Open Question: Isn't it funny that the so-called "nice guys" aren't nice at all?

The old saying is "nice guys finish last" except most of these so-called "nice guys" aren't so nice after all. I'm a guy name Tyson and I have a really good friend call Danielle. I know her since we were kids and we have been friends forever. We never actually dated but we're flirty sometime and always dance during parties. Anyway Dani is very pretty but she's nice to everyone including the nerds/dorks/rejects in school so she has her share of creepers. My friends and I clown on those kids a lot and sometimes she laughs with us too while nudging me at the same time telling me how "mean" I am. She laughs simply because the messed up jokes we crack are too funny not anything malicious intent. I consider my relationship with her mostly platonic. We speak our minds and gives each other relationship advice when we both had bf/gf. Sure I find her attractive but I don't have a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. I hang out with her because I genuinely enjoy having her around. Her creepers (the nerds) always throw a fit when she turns them down in the nicest way possible and assure them she still wanna be friends. Unfortunately these so-called "nice guys" seem incapable of having this type of relationship with girls. They accuse poor Dani of "leading them on", "hanging out with d-bagss" like Tyson, "shallow", "stuck up", "sleeping around" or even derogatory name-calling. She's one of the sweetest girls I know and doesn't deserve that. What these losers fail to realize is just because my friends and I are "d-bagss" to them doesn't mean we are to girls, our families, or people in need. By hurting someone like Dani these guys are showing their true colors and doesn't deserve any sympathy for their low social status and lack of friends. Anyway one particular guy said some horrible things to her (including racist remark about me pertaining our friendship and accused her of sleeping around. I'm black, one of the few in this school, and she's white) after she nicely rejected his advance to go out with him. I saw her crying by her locker last week during lunch, got the whole story, and confronted the guy after school with a bunch of my friends despite her pleading me not to. He got a concussion but I don't feel bad. Now I'm facing potential suspension for being the leader of this and jeopardizing my admission to college.@apple: why should I apologize when he hurt the feeling of someone who did nothing wrong? more

Open Question: Thoughts on my NROTC essay?

Hey, I've written another draft of my essay for NROTC, and I would hugely appreciate any feedback. Please take the time to read it, and don't hesitate with criticism! " The first official act of the United States of America was, naturally, its Declaration of Independence. The declaration begins famously enough -- "When in the course of human events..." -- words from which was born a nation. No doubt these words, and those that follow, are extremely important and inspiring, but what I believe to be most moving in that document is found near the end. "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." Perhaps the founding fathers simply wrote those words as an affirmation of their unity and dedication to the cause of liberty. I think, however, that instead they extend to all Americans who find meaning in them. Perhaps they are an oath taken for certain Americans in every generation, so that for the lives, fortunes, and sacred honor that have been pledged in the name of this country before, there will always be more who pledge them. I believe our democracy depends upon that pledge, and it is for that reason that I want to become a Naval Officer. Although they are extremely important, patriotism and a sense of duty to this country are not the only reasons for which I want to be a Naval Officer. I know that the Navy will challenge me mentally, physically, and otherwise, and that is a challenge that I embrace as an opportunity. Every day, a Naval Officer must perform his or her job with a sense of pride, professionalism and self-discipline that I have not seen in the civilian world. Naval Officers are truly the best this country has to offer, and I look forward to meeting the challenge of becoming one with dedication and determination. The opportunities the Navy offers in terms of job and financial security are of course very important to me as well. Most importantly, however, I have tremendous respect for the men and women in uniform, in any branch of the military, and I would be honored to have the privelege to serve beside them, and be a leader among them as a Naval Officer. I can only imagine what it must feel like to wake up every day and go to work with the hardest-working, most dedicated, capable, and patriotic Americans there are. It's true, I may not be thinking of the Declaration of Independence, or anything I've mentioned above at all, when I'm running, doing push ups, marching, taking tests on naval science, or doing any of the things necessary for the training that Officers in the Navy go through. But I do know that I will be thinking of them, consciously or subconsciously, if I am given the privelege to serve as an Officer in our Navy. I will be thinking of those things when I lead our sailors, and when I follow those Officers above me. I will be thinking of those things from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, whether at home or at sea, in peace or in war. To end, I'd like to quote one of the most famous Naval Officers in our nation's history, John F. Kennedy: "We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend and oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. "This much we pledge—and more." " more

Open Question: Do you remember John F. Kennedy's death?

Please continue writing 4 or more sentence. Thank you As I was on my way to class one gray November Friday, a friend rushing in the opposite direction turned to say, "The President's been shot! He might be dead." Too stunned to ask any questions, I hurried to class hoping that someone would prove it was only a rumor. As I sat there in disbelief, I felt the frustration growing because the professor would not dismiss class on the basis that we should wait and see; it might be a rumor. However, that was not the case. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy died in Dallas, Texas, that day as the result of premeditated murder. Throughout the weekend, we watched endless hours of television which recorded grief, confusion, and a sense of being lost. We saw panic and fear in the faces of the people in Dallas as the long black car raced to Parkland Hospital accompanied by screaming sirens and scurrying men in black suits. I will never forget the tearful announcement made by Walter Cronkite, America's most respected broadcaster, when he glanced at the clock to give the exact time of death of our President. In a quickly arranged ceremony, Vice President Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office as his wide-eyed Lady Bird looked on. Standing next to him was Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, still wearing the blood-stained pink suit. At that moment and throughout the following days, I got the feeling that Mrs. Kennedy refrained from making eye contact with anyone. Her head remained slightly bent, and she seemed to have withdrawn into her own world while maintaining the regal appearance of our First Lady. It still amazes me to this day how the funeral was planned so quickly and completed without a flaw. After all, it had been many years since the country had buried a slain President. The staccato cadence of the drums and the sight of the black, riderless horse with the boots turned backward in the stirrups across the saddle remain a vivid memory. The composure of Mrs. Kennedy and the innocence of her children affected millions as the world united in grief. It seemed that black pervaded everything from the mourner's clothes to the feeling of despair and hopelessness that surrounded the world. Because I felt so lost and vulnerable, I almost expected to see enemy planes flying overhead as they had done at Pearl Harbor. I was truly afraid for our country, and I resented Lee Harvey Oswald for what he had stolen from us that day. In one devastating moment, a bullet established the legacy of our young, vibrant leader but shattered the dreams of a future he had for America. However, the lighting of the eternal flame was intended to give us hope that someone else would carry out his dreams. Perhaps one of us. . . more

Open Question: Is it normal to be an adult and still have imaginary friends?

