I started working at target recently and I have grown to hate it. After asking for time off, and getting it approved, they scheduled over it and then said I had to find someone to cover my shift. I am getting 25 to 30 hours a week while being in high school and having a 8 hour school day. I don't study anymore because I am always working.

I really like having the extra money because it is my senior year and I get to pay for extra things, but I don't have any time to do any of those things because I am always working. Next week, I have finals and after asking to not work the week days my manager continued to schedule me every day of the week.

My co-worker has been reporting me to my manager since they don't like me and I've already been talked to about working. I work in food service so if I need to switch shifts there are only five other people to switch with and most of the time I can't and I'm screwed.

Target is taking over my life. I feel like quitting after two months is not the right thing to do, but I don't even know how much longer I can handle it.

Opinions on if I should quit and how exactly I go about it?

Basically, my best friend is having a party and it is a 20's murder mystery theme. Everyone who is going has to be dressed up in a costume for that time period or else you are not aloud to go. Well, currently she is looking at costumes that are 50 dollars and up. We have to buy our own costumes for her party and then she wants us to be in a variety of dances. Not that I have a problem with that, but it requires having to buy shoes as well. Then, I said I might just get mine from Walmart cause the costumes were only 15 dollars. She started saying that Walmart is cheap and dirty so she knows I shop there which could be taken in multiple ways. Then, I have to go onto explain a lot of people shop there and she keeps knocking me down. She is completely against Ross where I shop, and she only shops at the more expensive stores. It doesn't seem like she understands the economy or that everyone is on a tight budget and most of all, it seems as if she doesn't understand the value of a dollar. I don't know what to do. Should I get the costume or let it pass or what? I really need help and at the moment I don't know who to ask, please help.

Ok, so for my birthday party I wanted to have a black light party and I can't find any inexpensive paints or stuff like that. Anyone know any places, either online or off? Also, it doesn't have to be made for blacklight, it just has to look really cool and glow under the black light.

So, one of my best male friends just came out gay. I am trying to support him and all, but he is making it really hard to. The reason for that is that he decided that he is bi curious about a month again. Then, last week, he changed to being completely gay. It seems to me like he is deciding to fast, and he is telling everyone as soon as he thought he was. I mean posting it on facebook telling everyone. His reasoning for changing from bi curious to gay was that he looked at male porn and got turned on while he looked at females and didn't. We are in high school so nothing is set in place, but the reason I am having a hard time is because he is the person who tends to exaggerate, make things worse than they really are or take a situation and think about it to the extreme. I accept him for who he is, but is it wrong for me to have this doubt?

Then one of my other close friends, a girl, they have been on and off for the last year. She said this was a shock to her as well. She is thinking the same thing I am. Also, he won't stop talking to her about his new found feelings and how sorry he is for leaving her in the dust. About a two weeks before he decided he was bi, he said he was in love with her. Also, that lesbians making out was hot and so on with that. It just seems to me he is deciding really quickly and I'm worried for his sake cause he is indecisive and backs out of commitment. What should I do? Should I bring this up to him? Should I just be supportive and not voice any of these doubts? I'm confused on how to approach the situation because this has never happened to me before and he seemed like he was completely straight until he suddenly said that he isn't.

Basically, this year I didn't take Algebra 2/ Trig Honors and I really want to take AP Calculus AB and BC. So, is it a good idea? I am really good at math and have always gotten A's. It would be online at BYU, so what do you think?

I just started with tapers/gages and I started with a size 14g and it is the third night with them and they are bleeding. Size 14 isn't large at all and it is as far as I am willing too go up, but what should I do? I put neosporin in the holes (I put it on the actual thing that goes through your ear and so that way the neosporin would go in). Should I take them out, and will they heal?

I have a portable DVD player, but it always needs a charge. Soon I will be in line for hours and I would like to bring it to watch DVDs. The problem is that I can't charge it with batteries, but I can plug into a outlet. I was wondering whether or not there is such a thing as a portable outlet that i can charge with batteries so that way when I am in line, I can use it. The line would be this thursday, so it would have to be available somewhere that is local. The main question is, is there something like that? It would have to last for 12 hours, but I could always buy more batteries.

So there is this guy I like, but he asked out one of my good friends and she said no, but I know she still likes him and I also know that he is thinking of asking me out... but the problem is should I say yes even though my friend still likes him.... my conscious is telling me you shouldn't but my heart is telling me other wize.
