Don't get me wrong, I love my dad, but only because he's my dad. I don't like his personality at all. He is such a know it all. If he has your attention, he will go on and on for hours talking about stuff he knows like I'm stupid. It would be one thing if I asked him a question about something I know nothing about and he tells me what he knows, but my dad grabs every little opportunity to talk about anything and everything he knows. Also, everything is a one way street with him. If he's watching the news and someone else is making noise he has the right to tell them to shut up but when that person is trying to hear something and he's running his mouth (which is what he does 95% of the time) they aren't allowed to ask him to be quiet. In his opinion he's always right and when he's not he'll change the conversation around and twist words until, somehow, he is right. But if I'm wrong, he sees an opportunity to show off and I will never hear the end of it. Also, when he's mad, everybody suffers. He's a good dad, but I couldn't dislike his personality more.

My mom has to constantly know what im doing. If I am in a different room and she hears me like pick up a cup and set it down or something, then she will start asking me what I'm doing. I go to a different room and she asks me the same thing. When she calls me on the phone she has to know exactly what I'm doing. If I tell her that I'm like in my room or something or playing on my iPod its not good enough for her. She has to know the details. She asks me so many questions! No matter where I'm at she thinks I'm not ok so she is always asking me if I'm ok. If I am sitting in my room reading or on my laptop she comes in there and asks me if I'm ok like every 30 minutes. She asks me in advance if I'm going to take a shower at night or in the morning. If I'm tired and don't feel like answering questions, she asks more questions. Like today I found her standing at my bedroom door 3 times in 10 minutes to ask me a question. I believe that if she could install a video camera in every room and have someone following me with a video camera every where I go she would. I went to my aunts house this summer and when my mom left the room she told me that my mom is going to drive me crazy. I don't know how to get it through to her that I am ok and I would tell her if I wasn't and when I spend time in my room I am still ok. And I don't get why she needs to know exactly what I'm doing everywhere I go. And every time I get annoyed she gets mad.

I am thinking about going for a interview there and I just wanted to see if they're a good place to go to. Please give me as much info. as possible! Thanks!

I know that before I can do anything to start an acting career i will have to have my parents permission first because I am under 18, but my parents have no idea about this. They are usually pretty understanding, but i don't think they would take this well. When I was little I asked them about being an actress and they said that it's not really a practical career and there is no guarantee I would make it and told me all this stuff about famous people to stop me from thinking about it. Since then, i have decided to be a veterinarian and that's what they really want me to be. They have already helped me pick out a college and they brag to people about how I already have my future mapped out. People have said that i will change my mind before I actually get to college, but my parents refuse to believe that. All of this was decided when I was 11! I'm afraid they won't understand and think it's just some kind of phase I'm going through or something. If I tell my mom she will probably start asking me all these questions and then act like she's going to help me with this and then never do anything and hope i will forget about it and my dad will be skeptical and not take me seriously just like they did when i told them I wanted to learn to play the guitar, and when I wanted to learn to play the violin. They support me, but if they don't think it's really a good idea and that it won't work out, they won't fully support it. I've been practicing and working really hard, but I don't think they are gonna see that.

So about a week ago I posted a question about how I really want to be an actress. Well in the information I out that i don't think my parents would be really excited about me wanting to be an actress, they want me to be a veterinarian. I haven't told them yet. After I posted the question, at about midnight, I sent in my information to a talent agency without my mom knowing. Today they called me and said they want a private audition from me this Saturday. I wasn't ready for this and I am really scared to tell my parents. They don't even know I want to be an actress! They hate hearing about something last minute and telling them this would probably make them mad. I know I should have talked to them about this sooner and asked permission to send in my info, but I was scared. I din't even think they would call me. Now they expect me to call them back and talk about my audition which is in 4 days. These auditions aren't even open to the public. I am freaking out, I have no idea what I should do. My parents aren't that easy going. They already won't be too thrilled with my new dream, but the fact that I didn't tell them about any of this will not go over well with them. I'm not ready to tell them and now I have 4 days! Also, I have never had an acting audition before so I don't know how it works and I'm really nervous. I'm going crazy right now. I have absolutely no idea what should do, please help me!