I am twenty-five years old and have a large group of imaginary friends whom I share all my personal problems with and act out scenarios. There are two men in the group, a sixteen year old girl and Balto, the wolf dog from the movie. In this group, which I am the leader of, I am the caretaker, the provider and protector. I prefer being with them (my imaginary friends) as opposed to my boyfriend, real life friends and family members. They really get me. Is this normal? I won't be telling this to just anyone...especially doctors. more

Open Question: The man I love, who also loves me, is about to marry another girl? Help?

I am a girl in the senior year of high school. It all started in junior year. Basically, I had to deliver laundry to a student attending a prestigious school nearby. That prestigious school has the most rich and prominent families' sons and daughters attending it, and it takes in wealthy young students from kindergarten and they are educated all the way from kindergarten to university. Well anyway, I was delivering laundry to a student there because my family owns a small laundry, and I saw that the student was attempting to commit suicide by jumping off one of the prestigious school's buildings. I turns out that in the school, the four wealthiest kids, a handsome quartet known as F4, rule the school and this particular boy offended them and so was issued a "red card" - and once you are issued a red card by F4, the whole school bullies you. This boy had been issued a red card by F4. Anyway, so me, an outsider and a commoner, discovered this dark secret within the prestigious school. Because I knew the secret, I was offered a scholarship to the school. The school is owned by a huge conglomerate, with ventures into every imaginable aspect of culture. The deputy president of the conglomerate offered me a scholarship in order to shut me up. At first I was reluctant to go to this school, but due to my parents' pressure and the fact that the school has a huge swimming pool, I decided to go. It was there that I met the four members of F4. F4 is led by the handsome heir to the conglomerate. This makes him have the power to control the school. There is also the quiet, sensitive and nice guy, Ji Hoo, who is musical and artistic. I fell in love with him. And there is a playboy, and also the last member has affiliations with the mafia. At first I fell forthe quiet sensitive guy and I was continuously bullied by F4, especially their leader, for standing up to them. However, I started building a close relationship with them and bickered with the leader who is arrogant but still I guess he is nice deep inside. The nice, sensitive guy didn't love me back and instead liked a model who was abroad. However, the stupid leader started falling for me and started to pursue me. He took me, F4 and my best friend (who is a commoner like me) on holiday to New Caledonia,and I think I became the leader's girlfriend O.o Anyway, fast forward and me and the leader of F4 eventually developed a romantic relationship. The sensitive guy eventually got over his former crush and fell for me. F4's leader and me fell in love, however, his welathy mother disapproved of the relationship and hated me. while his father was on business in Beijing his father collapsed and died. The president of the huge conglomerate had lost his life. My boyfriend's mother became president of the conglomerate and my boyfriend had to go abroad to do business as deputy and heir to the conglomerate, despite being a student. He went to Macau to do business, and I missed him so I went looking for him there. It was there that I met her for the first time. There was a very rich, wealthy girl who my boyfriend's mother arranged for my boyfriend to marry. The leader of F4 was engaged to that girl who fell in love with him, and now it is very near their wedding date. What shall I do? What shall we do? We love each other but his mother forced him into an engagement with that girl. more

Resolved Question: ADVICE NEEDED what should we do?

Okay so me and my friends were going to do a dance for the school talent show. We had been practicing for 2 months with the 5 of us. The dance we were going to do had 7 people in it. Since We only had 5 we asked these 2 guys to join. ( they only joined a few weeks ago while we had been practing for 2 months) everything was going great untill one of my friends ( not one of the 2 guys) hurt her ankle, she couldn't walk on it anymore, nether the less dance. So we decided to only do the dance with 6 people. However this is where things started going wrong. The 2 guys never seemed really into the dance. So they would just miss practice, totally balle on us. they didn't care at all. So our leader, kicked them out. So now the 2 guys are gone, the girl with the hurt ankle is gone....so now we only have 4 people. All the formations we do don't really work with our dance moves we planned. Me and this other girl are willing to change the moves to work with 4 people instead of 7. However, the leader doesn't want to change the whole thing, and says we should just not perform. We have been practing for 2 MONTHS. If we don't perform, all that practing would be for nothing! I feel like the leader is just giving up, she says she only wants to perform if we look perfect. The performance is in 3 DAYS. I think we should just give it our best shot and perform with 4 people. Who cares if we are not perfectly doing the moves together. We are not a professional dance group, we are In high school! Oh my god TT...TT I really want to perform. WHAT SHOULD WE DO????? HELP HELP HELPPPPP more

Resolved Question: Is my Harry Potter OC a Mary sue /a good character?

Name: Annabell Taylor Smith House: Slytherin Origin/background: Descendent of Salazaar Slytherin through a disinherited son, making her related somewhat to voldemort, but not much. Born to a "pureblood" squib and a muggle-born, they were killed during voldy's first takeover, but she was an infant and doesn't remember. She was "adopted" into the black family. After they were sent to azkaban, she was officially adopted by her muggle uncle, a herpetologist ( studies reptiles). She had a quiet and loving childhood, they lived in the country and she didn't have many human friends, but she discovered her parselmouth abilities when she was young. Unfortunately, another parselmouth, an old and very dark and twisted wizard, used one of his serpents to lure her away from her home and became her secret "friend." He would always give her these "funny drinks" that tasted strange, that he claimed was medicine. One morning she awoke and her skin was textured as scales, and she could only speak in parseltounge. She informed her father that she was ill and needed magical assistance. Her father fainted, so she sent an owl to Dumbledore, who came straight away with Severus Snape, and they were able to give her an antidote, but it was too late to take away the entire curse. They couldn't find the dark old wizard afterward. She had a few episodes afterward, but by the time her hogwarts letter came she thought she wouldn't have to deal with it again...or so she thought. Personality: Strengths: cunning, able to think on her feet. Able to admit she is wrong when she is, doesn't hold grudges, is respectful of authorities (at least in front of them). And learns to be brave and unselfish when the time calls for it. (emphasis on LEARNS) Very disciplined in her studies, and intellgent, an above average student and witch.Weaknesses: insecure but covers it with sarcasm and a shying away from social activities. Has a tendency to be cowardly and selfish, but that's mostly from being a kid. Neutral attributes: Would rather avoid problems than face them, which could be good or bad. Learns to be a leader later on, very competitive in what she is good at. Her story: Dealing with doing her part in defending hogwarts, a possesive bellatrix who sees her as a "project" she was assigned, having a crush on a muggleborn hufflepuff, a needy and emotional friend, oh, and the little problem that she might transform into a giant reptillian beast.That's not fun either. Let me know, is she a good character, is this a good story? Anything I can do to tone it down or make it more interesting?Important note: I'm taking out the whole bit with the curse, it will no longer appear above. I agree that it doesn't add anything to the story. Thanks for the input thus far, I'm going to post the prolouge soon on a fansite, I might put a link up. more

Open Question: What do you think of my series plot?

