Desiree'

Hi! I will be a senior next year in high school. My school gives you two choices: finish high school with college courses, or finish high school without college courses. If I go without, it means I don't have to do science, history, or math for senior year. But my family doesn't want me to go without because they think I will automatically not be able to go to college, since I didn't do any of the college prep in highschool. Is this true? Or will I still have the ability to get into college if I tried?

Hello! I am looking for good godly advice on my relationship so please, anyone only seeking to put down christianity or something, please just go away with no rude comments!! I'm just looking for advice.

Okay, here's a little of my backstory. I am what so many stereotypes would call "a christian girl", I've been to church all my life, been to a christian school all my life, and I love God with all my heart. Oh and I'm 17 btw. I've been dating this boy, who's 18, for a month now, who is a christian, but has never been to church his entire life. He believes Jesus died for him, he believes in creationism, and he has good godly morals such as no drinking, drugs, sex before marriage, ect. As part of my own standards of dating him, I've asked that he come to church with me every week, and he has been.

He's very sweet and respectful of me, and I really like that about him, however, because he hasn't been to church ever in his life until now, there are certain things about him that I don't agree with. For instance, when we go to church, he's agreed to come to church with me, and he seems to enjoy it somewhat, but he's told me he doesn't believe he /has/ to go to church. He's told me, "I'm already saved, I don't see the need to go." He also believes the Bible shouldn't be taken too literally. He's told me he believes the Bible was written by men as a way to help lead people to God, with good morals and standards, but that the stories shouldn't be taken too seriously. Along with that, he believes in the story of Adam and Eve, however he believes Adam had a wife before Eve who became the serpant. I've told him this isn't true, but I don't know if he's listened to me or not.

Also, when we're together, all he seems to care about is cuddling with me, and all I care about is talking with him. I'd love it if we talked about God in our daily conversations, but he seems uninterested. I wish we could be a lot closer spiritually, not physically. However, he's respected my thoughts on this and has "backed off" so to speak, but he hasn't tried making our relationship closer to God.

I really like him, I do, a lot, it's just I want God to be the center of our relationship, and he seems to not care about that a lot. I think it's because he never went to church all his life. But he seems to be trying for me. Like, he's willing to go to church with me because he wants to be with me, and he respects all my standards and he's happy I'm a godly christian girl, it's just that I wish he were a bit more godly himself. I'm really stuck right now about all of this and don't know what to do. I've thought about breaking up with him a lot just so I don't have to worry or deal with it, but that wouldn't be right of me I don't think, since he's actually trying to make me happy, and hasn't actually done anything wrong to hurt me or reject God in any way.

I was wondering what any advice anyone has on the matter. I've been taught by church and school to never date a nonchristian, and to keep good standards based on godly principles, which I do. But no ones really taught me what to do if the guy you're dating is a christian, but at the same time not very godly himself. I'm just really confused. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Okay, so I'm looking for a song with a type of love/hate sort of thing. When I say hate, I don't really mean /hate/, more like you-annoy-me-so-much-just-drop-dead-already type of thing. I'm writing a story about a guy and girl who grow up teasing eachother, like the guy pranks her and calls her names, and the girl just finds him annoying and repulsive, but in the end they realize that they love eachother. Does anyone know any songs that might fit this type of thing? It doesn't have to be exact. Any suggestions would help! Thanks in advance! :)

So, next year in school I'm going to have to learn 2 years of a foreign language, and I figured if I do, I'm going to learn it like I want to, instead of being forced to. (I'm homeschooled by the way.) I was thinking about German because its pretty much the only language that interests me, and Spanish is out of the question in learning. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts, such as how hard learning German is? Or if theres a better language I should learn? Any experience you've had with learning German or any language at all would be helpful.

Also, because I'm homeschooled, I can't just take a class at school, so I'm going to have to get some kind of program to help me learn, and if anyone knew any good programs on the computer that would be good for me to use that aren't /too/ pricey. I'm really wanting to learn a language to learn it, none of that really cheap crap programs for tourists. Help me out? Thanks in advance. :)

Okay, heres the backstory. So, I take care of myself, and I know shaving the legs and armpits are most important, but I didn't know about the arms, so I'd shave them too. I know this is wrong now, but let me finish! But, I really wasn't selfconscience about the arms, so I'd shave them like once every few months, just basically when I felt like it, and when I started noticing them.

Then recently, my tutor comments on it. I was doing math and she just nonchalantly comments "you shave your arms?" and i say, "...yea..." and she goes, "oh, its nothing, I just didn't know that. I don't shave mine." and it was kinda awkward, then I guess a month later, my friend goes "you shave your arms?" and i say "...yea..." and she says "you know you aren't supposed to, right? the hair grows darker when you shave it." and i just say "oh" and left it at that. anyways, after that, I got to thinking about it, so I decided I wasn't going to shave them anymore.

Its been like 3-4 months now, and now I'm starting to wonder if my arms look weird to people or not. To me, I haven't noticed at all whether or not my arm hair has grown darker or not, but I have dark hair already, so I've always found my hairs dark anyways. And its not as dark as my leg hair. And, if I look in my bathroom mirror, it doesnt look like I have arm hair, but if I just look at my arms, then i notice it. So, honestly, to me it doesnt look too dark than normal arm hair, but of course I can't tell how people look at me from their point of view.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the matter, or anything. Also, is this unattractive to guys? Because I've recently gotten a guy friend, and I want him to be okay with me, but I don't want to bring it up with him because it'd be awkward. I mean it's just awkward asking the internet this question... Anyways, thanks for future help.

Okay. I have this guy friend and we both like eachother, enough to date, but the thing is, my mom and grandma are skeptical about him because they don't really know him. I come from a very godly family and they are just trying to look out for me because they don't want me to end up in a very bad relationship because he's unChristian. He told me he believes in God, but he really isn't a very godly man. My mom said I could possibly date him if he came to church with us every Wednesday night, and he said he's willing to do that for me and he thinks I'm worth waiting for. But the thing is, I don't feel like I'm worth anything and I find it hard to believe that he would rather wait to have me, than to find a different girl. What do you think? Could he just be saying this? Also for godly, Christian people out there, do you think it's wise to date someone who knows God but isn't exactly on the same spiritual level as you? ...Although I hardly think of myself on any spiritual level. My mom and grandma really want me to date really godly men who I know can be trustworthy, but I don't feel that I myself am very godly. I just don't know.

So I've recently gotten into American Mcgee's Alice. I've never actually played it but reaaaally want to. Although, I've heard the price has gone up on ebay and amazon because of the sequal game Madness Returns, has come out. I really want to buy it but its so high now! Does anyone know if it'll come back in stores re-mastered or whatever? Any other help about purchasing would help me greatly!
