that Bob sexually abused me, because if they had acted then, I would have opened up about the others. Currently, I’m doing some recovery of my own by reading self-help books and talking to people about my issues. I’m learning a lot more about myself so I feel good. I am also a codependent person. I will talk more about codependency later on in my other articles. The main reason why I wrote this article is because I want to meet and talk to other women who have been molested. I would like to know if they are aware of the effects of molestation in their lives. I would just want to know how you are dealing with your issues, and if they are similar to mine or different. Then perhaps we can help each other with the issues. I know I am not the only one going through this. In our country, many of us hear about molestation of children, but how many of us know the effects it has when the child gets older? I’ve been searching for professional help here in Belize and so far I haven’t found a person who specifically deals with sexual abuse survivors. We have a counselor who deals with family issues and Aids/HIV victims. Also, we have a counselor who deals with relationships and with women who have been battered by their men, but I’m searching for someone who is trained to help me in the area of child sexual abuse. If you know of someone please contact me. Children who have been molested will probably grow up to have similar issues as me. So if we would have someone trained to help them it would be wonderful. But what about us adults who have been molested? We are still affected because we haven’t dealt with our issues. I want to deal with my issues because I want better for my life. God has done so much for me; he made me survive my past, but he will only do so much for me. I have to do my own part to make it complete. So far I have been working on my issues one day at a time because it is a slow process of recovery. It’s not easy, but I am trying my best. I want to hear from other survivors. I don’t want to create a group yet; I would just want to talk about it. You can e-mail me at sexualabuse_survivor@hotmail.com I have post this article in my local newspaper. And so far i have gotten few good responds but I am still sad of the fact that here in my country we don't have trained professional who can help me in the stage I currently am - to deal with the effects of sexual abuse. I have gotten responds from some counselors but they all said the same that they are not trained to help me but they can try. I am just disappointed at the moment, feel like its only me. more

Open Question: what do you think of what happened to me today?

So I went to a university hundreds of miles away from where I live. I have graduated this year, and as my home computer was slow and awkward, I decided to go to my local university and use there computers after asking someone at their reception to do some job searching, as I obviously couldn't use the computers at my university. And so that is what I did, for about two weeks. Anyways, today a guy came up to me and said "hi, what are you doing?". Immediately I thought he was looking for someone else and I said "I think you've got the wrong person, I haven't arranged an appointment?" To which he said "Right, its been reported that you've been here for a number of days now, what are you doing?" I explained myself "I'm a student at a X university and I’m using your computers provided by the careers service to do some job searching" He then looked at my notes on the desk and the websites on my screen with a suspicious look, and without my permission I might add. He then said "You've been reported as using a memory card, are you downloading illegal software, stealing university documents". By this point I was stunned, I showed him my memory card and I said "I’m just using my memory card for writing my CV's and Covering Letters, I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong? Would you like me to take it out" He said "I need to have a look on that, he then tuck the mouse, opened my memory card and looked at my files with a suspicious look, and again without my permission. All that was on there was Microsoft word documents holding my various tailor made CV’s. He then said "Well, its been reported" and then left. Did that mean he had finished the conversation? I thought he might come back, I suddenly started thinking I’m in trouble. I then began to notice members of staff looking at me as they walked past. I stayed there trying to do my job searching, but I was distracted. I kept thinking “am I doing something wrong?”, "It's been reported, to whom?" I wondered. And when he said I’ve been reported as using a memory card, have people been spying on me? I decided it would be best to leave and so I did, I won’t be returning tomorrow. However it does mean I can't use the computers to do my job searching. Your thoughts and views on what happened? more

Open Question: It's so hard for me to make new friends?