So I'm writing this series but before I pursue it I want to know if it's any good. It's set in an alternate America where special people have psychic powers. The government uses those powers to their advantage by drafting special kids into military schools where they're told they are serving their country. In reality the schools are designed to turn children into psychic soldiers. First Book Claire is enrolled into one of the special government institutions. She has a psychic ability that she is desperate to keep secret. At the school she learns that other children have powers also, and it isn't long before she realizes that everyone has psychic powers. As the book progresses, the school is revealed to be highly militaristic and industrial. Something horrible happens in the school. Terrified, the Claire and a group of friends decide to escape. Using their powers, the kids devise a complicated plan, one that utilizes each of their abilities in important ways. They manage to escape, but at the last minute, the teachers close in, and only Claire and another kid make it out. Second Book The two runaways are desperate to reveal the horrible things that happen in the school, but they can't tell the police, or they'll be arrested. They hear of a secret organization made up of runaway psychics dedicated to protecting the children. They decide to head after them, but unfortunately, they're being closely followed. They arrive at the organization's secret headquarters, but one of the runaways gets kidnapped. Third Book The kidnapped kid is under interrogation. They are torturing them to find out where the hidden runaways are. Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Claire is the new kid. She learns that the organization appears welcoming, but is really hateful of the government, and fueled by fear and rage. It is led by a corrupt kid with a horrifying power. The kids are organizing a jailbreak of the school. They think they'll have more strength in numbers. Secretly, Claire has a psychic connection with the interrogated kid, and is the key to breaking in to the building. On the night of the attack, the kids sneak into the school and try to help the kids escape. A battle ensues, a fire is started, and children die. Claire is desperate to help her friends escape, but the leader of the organization, who has gone completely insane, is killed in battle. The survivors are wounded and terrified, nevertheless victorious. Claire is elected as the new leader of the group. She plans for their organization to grow stronger, and to move from school to school freeing kids and starting a rebellious force. So what do you think? The whole thing is really sketchy, and the names of people and places are subject to change, but I have the basic idea down. YOU LIKE?I was inspired by movies like Push and Xmen, so srry if it sounds like im copying, but i rlly like my idea and i thought it was original. I am aware that the last book is similar to Mockingjay (The Hunger Games) but you should know that I had the idea for it before I read Mockingjay. more

Open Question: My Chaplain refuses to see his wrong doing and is being stubborn. How do I go about this?

My Chaplain said something for a communion the other night that made it seem like if you did it you were saved and if you didn't your not. Well the people I was with were upset about this and I'm afraid it could hinder my friends walk with God. I know in Corinthians that is says you must examine yourself before communion. I showed them that and they understood it and once I explained and we confronted the chaplain about this, but he refused to see himself as doing anything wrong. I would take it as a misunderstanding in most situations, but I heard the same thing that my 2 friends heard and it wasn't right. They are new at Christianity and when they see a Chaplain being stubborn and turning everything around on us it bothers me. We are supposed to be good examples, the leaders especially. How would you deal with this I mean my friends were really bothered by this. Not just the comment he made about communion, but also about not accepting the possibility of being wrong. He said it was them constantly and that they sound like they have issues with it because of something else. It's such garbage that he could even take into consideration that he might be wrong. I just don't know how to deal with it, but I feel like I have to protect my friends. This Chaplain is doing more harm than help so far, but he is supposed to be a leader. What do I do? How do I deal with this with out making a fight between myself and a Chaplain? without causing more problems? without people seeing us with conflict? We are supposed to be brothers because of the title of Christian we are choosing to bear. more

Open Question: How to Mentally Hurt a Bully In HighSchool.?

The one I want to hurt is the leader, the problem is, he is no doubt stronger than me. Also to my disadvantage, he has been recently asking his friends to come and physically assault me. I want to make him squirm for every single person he has made suffer at that school. He also started homosexual rumours about me in year 9. I want to ruin his reputation. He is also one of those Drug Doing F**ked up SkaterF*gs. He attacks me and my friends verbally and it constantly happens because im in every single one of his classes. If it does come to a fight, i am definately faster than he is, and i would probably break both of his arms, but i dont want to resort to this. Any ideas? more

Open Question: Do you know this manga/manhwa?

I'd like to find a manga for my friend. In the beginning the girl asks her brother to take her to the school on his motorcycle but she left her violin at home. Later her brother talks to some kind of leader guy at the school who wants to punish him. The girl says something wrong to these guys and they decide to hit her as well... After school two of these guys take the girl away and the leader asks the girl to be his girlfriend because an other girl doesn't leave him alone. In the end they will fall in love but I don't really know... more

Open Question: Do you think this counts as flirting?

So a couple of weeks ago I went on a school camp and at the end of the camp the leaders (a bunch of people a year older than me) give out awards to each camper. I got Best Sidekick (that's another story) and there was a 2 on it but someone had written "You're #1 to me!" I found out it that this guy did it. I hadn't known him for long but we were friends. Do you think this is flirting? I'm sorry, I know that this type of question is asked a lot but I was just curious. more

Open Question: I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MOM. PLEASE HELP.?

