Yesterday I was really tired because I had stayed up the whole night previous to work on a group project with this girl that really, REALLY hated me. This caused me to decide to take a nap when I got home, but when I woke up a couple hours later and got in the car to go with my parents to dinner, I started feeling really unwell. When I was little, I used to not feel well in cars in general (but that hasn't happened in 6 or so years) but I felt nauseous, like I couldn't breathe, hear my heartbeat in my ears, was really shaky, and felt like I was going to nearly die.

I've never had that before and my parents were so worried they wanted to take me to the hospital. I insisted I would be fine (though I was really scared) and eventually was able to breathe and calm down after ten or so minutes.

My mom thinks I'm getting sick (like a cold) but when I asked two of my friends today, they both suggested it sounded like a panic attack. Is this it? If so, it was my first one. And my main question is: Will it happen again? It really scared me and I don't know anything about it or how to handle it.

I understand that strong acids and strong bases dissociate completely, and that's what separates them from weak acids and weak bases, I just don't understand how to actually tell the difference at first glance.

I know there are small lists of strong acids (such as HCl, H2SO4, HI) and strong bases (such as NaOH, KOH, LiOH) but when it comes to compounds such as

C3H6O, HClO4, C5H5N, etc. I don't understand! I know they're all weak, I just can't grasp how they're acids or bases. I try and go off of H+ and OH- but it doesn't seem to work.

I've looked up YouTube videos and such as well, but it just doesn't make sense to me! If anyone can explain, it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a sophomore in high school now and I really want to start cross country this year. I was going to last year, but I sprained my ankle at the beginning of the year and that kind of killed it.

So today I talked to the coach and just found out that my school's team has already been training for about a MONTH preseason.

I'm going to go to the next practice, in a couple days, and I'm honestly nervous about it. Just only about a week ago I started running every day and I feel like I'm still horribly out of shape. Since a lot of people have already started, I'm going to probably be painfully slow. I know it sounds lame and trivial, but... Meh.

Any tips or advice since I'm a newbie at this and behind the rest of my team?

Also, what are practices like since I've never been to one?

Any serious answers are greatly appreciated!

My best friend is funny, sweet, cute, and I can't stop thinking about him.We were just friends until my friend suggested us dating at the beginning of this year and when I thought about it, I began to like the idea more. He's great and we like the same things and are just altogether very similar. I (I'm a girl) told him after about a month of just crushing in secret and he kindly rejected me. We're still best friends if not better now and I was completely convinced I was over him about a week after I told him.

Now I'm not even in the same state as him anymore and I can't stop thinking about him! It's spring break and I'm on vacation, but everything I see makes me think of some inside joke we have or just something about him. A few times downtown I was convinced I kept smelling him (because he has a very particular scent to him) and I feel like I'm going crazy (and being creepy). I bring his name up in random conversation to people that have never even met him, even my parents. Half the people in my grade seem to be convinced that we're dating, even my teacher! Thinking about him makes my stomach hurt sometimes and I just can't get him out of my mind.

I asked a question about this a while ago and I've tried waiting, nothing has happened. I tried asking my friends certain things and that didn't help either. I'm confused and I don't know if I've ever really been in love so I don't know if this is it or not.

I haven't told any of my friends because last time that happened, word got out, and now I'm much more protective about my crushes. I just don't know what to do, I don't want to lose him as a friend, so I NEED to learn some way to get over him before I come back from break.

(Ugh now I'm rambling)

Please help!

(Serious answers only please)

"Their whispers damning the police and the ATF fluttered weightlessly like leaves in the wind."

I know there are several literary features in this. So far I've picked out simile, personification, juxtaposition, and paradox.

What would you call it if you're comparing just the words "damning" and "fluttering" for example? Contrast?

So in French I'm learning the interrogative pronouns que and qui.

I know that qui is who or whom and que is what and that de quoi also means what...

What I don't understand is when do you know to use "de quoi" or "de qui" instead of just que or qui.

Help please!

Thanks!

Okay... I'm a girl and one of my best friends is a guy. (both in high school) We were just friends until my friend suggested us dating and when I thought about it, I began to like the idea more. He's sweet, funny, cute, we like the same things and are just altogether very similar. I told him after about a month of just crushing in secret and he kindly rejected me. We're still best friends if not better now and I was completely convinced I was over him about a week after I told him.

