Relationship help?
This will be extremely long.
This guy and I had been in a long distance relationship for well over a year, but he cheated on my around the 9 moths mark, and we broke up. We got back together a month-ish later, but broke up about 5 months after that because my school work got really piled up and didn't have much time for him - he felt I was neglecting him, so he ended it. We aren't dating again, but we planned on it after we were both finished high school which is about a year away. As you can probably guess, we've had sex many times. Back story, I was raped and abused by my step-father when I was younger, so it is a very sensitive thing to me. Opening up to him was one of the hardest things I did, but he completely accepted me and is careful about the things we do - which I appreciate a lot.
Now, I have a friend who is extremely depressed because of the situation he is in with his father. He said he's liked me ever since we met, which was around 8 months ago. He's taken a lot of time off of school because of his depression, so whenever we do get to see each other, I get antsy and nervous. I feel like I like him, but I don't know if I can think about having a future with him. Every time I think about it, I think about sex and marriage and I don't know if I can tell another person about my past because I know if we are together, then I will eventually have to.
(I'll say more in the details because I've run out of space.)
2 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoVoicemail on Galaxy s3 is killing my battery! Help?
So sometimes my battery would go from 90% at night and drop down to 10% or even lower. Yesterday, my step mom helped me set up a voicemail service. Now when I went to check what killed my battery, it was the voicemail. It had drained my battery from 90 something % to 15%. I don't know how to disable it. I don't need voicemail, my step mom was just trying to show me how to do it, but I only call maybe 2 people, so personally, there is no need. Is there a way to disable it or even delete it?

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans7 years agoHow would I go about becoming an editor?
I'm going into my last year of high school at the end of this term, and I am seriously terrified of my post secondary education. I've done a bunch of research about the qualifications to become an editor, but it is all extremely vague information.
1. I've read a few times, that you need a journalism or English degree to become an editor. I've also read that you need a degree in an actual editing and publishing program. Could this be clarified?
2. I'm in University level English, but I'm not sure if going to University would be better than going to College because of the career path that I want to pursuit. I'm also a bit concerned with the financial part of post secondary education. Does University cost more? Are the programs longer?
3. I know there are tonnes of different types of editors. The field I'm aiming for is, maybe not literature, but more free - kind of. Suggestions maybe?
4. I'm enrolled in a writer's craft course for my grade 12 year. Do you think this will help?
5. Is there anything that I can do with my last year of high school that will somehow amplify my abilities, or even confidence for going into College/University?
I've been thinking about becoming an editor since my second year of high school after my interest in being a teacher was crushed. I have the burning desire to help and inspire people, hence why I wanted to be a teacher. After thinking, I feel like an editor is more suited to my personality, but I have so many questions. I've tried to go to my guidance counselors in my grade 10 year, but they literally told me to just think about it myself, and that, as you can see, has gotten me no where.
Thank you so much in advance.
2 AnswersMedia & Journalism7 years agoNeed help with a fundraiser?
My school is fundraising for 5 months. The month my group is doing is January, so it's coming up pretty soon. My group consists of 7 people, and only me, and 2 others are actually taking initiative.
We're doing a Busker Fest, where we're going to preform our talents at lunch, in the hallways, near the office, in the mornings, etc. for a week. So far we have singing, drawing portraits and playing guitar. All of that stuff is taken care of, but what the problem is, is that no one will actually start anything.
I've made some cards with advertising and recruiting, but that's about it. I'm trying to make posters, but I don't know what to put on them. I'm also going to put together some announcements, but that's all we have planned.
I'm so stressed, because we haven't had any meeting to discuss things because everyone bails when the time comes. I've only ever communicated with a few people over the phone and facebook. I've tried to at school, but half of my group has co-op in the afternoon, so we can't meet at lunch. The others aren't very reliable to show up at school, and the only other person who is, is one I'm not in the best situation with right now.
I need some serious advice as to how to get this going and get everyone helping. Some advertising ideas would be helpful, too. Anything you can think of that you think could help me in any way will be greatly appreciated.
I'm planning to ask for help from my teacher, as well.
Thank you in advance.
1 AnswerGovernment & Non-Profit7 years agoI want to learn the violin, but I have some questions?
I'm a little familiar with the music scale, but the last I actually learned with it was in grade 8, and I'm now in grade 11. I play guitar, but I learn from tabs and my brother.
1. Is the violin difficult to learn?
2. I don't think I can get lessons, so can it be self taught?
3. What is the price range? I don't want an expensive violin, as I would just be starting out.
4. Are there any sites that I can use as references or something?
Thank you in advance.
1 AnswerClassical7 years agoHow to enable wireless connection on HP Truevision HD Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC?
My sister got a laptop, and the wireless is disabled. I've tried everything I can, and I've gotten pretty close to solving it, but nothing worked. I tried to look up some solutions from my computer, but again, nothing helped.
I went into Control Panel and looked at the Network and Connection tab, just says there is no connection. I tried Device manager, but everything was fine. I also went into 'Change Adapter Settings, but it said it was enabled.