I made a final decision this summer to cut off all of my "friends" because they weren't respecting me as a friend. I was the kind they went to for a ear but when it came my turn to talk nobody listened. Not only that but they acted as if they didn't want to be bothered with me and i am getting too old for games now. I am 22 yrs old and i been longing for a meaningful friendship. It could be just one person idc. But here's my problem.. 1. Ever since i've done this and over the years i built up a wall of basically protecting myself from rejection or someone being untrue to me just so i can save myself 2. I feel like because i don't have a job or attend college at the moment, people would judge me solely for that reason. Like for instance if i decided to speak to a person that does have a job and attends school that they would look at me negatively. Which i have very valid reasons as to why i'm stuck in this spot but i'm still fearing that that's what people would think of me 3. In these friendships that i valued (but of course they were not by the others) i gave a lot of my heart. I considered some of these people best friends and they all used me. So now i feel like i can't really be myself around someone because idk what the outcome will be 4. Idk as far as location where to even start my search. i live in NJ and in a town where for 11 years of living here i've came out with no real good friends. This issue is very hard for me because i really just don't have ANY friends. It was either be hurt by the others and wear a blindfold or save myself and just walk away from it all. I did the right thing which was walk away... but now i have to start from the beginning and i'm starting to lose hope. I search online, that doesn't work. I barely get the chance to go out because financially i just can't. Someone please help =(. If you need anymore detail let me know.I have a gf actually lol. But me and her both are having a hard time with this more

Open Question: which one should i choose?

I have to choose a topic for my term paper. Here are 8 topics with some details about them. I cannot decide which one, so I will tally up to see which one I should write. Please help! 1730s town- Margaret and William Ackerly move from their hometown, Saddle Brook, to an unoccupied land. They found a new town and call it Ackersville. Margaret’s hometown friend, John, and his family move and settle in Ackersville. About a half mile away from the Ackerly’s homestead is a creek that is around three to four feet wide. (They named it Marge Creek.) One day, William ventures across it to discover and old run down cabin. The cabin has a curse from the previous occupants, the Wakita people, who were a mix of white man and Native Americans. Ever since the discovery, the Ackersville residents come down with deathly diseases and have horrible things happen to their town. They have to break the curse to cure all diseases and mishaps that have occurred since the encounter with the old cabin. Haunted house-It’s Hillary’s birthday and she plans a scavenger hunt and a sleepover with her best friends, Amy, Jenna, and Jamie. When Hillary’s friends arrive, they immediately get ready for the scavenger hunt and leave as soon as possible. During the hunt, Jenna and Hillary hear a scream off in the distance. When the girls gather together, they glance in the direction of where they think the scream came from and they discover an old dirt path that leads into the woods. Hillary, being the brave one, decides they will investigate. The girls walk down the path and stop when they come to an iron gate. Hillary, Amy, Jenna, and Jamie are standing in front of the old Rickshaw Estate, a rumored haunted house. Twin witches-Gwendolyn and Prudence Hall are seven-year-old twin witches. On their eighth birthday, which happens to be Hallows Eve, they went trick-or-treating like usual. The girls stopped at this one house, and knocked on the door. No one answered, but it looked like someone was home. Prudence, the braver of the two, turned the knob and opened the door. They ventured inside and searched all over the house. Finally, they came across something out of the ordinary, a tiny door behind the staircase. Gwendolyn and Prudence opened the small door and got sucked into a porthole. It brings them to a cartoon world where the girls believe it is the best place ever. Soon they begin to feel homesick, but how will they return home? Pet that changes into any pet the owner wants- Ryan Scott has wanted a pet since he was five years old. His parents said he had to wait for his tenth birthday for one, but he convinced them to let him get one a week before. The Scotts go to the pet store for Ryan to pick out a pet. He decides on a puppy, picks the one he likes and his parents buy it for him. When they return home, Ryan wishes he had bought a chameleon instead. Right before his eyes, the puppy transforms into this bug-eyed, scaly chameleon. He doesn’t know, though, that the animal will not change after his tenth birthday. Will he find out and be able to pick the perfect pet? Pendant time machine-Mr. Arthur is the teacher for the 5th grade class at Elmwood Elementary School. No one knows why, but he always has this pendant around his neck. One day, Mr. Arthur shows his class that the pendant is really a time machine. The first field trip for his 5th grade class will be to the Jurassic time period! Peeps-The Peeps are tiny, pea-like creatures that have a village in the very core of the Earth. They call their village Peepadoop, and in Peepadoop is a very special gem called the Pea. The Pea powers their village and allows for life in Peepadoop. Dr. Woo is an evil Peep who is after the Pea for his own village. Only, he is using it for the strength of his army to take over Peepadoop. The Peeps can only live in Peepadoop for six days once the Pea is gone. Can they retrieve the Pea and save Peepadoop? The Journal-Eight-year-old Clarissa is walking home from school one day and stumbles upon a journal lying in the middle of the sidewalk. Her curious nature urges her to stop and pick it up. She searches all over the outside and inside for a name, but there is none to be found. Clarissa decides to keep it and read it. What harm could that do after all? Little does she know it’s a journal about her that reveals every moment that happens in her life. Tinkerbell flies away-One day, Peter Pan went to Cinderella’s Castle to ask Tinkerbell if she was going to Cinderella’s ball. When he arrived at Cinderella’s Castle, he looked all over for Tinkerbell but could not find her anywhere. Peter Pan then ran to tell all the other Disney characters in Magic Kingdom that he thinks Tinkerbell ran away. It turns out that Tinkerbell did run away, and now that she is gone, Magic Kingdom is no longer magical. Can Peter Pan and the Disney characters find Tinkerbell and restore the magic? more

