I'm a 15 year old female and currently I am 5'8. A few days ago I was 5'7. I was wondering when I'd stop growing, since I don't want to get any taller than I currently am :/ I got my period when I was 11 and even then I was only like 5'5...

Additionally I have a boyfriend who's 5'4. I was wondering when males would stop getting taller as well? I always heard that females usually stop sooner than males but this doesn't seem to be the case?

I take AP Language Arts 4th period with one teacher and would like to switch it to 3rd period with a different teacher. The thing is, I don't know whether it'd be allowed? My school lets kids reschedule their classes after ten days of school and they're pretty flexible with that, from my experience. However, this is my first time taking an AP class and I don't know whether it'd be allowed to switch teachers/periods?

I have two reasons to switch, my most credible one being that my current 3rd period class (Honors Biology) makes me very uncomfortable. I dislike the teacher and the students. There is a college Bio in 4th period with a different teacher. Do you think if I approach my guidance counselor with the request to swap the two classes, using biology as a main excuse and ap lang as a suggestion ("I'm uncomfortable with this class...is it possible to take it 4th period and take Lang 3rd period?") i'd have a good chance at getting my classes switched?

I'm willing to talk to one of the AP teachers about this but i'm afraid that if I tell them, they'll think I'm only switching because I dislike my current teacher, or want to be seated with friends, and not allow the change or take offense?

[Long post ahead]

Basically, here's my situation.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a short time, three months. Our relationship started as a FwB kind of thing, while he was still in love with this girl. They had mutual feelings for each other but never established a real date, or a real relationship. Basically, they were friends who liked each other, and he was pretty much head over heels in love with her.

For a month we fooled around while remaining friends-only. I was actually crushing on him big time and so every time he mentioned how this girl was his first choice or how he envisioned her as 'the one' it hurt, a lot. But back then I only wished for his happiness so I never spoke a word of it.

Now that we're dating, I don't really hold back as much. He wants to hang out with her, even though she still has feelings for him and he knows I dislike her, and that I'm still hurt from being pushed away all the time because she came first. I trust him, I do, it's just that whenever I think about the past I still can't help but feel depressed idk.

It doesn't help that a week ago his feelings for her 'resurfaced'. He told me he started to like her again, because she had some admirable traits that I didn't (happiness. I'm a very depressed person). We've also been getting into arguments daily at that point, but when he told me it really broke my heart, and I did something real stupid to take away the pain and idk the wounds still fresh yknow? Especially since he lied to me for a couple of days about not liking her before coming out with the truth, and I have this real big problem with liars (that he knows of).

Literally. The wound is still fresh.

He says he loves me and just wants for me to be happy but he continues to talk about her everyday and how he feels bad and wants to hang out with her. His feelings for her only resurfaced for like a day or two but I'm scared that if he's with her again he'll start to like her again.

It doesn't help that he plans on hanging out with her at her house, since that's 'the only place'.

I just don't know what to do. Would you let him hang out with her if you were in my situation?

So I've lost about 25 pounds over the past year because I was tired of weighing so much and so far I've gotten compliments from my family and some friends calling me 'slender' but I know for a fact I'm not? I see a lot of fat when I look in the mirror and my BMI keeps ranging from 24.7-25.5 depending on the week. I'm a tall girl, 5'7, and I'm fourteen years old. I don't overeat anymore and I'm healthy, but I want to know whether I look too chunky to you?

Honestly I wouldn't even care about my weight if it wasn't for how tall I am...

(warning, some show a lot of skin...nothing too bad though.)

...soo yep. just want opinions.

So here's the problem:

Angle A has a measure of 75 degrees. The measure of angle B is 35% less than the measure of angle A. Angle C's measure is 10% smaller than the measure of angle b. What is the value is m<A + m<B + m<C?

I would like to know how I'd go about solving this, and the answer as well if you would please

Also, theres this:

Solve for x

1) 9x + 2(x - 2) = 11

2) (x - 2) + 2 = 14 - 2x

3) 7x + 2x + 5x - 2 - 7 = x + 15

4) x + 3x - 2 = 8x - 5

And I mean to the point where they actually try biting people, sucking blood from cuts, and avoiding the sunlight at all costs (wearing hoodies and putting on loads of sunscreen)

So, my parents (34 and 37) have been going out clubbing every weekend night (Friday-Sunday) for the past month and leaving my baby brother (2) and I (13) by ourselves either with our grandmother or just me. They stay out from 11-3am and I don't see them until next afternoon. Except for my dad, who works from 3-10, so I hardly see him at all.

At first, I was happy for them. They've never gone partying or done anything fun since they started parenting, and I know that us kids are really stressful. But now that it's been this constant and now that I've seen them bring in house parties and drunk guests, I don't want them to go out anymore. I've even told them this myself but they ignore me. I've said things like "I barely even see you guys anymore!" but they said that that's my own fault for staying in my room all the time before. I hate this so much. My grandma and I are in an agreement that they should go once a month, and not 3 times a week.