I'm always getting compared to my friends, who have all A's and scholarships. Some of them have even gotten in to Med School when they were in High School. Crazy, huh. I don't have a full scholarship, but I still have something($1000), even though it's not much. I have an A for the first time in three years in Math and I almost failed last year. How the hell am I suppose to live up to these standards? My uncle was, at one point, America's youngest neurosurgeon. My grandfather worked for the government and met presidents. My father's entire family is are doctors. How in the world can I compete with this? My mom thinks I am a failure and is always yelling at me not only because I can't live up to her academic standards, but also because I make mistakes such as not cleaning my room, the kitchen, etc... My dad doesn't clean the kitchen, my brother doesn't clean the kitchen, so why should I have to get yelled at? Plus, whenever my younger brother doesn't study, she blames it on me because she says I shouldn't be watching T.V. or playing XBOX 360 when he's studying. He watches T.V. and plays the 360 all the time when i'm studying and I don't complain! I get blamed for everything my brother does just because i'm 5 years older. My mom thinks i'm lazy and I don't do anything and constantly yells at me. I come home from school at 11:36A.M., I have a job(but I haven't been for 2 weeks because I haven't gotten my schedule yet, which I've asked for many times), and i'm a senior about to graduate. Do you seriously expect me to be studying? I get to exempt all of my exams except 1 or 2 of them and she's still not happy(A's and B's required for exemption). What do I do about that? She is a ticking time bomb. She will go ballistic for the smallest of mistakes such as not cleaning my room, putting the food bowl(not for animals. We don't own any) upside down in the sink(?), not studying on the weekends, not studying for 6+ hours a day, etc... I've cussed out my parents because of how angry I get when my parents, especially my mom, yells at me. However, I apologize every time, but the next time I make a mistake, she brings up how I cussed her out last time even though I said sorry and she said she was cool with it. She is by far the strangest woman I know. She doesn't like to be hugged or touched at all, even by my father! She thinks all kids these days are crazy except the ones that are studying 6+ hours a day, have scholarships, and are doctors. If they were murderers, rapists, serial killers, she probably wouldn't care. I would move out(i'm about to go to college), but interest is forbidden in my religion and I don't have enough money in cash to pay for my college tuition and dorm. I get yelled at for really stupid shit and it's really starting to get to me. I am becoming depressed because in my religion, no matter how "bad" the parents are, you are suppose to respect them and do whatever they want. Otherwise, I will go to hell fire. I've been to all my religious leaders, parents friends, and my friends. They have all basically said the same thing. "Obey your parents no matter what and tough it out." Just for the record, I get along with EVERYONE except my parents(mom especially). Please don't dismiss me as a crazy teenager. I have tried EVERYTHING, and they haven't worked. DON'T TELL ME TO CHANGE RELIGIONS BECAUSE MY RELIGION MAKES SENSE TO ME AND I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK ON RELIGIONS. I JUST NEED A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. Thank You!I've brought up everything with my mom. She doesn't listen and goes CRAZY more

Open Question: He cheated: Separation?

I was planning on leaving my fiance tonight over a phone call because it is urgent. I am tired of being is little trophy and the person he can control. He has been the "leader" in every friend group he ever has had and he thinks he know's everything so he thinks he is hot ****. We have been together for 2 1/2 years and I was fooled for way too long! He was a complete sweetheart until about a year ago. Since then, we fight almost daily over nothing. I admit I was pissed and kissed a few guys while we were dating, which I know was wrong.. but he cheated on me from the second day we were dating. He dated a girl for a bit over a year while I was with him and another girl for a month. Since he has stopped cheating, he has become bitter, controlling and very emotionally abusive. I do NOT want to marry the man he has become. He is in his early twenties and tries killing himself when I leave. He actually tries. I actually have a psychiatrist because of all of thing emotionally stress he puts me through . I want to leave him tonight and start over fresh tomorrow but I know it will be difficult. He always makes ME feel like **** even when he ****** up. He makes ME feel worthless and ask for him back. When I get the guts the actually leave, he threatens to kill himself. I am at a loss.. I need help and I am switching psych's currently because my insurance changed so I do not have right now. Also, I am not close with anyone in my family and hate a lot of them so I refuse to go to them for help.

I don't have a picture up but a lot of people say he is using me for sex and because i'm attractive and he is not. I am "out of his league" apparently . The other day I said "I want to be the perfect girlfriend" and he said " but then you would be too good for me..." That actually hurt. I need help. Some people said to leave and in a few months try to see if he misses you enough to seem different.. then be friends. That is only because I love him so much. How long should I wait? cuz he might bug me.. like really.. He may make it HARD for us to "miss" eachother. Thank you! more

Open Question: Would a seperation work for us?

Open Question: What is a good name for my story?

I'm currently writing a book and would like some input for a name. I don't have much writing done, but I have the main idea of the story: Lucille is a 19-year old girl who takes care of her 6-year old little brother, Desmond. Their father left them after Desmond was born, and their mother recently died. Lucille works as a waitress for little money, and occasionally prostitutes herself when she is desperate. All of this is occurring in a post-nuclear war era set in the not-too-distant future.The city they live in is still intact and has running water and electricity, and still maintains the old currency system. After a year or so, a group of bandits and raiders pillage the city. They kill, rape, and torture many people. Among the fatalities is Lucille's friend, Annabelle, and Desmond. Lucille is devastated by the loss of the last two people she cared about, and begins to lose her mind. She feels extreme guilt for being too weak to have saved them. This guilt manifests into illusory demons that torment Lucille, and drive her into seeking retribution. Eventually, she is able to get a hold of weapons and ammunition. Enough to get revenge on those who took her brother's life. This is all I have so far. Any suggestions for names of places, miscellaneous characters, antagonists (including the imaginary demons and leaders of the bandit clan), and the book (of course) would be greatly appreciated. Also, any suggestions for the book, or constructive criticism, would be awesome. I also intend for this to end up being a trilogy, so future book names to go with the first would be great. Thanks! more

My best friend is a genious, I am the idiot. I'm serious, she's taking honors algebra 2 and at least 3 AP classes and here I am. My parents have associates degrees, hers have PHd's. UGH she is my BEST friend, but sometimes, she doesn't take me into consideration. I made the stupid descision of asking her what her classes were, and I felt so bad. My Schedule: Algebra I (failed it last year) English 2 Civics Honors Dance II Theater I PE 2 (not required but I need a break) Spanish I Biology Honors Her schedule: Aglebra 2 honors (already taken alg 1, trig and geometry...honors of course) AP Biology (already took biology honors) AP Psychology AP Environmental science (she already took earth science honors) Civics Honors English 2 honors Mandarin II PRe calculus over the summer She is getting the AP scholar award for sure. Then she made The volleyball team (high honor) and I didn't. She also made the varsity swim team and got the Athletic Scholar award! UGH. Sports were supposed to be MY thing. So I joined the walk on tennis team and I HATE it so I won't do it 10th grade. She is doing Varsity Volleyball, Varsity Winter Track team, and spring musical and is leader of 3 clubs and member of 8!!! I feel like a piece of sh*t compared to her. We were so...equal in 8th grade, now she's the all around american girl more

Open Question: Why can't she just be a normal girl?