Resolved Question: How do I make my teacher fall in love with me?(I want to get back at him real good)?

or actually just fall for me Here's the story, I'm 21 in College no I don't live in the U.S I'm an indigenous girl. I take History class with this guy. He's a social misfit and a recent guy against society he's racist, he says all Indegenous people are inferior, he hates minorities, and he always puts me on the spot and picks on me in class. anyhow he keeps on staring at me, everytime I look he's staring at me, and I know he's attracted to me, because I'm the most decent looking girl in class, I'm not bragging all of my other mates are very mean and not so pretty, my best friends says they were jealous of me...but that doesnt really matter, I do dress very simple, I never dress up to school or anything, but I do like to look cute. Anyway, everytime he says mean things or racist comments about indigenous he smiles, and my peers,who hate me, play along with it I've had days where I come home and just cry, I don't tell anyone but I feel very degraded and I've asked questions in Yahoo before of what to do about this, and people suggest me I should tell a counsler or the school office, but this isn't high school anymore and this is not like the U.S, nobody will give a crap about how I feel, because I'm the only indigenous girl so my best conclusion is to make this jerk fall for me, I know he's already attracted to me...so how do I get him to fall for me? (he's not married, doesnt have kids, and im not underage) please don't tell me to let it go if you don't help i'll keep looking and searching for answers thanks... more

Open Question: History project ideas? Important.?

I'm about to start my History project for the most important exam of my life. I must right a project about a historical event and it's worth 20% of my final grade. It's vital I do well in this. I'm only at the brain storming stage as we only started it today so I must come up with at least some ideas on what to do my project on. After a few quick google searches I've realised this is going to be a lot harder then it seems. The research project I must undertake however must fill certain criteria. The most important of which is it should have a narrow focus for dept of investigation. So it can't be anything obscenely large like Nazism in Germany for example, however it could be an interesting smaller event or other interesting subject to do with Nazism. However in general it is best to stay clear of this as all aspects of Nazism seem to be done in great detail and well documented. Another important part of my project is that I must be able to cite one written source, mainly a book from an historian. The best research projects according to my teacher are generally the ones that get the "Wow, that's interesting" or the "Woah, I never knew that" responses. So that's what has bought me to this section of Y!A. Do you know any events or subjects of history that fit the criteria? I'm looking for something not that well known. In general people with a genuine interest in history tend to know little golden gems of stories like the ones I'm looking for so it would be of great help if anyone could give me an idea. Also if there is a source could you please mention it in your answer. Any opinions or ideas very welcome. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of the names of the twins in my story?