I don't know. I don't miss them that much honestly. I just don't want my baby brother to keep crying over it and for him to be raised bad if it continues (and it will). I also don't want to grow up with feelings of neglect because of this. School also prevents me from seeing them that much, with my mother working in the afternoon as well, and usually when I get home I go straight to sleep because of my insomnia preventing me from getting anymore than 4 hours of sleep per night (they don't believe that what I have is insomnia, so they refuse to get me treated)

It's just so ugh. My dad notices I've been talking more to them whenever I can, but my mom hasn't noticed. I don't know if this is normal or if it's something bad.

I was making a video via Windows Movie Maker while simultaneously listening to music on Youtube and chatting with a friend on my gmail when all of a sudden it froze and blanked out. I ended up restarting it by pressing the on/off button twice and it started up normally. But once it entered the log in page the screen blinked black 3 times then automatically logged in to a white screen. This happened 4 times.

On the fourth time, I tried pressing random buttons. FN+F4, FN+F5, FN+F3 and so forth. I somehow managed to get my screen working, and slowly icons started to appear. I restarted it normally.

Then once it started back up again, I was unable to use my mouse. The mouse pad would not work and I had to press enter to log into my laptop. I have a tablet so I was able to use that to move around, but then I decided it isn't worth it.

The outside of my laptop is pretty messed up too. 5 keys are missing and it is unacceptably dirty. But I think the problem is on the inside.

So, what should I do? I'm still covered by warranty. Right now I'm using my dads' computer to type this. I'm not sure what the problem with my laptop is, so I don't know if I can just get a new one or if I have to pay for repairs.

My laptop - Gateway, Windows 7.

I'm not sure if it only applies to fanfiction, but I remember seeing it in a few summaries of stories on fanfiction.net

It was categorized as horror, if that helps.

This is kind of long and may have several grammatical mistakes throughout it all. Feel free to press the back button or close this window. But I really need the help....

Ever since I was nine I've been on the internet. It started off as my just simply web-browsing and looking at videos. Then I started going on virtual worlds and now, four years later, I've been pretty much going on the computer all day and every day.

Because of this, my parents claim that I have no life. My mom says it, my dad says it, my older brother (who is, by the way, the one failing in school and only making it to college through an athletic scholarship. Did I mention everyone loves him even though he's a total douche to pretty much everyone in my family (with the exception of cousins) and goes around doing drugs and asking for money? Yeah, pretty ******* lovable) and my grandmother say it as well.

It gets annoying and I try not to let it depress me. But I can see where they are coming from - I hardly leave the house and I stay in my room. They probably want me to be some pretty athletic girl but I can't do that. I hate sports and I love arts - something they don't appreciate despite the fact that none of them are or ever where athletic. Hell they don't pay attention to big sports events like the Super Bowl or World Cup or whatever.

The only sport I enjoy doing is competitive cheerleading. I've done it for a year but quit after an incident in 4th grade. I want to get back in it but they don't agree. Instead, I'm in soccer and I'm way below my team.

What I enjoy doing I mostly do on the internet. I've gotten out of virtual worlds a month ago. Now, I just read and write fanfiction. I also draw graphic art and create AMV's. Isn't that enough of a life for me?

But no. Because my interests are different I have no life. I have plenty of friends in school and I get all A's and B's. My brother has plenty more friends and he gets D's and F's. Why do I always have to be secretly compared to him? Why do grades and goals not matter when we're matched up - only social status and physical physique?

I'm also insomniac - something my father doesn't believe in and also thinks that It's just me staying up online all night. I'd probably believe that to if I haven't been having trouble sleeping since 3rd grade - even before I started my computer-craze.

I now stay up all night until 10am then go to sleep and wake-up around 8pm.

So what should I do? I actually like my schedule. I like getting things done at night when no one is awake. I love looking out the window in the chilly time of 3am. And seeing the sun rise.

I don't love how my body has to make up for the hours and how I often feel drowsy during school. And how my parents react to it.

So what should I do? Should I change my life and goal around to fit my parents? Spend a little time outside where I live in a bad neighborhood and have no friends? Spend time with my parents even though they would much rather sit in front of our flatscreen television and watch novelas?

Or should I just give up and prove to them the real meaning of having 'no life'

I think I may have posed this question in a way that is confusing to some - but let me explain. I am trying to write a book for my own fun and feedback from others (online) but I can't seem to get pass the first page when writing. I just get stuck. I have everything planned out, and I know exactly what will happen next, but sometimes I just stare at the screen and can't seem to get my words to flow out.

It may be because of the character I am trying to portray and me trying a new writing style - third person. But either way, I was wondering what you would do in a time like this.