I've heard Wilmington, NC and Atlanta, GA. If you have any information that you know for sure is true please answer!

My dad thinks he can get what he wants by being forceful. Well, I was talking to him about how when school starts I don't want to take P.E. again. I've already taken and passed it twice and I don't have to take it again. I have already signed up for activities I can take to take the place of P.E., but there is no guarantee that I will be able to take some of those extra classes depending on how many people want to be in the class. Also, if I do get into most of the classes I really want to take, then there still might be one opening for a class that the school will choose for me. So I was saying that if they give me PE then I will talk to my principal about a schedule change. For the first week of school, they allow minor schedule changes. All you have to do is talk to the principal and see where there is another opening at. That is what I was planning on doing, but according to my dad my principal will not listen to me, overlook me, and take no urgent actions to change my schedule. I told him if she is going to do that then why do they offer schedule changes. I know of plenty of students who talked to the principal and had their schedule changed the very next day. My dad says that if a parent talks to the principal she will actually listen because principals are afraid of parents and will actually listen to them. Listening to the students is a huge job of the principal, especially if they are a straight A student who has never gotten in trouble, like me. If parents had to go to the school for everything a student had to face, parents would be there everyday! So my dad tells me that I think I am too smart for him and I think i can do everything myself and if I won't let him talk to the principal then I should just get a job, buy a house and a car and do everything myself. I told him I don't think all that, but the principal encourages students to talk to her about any problems they have and she wants students to feel comfortable talking to her. I was going to sit down and have a rational talk with her, asking if there is anymore classes available. My dad was going to go to my school and demand that I am not put in PE and not take no for an answer, which is stupid because if there are no more classes available then she can't take someone out of a class just to put me in their spot. If I was having problems with another student or a teacher and it got out of hand then I would definitely ask a parent to have a talk with my principal, but a minor complication regarding my classes does not involve parent-principal confrontation. So my dad got very angry, as usual, and told me that if I ever have any problems he won't be there to fix them. Please tell me if you think he took this way out of context or if you think I am wrong for wanting to discuss my classes with my own principal.

Up until now I wanted to be a veterinarian. I have thought about being a missionary a couple times also. But now, for some odd reason, I want to be an actress. It's been bugging me so bad and I have no idea what to do, but I can't stop thinking about it. No matter how hard I try, I can't get this off my mind. I don't think I have ever wanted something so bad. I realize that it doesn't always get good pay and it's not always a constant job and it will take hard work to get big acting jobs, but no matter how many times I tell myself this, I still want it so bad. Maybe it's a calling that I have just found. I have doubts that I won't be good enough, but it still doesn't effect my determination. My parents want me to be a veterinarian and I know they will support me no matter what decision I make, but I feel they won't understand what I'm feeling. I am losing sleep over this and i have spent days thinking about this, nonstop. I'm 13 years old. I really don't know what to do.

Also do you have to buy tickets to get into comic con? If so how much are they?

Just wanted to know because I'm on my second Monster and REALLY hyper.

My friend is at camp and we have been texting the while she's there. So today she told me someone texted her saying they were her boyfriend. She didn't recognize the number and she doesn't have a boyfriend. The number traces back to NC near the coast and we live nowhere near there. This person knows her full name and everything and she doesn't recognize anything about this person. She can't think of anybody who would give away her number to this person and her Facebook is blocked to strangers. Please help, she's really freaked out.