Their pretty much the main characters of the story and their names are: Violet and Samara. So I want to know what you think and if their names match with their personalities. So here a little details on their personalties. Violet: Violet on the outside is a witty girl who often replies with sarcastic comments and the need to speak her mind. She has a soft spot for her family and friends, but on the rare times she will betray them for her own selfish needs. Which comes from the fact for her need to survive and the will to do anything to live. She likes to think she is calm, cool and collected, but on the inside she will start to panic when things aren't in her control. Which is why she thinks of herself of a coward who is searching for a part of her she will never find. Violet also wears a mask to keep everyone out and her personal true feelings in. Samara: Samara has a grudge against the world and the people in it. She was turned her back against society, which made her cover a layer of ice over her emotions thinking they were a waste of time. She tries her best to be as emotionless at possible, but every once in awhile her bad temper gets the best of her and her emotions fly out. She tries to think in a rational and logical manner since she was born a strategist with the intelligence and common sense to back it up. Thanks! more

Open Question: Appropriate explanation for resigning from a job?

About a year ago, my supervisor started experiencing some personal issues and her work/professionalism started to suffer - the problems only worsened over time, and as of about a month ago, it was at the point where she was barely at the office and often at "meetings" where no one could figure out where she was for hours, wasn't really aware of what was going on with our team (of four people), lowering morale and creating an uncomfortable environment by constantly making unprofessional personal comments, discouraging appropriate vacation time, always messing up clients' cases and doubling work by trying to fix these mess-ups, etc. She stayed afloat partly because in our office culture, we try to support employees as much as possible when they're experiencing personal difficulties, and she herself was not being supervised properly. After 2 other employees announced their resignations, I decided to resign as well, because the stress was already too much and I felt that taking a break (my first real vacation in over a year and a half) and starting a new job search/taking some part-time classes was the best option for me. Shortly after we all left, my ex-supervisor announced that she was leaving the program, and explained that, due to her personal issues, she could no longer do her job properly. Although she had offered, due to the situation, I am choosing not to put her down as a reference in my upcoming interviews. However, I'm a bit at a loss for how to explain why I left this position, and I am in no way intending to say anything negative. Any suggestions?In one interview, I explained that I had left the company to explore other career options and to take part-time classes (nothing more, nothing less). The interviewer then noted that I hadn't put down this supervisor as a reference, and asked if he could contact her, and I said yes (since she had offered) and provided contact info. This is my first full-time position out of college; my other references were from an internship and part-time positions from within the past 4 years, which is why I believe it raises a big question-mark when I don't include her. more

Adam, God made out of dustBut thought it best to make me first. So I was made before man,To answer God's most holy plan.A living being I became And Adam gave to me a name.I from his presence then withdrew And more of Adam never knew.I did my Maker's law obey 'Nor never went from it astray.Thousands of miles I go in fear But seldom on earth do appear.For purpose wise which God did see He put a living soul in me. A soul from me God did claim And took from me the soul again.So when from me the soul had fled I was the same as when first made.And without hands or feet or soul, I travel from pole to pole.To fallen man I have great might. Thousands of people young and oldWill, by my death great light behold. No right nor wrong can I conceive,The scriptures I cannot believe. Although my name therein is found,They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me. Real happiness I'll never see. To heaven I shall never go,Nor to hell below.

Voting Question: Help with this really weird dream?