I had a friend. She is being very fussy. People around her are getting very frustrated. Firstly, she is just a normal student in the school. Teacher does not appoint her as any leader. Secondly, she would shout in the class unreasonably like a mad woman to ask the class to be quiet. She is not even the class monitor. I find it very funny. She herself can't even settle her own problems and don't even know how to organize herself. Her shout make u feel so annoyed. No one likes her in the class I guess..... more

Open Question: Review this for me please?

African Americans have friends in their fight for racial freedom. An excellent example of this is Atticus Finch from Harper E. Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper E. Lee lived in a time when African Americans had been freed from slavery but still faced prejudice and injustice. Her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, centered on an unfair trial against a black man. Atticus Finch is the man who defends this black man, Tom Robinson. Atticus is threatened and ridiculed, but he still continues to defend this man. Stokely Carmichael, a Civil rights leader, acted in much the same way throughout the civil Rights movement. He spoke to unite the African American populations with the words, “Black power” and was an inspiration to others. Stokely Carmichael and Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird resemble each other in their intelligence, desire for racial equality, and their nonviolent actions. Stokely Carmichael and Atticus Finch both refrain from violent actions, even in the face of threats and mockery. James Meredith began a peace march in 1966, but was shot to death before he could get very far. Stokely Carmichael “decided to continue the march in Meredith’s name” (McMillan, “Stokely Carmichael”). Atticus Finch, when his children are attacked, never once thinks about going and taking any type of violent revenge. He simply calls the doctor to make sure his son Jem will be alright. In the face of others’ injuries, neither man tries to take revenge or show any sign of violence. Atticus Finch is also threatened with death, after he makes a fool of Robert E. Lee Ewell, the father of the woman Tom Robinson supposedly “raped.” Robert spits in Atticus’ face and threatens to kill him, but Atticus simply “took out his handkerchief and wiped his face” as Robert calls him names and threatens him (Lee 217). Similarly, Stokely Carmichael was threatened with death multiple times and never once turned to violence. Neither man turns to violence, even when their own lives are on the line. Both men use peace to prevent violence, and so both refrain from violence. Both Stokely Carmichael and Atticus Finch possess intelligence which they use in their lives. Stokely Carmichael rejected “scholarships from several white universities” (Kaufman, “Stokely Carmichael, Rights Leader Who Coined 'Black Power,' Dies at 57”). He was recognized for his intelligence. So is Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird when his daughter Scout says that he is the smartest man she’s met. People recognize both men for their intelligence, which means that people believe they are smart. Carmichael, though he declined these scholarships from the white universities, entered “Howard University in 1960” (McMillan, “Stokely Carmichael”). Howard University is a respectable black college of medicine. Atticus attended Montgomery College to study law. That these advanced colleges would do this proves that Stokely Carmichael and Atticus Finch are very intelligent. Carmichael and Atticus resemble each other in their intelligence. Stokely Carmichael and Attics Finch both desire equality for African Americans. Judge Taylor appoints Atticus to defend a black man in court. Even though many white people begin to ridicule him for it, he still “aimed to defend him” (Lee 16). He believes that every man, despite the color of his skin, should have an equal chance in court. Stokely Carmichael also desired this type of equality. He believed that each man should be equal in any situation. In this way, both Atticus and Carmichael believe in racial equality. Carmichael also believed that “political and economical power is what the black people have to have” (Black Nationalism and Black Power). Atticus Finch agrees that black people should have some power, power that is at least as strong as that of a white man. In this way, also, these two men resemble each other by their desire for equality. Atticus Finch and Stokely Carmichael resemble each other in their longing for racial equality. Atticus Finch from Harper E. Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird and Stokely Carmichael resemble each other in ways that tie into racial equality. Atticus Finch is a father and a lawyer assigned the case of a wrongly accused black man. He continues in his efforts to defend this man through ridicule and threats. Stokely Carmichael was a Civil rights leader and went on despite the ridicule. He coined the phrase “Black Power.” Having a man like the kind, hard-working Atticus Finch existing in history proves that there are good people in the world. It gives people hope that men like that will surface again and make the world a better place. Please read and review. Don't hold back. more

Open Question: What is the ceremony used when a leader takes on an apprentice in Warrior Cats?

I'm doing a roleplay and listing the ceremonies, etc. It's about warrior cats. I only have three of the books though, I borrow the rest of my friend Jess, and since one of them I own isn't Into the Wild, I'm stuck on what the ceremony used for Firepaw's mentors is, as Bluestar is his mentor. As it's the leader who does the ceremonies, it's a bit rich 'And I will pass on my intelligence and forethought to ___paw' if it's the leader who's taking on an apprentice. I've checked on the Warriors Wiki too. more

Resolved Question: BORN AGAIN What Does It Mean?

HOW would you answer the question, “Are you born again?” Millions of believers around the globe would answer with an emphatic, “Yes!” They believe that being born again is a mark of all true Christians and the only way to salvation. They echo the view of such religious leaders as theologian Robert C. Sproul, who wrote: “If a person is not born again, . . . then he is not a Christian.” Are you among those who believe that being born again puts you on the road to salvation? If so, you no doubt want to help your relatives and friends to find that road and to start walking on it. For them to do so, however, they need to understand the difference between an individual who is born again and someone who is not. How would you explain to them what it means to be born again? more

Resolved Question: Do my characters seem too unrealistic?

I've coined a new term for writing its called the super main character P.S this is a fantasy novel, not a real world novel. The characters are all reincarnted Immortals who used to be friends. If they dont reclaim they're immortalily their souls will leave the world and the seal on the two gods of destruction will be lifted. That is the breif plot. Okay the Super main character is Echoe Truesilver- she is 17 and a master thief/ the madame of a house of ill repute ( it was left by her dead foster mother. Her buddy 26 year Fareen owns it, but she basicaly runs it.) She has golden brown hair with tints of russet red and copper colored eyes. She is a princess, but due to a fever she cant remember anything before she was 5, when she was picked up by the pirate Alex when he is only 20(her foster father, the Madames son) She is the reincarnation of an imortal called the Lady Knight but her nick name had been Night. She is kind at times and rude at others, is very intelligent and can cut you without you knowing it. She doesnt trust easy. Her full name was Es Echoe Fe Euru Sol. She lives on the continent Argrave. The next super main character is Nine St Veris.19 years old. he is the son of the retired commander of the army. He is an elite soldier that is in a group called the Reaper Sqaud. Ironically, his nickname in the army is called the Immortal. Hes very tall with long black hair and silver eye fringed in silver. His real father is the leader (the person that controls Prizm, the continent he lives on.) He is the only child. He is named Nine because he was born from the ninth mistress, and as a baby he was given to his adopted father so that he could be taught to be the next leader. He is the reincarnation of the Shadow man, and was called Shadow. He loved Night very much but never made a move on her. the feelings transcend time. ( Nine and Echoe love each other.) Kira Beaos is a main character, she is half beast and half human. (has wings) 16 years old. She is the reincarnation of the priest, and is also of his bloodline ( he married the "beast" who infact was just a dragon that could look human.) His nickname was Gelos. She has a fiery temper. Short with blood red hair and muddy brown eyes. She lives on the continent of Magris El Erihaia Fe Eu Sol Is the twin sister of Echoe, but of a different father.( Her father Is the emperor) she is a princess and is the only one who remembers who she used to be. She was the Golden Goddess or En for short.(En was the best friend of Night, and wished if she should be reborn to be her sister.) Eri, has long platinum colored hair and blue eyes. Very soft spoken and is possesive of Echoe. (Dislikes Nine getting too close. THis is due to a grude En had Against Shadow.)

