I'll try to keep it as short as possible.

I don't want to go to college, I never had the option to. It was decided for me, by my parents of course. I'm bullied at home, so dropping out and moving home is no option, especially since I would be taunted every day by my parents. I've always hated school. I'm very intelligent; I just never saw the need to memorize the process of binary fission or the quadratic formula. It is not something I need. My plans after college are to become a bartender. I have no need working in an office for a huge corporation.

The problem is, my parents would not be accepting of it. My mom would be more accepting of me killing myself than of dropping out of college. Oh, what a disgrace.

The way I would do it is, drop out, my mom no longer would pay for anything, lessening her financial burden, I would get an apartment (possibly move in with my boyfriend) and get a job or more than one. That is most likely what I would do after college anyways.

My main goal is to be happy and I'm not one bit happy here. Any opinion, suggestions, questions, etc. is helpful. Thank you.

I plan on dying my hair a dark purple over my brown hair, and not bleaching it. My mom, in an attempt to get me not to do it, said that if I dye my hair crazy colors, I can never get it back to brown until my hair grows out, even if I just dye it dark brown over it. Can anyone verify this?

For a long time, I've been planning to get a tattoo somewhere, because I've always been obsessed with them. I want "Black clouds are behind me, I now can see ahead" in cursive on my ribs. She doesn't know that's what I want, and personally I don't plan on telling her, because it's a quote that's personal to me, and she'd just make fun of me for it.

We were talking about birthmarks and she said "That's where the angels kissed you" which completely denies my religious beliefs, which she knows of, so that already upset me, and then she said, "Your birthmark can be your tattoo." and then she went on to say, "Well as long as I'm paying for your stuff you're not getting one."

However, I'm getting my tattoo no matter what. I've had way too much negativity in my life and I need something positive and personal, so why not? I'm just wondering what you think about the situation and why you think she'd threaten that. Thanks.

Yes, you would think that I would know the answer since it seems pretty self explanatory. But I judge myself so harshly. I over-criticize everything I do (except in looks) such as school work or anything I complete really.

The reason I do this is because in the past, I was never good enough to my parents. Also I was judged harshly by other people and it always got to me. So now I just judge myself and beat myself up all the time so other people can't do it. It doesn't hurt as much when I hurt my own feelings. However, it's gotten to the point where I don't think ANYTHING I do is good enough. As soon as I feel like I actually did something right, that isn't right. Really I just think everything I do is unacceptable.

I feel like this is some kind of mental disorder almost. It's weird because a lot of people that do this are depressed, but I'm okay. I'm not sad at all about doing anything. It's like I accepted the fact that I'm not good enough, and then I moved on.

Feedback? What do you think?

I'm getting a tattoo of the Bob Dylan song title, "Don't think twice it's (all right or alright)" in script on my upper thigh. However, I don't want to put the wrong form of the word. On Bob Dylan's album, he puts All Right, but I'm used to saying it as alright. Basically, I just don't want to embarrass myself and deal with a grammar error for the rest of my life.

Bonus: Should I get it on the front of my thigh like this http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ac/ad/cb/ac... or on the side of my thigh like this http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/08/1c/52/08...

Bonus bonus: How high up on my thigh should I have it placed?

I'm not sure why my parents dislike tattoos, and to be honest I'm kind of afraid to ask them why. However I think that if I did get the tattoo I plan to get, they might be okay with it. It's basically a Bob Dylan quote that says "Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain" either on my ribs, back, or thigh. I'm leaning toward the ribs even though I don't know if I'll be able to endure the pain. My dad is a huge fan of Bob Dylan (as am I) and I think he would like that my first tattoo is of Bob Dylan. My mom hates Bob Dylan but I think she would be okay with the fact that it's going to be a hidden tattoo, so it won't prevent me from getting a teaching career since that's what I plan to do.

Basically do you think my parents would still disapprove of it? I can't get it until the end of May since that's when I turn 18.

Basically I'm getting this tattoo http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/f5/38/6d...

But I can't decide where to get it.

And before you call me unoriginal, I've actually loved this quote for a long long time, and I've always loved Tolkien. I chose that certain one though because I've always loved the font and it's a great quote. So I can admit that it is a bit unoriginal as I didn't draw it myself, but it does have personal meaning to me.

With that said, I'm really slim, and the tattoo needs to be hidden with clothes. So my options basically are thighs, back, ribs and sides. Let me know what you think I should do, I've considered all of them equally. Give pros and cons for each if you want. Thanks

I've been thinking about getting my navel pierced, but I don't think I have the right "kind" of belly button. It's an innie but it's also an outie. Sorry if this is really weird but I took a picture since I can't really describe it https://sphotos-a-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/11...

Yeah this is weird. Anyways I would only want an upper vertical navel piercing, I wouldn't want one through the actual nub thing. So I don't know if it would look weird or not..

Just let me know if I should actually do it or if it would look weird, thanks

I'm currently in Freshman Comp and I have to choose between 3 books to read, those books including:

"The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood

"1984" by George Orwell

or "Brave New World" by Huxley

If you've read any or all of these books, please tell me how you like it/them, so I can make my decision. Thanks.

I go to a public school and today in my Creative Writing class, we were given a set of questions we had to ask other people. Basically we all got the same sheet and gave our "partner" our answers for them to write down. (Writing this out, I feel like I'm in a 12 year old class, when I'm actually a senior...)

