Is "Looking for Alaska" by John Green a good book?
Personally I have heard some good things about it, as well as the book "the fault in our stars". Are they worth reading?
5 AnswersBooks & Authors7 years agoIs an English major really as useless as everyone says it is?
So i'm really starting to look into careers and on almost every website I check, people say it's as useless as a can and string. The thing is, I love English and i'm not sure if I should pursue it...
3 AnswersTeaching7 years agoIs what i'm doing wrong...?
Alright so once upon a time I had a best friend. We met each other in grade 7. At first she didn't like me but for some reason I liked her and wanted to become her friend. She was really rude sometimes and didn't stick up for me (I was bullied a lot). After a while she got used to me and we began to hangout and go over to each other's houses.We became best friends and told each other everything, went to each others birthdays etc
In grade 8, nothing could split us apart, we were conjoined at the side. However, I had always felt as if I were putting more into the friendship than she was. I'd do anything for her but knew she wouldnt do the same. Going to different high schools hardly drew us apart. When something big happened, the other would be the first to know through text. We are now in grade 10 and hardly talk. In September I decided to try something. Realizing im always the first to text or call her I decided to see just how long it would be before she texted/called me. It's been nearly 3 months. She has texted me a few times and called once. I guess when someone doesn't talk to you for 3 months and forgets your birthday in that time, sorta draws you away from them
I don't know what to do. Thinking about everything that's happened...she isn't really much of a best friend. Should I text back?
1 AnswerFriends7 years agoExcuses to talk to the guy you like?
I feel like the most cliche loser in the world posting this but idk what to do. There's this guy who I like and he's so shy. I have english with him and i've literally only heard him talk 2 times. Once when the teacher was picking random people to read and once when I told him I thought he left his locker open. I find these really effing lame excuses to talk to him and i'm pretty sure he knows I like him. He's on the football team an i'm one of the managers so i'm around there a lot. I need better excuses to talk to him, any ideas?
3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoDo book blurbs reveal the ending?
So i'm doing this book talk thing for school and it says to write a blurb, whatever that is. I've looked it up but i'm still not entirely sure. Do I reveal the ending of the book or make it kind of mysterious so the audience wants to read it?

3 AnswersHair8 years agoHow do I stop lashing out verbally?
Alright, so my family and I went shopping today so I could find a dress for a party i'm going to. We went to the store and I found myself getting extremely frustrated because of my 5 family members constantly blithering around me shoving dresses in my face and giving their opinion on every dress I touched. It became really annoying to the point where I was ready to explode. When I finally found a dress, all 5 of my family members were giving their opinions on it, how it's too expensive, ugly, pretty, it was just so much information coming at me at once that it overwhelmed me.
I admit, I began to be rude, telling them to leave me alone and go away because I could decide for myself with maybe one other opinion, not 5. So my mother and I went around the store to find a piece to go under the dress, like a slip. But they kept coming back and telling me which ones to pick, when I had repeatedly told them that I was quite capable of choosing for myself. I'm not a stubborn person. I don't mind when someone tells me that they don't like something and i'll acknowledge their opinion. It's alright if I have someone telling me these things while I dress shop, but 5 people shoving their opinions down my throat me makes me want to pull my hair out. Eventually, we bought the dress and went home. I felt very guilty about being so rude to them. My family is always like this and I feel like screaming sometimes because no one understands how I feel. I tend to verbally lash out at them when these things happen and it makes me feel very bad about myself.Now, I know that anyone reading this would probably think "well, obviously just explain calmly that you dislike what they're doing" but it's not that simple because I've tried that many times and when they repeatedly don't listen, it turns into screaming. Especially the fact that there are so many of them, someone will always come back and do it again. It makes me feel very bad to lash out, what do I do?

11 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoHow to write an assertive but polite complaint letter?
Alright so basically, my french teacher drives me crazy. Whenever anyone answers a question correctly, she says "good job" or "right". But when a specific student (let's call him Bob) answers a question correctly she literally says "BRAVO! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU BOB!" I know it looks a bit exaggerated but it's not. I don't exaggerate. She really does that. I`m in grade 9 by the way. She`s even named our class after Bob and she`s done it with the other class too. She calls our class the ``Bob`` class. I fin d this very insulting because it makes me feel like she is saying that Bob is the only one in the class who matters.
I`m a quiet student. I wouldn`t feel comfortable bringing this up face to face, so i`ve decided to write an anonymous letter on behalf of the students that I will leave on her desk. The thing is, I don't know how to make it sound polite and assertive. I want it to look professional, but not insulting. I could really use some help doing this please, thank you :)
2 AnswersTeaching8 years agomy boyfriend won't tell his family about us?
so basically, my boyfriend wont tell his parents about our relationship. it didn't bug me at first but now, he's going out of his way to ensure that they don't find out. im in grade 9 and he's in grade 10. he's really a sweet funny guy but this one thing is really bugging me. now, his brother goes to the school to, he's in grade 9, like me. my boyfriend and i chill in the library every lunch but lately, hes been going way out of his way to keep his brother from finding out. he insists we stay at thye back of the library behind the bookshelves. i asked him if we could walk around the school or something and he said he didn't want to take the chance of his brother finding out. it's no big deal if they do find out, like they wouldn't be mad or anything but he wouldn't hear the end of it and his family would be buzzing about it forever. i can understand that but now, it's getting in the way of our relationship, how do i approach this situation?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agomy boyfriend is kinda being a jerk?
alright, so there's been a bit of an issue with my boyfriend. now, he's a really sweet guy but whenever we hang out (which is almost always at lunch) he only wants to do so in the back of the library behind the bookshelves. im pretty sure that no girl wants to hang out in the back of the library...every day. and we never chill anywhere else. i have spoken to him about it before and he has a good reason, but not good enough. my boyfriend is in grade 10 and im in grade 9 and his brother is also in grade 9. he says that if we walk around the school or sit somewhere, his brother might see us together and tell his parents. his parents wouldn't be mad or anything but he wouldn't hear the end of it and just couldn't take the annoyance of his family buzzing about him having a girlfriend. i want to tell him that we can't ''hide out'' there and that he can't live in fear of his family finding out. i just dont know how to approach this. a lot of people know were dating and eventually, his brother is gonna find out one way or another. i like him alot and i dont want this to come between us but it's really bugging me.

5 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style8 years agoMy boyfriend only wants to hang out with me in the back of the library?
My boyfriend is the sweetest guy alive. He treats me well and makes me feel like a princess, but there's one thing that kinda upsets me. when ever we hang out he always wants it to be in the back of the library. i know he isn't embarrassed of me because he wants to introduce me to some of his friends. i think i know why he wants it to be in the back of the library, cause his friends usually spy. i don't know how to tell him it kinda makes me feel bad. i need help coming up with what i should say to him with out giving wrong intentions. we walked around the school once for about an hour and ALL of his friends were spying and winking at him cause he has a girlfriend. it was kind of annoying but i didn't care that much but he seems to care when they do that stuff. how do i talk to him about this?