"Now I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm doing what I think is best. Don't question it because there's no point in trying, I won't change my mind.

I feel as if I'm not giving you enough attention and you don't seem to be too interested in me. I feel it's best if we go our own ways.

I know you'll hate me for this, but I'm doing what I think is right and what will have the best outcome in the end."

Obviously it means he no longer wants to be with me - I understand that. But there has to be something deeper than that...right?

My friend is having this problem with his keyboard. For example, whenever he tries to type ";" he gets an n with the accent mark over it instead. Help?

Not the lips of it, but the inside. The top half part is purely pink, but the bottom part of it is black. I am only 14, and this has been going on for a while, though I haven't payed much mind to it until now. I'm starting to worry, and considering telling my mother and going to the doctors, but I want to see if anybody knows what I might have and whether it is curable by self-care or not. Just so I can save the embarrassment.

If it helps, I have never been involved any sexual activity, so if it sounds like a sexually transmitted disease, then it is not.

What could these be sympthons for?

First, let me start by saying I knew what I was getting into when he told me he was bisexual.

We have been going out for only a few months, and we told each other everyday that we love each other. (This is a Long Distance Relationship btw.) Everything has been going great, we have a lot in common and really dig each other.

Or so I thought.. he disappeared for three weeks and the next time I talked with him he informed me he had sex with one of his friend's from school.

Of course it hurt. At that moment I just brushed it off and told him that I had flirted with a few other guys while he was away. But it wasn;t until I was talking with our friend Scott and he told me on what my bf had said - the sex was soo hot and his friend is soo sexy and plenty of other stuff I don't want to type - that I had completely fallen apart.

I don't know what to do.. he told me he didn't mean it and that he loved me.. but I'm just so broken right now. Should I break up with him or forgive and forget?

Excluding Harriet Tubman, Soyoner Truth, and Fredrick Douglass. Iv'e been searching all over google for someone, and have had no luck.

I just need a name, so that I could do my own research. This is for my World Culture's class in school.

I made a presentation (sort-of like a power point I guess) and showed my family, and now my grandmother wants me to burn it on a CD for her. I was wondering what file format does it need to be in order to be burned on a CD and viewed through a DVD? I used Open Office to make the presentation.

So I've been crushing on this guy for about a year now, and I really want to tell him that I like him, and I want to do it before one of the assholes I call 'friends' tell him or before it's too late and he moves on. I'm a bit taller than him, so that could make some things awkward, but honestly that's the least of my concerns. I know there are a lot of other girls who like him, and he probably likes them back, but I want to tell him that I like him so that he knows I'm confident and brave and obviously told him for a reason. However, I can't do that until I know for sure he likes me back. Here might be a few hints:

He usually hangs out with his group of friends, mostly all girls but a few guys too. I am friends with all of his friends (with the exception of a few) and can already tell who's most likely into him and who's not. It's mostly everyone.

All those girls he's known since Kindergarten, where-as I've known him since Fourth grade but didn't talk with him until Sixth grade. I'm in Seventh grade now.

Every time I look at him, I look straight in his eyes and he looks straight in mine.

Sometimes he would poke me or jab me with his thumb, maybe bruise me, but only if we're playing around. We'd get into stupid kick fights sometimes, which is actually quite fun :).

But he'd never separate from his friends to go over to the group of my friends (i'm mostly friends with everybody) just to talk with me.

Last time he asked me for a pen and I gave it to him...he could of asked anybody else.

We don't call each other, or talk online that much, or anything, and even though we both have Facebook with a few of our other friends, he never chats with me personally or comments on pictures or anything whereas he'd do that to our other 'girl' friends.

I'm not sure if he likes me. The only time I sit next to him would be at the end of the day, during Social studies, where our desks would be a few feet away from each other. Or in Language Arts where his table would be across from me. I don't sit with him during Lunch even though I would really like to.

He knows that I like him, or so thats what one of my not-so-assholish friends told me. But I want him to hear it from me even though I have stupidly-shy-syndrome.

Yesssh, I have yet ANOTHER Sims 3 problem --

So recently, iv'e been having to buy more sinks and sell previous ones because my sinks aren't working.

Usually when I select >Sink an option shows up for >Wash Hands

But if I were to finish eating a meal and select >Wash Dishes it doesn't do it. My sim just stares off into space with the plate in his hand.

And just a few minutes ago I decided to sell one of the sinks I have and buy a new one (I would of sold both but one of them is unable to sell for some reason,) And once I did, I received a message right after saying "You have violated the (somethingsomething) rules, please have your fire extinguisher ready"

I got paranoid a bit.

Also, once I was back to playing the game, I was only able to wash a dish once and thats it. When a switched off to another sim, it stayed the same as it was before I brought a new sink.

Please help? :)