Anyways, one of the questions said, "If God could answer one of your questions, what would you ask Him?"

Personally I got very offended by the question, being an atheist. My partner was actually agnostic and there was another girl who practiced Hinduism in my class, too.

Am I trying to get my teacher fired? No. I'm just wondering if this is acceptable in a public school? It's been bothering me all day.

I'm trying to comprise a weekly workout schedule so I can develop a routine and stick to it. I do mostly strength exercises but I'm willing to do a bit of cardio. I'm just wondering what everyone else does for a few ideas on mine. Thanks.

I just calculated my BMI, I'm 17, female, 5'8 and 120 pounds. I've been gaining weight (last year I was 10 pounds less, I guess my metabolism is lowering) but I think I'm still underweight. Does this still make me "skinny"?

I currently have an iPhone 4 with 8 gb and an iPod touch with 64 gb. The screen on my ipod is completely white--yes I did look up how to fix, I restored it once and reset it numerous times. 8 gb doesn't seem to be enough for me because I always find myself having to delete apps and pictures to even take one picture.

I was wondering what you think would be the cheaper alternative? I would probably get an iPhone 5 by the way (I can't upgrade until either December or May)

Also, I'm paying for everything myself! This isn't something my parents or anyone else would buy, so don't call me a brat!

I'm having my pictures taken OUTSIDE at 8:30 next week, and I need ideas for my hair, makeup, jewelry (if needed) and shoes.

The dress I'm wearing is here:

The humidity is usually 100%, but I'm not completely sure of the weather. However, my hair frizzes easily and doesn't stay straight for over ten minutes, even though that's how it looks best. My hair in the picture is how it's worn naturally, but I don't think it looks very good. Ideas?

And for shoes, anything is acceptable except heels or wedges.

Thanks for anything you can pitch out there.

I'm writing a book for my ten year old cousin (she's at a college reading level so it's okay) and I'm wondering if anyone thinks it's stupid. If so, why? I'm sure it seems very unoriginal and weird. I just get random ideas and unleash them in writing. So one chapter could be about something and the next chapter could be completely different, but it ties together.

For background, I started writing it when I was twelve, and re-reading it, I decided to change it, so I edited the writing and then posted it on the blog so my cousin could get easy access to it.

You don't have to read all of chapter one even, but it'd make my day to get a few opinions on it. Thanks!!

I am subscribed to Secretlifeofabionerd, ThreadBanger, and DazzleDIY. If you know of any more DIY channels, that'd be great.

Also, I don't mean beauty channels with maybe one or two DIY videos. If it's mostly DIY, then you can list it! Thanks!

On Christmas I got money and decided to buy the Sims 3, but I bought the downloadable version so I wouldn't have to wait to get the disk. It worked fine and I decided to try to get mods, which I didn't know much about. They didn't work and I tried deleting them from my computer but they were really weird names. However, I did get a virus, so I deleted the sims 3 and origin from my computer. The virus is gone, but I was wondering what may have given me the virus... It said it was Sims 3 that did it, but I think it may have been the mods.

People also have been saying you won't get a virus if you have the disk. I don't have the disk though, I bought it legally from the Sims 3 site.

I started really liking this guy a few weeks ago (known him since August 2011) and I had a dream about him twice. Since I didn't write down any of the details I can only vaguely remember some parts. But I'll tell you as much as I can.

In the first one when I first started liking him, we were in this place and I was with my best friend who also knows him. It had two or three rows of lawn chairs in this giant room. My friend and I sat in the first row and he and his friend (not sure who she is) sat directly behind us. I could feel his hands touching my face from behind, and I didn't really react. I liked his hands on my face. I did turn around and look at him and his friend said something. I can't quite remember but I turned back around and he continued touching my face. Later in the dream we were in a dark lit room with some other guy and he said "You're too good for me," and things like that. The rest I can't remember.

I had another dream last night. In the beginning my friend and I were in my high school gym and he was in there also with a girl who is now his ex girlfriend. He kissed her and then looked at me. I didn't react. Then the next thing happened. We were in this room the size of a half bathroom and all that was in the room was a closet. We went to the corner and I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him but when I looked up I was kissing a teddy bear. Also inside the closet were a ton of clowns. Plush clowns. I'm afraid of clowns.

If you can interpret what these mean that would help a lot! Thanks.

My mom used to tan in a bed a lot for vacations and such and I used to use self tanner. I never really exfoliated as often as I should've so it never looked good and I got tired of it and decided to try tanning in a bed. I thought about it for a good 3 weeks though. I knew she'd be okay with it. So anyways on Saturday we got this coupon for a free week, so I didn't pay for anything except my bronzer which was $20. And now that it's Tuesday I decided that I would get a dark tan and be healthy if I just used self tanner, but she says that bed tanning would be cheaper. Tanning beds don't scare me, I just don't want to take risks of having gross skin when I'm 20. What should I tell her?

So there was this guy who I'm pretty sure liked me last school year, he told me I have cute freckles and liked talking to me. In October however my friend got on my Facebook and messaged him "hey I like u" and then I immediately told him after that that I didn't write that, because I didn't. He understood and we hadn't talked since then. This school year we have 2 classes together but sit on opposite sides of the room so we don't really talk, but I catch him looking at me a lot. I said hi on Saturday over Facebook and he didn't reply and all of a sudden stopped liking my statuses and really stopped looking at me. What do you think happened? I just want to get his attention or something.