Now it's about 2-3 months later and the other day we were sitting around waiting for an after school thing to start. We always joke around, rarely do we actually have a serious moment between the two of us because we're both that type of person. So we actually have a serious conversation when we're sitting around alone, talking about things in our past and how we were both really awkward and alone a couple years ago. Something inside of me clicked then and told me that I still like him, and I really think I do. Now I find myself sneaking glances in classes and other times, he's on my mind more again, and I just can't get rid of the feeling and I don't understand it.

But I KNOW he doesn't like me back, and I want to keep him as my friend. So what can I do to get over him and stop feeling this way?

Please, serious answers, I'm really confused!

I've recently begun participating in Operation Beautiful, and I love seeing women and girls in schools and stores everywhere just smiling as they see post-it notes I write or other people do.

I know Operation Beautiful is geared towards girls/women, but do you have any ideas on making them good quotes for boys/men as well?

My quotes usually consist of, "You're beatuiful, show it off!" and "Look in the mirror and watch the amazing person standing there!"

Any ideas for guys so EVERYONE can feel good about themselves? :)

Just a random little poll I'm doing. I love music and would love to find out what other people play.

Right now I play clarinet, alto sax, piano, and violin (and am in the process of learning guitar).

So tell me what you play! :)

I got temporary retainers a couple days ago (the clear ones that look like Invisalign) and I'm getting the permanent ones in a week. I used to have only a top retainer long ago, and I remember lisping horribly with that and having a lot of pain. I know your speech and pain should eventually adjust, but could anyone who wore top and bottom retainers give me some advice?

Mainly on the lisp and any tricks on adjusting faster??

Thanks in advance!

I'm now in parkour classes but it's mostly a male sport I guess because the class is made up of mostly guys.

Sometimes I wonder if the guys don't like me for being in that sport... so what do you guys think of a girl that does parkour?

Parkour is basically getting from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible using only your body and the objects around you. Look it up on youtube.

Thanks in advance! :)

I'm Asian. Right now I have the long side bangs, but they only barely cover the corner of my eye. I was wondering if I should get the side sweep bangs where they cover most of your forehead, but not all of it. (If I didn't explain right, just look up side swept bangs on google.) Or should I leave them how they are and just get them trimmed?

I have a round/oval face so any suggestions please? I got one answer when I asked this before but I'd like a few more opinions please!

Please, serious answers.

Thanks in advance!

I pluck my eyebrows. I don't know if my race has to do with it or not, but I'm Asian and when I pluck them, it leaves a pale spot where I do. People keep asking if I shave them and I'm wondering how to fix it BESIDES going to a salon or whatever. I tried to use the cover up I have but it didn't really work...

So any suggestions?

Now I'm going to tell you all the RUMORS I've heard...

I've heard how Cardio excersises are really good for losing weigh/burning fat. I've also heard that you never lose weight or fat in a specific area but everywhere. I've heard sweating makes you lose weight.

So can anyone confirm true or false for these rumors?

Also, can anyone please tell me the best way to burn fat/lose weight? Also how often do you do it a day and how many weeks/months does it take?

I'm not really comfortable with my body and exercising is good for you so please, all kind answers are appreciated!

Thanks!

A lot of the big actors and actresses have had to move to big cities like LA and New York to make their careers successful.

I've had the opportunity to act in some theater productions and commercials but I really want to go beyond that because it's what I love to do.

So is there any way that you know of that I can still have a successful acting career without moving to a big city? (I don't believe my parents would be willing to just for my career.)

All kind answers appreciated!

I'm a self harmer. I was bullied a lot and I think before I did it so people could see how much it hurt others, so attention I guess. But then it turned into something else, I stopped on my arms and started on my thighs where no one could see, no one could figure it out.

My friend has cut for 5 years. He says that when you've done it that long you just can't stop.

I lied to everyone. I told the five people that know that I've stopped. That's when I switched to my thighs so no one could see and stop me because they think I already did.

So please, can anyone help me with how to truly stop (and possibly my friend)?

Yes, I'm a self harmer. I AM stopping so please don't lecture me. I just need a way to hide the cuts/scars along my arm from my wrist to my inner elbow. It's getting hot and long sleeves most likely won't work anymore, people are already beginning to ask why I wear long sleeves all the time. Bracelets don't really work because they're so far up my arm, makeup doesn't either. So please give me excuses and ways to hide the cuts/scars.