I went into the Windows Mobility Center and the Mobile Assistant thing, but the button for turning on wireless is blocked, like it won't let me click it.
http://i.imgur.com/c2aQebk.png this is a screenshot of what I get when I go into the Mobility Center.
Anyone have a solution?
4 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks7 years agoBaby Think it Over project help?
So, in my parenting class, we're supposed to do the Baby Think it Over thing, where you take home a robotic baby for 3 days. I missed the day that my teacher explained it, so when I got to school and saw everyone already knowing how to use it, I was like o.o I asked my friend about it, and she said the teacher showed a video. So I asked my teacher if I could borrow said video, and she said she didn't have it anymore, but it could probably be found online. So I looked. And looked and looked and I can't find anything.
Long story short, I need someone who has used it before to answer some questions.
1. How do I know what it wants when it cries? The options were to be rocked, fed, burped or changed I think.
2. There's an ID card and a sensor thing that you have to use. My friend told me that you have to swipe the sensor on the baby with your ID card before you do anything when it cries. Is there anything more to that?
3. I take the bus home from school, so is it okay if I just hold it? I don't want to have to go on kijiji and get a car seat if I don't have to. x)
4. What if I don't wake up when it cries during the night? Can I turn the volume up or something?
5. We're not supposed to sleep with it in our beds, so I was thinking I could just get a laundry basket and put a few blankets in it. Any other ideas?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. (:
1 AnswerParenting8 years agoI'm bored with my life, but I'm scared to do anything about it?
My routine every day is go to school, come home, sleep for a few hours, eat, read or something, then sleep again and wait for the next day to come. I mean, I try to get into some things that interest me, such as drawing, but whenever I pick up a pencil, I go blank. I don't know what to draw, then I'm suddenly upset and don't want to draw anymore. It's the same with my guitar. I'll hold it in an attempt to play or learn something new, but I just get bored.
Recently, I got back together with my long-distance ex. I should be happy. I am happy, but not as much as I should be. Sometimes I get really happy and it's like bliss when I talk to him, but other times, I just want him to leave me alone. I just feel so down and I don't want to tell him that because he'll just ask me what's wrong, and how am I supposed to answer that when I don't know the reason myself?
Lately, I've been finding myself questioning existence. Not in a suicidal way, but just thoughts like, "why am I even alive when I'm not doing anything in my life?" or "What's the point of living if there's nothing to live for?" Things like that. I'm just so confused and whenever I try to come to a conclusion, I get even more frustrated with myself. I feel so lost.
Another thing. I don't like being near people. I hang out in my house or my room when I'm not at school. Even if I'm at school, i tend to avoid mostly everyone. It's not like I have no friends - I do. I just don't like leaving my house for some reason. My friends will ask me to hang out with them, and I'll turn them down because I just want to go home most of the time. I mean, I have hung out with them, I just feel out of place when I do. I've had a sleep over a few times, but I always get a bad feeling in my stomach, so I go to sleep and then end up leaving early the next day. It's terrible how many times I say I don't want to hang out with them, or how many times I say things like, "I'm busy today." Sometimes they (metaphorically) drag me out of my room to do something outside.
Long story short, I just feel so empty and lost. I feel uncomfortable and out of place when I'm near people. I'm confused as to what I should do in my life, and it's kept me in a depressed-like mood for a while now. I need some advice. Anything. Thank you for reading this.
4 AnswersMental Health8 years agoTrying to learn sheet music for the guitar?
I understand the staff, EGBDF and FACE. I get that. What I don't get is how you put the notes from the staff onto the strings and frets of the guitar. I have only ever learned from tabs, but now that I'm in the guitar club at my school, sheet music is all they have, so I have to learn it.
I'm so confused, like the first fret on the high e string is F, but how. Then the 3rd fret on the same string is G? I don't get that stuff at all. Any help is appreciated. I've tried about 10 websites but they only give me crap about the staff.
2 AnswersClassical8 years agoGot a piano for my birthday, how do I start to learn?

Anything will help.
1 AnswerPerforming Arts8 years agoMy boyfriend is cheating on me...?
We've been together for almost a year in a long-distance relationship. He gave me his facebook password, so I went on. I saw a girl messaged him pretty much saying that he's cheated with her. She was saying like, "after you did that to me, you say you wanna be friends still, even though you have a girlfriend. you said you didn't even love her anymore" etc etc. Then another one with the girl's friend. Her friend said, "you should be ashamed about showering with (girl he cheated on me with) then telling her you just want to be friends. I can't believe you did that ****, and lead her on all year when you're in a relationship. i feel bad for your girlfriend, you don't deserve (girl's name) or (me). you disrespect girls, " blah blah, etc.
I don't know how to tell him that I know. I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who isn't faithful, but after all the time I've given him, I don't know what to do. I want to end it because he literally betrayed me, but he's been so good to me and my family. We were extremely good friends for 3 years before we dated, and I don't know if I can throw that all away.