ok so i don't usually remember my dreams but this one i did. me, my best friend/ex boyfriend who i'm still in love with, and some other people (i forget exactly who they were but it wasn't important) were going off in search of the "magenta flowers." on the way there were many pretty fields of various things and then we finally got there. It was pretty magical when we got to "the magenta flowers" and they started spinning when we first arrived. and then the best friend that i told u about earlier started like hugging me and kissing me and stuff and the other people were saying "aren't you with taylor? [his girlfriend now]" and then i went into a coma. when i finally woke up (from the coma) i was in some futuristic looking "tree house." All the people who I went to go see the magenta flowers with were all there and hanging out. my mom came in and they all told me i was 32 (i'm 13 now). I thought that was strange because i still looked the same as i do now. My mom gave me my clothes and my shoes (i was naked for some reason) and they all fit perfectly. Then my mom said "don't tell me those converse still fit you?" (she really wants me 2 get new shoes cuz i've had the same converse for like 2 years and they're really beat up). Even though I thought it was strange that i was supposed 2 be 32 years old and i still looked like i was 13 i believed them and i was really sad that i wasted a lot of my life in a coma. so yeah, that's it. and i'm really beating myself up that i didn't realize i was dreaming when i was supposed to be 32 and still looked the same because i really wanna have a lucid dream. so can anybody help me even a little with the meaning(s) of this? more

Resolved Question: How do i get a retarded "guy" to stop liking me?

Please read it all :( OK well theres this really weird guy who likes me a lot and has asked me out 8 times already and I've rejected him every time and yet he still likes me and has for 3 years now. He really freaks me out and doesn't stop staring at me and when i catch him staring at me he puts his hand over his face but like doesn't cover both his eyes its so annoying. Also he can't do anything out of msn or text he always has to talk on either and is to scared to talk to me in person unless i start. And hes always trying to hug me but when i see him in front of me with his arms open i walk in the opposite direction completely ignoring him. Hes also very weird and walks around with a pencil in his hand pretending its a knife and try's stabbing people he also does weird rituals in the sand and calls himself bone crusher. He also randomly out of nowhere goes WAAGEEEZZZ to himself. And he actually asks me why i don't say i love you back!! And i say cause i don't!! (WHO DOES THAT).!! Oh and at one point this weird guy richard (made up name) on a bus felt my boob so i punched him then the guy who likes me's friends told me he said he wishes it was him who felt me. Also we have this thing coming up called activity day after our exams. We basically go to a random place that we choose like water park, dance class, horse riding, golfing etc... And he asked where i was going so i told him dance even though i'm going to the water park but i don't want him following me there. Then he said "DAMN i should have gone to dance WAAGEEEEEZ." Not to mention he did the most RETARDED thing with his book. This girl called Alice (made up name) kept saying stop looking at me to him cause he was looking at her. He kept going "my god shut up i'm not WAGEEEZZZ." Then she was like yeah you are now stop it. So he did the "smartest" thing and held a book TO HIS FACE. ^_^ And kept peeking from the side which was very obvious to look at me -_-. Oh and not to mention in year 7 he showed evreyone his penis. ^_^ and he actually searched on youtube "HOW TO IMPRESS A GIRL WITH A GUITAR" -_-. Ok now he has a girlfriend and before you go "don't think everyone likes you cause they act weird." He told one of my best guy friends that he likes me and he wouldn't mind CHEATING on his girlfriend if it was WITH ME!??? He showed me the convo AND i went on his account and saw it! He also got me a Justin Bieber (i'm a fan) biography book for my birthday when i didn't even WISH HIM A happy birthday on his. And i looked it up those books cost ALOT. And he's constantly reminding me of how sad he is were no longer in the same science class cause i moved up a set and he moved down :D. And he writes his own songs and claims they're about his girlfriend when he DEDICATES them all TO ME!! Also i never did anything to lead him on i didn't even talk to him before he randomly started and i didn't know him them. Ive tried practically everything like not caring about his problems, and acting really bitchy, and telling him i like other people, and even telling him to his face that i have no feelings for him, and I've started pointless fights with him. And ignoring all his texts calls, and convos iv'e blocked him loads of times. Iv'e only unblocked him when i needed something. I also played a joke on him telling him i was PREGNANT!! He got mad at me but forgave me like the next day -_-! YET HE STILL LIKES ME!!! And he even told everyone we were going out at one point. Please someone tell me how to get him to leave me alone hes really annoying me now! Btw he's an orphan who hates his life and barley has friend he also get made fun of and reject by every girl. (That would make me seem like the bad person now but just so you know i can't report him cause the country i live in would have him out in jail and there are no counselors.)