Open Question: My Future Military Career?

Hey, so I am 13 and going into high school next year. I have really been thinking on how I want to spend my life and since I was a kid I always admired the military and had dreamed of fighting and becoming a soldier. During my Junior High School years I slacked off with friends, got physically unfit, played video games all the time, and kinda didn't care and was just living for the moment. I want all that to change. I figure that if I have a goal in life, I might as well strive my hardest to reach that goal, and I have no fear in anything topping me because whatever hurts me only pays off int the end. Also, I have figured that I have great talents in leadership and my country can benefit from them. I would die a soldier for this country and I wouldn't care. I want to live my life a U.S. Military Soldier the best I can and I want to live it to the end. But when I go in to the military I figure that if I expect this to be a long-term career, I might as well make the best of it and try for a superior force like the SEALS, Army SF, or 75th Airborne Ranger Regiment...So I want anyone's opinion on my history that I shall post below...And I want you to tell me if you think I have what it takes to become a SEAL, Green Beret, Marine Recon, or Ranger...I have a lot going for me and I hope to make my life good. I know I am currently unfit for any of these positions but i have confidence and mental strive...That's what drives me.So here is what I think are my benefits toward a military career: -Boy Scouts of America (Currently 1st class scout but expecting Eagle by 18) -Community Service projects ( I have been doing since I was a 6 year old) -Intelligence ( I score top of my class, get 99's on state tests, and am going to a great high school) -Xavier HS (This HS is Catholic and based on military like discipline, about 2 students accepted into West Point every year) -JROTC (Xavier High School offers a Army JROTC program and I may enter their Raiders or Rifle Team based on my fitness over the summer) -Military Science (I will be taking Military Science classes in High School) -National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT is week long courses year round based on leadership training for youth, basic leader traits and qualities are taught) -Set to West Point ( I am set n entering West Point and becoming an Officer, but lets count that out for now) -Physically Strong ( I am a bit overweight, being 5'8.5" and weighing about 175 pounds, but I am husky and strong and have a ton of power) -Mental Strive ( I commonly have a low temper and strive to do my best, even under high pressure and with low encouragement which I see as a great trait) So basically that's all I have for now, hopefully I can do more to ass to my great traits that can raise my chances of getting my dream job. But what do you think, can I make a SF detachment like Green Berets? Also, my main focus here is on getting physically fit and strong over the next 8 or so years. So, I know 8 years sounds like a lot, but if you can, can someone give me some advice on muscle building/fat loss exercises. I would like to drop some pounds but I would rather convert my fat into muscle. Maybe daily exercise would help. Right now I am not terribly out of shape but the earlier the better, right? Thank you everyone@ Manchester United- I don't understand...What war strategy/tactics?Also, Yes I am very smart. I naturally have a very good memory and am a good on the spot thinker and memorize. I can memorize a page of notes and, not read it back to you, but you can ask me any question and i guarantee I can answer it. I don't have photographic memory, which I'm glad I don't, I just have a very quick thinking brain. I can think of quick ways or solutions to problems and I am starting to think of every math problem algebraically. My intelligence could benefit any other branch, I know, but I, like a lot of kids, have always admired those tough rangers and acute sensed SF guys...I follow my drams and push problems out of the way, I don't follow a paved path, I build my own more

Resolved Question: Is it possible to experience heartbreak without ever being in a relationship?

Ok, LONG STORY I'm sixteen and I've never been in a relationship before. There's this guy (I say guy loosely: he's about seven years older than me, and in many ways, a man) who has been very influential in my life. When I was 13 and first entering high school, he became one of my instructors in marching band. With his passion, understanding, and “chillness”, my small section instantly loved and admired him. He listened to what each of us had to say and genuinely cared for all of us. Although I had joined band unenthusiastically and without really knowing what I was getting into, his love of music was infectious and I became passionate for both band and my instrument (I used to think this was just because of his presence, but even in his absence, I find that this passion remains). As time went on, he also influenced my religious beliefs and philosophy in life. I don't think it was his intent, but as someone who was (and is) still trying to figure out who I am, the ideas he shared with us helped me realize things about my own beliefs. Also around this time, my feelings for him began to change. He wasn't just a teacher to me any more, but an older friend who was looking out for me. As I had more firmly established my own identity and sense of self, I also became more confident in what I wanted out of a romantic partner. I wanted someone who I could talk to about important stuff, who could make me laugh, who was idealistic, intellectually equal, and ethical. I wanted him. I think I cried when I realized this. I knew a relationship with him, or even openly crushing on him, would be vastly inappropriate, so I didn’t pursue my feelings. If anything, I became more guarded. Then, about a year and a half ago, he announced that he was leaving to spend some time away doing social work (The volunteer assignment was only for a year, but I sensed that he was looking for a permanent change in his life’s direction). At first, I didn’t take this news too hard, because I knew we still had quite a bit of time with him. Things got more and more sentimental as that time got shorter. He started asking me questions about what I wanted to do with my life. He started noticing how good I had gotten at my instrument under his instruction. He looked at me differently. When he smiled at me, it was so warm and deep that I felt that I could melt. He began impressing on me the idea that I should pursue music beyond high school, and possibly as a career. This thrilled me to no end and I started to realize that it’s what I’d been waiting to hear, even if I’d never consciously though it before. I cried a lot his last few days. It might sound dramatic, but the idea of band without him was a difficult reality to face. And I don’t think I’m the only one who felt this way. His last day with us was a hugely emotional affair. Our section just sat around for a long time, trying to pretend the inevitable wasn’t coming. But when it finally got down to the hugging and goodby-ing, everyone was crying. I wanted to say something, anything, to him to show him how much he had influenced me, and how much I cared about him. It took a lot of courage to approach him by myself and say what was on my mind, and my words were barely audible by the end because of the tears rolling down my face, but I managed to say something that got the message across. And might have given him just a hint that my feelings for him were a little beyond the ordinary. He hugged me really hard and it kind of broke my heart to see tears rolling down his own face. It’s been a year since then, and I still think (and cry) about him a lot. Band just gets tougher without him here, but I stay strong by trying to be the kind of leader he was, because I want the younger kids to have the same kind of experience that I did. The thing is, I still have this feeling that I will see him again. I feel like his role in my life isn’t over. I can’t imagine dating anyone, because I’ve never met a guy I’d rather be with than him. I pray SO HARD for him to come back. I’m sixteen years old, and I’m waiting for this guy who has never revealed a romantic interest in me. Am I completely insane? I’m friends with him on facebook, and although he encouraged us to stay in touch with him and update him about our lives, I have been reluctant to use this for fear of crossing boundaries. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person to pursue an unprofessional relationship, and I have mostly envisioned waiting until I am a legal adult to seek him out. SO, questions: Am I nuts? Has anyone else experienced similar feelings? Is my romantic interest in a much older guy dangerous? Are my hopes of pursuing a relationship with him realistic? If my imaginings were to miraculously come true, would that relationship be healthy? Would communicating with him through Facebook be acceptable? If so, what should I say? You don't have to answer all/any of these questions I'd just like some insight more

