Ever since I was little my mom would swear at my brother, my dad, and I. She picks fights at the smallest things and she doesn't seem to realize that she's causing everyone's misery. My mom is so degrading and belittling, I feel like that's the reason why I'm introverted. Ever since day one she's never let me voice out my own opinion, and so this is reflected on the way I act in public and around people. I've been raised in a way that has taught me that my questions are stupid therefore I don't ask questions anymore. My brother moved out when he went to university, he tells my mom it's because he doesn't like commuting to a different city, but he told me it's because by living by himself in the city he's able to meet people and discover that his opinion matters. Even my mom has noticed how he became an extrovert when he went to university, but she doesn't realize that it's because he isn't living in the same roof as her where she belittles everyone 24/7. She's always swearing and blaming people for accidents, or things that normal people wouldn't make a big deal about in the first place. She's always on edge because she doesn't trust the world, and she has told me those exact words. I have tried to have multiple conversations with her trying to sort out this issue, but there are just some people who you can't get through to. I'm 16 now, what should I do?

My mom has a very cocky personality. She thinks she's good with words and people, she knows how people work, the big picture is she is very very cocky and she thinks she knows everything.

The only thing she isn't cocky about is how she looks, she is a little chubby and when I told her that she's very cocky, she said 'I know I am.' (Proudly) and then said 'My personality is the only thing I have so I have to flaunt it.' (And she DOES.) there's never ever winning an argument with her, you will never ever win. She will make sure you don't win. She will yell at me for everything and pick a fight about the littlest things and give me half an hour lectures.

What do I do? I just hate how cocky people can be, and it annoys me. And when she knows she's wrong about something, she won't say sorry or say you're right, she'll try and point out something you said which was wrong or say 'You know what? You're so thick sometimes! It's so hard to deal with you!' Then storm out of the room and eventually I'll be the one to go and apologize even if I did nothing wrong (btw I have never in my life heard her apologize to anyone).

Also lately she's been forgetting things, for example she'll give me a bucket of clothes to fold and I'll fold them then she'll give me another bucket the next day and then say 'You haven't folded the clothes in 2 days! You're so lazy, you think I don't notice?!' And when I try to explain to her that she gave me a bucket yesterday and today, she won't believe me.

What do I do?

I have pretty long hair (until about my waist, not my hips) it's curly and whenever I take a shower (I usually air dry it) and it takes literally a day to dry. When I try blow drying it, it takes an hour or so if I need to dry it completely, (but I don't like blow drying it because since it's curly and thick, it gets really poofy and thicker and frizzy that's why I usually tie it into a braid, spray some hairspray on it and let it dry for the day, but now I need to wash my hair and it needs to be dry for tomorrow morning. What do I do?

I have an Acer Aspire One laptop, and I think it got a virus a few months ago, so I was unable to open up ANYTHING on it, including things like Notepad, Internet, Games ANYTHING. I don't remember downloading anything though...

Anyway is there a way to wipe it out so it would start like it was new?

I've tried taking the battery out and coming back an hour later, and I've also tried clicking ALT+F10 at the same time at startup, but nothing worked.

It doesn't have a CD/DVD slot to put anything in, so I couldn't have gotten a reboot disc thing when I got it.

My desktop shows all the icons and it shows the background I set it, but if you click anything like for example, Internet Explorer, it says 'iexplore.exe can not start.

I think it's because of the virus, but is there any way to wipe out the computer or take the virus away? Because I tried fixing the virus, but I need a registration email and key to do so, but I don't have one.

HELP!!???

I edited this video on Windows Movie Maker, and saved it to my computer. Usually I use 'Any Video Converter' to convert my videos so it can work on a Mac Computer, but unfortunately I don't usually use Windows Movie Maker, and so whenever I edit videos, I use VideoPad Video Editor, but ALL my videos on Windows Movie Maker DON'T SHOW when I look for it to select.

The videos show in my documents, but not when I want to convert it.

I want the video which I made on Windows Movie Maker to work on a Mac Computer.