So my friend's birthday is this weekend and we are going to the movies. She told me to bring $15 for candy. First of all, would you spend $15 movie theater candy? So i said i don't think i'm going to bring $15 just for candy. She asked me why and i told her that it's cheaper to get store candy and bring it to movies. So my friend says i can't bring my own candy. I said i wasn't planning on it, but it would be cheaper that way. She asked me how and i said that at the movies you get a small amount of candy for a high price, but at a place like costco or sams you can get a huge box of candy for like $5. So again, in all caps, she said what the heck would you do if they caught you, huh? And i explained to her that they aren't going to check your candy or anything. Some of the richest people i know bring their own candy to the movies. So she texts me back saying i can't bring candy and it's her birthday and she doesn't want to be kicked out. So my exact words were "I'm not going to. I was just giving you some poor peoples advice." And she said well i don't need any advice from you. And i said i was just telling you why i am not bringing $15 and my reasoning behind it. She did ask me. And again, i told her that i am not bringing $15 and she asked why, again. So i was kinda mad and i said that i dont eat that much candy anyway and i am not bringing $15 extra just to buy candy! And she said well you don't have to have an attitude. So this continued and she kept telling me she didn't need my advice and i shouldn't tell her how to live her life and everything. She told me to bring $15 and i said i didn't want to and she asked why and i told her why i didn't and explained it after all the times she asked me why i wouldn't waste $15 on small boxes of movie candy. This friend has always been spoiled and handed what she wants and people say she doesn't know the value of a dollar. I can't get it through her head that it was a suggestion. It's what i would do in this situation, especially if my mom was going to take me to the movies and a spa for my birthday. She didn't have to take my advice and she didn't have to keep asking me why i didn't want to bring $15. I'll bring $5, but i won't waste all that money on candy. She asked me why and i told her. She doesn't understand that.

Me and my best friend text everyday. She is the type of person that will joke around with you, but in sort of a blunt way. i can always tell when she is kidding with me. Well, we were texting and she told me i have a shitty life. Most people would not take this lightly. I didn't, but i wasnt sure if she was kidding or not so i asked her if she was kidding. She replied by saying maybe... and changed the subject. She has never said anything like this to me before. She kids around about some weird things, but she didn't tell me she was kidding and she just changed the subject. I haven't said anything to make her mad, so why would she do this to me. Please tell me what you think is going on here.

"Hope in Hand"

Hope Evans had a perfect life. She had great friends, was dating the captain of the football team, and lived in a beautiful house on the coast with her loving parents. This all ended when a horrible hurricane hit, destroying Hope's home and leaving her parents missing and possibly dead. Follow hope on her amazing journey to rebuild her life after losing everything and learning that it's not about what you have, it's about who you are.

Is the tv show really based on the book? In the books Volume 1 says that Damon is possibly dead? Also it has a girl named Meredith, who is not in the show. Also, in the books, the town isn't called Mystic Falls. I started watching at season 2 or 3 or i haven't seen it all and i thought the first books could tell me what happened in the seasons i missed.

My best friend used to text me everyday. She usually texted me around the same times, but sometimes at random times. Because of this I have my phone with me at all times, even when im at home. For the past 3 or 4 days she hasn't sent me any texts at all. I've sent her one during this time period thinking maybe she sent me one and i just didnt get it because that's happened before or that maybe she was waiting on me to text her. I'm really worried about this. It scares me because i have had friend problems before with someone who used to be my best friend and I guess i'm just scared to lose another friend. I did see pics on Facebook where her and her family were out doing something, but that was days ago. I don't think I have said anything to hurt her. The last thing i said to her was i have to go to bed cause i have to babysit tomorrow and then something about spiders. Please give me your advice and what i should do! Do you think i am over thinking this and i am worried over nothing?

im babysitting a 9 year old and i need some fun stuff for him to do.

I am babysitting my neighbor. He is 9 and he's mostly into cars and baseball. Most of the time I don't really plan nothing for us to do because he is ADD and his attention span is not very long. So we basically do whatever he wants to do, like play cars, or play video games, or baseball, or some kind of random make believe game he comes up with as he goes. The thing is, today he had me run all over the yard shooting "ghosts" with a nerf gun while he pretended to be a dog "dying." This game ended up lasting for two hours because every time I shot a ghost, there was another one in its place. I understand that he is 9 and has a wild imagination, but he wasn't the one running back and forth shooting at the air in 90 degree heat for hours. of course most of the time is taken up with video games and playing on his tablet, but the rest of the time he needs something to do. So if you have any suggestions please help!