Open Question: Does the synopsis for my story sound interesting?

Here's the synopsis: When I was five years old I stumbled onto a portal to another world called Tropolis. It was both old and new, ugly and beautiful, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. While I was there I run into a man named Charlie Tropolis, the son of the world's leader. We became good friends even though I was only there for a day, but things got bad quickly and I had to leave. When I got home my parents wouldn't believe my story about Tropolis, they dismissed it as the imaginations of a young girl and after awhile I forgot all about Tropolis. That is until ten years later when I opened the door to find Charlie on my doorstep Turns out Tropolis wasn't as wonderful as I thought it was. They steal ideas, creativity, practically the whole life force of other planets until there's nothing left. The Earth is next and according to Charlie, i'm the only human able to save it I know it's kind of suckish, but please give me your opinions more

Open Question: Why do caring people get pushed around?

It makes me sick to see such caring people pushed around. They give out their heart and people smash it. For instance, this girl I know ( my friend Tasha who is 16) is such a sweet heart. Even though she has her moments, she’s one of the most caring people you could ever meet. For instance, one time this girl that she hardly knew couldn’t afford lunch at school. Tasha only had enough money for her, and she was starving because she’s really active/an athlete. The girl was talking to Tasha and Tasha asked if she was hungry. The girl said yes, but she had no lunch money. Tasha bought her food with the only lunch money that she had. Tasha had nothing left, but she managed to go around and ask for 30 cents to buy herself a small apple. Also, Tasha is athletic. She loves her teammates and is very loyal to the team and her sport. For her whole track team ( which is about 50 people including coaches ) she bought every single one of them a keychain, which ended up to the amount of 140 dollars of her own money. Then, she went even further and bought two track necklaces for the team leaders because they put in a lot of effort in helping the team. Tasha just bought a car too. She needs somethings fixed, but before she did things for herself she did things for others. What angers me is that sometimes she gets taken advantage of or doesn’t get nice treatment back. She’s a pretty girl who is tall, and many people like her. But some people are idiots to her. Don’t you hate things like that? more

Open Question: Soul calibur 5 question?

How can you boot players from a lobby? Some guy told me there is a way to do this. My friend and I started our own beginners lobby and max level guys keep coming in here and we don't stand a chance.

We are the lobby leader. more

Open Question: Why is my dog whining to go out, then not going?

I just adopted a German Shepherd/Lab mix from a friend. She is about a year old. She whines at the door when she wants to go out. When I take her out, she just walks around smelling everything for about ten minutes or so, then she heads back to our door. As soon as we get back in and I take her leash and collar off*, she goes right back to the door and starts whining again. I wait about twenty minutes then try again and she still won't go. When we get back inside, she pees on the linoleum by the door. What do I do? I'm starting to lose my cool and I really don't want to be mean to her. *She has to wear a Gentle Leader collar when we walk because she pulls so much. I just bought this for her a few days ago. Layla really doesn't like wearing it, but if she doesn't, then she pulls me everywhere. The first few days she was fine and went potty, but now she's just refusing to go. Is it possible the collar has something to do with this? Thanks in advance. more

Open Question: Why there are such poor systems in Govt.departments in India.?

Business man pay taxes because of that the Govt.officers get good salary,good facility and good status but in liew of that they don't care for assessee.My friend visited in the office of Commissioner of Income Tax,Central Circle,Ludhiana (State Punjab),India but it was very difficult to urinal.The washroom was very-2 dirty with bad smell and webs all around.If a team frpm the office of Human Right Commission give surprise visit in the office of Commissioner of Income Tax,Central Circle,Ludhiana (State Punjab),India and go to urinal,they can come to know that how much care is taken of assessee. A lokpal can't do anything in such cases because no asseessee can dare to complaint against such facilities otherwise Income Tax enquery will start against such assessee. God knows what will happen to India. Why our leaders don't take note of all such things. more

Resolved Question: Why am I so easy to be a target?

Im a 17 FEMALE and Im not ugly or dumb. I do have my own flaws, and I am really sensitive. Im not talking about hardcore bullying from everyone around me, but I find Im always the joke amongst my friends. They tease me about my flaws, and the way I dress but sometime eachothers too, but I found most of the time, it would be two against me. They do say sometimes ' you do know we dont mean those things, we do to it eachother sometimes' and they also give me chances to say something rude back, they give me turns - but I really can't, because nothing smart or witty comes to mind. They know I find it difficult to tease others, so I dont see why they dont back off. I told them this sooo many times, but they persist in doing it and trying to make me join in. Also, besides these friends, almost any other friends I know, 'team' up against me. Im always the joke. Maybe its because nobody wants to be on my side who dont have any witty comebacks. I wish I had an attitude and confidence of a leader. What can I do? I dont have people's respect, because you have to 'earn' it. Maybe its the way I stand or walk, or my facial expressions... What do you suggest I do, that makes me appear more respectful. I tried to be the mature and 'ladylike' personality, but didn't work. more

Open Question: Will LONDON ENGLAND ever be the same again?