Voting Question: am i doing the right thing to volunteer?

like many people at the minute, i'm under pressure to get a part-time job. i've been searching all summer but i've had no luck, just some interviews but no call after :( i've decided to volunteer at a local charity shop just to gain some experience. i've done work exp before in a primary school, but i think the reason i'm not getting most jobs i apply for is because i haven't got enough experience in that area. i'm applying for jobs in supermarkets, cafes, shops etc, so I thought it was a good idea to volunteer in a charity shop in order to earn some retail experience. my parents said it's a very good idea, but i think they're expecting me to get a part-time job as well as volunteer. i'm doing a-levels this year, so i want to concentrate as much as i can on those, but i want a job open for me when i need it, like during holidays. i realise now that they go very quickly at christmas/summer so it's best to look for one during term time/school. if i do get a job, should i leave volunteering? thanks :) more

Problem arises tho with my best friend and his best mate thats a girl. Hes loved her for the last 4 months or so and she knows this and shes all good with this. Its his first love and theyve had sex and always kiss and makeout in private (or only when its us 4). Trouble is shes doing it just for a release she doesnt have any sort of feelings towards and him and even considers him really not "boyfriend material". To her its just extreamly good mates that have some fun. But hes been in love with her ever since like april and lately hes become really obsesive. Bellow is a list of recent events that really worry me 1. This girl started mentioning how she saw this really hot guy at pool and shes gana get some guitar lessons from him. (my mate knows if she finds someone else hes out of all the loving etc), when this happened we were in the car with like 3 others and he looked in the rear view mirror extreamly creapy and with a worried face sort of that he will lose what hes got (which is **** all, cause its not a real relationship and i think hes made himself believe it is which is not true) 2. At school he always follows her everywhere and if shes not hanging out with the whole group he goes and searches for her (he says hes going to canteen or something but shes told me he serches for her in art room, library,drama room, music department etc) 3. He is extremely whipped, he would do anything she asks for and is extremely clingy 4. On friday he asked if she wanted to go to his for a sleepover and she wasnt sure if she should cause she was tired, but he asked so much over the course of 2 hours that in the end she gave in and went to his for the night. 5. He doesn't care and gets extremely defensive when people form our group tell him that hes to whipped etc. 6. When our group of about 20 hang out at school hes 90% time with her hugging her or something 7. I could really go on Shes finally realized how bad he really is, the problem is she enjoys what they do and they are really close mates, we are thinking about talking to him but we have no idea how to approach the situation. i frankly dont want to ruin my friendship with him but i also want something to happen cause its getting supper unhealthy really fast. She also wants some room to breathe cause lately she feels a bit strangulated by all his attention etc. No knows about them 2 being so intimate all that people know is that he likes her and they are really good mates.btw she wants to talk to him too but we arent sure how to do it more

Resolved Question: Can you please score my SAT essay?

Assignment: Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. Problems have always existed, and humans have always been searching for the solutions. What are the best adapted solutions to our world’s issues? They are those generated by our creativity since more traditional procedures failed to disentangle the population from diseases, environmental disasters or social problems. To begin with the medical side, several diseases like HIV or cancer are still incurable. After more than half a century of research and study, physicists and scientists have failed to find efficace solutions. Their traditional way of handling their research was useless. Also, we can value creativity in our pursuit of reestablishing a healthy planet. In the beginning, to ensure people’s need of power, man relied of fuel and other polluting sources. It was until the threat was imminent that environmentalists began to think in creative way and found the diverse green energy sources: nuclear, solar and other energies. Furthermore, creativity proved to be efficient in trying to find solutions for social problems. Let us take the example of the poor countries. In the past, developed countries used to endow the third-world countries thinking that might help : they were wrong. The countries remained poor because they lacked in experience and expertise in monitoring programs. So came the creativity once again to change the old policy. They transformed their aid into programs of teaching the population of poor countries to let them work and gain money on their own. Good results are illustrated by the case of some middle eastern countries that have benefited from European and American expertise, In conclusion, traditional solutions do not fit anymore for today’s world problems. Innovation is needed in the medical, environmental and social fields as well as any other. more

Voting Question: What is considered to be the best opera school/college/university in the world?