I found out about 3 hours ago. He called me like an hour earlier saying how much he loved me and missed me, etc. and now I don't know if he's telling the truth. sdakfbh I need advice. About anything involving this situation. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
4 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoI want an anime themed bedroom, help?
My family moved into this house last November, and have been planning to paint the walls once renovations are finished. While those are still being finished, I want to plan out my room. I love anime with all my heart, so I want my bedroom to show that. I'm fairly good at drawing anime styled, so I'm going to do it myself, but I need ideas on how to create this.
I have no idea how I'm setting it up at all. I want my favourite characters to be on the walls, but where would I put them? I also have furniture in my room that will block parts of 2 walls. Maybe I can paint a building or a rock in place of any characters so they're not covered by my furniture.
The anime's I want on the walls.
- Bleach
- Naruto
- Vampire Knight
- Ao No Exorcist
- Death Note
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Black Butler
- Code Geass
- Ouran Highschool Host Club
- Durarara
- Inuyasha
And manga I want as well, I'll just colour the characters.
- Loveless
- Fruits Basket
- Ookami no Monshou
I'm going to have several characters from each anime, so maybe I should do an anime in one area, then another anime in a different area. I'm not sure how big the characters are going to be, I'll have to decide it when I figure out exactly how many I'm doing. I can put characters that fly on the upper half of the walls.
Can someone help or give ideas?

1 AnswerOther - Arts & Humanities8 years agoWhat do I do, I have a bladder infection?
I realize that I have to go see my doctor. I told my mom that it hurts when I pee, and she listed a few more symptoms that I have, so I know it's a bladder infection. Now, she asked me if I had done anything with my boyfriend recently, to which I replied 'no'. I did, but she doesn't need to know my private lifer with him. Anyway, I was wondering if, when I pee in the little cup, will they know HOW I got the infection? I don't think it's from him. I researched some of the causes, and they were; stress, anxiety, one also happens to be sex, dehydration, your diet, etc. And to be honest, I am kind of stressed and now eating the best because of my family's situation and other things.
Anyway, TL;DR, will the doctor be able to know HOW I got the infection, ie) from sex or my diet. etc.
2 AnswersInfectious Diseases8 years ago(Longish) Why am I feeling like this?
I'm 16 years old, female.
Lately, I've been feeling really down. I mean, I was never the happiest person in the world, but for the last few weeks, I feel even more worse than usual. I usually have at least some motivation to do things. I'm sure people can probably relate, but you know that feeling where you just want to sleep and not have to think about anything? To not have to open your eyes and deal with things? You just want to sleep. To get away from people and just sleep. I feel like this often. I didn't used to feel like this.
I like being alone, it's just my character. So I usually draw or read a book. But, every time I pick up my sketch pad and pencil, or my book, I just lose all of my motivation to start. I'll just sit in my room, or out on the deck and stare at nothing. Not thinking about anything. Just sitting there. I'm also having some trouble sleeping, but I always have. I'll lie in bed for an hour or so before I fall asleep.
I have a boyfriend who I have been in a long distance relationship with for 9 months. I was pretty happy that we were together, as we were close friends before we started a relationship. He's the best boyfriend I've had, granted I've only had a few. Anyway, sometimes I feel uneasy when I talk to him. Like I feel... off when we're on the phone or through text. He has also mentioned to me a few times that I'm acting differently. I don't know if it's actually me or if it's something else.
I'm glad that it's summer because I really don't know if I could get myself up in the morning to go to school anymore. I get really upset when I have to think about my future. I've asked my brothers how they came to choose their jobs. They didn't give me much. I've talked with my mom about it many times too, but she tells me the same thing each time. "You have plenty of time to think about it, don't worry." Well, I do worry. I worry if I can really make it in the future. What if I go to college or university for something and it ends up being a waste? How can I support a family and myself if I don't have the confidence or resolve to even believe in myself? I don't know what kind of job would suit me. I don't know what I could see myself as at all, either. When I try imagining myself 10 years, 5 years, even 2 years from now, nothing comes. How can I be successful feeling like this.
I believe everyone may feel like this at some point, because I know it's not just me.
Any advice?
1 AnswerPsychology8 years agoWhat is this art style/technique called?
Take a face, for example. It would consist of 2 colours, most likely with a lot of contrast such as black and white. Part of the face would be one colour, then other parts, would be drawn with the other. Like, the whole picture would flow together, the colours emphasizing the other, but you can still recognize the face in it.
I'm not really sure what else to put.
Something like these:

3 AnswersComics & Animation8 years agoShould I get a drawing tablet?
I'm looking into getting a drawing tablet because I draw most of the time, but I'm getting kind of bored with just pencil, pen, etc. I do draw on the computer using Paint Tool Sai, but I use my mouse and it gets irritating.
I'm only 15, so I don't have a job or an allowance. I'm planning on asking for one for my birthday, maybe. If not, I'll just wait until I get a job to pay for it.
Anyways. I need to know what kind there are. I've heard of a bamboo tablet and they're supposed to be good and cheapish. What is the price range? Are there better ones that aren't very expensive?
Any advice is appreciated.
