Okay so basically, my family is currently on a trip skiing. I love the snow and the trees and I am so grateful to be here, but I'm having a really hard time with the snow skiing.

This isn't my first time skiing, maybe my 3rd or even 4th time, but it is certainly my first time skiing in a really, really, really long time.

Today, I had a panic attack for the first time in years on top of a slope, and it didn't stop until I was on my way home. That's right, my dad had to call my mom to pick me up from the ski resort and take me back to our hotel. I was embarrassed, but I really, really wanted to be far away from the mountain. My dad and my brothers were really disappointed in me.

I don't like feeling out of control, and on the slopes that I did ski down, I "snow plowed" which resulted in my boots digging into the outside of my calf, which hurt a lot.

My family is planning on skiing again tomorrow. Usually, I would just stay back at the hotel, but renting skis and the passes costs a lot of money, and I don't want anyone to be any more disappointed than they already are.

EVERYTIME I think about skiing again, my eyes fill with tears.

So I guess if anyone could please give me tips on how to ski? I tried looking it up but I couldn't find anything helpful.

Also, does anyone have any tips for keeping my anxiety under control on the mountain, even if I feel like I'm losing control.

I'm sorry this was so long, I just really need help. Thanks. (I'm 14 by the way)

My brothers are truly horrible to me. They say mean things, make me feel so bad, and it's gotten to the point where me running away crying is no big deal at all.

My parents tell me to grow a layer, and the thing is I have a layer, but my brothers have either heard me talk to my parents about things or just know things that will truly hurt me.

They never apologize, i doubt they feel bad.

But I forgive, and it's ok for a bit but then it happens again and I am so hurt. I promise I won't forgive them this time, but I always do.

It's come to the point where they brutally hurt me and expect me to me fine, even do them favors.

Sure, I am mean to them, but not as badly as they are to me. Somehow my parents believe this is my fault for not having a "layer," but siblings fight, but this is too horrible. I am afraid, when they are angry, that they will say horrible things about or to me.

It is a routine cycle that I unwilling participate in, and I would truly push for boarding school if it wasn't so expensive.

What should I do?

So obviously teenagers go through mood swings. I stay super, extremely depressed. To the point where I stay in bed but rarely sleep. I think about dying and aging and stuff. This happens for a week to about a month. And then, suddenly I am excited and happy and giggly and laughy and ready to see the world and this lasts for about a week too. During this time I am super motivated contrasted to depressed stage where I have problems doing the smallest assignments.

I have been called bipolar by a girl trying to insult me, but I wasn't sure if this was just normal teenage behavior.

I have taken online screening tests but I don't know how accurate they are and if I am just agreeing with what they suggest or I actually do it??

I have been doing a project on the holocaust, and Nazi torture is really a common topic brought up. I don't understand how they could do such horrible things to all those people. Like, they literally beat up people, jumped on their necks, bet with others how many hits someone could live through, shoved REAL PEOPLE into burning pits of flesh.

I don't understand how so many people could be this cruel?

My favorite songs are always super unpopular, but if someone says they like a song i do, or they hear it, and like it, I get really uncomfortable. Last year in January Sweater Weather by the neighhborhood was my favorite song, no that's it's popular I can't stand the thought of everyone listening to it, it makes me cringe.

Why do I feel this way?

I saw one at my friends house and fell in love. I did research for two years, planning trips to the shelter, researching vets, ordering litter-boxes and scratch posts.

I went to a shelter a couple months ago to take my family and see how they liked kittens etc.

My little brother seems to be allergic to the cat dander.

His eye swells up, and he says it causes him irritation.

I read somewhere about someone who was allergic to cat dander who washed their hands after they pet their cats, and didn't touch their eyes.

I also read that people can build up certain immunes to cats over time.

So what do you think? Is there anyway to vanquish the allergy?

Thanks.

OK, so I have had my four for a while now, and I have an upgrade waiting. I am not going to get a samsung, I am set on an iphone. period.

I want to know what the major differences are. Besides for the fact that 5c is plastic and in color, and the 5s has the finger scanner, what are the differences.

I was going to get the 5s but it's sold out in my city and I would have to wait for it, which is fine. BUTTTT i was wondering if there is no major differences between the two (software wise), than maybe I can just get the 5c and skip the holiday rush.

Basically i am asking if the 5s is worth the extra money and wait if i can just get the 5c now.

THanks

i really want to adopt a kitten from my local animal shelter. I have given a presentation to my parents about kittens, a document, and an Essay- spaced out though out the course of several weeks.

My dad, who is a veteran cat owner is almost on board with my idea.

My mom, isnt. She appreciates my work, but she just needs something to convince her entirely.

Both of my brothers support it.

I am paying for the adoption fees, shots, and to have it spayed/neutered, and also agree to accept it as a holiday gift.

I NEED SOMETHING TO CONVINCE THEM BOTH ENTIRELY.

PLEASE HELP

let's say the cat was free, how much will shots and stuff cost approx.

Ok, so i have an Eos10d canon camera (not the newest model, i wanted something to practice on before i splurged on a new model), and i got it as a gift from my aunt who didn't need it anymore. I love it, but the lens i have only can focus from far away, which is a problem for some of the pictures i take.

I want a quality lens that DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE AUTOFOCUS, and can focus from a couple inches away.

Not 100% familiar with lens terminology so forgive my language confusion.

OH- and relatively cheap. As in under 100 or 150

Ok, so i was watching netflix, and my ipad had about 50% battery. It all of a sudden shut off. i reset it, delete all unused apps, but it just got worse. i reset it a bunch of times.

it got to the point where i couldn't "slide to unlock" without it turning off.

I want to restore it, but it says it can't be backed up because there isnt enough space even though i am only taking up five gigabites out of sixteen?

This is the first time this has happened. HELP PLEASE

Ok, so if you're even a mild one of my friends, you know that i have a huge problem with people posting pictures of themselves with friends or at a party. It's like "HEY, I AM GOING TO LET MY 100 FOLLOWERS HOW MUCH FUN THAT PARTY THAT YOU WEREN'T INVITED TO WAS!".

Well anyway, my two best friends just posted pictures of themselves together with some other people. it really hurts my feelings, i've already texted them in a group message saying: I bet that was fun.

On top of all that i feel like a complete loser because it's Saturday night and i am alone in my room watching Jenna marbles.

so is it rational to be mad? I mean i know i should get off IG/FB/TWTR, but i want to know if it's rational.

I am contemplating purchasing a custom embroidered Lab Coat, and need opinions on which type I should get. I am a teen male who is purchasing these for working and wear. I prefer the longer 40 inch coats and cannot decide between the UNISEX and MEN's coats and have included the links below.

Here is the unisex long coat: http://www.justlabcoats.com/ProductShopping.aspx?s...

And here is the men's long coat: http://www.justlabcoats.com/ProductShopping.aspx?s...

So i am interested in photography, and i have a really bad camera. I want to buy another one, but i want it to be really good, digital, and good for photography. Please, i want it under 200$?

so there is this guy named matt, and he really likes this girl named abby. she likes thomas who like juli who like brad who likes emma! but emma like robert who likes a girl named nicole. the problem is that nicole is very mean, but she likes En, who likes me?!?! i like matt! help me!

TO many dramas for my lammas!

Windows 7 Dell to a Windows seven Lenovo and a old blackberry.

Thx

so like 4 weeks ago i submitted a poem to this website called "poeticpower" ( www.poeticpower.com )

then i was reading somewhere that these just want to take your money by making you pay for a copy of your "book"
