  • My girlfriend says she can't decide?

    I have been dating a girl for a year and a half, and I'm in love with her, she says she's in love with me. we talked about marriage someday. She's known this guy for a while now, not much longer than me. They were friends, she said, and didn't have any feelings for each other. We went out one time and he was there and she said she was just going to go find him to say hi and talk a little, she was gone for 4 hours. She's done this several times. She also admitted to having feelings for him, and he flirted with her a lot. She dumped me and then said she still had feelings for me, and I dumped my girlfriend for her. We've been together, and we went out, and I found out that guy was there because she kept cutting her eyes to him every time she looked at me, and he started talking to people near us, and it made me nervous, so I left her so I wouldn't have to deal with him, and she went over to him to talk and didn't try to talk to me. then she said later it was because I seemed mad at her. Then she did the same thing again a couple of weeks later. And I had to ask her not to text him while we were on the phone, because she was barely talking to me. And she's lied about things to do with him several time, told him personal things about our relationship, and betrayed my trust over him, and I asked her to stop and talked to her about it, and she says she doesn't know why she keeps doing this. I said she had to choose between me and him then, and she said she can't. She can't. She can't. She cried and moaned and cried. Then I said I would just go if she didn't pick me or change. She said she didn't know how to change and couldn't pick. And cried some more, and said sorry. What can I say or do? What do you think?

  • Good Scholarships? Bad ones? Anything!?

    Okay, I was wondering if anyone had some specific scholarship advice. I appreciate the sites people normally post, but I was wondering if anyone had some specific scholarships that would be good to apply for. Here's some of my info:

    I have a regular diploma.

    I have a 3.1 GPA which may rise to a 3.5.

    I am a member of the Science Team, Math Team, Scholars Bowl, FFA, Robotics Team, Future Business Leaders Of America, and Writer's Bowl.

    I am a member of the Marching and Concert band and section leader of front ensemble in both.

    I attend the Upward Bound program.

    I made a 24 on my ACT.

    I have good standing with all my teachers.

    I attended a year of Career School for Machine Shop.

    I am extremely poor (below poverty line), if that makes a difference.

    I may win Class President.

    I am taking dual enrollment English 101 and 102 next year along with 3 other advanced courses.

    I want to be a lawyer.

    The main colleges I'm interested in are U of Chicago, U Of Alabama, U of Cumberland, but there are many I would probably be okay with.

    Please, any advice is good advice. No one in my family has gone to college. I really need help. I don't care if it seems silly or desperate to ask here.

  • Ipod off Amazon worth it?

    Okay, so I was thinking of buying an iPod Touch 4th generation. I can find them on Amazon used for $165, that's refurbished. Is that worth it? Guaranteed no scratches on the touch screen. If it gets messed up, will Apple still fix it?

  • U.S. Holocaust in 2014, any stock in this rumor?

    A friend of mine got a video from a friend in the military, supposedly it's of U.S. officials planning on having a mass killing of people who are below the poverty line or something along those lines. It's supposed to happen in 2014. I think I remember hearing rumors about this (yes, I'm aware it's most likely fake) and was wondering if any of you had heard this same rumor, seen a similar video, or had a link you could share about it. Thanks.

  • Xbox 360 DVD scratch w/out movement!?

    Okay, I'm ticked. I just put in a brand new Supernatural DVD, and I hear a weird noise, and then it doesn't read the disc. I try again and again, it acts like theres nothing there, just that noise. I look at the disc, and there are a trillion new scratches on it! I didn't move the console at ALL. What the heck!?! Thankfully it seems like the dvd still plays on regular player, but I'm still angry, it almost ruined a just out of the plastic dvd. Is Microsoft going to do anything about it? Because this is crap!

  • Psychopaths and negative connotations?

    Psychopaths are not supposed to feel emotion, and only be out to satisfy themselves, but what if the type of person they are is the type who gains happiness by helping others? They obtain happiness through others happiness, so they are still selfish, but at the same time, not selfish, what do you think about that?

  • I have friend problems?

    Okay, I talked to this girl for a while over the internet, and we developed feelings for each other. This girl had a (sort of) boyfriend, and I wanted her to choose between us, she chose the other boy. I wasn't happy, but it didn't matter, I told her to talk to the other boy about me and her talking, and she wanted to keep our friendship a secret, because she was obviously ashamed and knew he wouldn't like it I said I wasn't going to come between her and him, so we stopped talking, what do you think? Was I right to do that?

    And

    Now the girl is mad at me for not wanting to talk with her anymore, and telling my secrets and mixing them with lies to her sister, who is also my friend, now the sister doesn't want to be my friend due to her sister, what am I supposed to do?

  • GPA question and college question?

    I have many questions,if you know the answer to any of them please answer.

    I am in ninth grade.I would like to become a detective.Im not sure what college to go to,and I don't know if my grades are up to par.I would like to go to go to an Ivy League such as Princeton,I know its a little ambitious.I think I could get a GPA of at least 3.8 at most 3.13.I really would like some help.I guess I would like someone to tell me:

    What colleges would be best for becoming a detective.

    If Princeton is a good choice,and could I get in.

    If I could get financial aid,my family is very poor.

    If there is anything else that I neglected to mention,just ask.Oh and I have aspergers syndrome,if that affects anything.