Juilliard, Curtis, and Jacobs are some of the names I often discover every time I google "best opera colleges". But obviously, USA is not the only place in the world to study opera & classical music. I want to know what are music colleges considered to be the finest when it comes to opera/voice program IN THE WORLD, not just in USA alone. The problem is, every time I try to search it up, I usually come up with American college names only.. I often hear that most people consider European conservatories generally better than their American counterparts, esp. for opera/voice program, is that true? Opera was born in Europe, thus it is much more appreciated and developed there than in USA so in general, Europe offers better learning experience for any aspiring opera singers. But what about the education? Are the European conservatories considered better in terms of the college program itself, specifically for opera? I heard that Italy and Germany have some great opera colleges considering that many operas are written in Italian and German languages. Well, what about in other countries i.e. UK, Sweden, Spain, France, Russia, or even in other continents such as Asia or Africa? How does the music education (opera specifically) in those countries compared to the US? What are good music college/university schools outside the US to study opera? Thanks in advance.Btw I often hear/read about the Swedish/Italian school of singing which is basically a combination of the Italian school of singing with the vocally advantageous "mixed" vowels of the Swedish language. The websites that talk about this Swedish/Italian school of singing claim that many great opera singers of international caliber studied voice in Sweden, such as Kirsten Flagstad, Jussi Björling & Birgit Nilsson. So I was wondering, perhaps Sweden also has some excellent music colleges/universities too to study voice/opera?Hey thanks. I didn't expect to see you here. Btw I have another question: I heard that starting 2011, ALL university/college schools in Europe will charge a tuition fee for non-EU students. Does it mean there will be no more free education in Europe (for foreign students) anymore? more

Resolved Question: Is freepostcardmarketing.com a scam?

Hello, A while back I got an e-mail for this home based business that says you can sign up for free and you can create money just by mailing postcards. I did sign up, it is free. However, i never tried the system and have been searching to see if i can find any information on it as far as the business being legit or a scam. I can't find nothing. The postcards promotes cellphone applications for people to sign up to make money. That's a very common business and it is by the same company/person who founded this postcard business.

I am looking for a good tanning lotion that will give me a lightly tanned look. I'm not looking for anything radical or too dark. This will be for use on my legs only - I'm extremely light skinned, I just want something to put on my legs so they don't blind people with their whiteness when I walk into a room. :P Please recommend the best product, one that looks natural.

Resolved Question: I am pregnant and my boyfriend doesn't want to care and let me do the abortion. What should I do?

I am a female 24 years old, I just finished my study in Europe and search for a job. Unfortunately, I am positive pregnant. We have been staying for more than 2 years already and my boyfriend told me to do the abortion because he is not ready for a child. I talked to my parents but my dad against the abortion and now I couldn't return home. My boyfriend will continue take care of me if I do the abortion. I talked to his parents about my condition, but they just do not care and put their hand up and pretend doesn't know anything. They even suggested me that actually I shouldn't mention my pregnancy to them. Shouldn't I? My mum also suggest me to do the abortion if my boyfriend doesn't want to marry me, because for her, having a child before marriage will bring shame to the family (since I am from Asia). Now I am confused and always ask the same question to my self " why no one wants this baby? it's not the baby's fault, but why we have to kill it? Please see the heart beating from the baby. open your heart!". He Always said that he loved me and happy to stay with me, he even always tried his best to stop me for leaving him, but now he doesn't care at all. He even helps me to return to my home country. prepare for my ticket and everything. People told me that its my fault because I should took the pregnancy pills. Am I really wrong? I didn't want to take the pregnancy pills because I do not like to take any medication. I used to get sick a lot and took medicine almost everyday and because of that, my body is so sensitive to certain of foods. I have a bit of traumatic. To be honest, I really love him and still love him, I really wish at least I can have his baby, but family or people around me keep tell me to abort it. I will do the abortion on Thursday but now because of I am too sad and too much stress, my TB (Tuberculosis) lymph nodes on my neck (old wound) appeared again. Knowing about my pregnancy, he finally told me that he is not sure if he wants to marry me in the future. so what's the purpose for me to stay with him. 2 years ago, I decided to stay with him because I believe that someday he is going to propose me and because he talked him self about having a family with me. I really do not know what to do. should I leave him? or stay and believe that he does still love me. But If I leave him where should I stay? my parents don't want to accept me anymore even if they do, it will feel awkward. His parents used to hug me and now they do not care at all. Please help me more