I am 17 years old and a White English Male living in London as I have done all my life. Its fairly obvious London is virtually a non English zone apart from a few expensive and rich areas, this is because of mass immigration which has turned this city from being one of the most desirable destinations in the world with great history/scenery and charming people into a near 3rd world country. The transformation has rapidly increased even during my lifespan, I can remember being a boy walking the semi-clean streets entering shops owned/run by English people, now that's as rare as it gets with every traditional butcher shop being run by islamic men selling halal, big fruit/veg markets with mouldy food on display run by non english speakers even the small corner shops are run by polish. Now i like multiculturalism to an extent, i grew up with black/asian Friends and the culture is a part of me however being one of about 1 English people in my 400 student year group is depressing knowing this IS ENGLAND. I dont feel like a native, nor do I feel like its my country anymore. I see non English spitting on the floor spreading disease, littering, some chicken shops have been known to serve pidgeon and from personal experience have not been able to take my order because they never understood english, a Mosque down every main street, no respect shown to the authority of this country, no respect shown to the minority of natives. My nans house is up for sale and would you believe every viewer has been indian/pakistani?. Ill sum this question up by saying im focusing on London in general + my ideal London is a White City allowing Minoritys to come and live by our rules and work hard, not a city where natives are forgotten and left to watch our city be transformed into a city for the non English. Will this ever change? I can only see it get worse however eventually I know it will be too obvious for the leaders to ignore but will it be too late? how would the government go about giving this land back to its people? I dont want a completely Engish London but I do want us to be the majority again. more

Resolved Question: I really dont wanna go on this field trip?

My science class got split up between all the other science classes to go on a field trip. We're all going on different days, tomorrow's my group's day. Well, I don't like any of the people in my group. I also don't know anyone in the 5th period science class we're going with. -_- We're going on a stupid freaking boat, right. We did this last year too. I don't want to go, and the dorm leader said if I don't want to I don't have to but all my friends keep saying I should go because it's fun. Should I go? We'd be gone 2nd & 3rd & half of 4th (out of 6 periods). I'm just gonna not go in, if I'm not going lolol. Opinions, please(: --Addie<3My friends aren't going tomorrow, they're going on a different day. That's my problem. If they were going tomorrow, I'd sure as hell be going!Nahh, it's a glass-bottom boat. Which I admit is cool, but we've already done it. It was boring last year, why would it be fun a second time ? Lolol more

Open Question: Is it crazy for me to wait and hope beyond all hope to see someone again?

Ok, LONG STORY I'm sixteen and I've never been in a relationship before. There's this guy (I say guy loosely: he's about seven years older than me, and in many ways, a man) who has been very influential in my life. When I was 13 and first entering high school, he became one of my instructors in marching band. With his passion, understanding, and “chillness”, my small section instantly loved and admired him. He listened to what each of us had to say and genuinely cared for all of us. Although I had joined band unenthusiastically and without really knowing what I was getting into, his love of music was infectious and I became passionate for both band and my instrument (I used to think this was just because of his presence, but even in his absence, I find that this passion remains). As time went on, he also influenced my religious beliefs and philosophy in life. I don't think it was his intent, but as someone who was (and is) still trying to figure out who I am, the ideas he shared with us helped me realize things about my own beliefs. Also around this time, my feelings for him began to change. He wasn't just a teacher to me any more, but an older friend who was looking out for me. As I had more firmly established my own identity and sense of self, I also became more confident in what I wanted out of a romantic partner. I wanted someone who I could talk to about important stuff, who could make me laugh, who was idealistic, intellectually equal, and ethical. I wanted him. I think I cried when I realized this. I knew a relationship with him, or even openly crushing on him, would be vastly inappropriate, so I didn’t pursue my feelings. If anything, I became more guarded. Then, about a year and a half ago, he announced that he was leaving to spend some time away doing social work (The volunteer assignment was only for a year, but I sensed that he was looking for a permanent change in his life’s direction). At first, I didn’t take this news too hard, because I knew we still had quite a bit of time with him. Things got more and more sentimental as that time got shorter. He started asking me questions about what I wanted to do with my life. He started noticing how good I had gotten at my instrument under his instruction. He looked at me differently. When he smiled at me, it was so warm and deep that I felt that I could melt. He began impressing on me the idea that I should pursue music beyond high school, and possibly as a career. This thrilled me to no end and I started to realize that it’s what I’d been waiting to hear, even if I’d never consciously though it before. I cried a lot his last few days. It might sound dramatic, but the idea of band without him was a difficult reality to face. And I don’t think I’m the only one who felt this way. His last day with us was a hugely emotional affair. Our section just sat around for a long time, trying to pretend the inevitable wasn’t coming. But when it finally got down to the hugging and goodby-ing, everyone was crying. I wanted to say something, anything, to him to show him how much he had influenced me, and how much I cared about him. It took a lot of courage to approach him by myself and say what was on my mind, and my words were barely audible by the end because of the tears rolling down my face, but I managed to say something that got the message across. And might have given him just a hint that my feelings for him were a little beyond the ordinary. He hugged me really hard and it kind of broke my heart to see tears rolling down his own face. It’s been a year since then, and I still think (and cry) about him a lot. Band just gets tougher without him here, but I stay strong by trying to be the kind of leader he was, because I want the younger kids to have the same kind of experience that I did. The thing is, I still have this feeling that I will see him again. I feel like his role in my life isn’t over. I can’t imagine dating anyone, because I’ve never met a guy I’d rather be with than him. I pray SO HARD for him to come back. I’m sixteen years old, and I’m waiting for this guy who has never revealed a romantic interest in me. Am I completely insane? I’m friends with him on facebook, and although he encouraged us to stay in touch with him and update him about our lives, I have been reluctant to use this for fear of crossing boundaries. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person to pursue an unprofessional relationship, and I have mostly envisioned waiting until I am a legal adult to seek him out. SO, questions: Am I nuts? Has anyone else experienced similar feelings? Is my romantic interest in a much older guy dangerous? Are my hopes of pursuing a relationship with him realistic? If my imaginings were to miraculouslycome true, would that relationship be healthy? Would communicating with him through Facebook be acceptable? If so, what should I say?
