My mother just had surgery and while I understand she is in pain she is starting to get on my nerves with how she talks to me. She never asks my brother to do anything but all because I am in nursing school she expects me to do everything for her and if I don t she gives me a speech to try and make me feel guilty and all it ends up doing is makes me feel like not doing anything. I don t know how to deal with this situation.

I live in an apartment and people were dealing drugs on our floor across from us so I anonymously reported the incident and my mom flipped out and told me never to do that because I could get beat up or killed. The police told me I have nothing to worry about it and they will have someone watching the place. I don't feel like I did the wrong thing but I just don't agree with my mom letting injustice happen.

This guy basically invited me over to hang out at his place. I was dumb for saying yes since I didn't know him, but I figured he wanted to get to know me. I wasn't comfortable with him touching my body several times and slapping my butt even when I get said no but he still continued. He started rubbing my butt and breasts and tried going under my clothes and I kept saying no, but he wouldn't stop. He started giving me a sad story about how lonely and depressed he was so I stayed a little longer because I felt a little guilty. He told me to take off my shirt and I thought it was just going to be harmless fooling around and he asked if I wanted to see his **** and I said no, but he took his clothes off anyways. Then we went to the bed I think I may have suggested we fool around on the bed instead and he took me to the bed and removed my pants and underwear and I told him no and again he continued. At this point I thought he would stop if I just did what he said so I gave him a ******** and he started to put his **** in but I stopped him and convinced him to wear a condom. It was super painful and I didn't enjoy it and he did it a second and a third time. The third time he had unprotected sex with me. I may have given him consent but I did it because I thought it would get me out of my situation. I spoke to a counselor and she said that this is sexual assault but I am not sure still and I don't really want to press charges either but the friends that I have told said I should.

I have been living in this place with 5 people 2 of which are complete slobs, are very impolite, and do other annoying things and it has been one day since the semester started. I have 2 roommates that are great and two that are absolutely lazy and live like pigs. Basically I am in a student apartment for the year and they placed me with roommates that are just the worst. One who hasn't finished high school and claims to be taking courses at a learning center. They leave their dirty dishes in the sink, don't take out the garbage, don't vaccuum the floor, clearly don't do laundry, and as a result the place is infested with fruit flies and apparently in the past ants. The worst part for me is that I requested to be with non smokers and they smoke pot in the room and they have friends that know our door code and they just walk in here like they pay rent. This is not the first time they have done this and their last roommates ended up leaving early. I don't want to have to put up with this.... I wanted to stay here till graduation but I am now looking to get them evicted because I am pretty sure this won't improve any time soon. What is my best course of action right now?

I don't know the first thing about being someone's girlfriend and yet people have either asked me to go out with them with the expectation of a relationship or they want me to hook up with them no strings attached. I don't know what I want anymore. I want something meaningful but right now I can't commit to a guy. If I am not here I am over there and if I am not there I am over here. Some guys are so pushy for relationships and other guys just care about the sex. I want to graduate and start my career and live my life. I am 20 and I have never had a serious boyfriend and I have probably unintentionally tease a few guys. I want to get to know them better but I always end up chickening out. Is it normal? How can I help myself sort this all out?

Basically by December I hope to lose 10 inches and 44lbs. My ultimate goal is a size 6 from a size 12. She keeps showing me pictures of people who are super skinny and says that that is what I will look like if I were a size 6. I don't have a straigh figure so no matter what I do I will still have some kind of a curve in my body and I will not look stick thin as a size 6 and that everyone's shape is different. I want to do this for myself and she keeps discouraging me. Should I listen to her?