Resolved Question: HELP ME WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY EX BEST MATE?!?

I know it's long but I'd really appreciate it if you would give it a read as I really need help. Only serious comments please, I don't care if its too long for you to read. If it's too long for you to read, don't comment it? I was friends with this girl for 7 years, best friends for 5. We were like sisters and were inseparable. There was always one problem though- whenever she had a boyfriend, I didn't exist anymore. It was him him him all the time. She never had any time for me, and when she did- he was there too. This happened with every boyfriend, and there must have been 5/6 within the space of 1/2 years. The latest one is the worst. From the first week of them going out, she basically moved in with him. He smokes like a chimney, and now she does too. She did smoke a few years back but I managed to stop her and it wasn't for long, but now she's started again. She doesn't know that I know that though. Shes with him every day, and what went from seeing my best mate every weekend, went to not even speaking to her once a week. I probably speak to her about 1 every two weeks, and it's rare I see her at all. Either he comes everywhere or she asks me if I want to go out when he's busy for the day. She does whatever he says, all the time. He also has two children from different Mums and has to fork out £260 a month for them, which is a huge chunk out of his pay check from his sh*t job. Their relationship therefore has no future (they couldn't get a place together and as you can imagine, he doesn't want kids any time soon- though shes far to young for that anyway (shes 19 hes 23)), as she can't hold a job for very long because she always quits cause she doesn't like it and he has to give away most of his money to his children. They are therefore both broke, but she often takes money off her Mum to buy him fags, alcohol, and to pay for petrol when shes driving him everywhere. His routine has become her routine- she can't stay out late cause she has to get up at 5 am to drop him at work. Obviously, I've moved on. I made more friends and we are so close- much closer than I ever was with her. Plus I've left college and have a whole new group of friends. And of course, I only see her on rare occasions. I know nothing about her life, and she knows nothing about mine. The problem is that when this breaks up, I don't want her to come running back to me. I've moved on, made loads of new friends and put effort into talking to them and going out with them all the time to make sure we stay friends. She obviously has done nothing towards it at all. I don't want her to assume that she can ditch me (for what is currently 5 months and growing) and expect that when it all goes wrong I'll accept her back, and introduce her to my friends and let her hang around with us, only for her to do it all over again when she finds someone new. She never learns her lessons from these relationships, and she knows it bugs me when she ditches me, cancels on me, and she knows I see her as being completely unreliable- she just doesn't care. I've stopped complaining because I've moved on. I'm really happy with my life, I got great results at college, have a great group of friends, am searching for a job and am about to go on my gap year (will be doing one course at college)- where i'm planning to go travelling and then i'm off to uni with my best friends. The thing is, she has very few friends now because they are all going off to uni and because she never bothers to come out with us anymore, so I am the one she'll come running back to when it all goes wrong. I'll be in college with her next year- only for one lesson- but this means that I can't tell her I don't want to be her friend anymore because I'll have to be with her for that time. I want peoples opinions on how I should handle this current situation, and what I should say if they break up and she comes running back. It might happen soon because he's inviting girls around his house when shes not there and not telling her about them and they keep arguing. I can't speak to her about how this is making me feel when she ditches me- I've tried that before (with all her past bfs) and she just gets angry a defensive Thank you so much for your help x more