I hate that she expects me to tell an "adult" where I am going at the age of 20. I am not a child anymore. Basically she has this woman and her kids living in our house and I have absolutely no privacy in the house. She chooses people over her kids all the time and when you tell her how you feel she doesn't give a damn. Anyways all I want is for her to acknowledge that I am not a child anymore. I have already decided that I moving out so no need to suggest that

I took my road test on Thursday and I failed automatically withing the first 2 minutes. The reason the examiner told me was because I cut off a truck when I was changing lanes. When I exited the test center its right on a 80km/h road and within about 50-100m is an intersection where I had to make a right turn. Basically I was at about 70 when she told me to change lanes and there was a long haul truck well behind me so I sped up to about 75-77 to give myself more distance from the truck before I changed lanes. I checked the mirror looked over my shoulder and moved into the lane and I looked in the mirror one last time after I changed lanes and the truck was still a fairly good distance behind me. I think that she may have been a little nervous because there was a bush in my way at a 4 way stop and I was moving up a little to see if anyone was coming and she nearly had a heart attack before I explained I couldn't see past the bush. Anyways she said my lane change was a dangerous action and that I had cut the truck off and I failed because of it. If I didn't change when I did I would have missed the light so what would you have recommended I do instead? I am going to retake the test again in 2 weeks and I just want to know how I can not make the same mistake again.

I am in school studying nursing and I am starting my second year. My boyfriend wants to get married and have kids when I graduate. He makes 6 figures and he said if we had kids I wouldn't have to work. I don't want to have kids when I am 23 and I certainly don't want to be a housewife. I want to use my skills that I spent learning in school not cook, clean, and take care of the kids. He is going to break up with me isn't he? I really can't just take care of kids though... What can I do to help him understand that I don't want to be a mother and wife at 23 years old?

It's not because I don't want to live there but I can't afford it. Paying rent in the summer is expensive for me and right now my credit card is almost maxed out my bank accounts ether have a zero balance or are in overdraft and I can't afford my rent that is due in 7 days. I essentially wanted an 8 month lease where I wouldn't have to worry about paying rent over the summer but my "friends" figured paying $525 over 12 months is cheaper than paying $650 over 8 months (which it isn't). I wanted to live with friends next year and instead of trying to work things out they essentially told me to sign the lease or go look somewhere else. Now I don't care who I live with just as long as I can find somewhere because I can't afford this place and it will end up with me getting evicted if I can't pay the rent. My current job gives people hours based on seniority and and I just started. I have even begun looking for a second job and its not enough right now. Is there a way to get my landlord to get me out of this lease?

My mom is nice to people who need help but always ends up getting taken advantage of in the process every time. My brother is 18 soon to be 19 and my mom doesn't think he would be okay to stay home on his own... So she invited a friend of another friend and her kids to live at our house. The mom isn't so bad but the two kids are little s**ts! The little one is 5 and insists on making as much noise as possible. He always begs for food and when he gets it he decides he doesn't like it and you end up having to waste food. The older one who is 14 is worse in my opinion. She is a glutton and doesn't give a damn whether you have eaten or or not. I like toast with butter for my breakfast in the morning and she will eat 4 slices of toast in the morning. The mother buys muffins as well and she will take 4 muffins for lunch as well as 4 pizza pockets. Then when she comes back from school she will have pizza pockets as a snack again or eat them late at night. It has gotten to the point where I only want to cook and buy food for me and my brother because those kids don't deserve to eat at all. The only thing they leave for my brother and myself are rotten fruits and vegetables. I can't just tell their mom that they are gluttons because she knows how much they eat and obviously spoils them with food. I know this because I went with her to the store and she spent over $300 in groceries for 2 weeks. This is driving me crazy how can I get rid of them?

So I got a car and I need it to drive to work so I plan on taking my test as soon as possible. When I drive on streets I am pretty much fine because I know the rules of the road and in BC where I used to live they d "trick" you with all these hidden stop signs and what not. I told him I just need to work on parking I am good for intersections. He starts by lectures me about intersections. The second thing he did was yell at me when I didn t do the 3 point turn perfectly despite telling him I had NEVER done one before. Then when I told him I cant reverse park that well he yells at me for not being able to do it that well. Then when he tells me to parallel park and I make mistakes a few times he yells at me and says WHAT DO YOU KNOW A BETTER METHOD?! DO IT AND SHOW ME!!! I almost raged and walked out of the car but I kept my cool and continue with the lesson. Then he asked me to pull into another space and I noticed I wasn t straight so I was just about to reverse and adjust and he yells at me and about not being in the space and being to far. So I told him I was going to reverse and adjust. This guy frustrated me so much but thankfully there isn t really anything else he can teach me and he said I can book the test and take one more lesson before the test. I get the feeling that he is just going to put my anxiety levels through the roof. He is the only instructor I can afford though... oh and he never introduced himself once and he never asked for my name either

I was hired there and did my orientation last week on Wednesday and I am waiting to be called for a training shift. How long does that usually take? I am also wondering how they post their schedule? Is it by email or do they do it in the store? I am so lost... I would call in but I don't even know who to call...

Basically I am student nurse and he works full time so I decided to tell my mom who I have been seeing. I felt bad leaving her in the dark and so told her. When I told her he wasn't a student and was working too long she basically told me I can do better. She judged him without even meeting him. He treats me like a queen and respects me. He cares about me and tries to be there for me. I won't leave him because my mom doesn't think he's ambitious enough for me. So what can I do to help the situation.

I think he loves me and he says he does but I am not sure... how do you know?

He ended it not me. We seemed perfect for each other he treated me right and loved me for who I was so naturally I was devastated when he ended things. I am away at college and he didn t think it would work with the distance. I am only a couple hours away but he wants me to move on and forget him. He said he will still love me but its better to be friends. My guy friends think that he is a jerk and is only ignoring me to avoid drama I should just forget about him. I am completely torn at this point. I am really hurt that he broke up with me despite the fact I am really not that far away (I live like 20 minutes away from him when I go home) and part of me still loves him. Should I give up on him completely or should I try again later to try to work out something with him?

My friends Chris, Alex, and Jacob and I have gotten along fairly well. Until recently, Jacob and I had a falling out and I am not too happy with him. Jacob and I had a conversation which ended with Jacob saying a rude comment about my weight. I have struggled with the topic for the past few years and Jacob really hurt my feelings. When I told Chris he said he wanted to ask Jacob first and Alex went to ask Jacob about it directly. Alex told me that Jacob was sorry and didn't mean to say it and I should just forgive him. Jacob never said anything like that to me directly so I refused to just accept what Alex said. One day I went to hang out with Chris and brought Alex along the two of them decided to invite Jacob too even though I told them 100 times I still wasn't ready to see or talk to to Jacob. Jacob comes over and acts like nothing happened which bothered me because nothing he didn't seem to realize how much it hurt when he said it. I did tell him I accepted his apology but I still can't let it go. Then today Alex snapped at me for another reason which really got on my nerves because he is getting too serious about something we talked about in the past couple weeks and then Chris snapped at me which resulted in me snapping about the Jacob thing. I am the only girl in the group and I don't really feel like they are able to relate to how I am feeling so what can I do?

Sorry but this church decided to waste 3 hrs of peoples lives on a Sunday but not practicing music and not planning the sermon like at all. This is just an annoyance to me because it shows they put no effort into church like at all. They use the excuse of being a willing vessel for the Lord thats all good and well but how about getting someone that can sing? Or how about putting effort on your part to prepare your sermon and not fumble around the bible for 2 hours. I try to convince my mom to find a better church but she only wants to go to a "black church" no clue why because it has nothing going on for it.

I got into nursing school for the fall and I just moved to a new town and I was super excited to go to the local college and take my lab technology program. Then I got into nursing at a university 2 hours away and I am just having anxiety. The residence I am staying in isn't very nice... it looks like a cheap motel room that I have to share with a stranger but its really the cheapest option. The campus to me just looks dead... really dead and I would love to go to a bigger university but I just didn't get accepted into the programs I wanted and this school did. Maybe I should be a lot more open minded but I am feeling super nervous and I really want to stay here with my friends. How can I overcome these feelings?

I work with this guy who is super fun, nice, smart and well totally the kind of guy I'd go for. I will be leaving my job soon and I know we will grow apart super fast because its impossible to meet up with him now and when school starts again I am going to be super busy because of my program. I figured if we are going to grow apart why not see where things go? I have nothing to lose really... we won't see each other much anyways so no awkward encounters. Best case scenario he sticks around longer. So is this a good idea or not?
