I want to try teaching myself Spanish outside of school so I can skip Spanish 3 and move to the next level. But I don't really know how to teach it to myself, or what the curriculum for Spanish 3 even is. How do I learn a language without a teacher?

My girlfriend and I have been together in an LDR for almost a year now. My problem is that even though we have been together for quite a while now, she still acts like we have been together for a few weeks. She acts like I am the greatest thing since sliced bread, and she constantly puts me on a "pedestal". And that is really stressful for me. That sort of thing is fine for like, the beginning of a relationship, but it's been this long, and she acts like I am prince (well, princess) charming riding up on a white steed to sweep her off her feet or something. She doesn't make much of an effort to communicate like we used to, and we hardly even talk. I feel like she isn't actually interested in me, she likes the IDEA of me. We've even been in a relationship for this long, and we have not fought ONCE. No arguments, no nothing. I've even purposely TRIED to get into an argument with her a few times, and she avoids it like the plague. If things get to that point where we MIGHT start fighting, she will find an excuse to just leave, or she will just start ignoring me. I would bring this sort of thing up with HER, but I'm scared she will get really upset, tell her best friend, and then this friend will drive all the way from SC to chop off my head and mount it on a pole. Literally. She's my girlfriend, and I care about her. I don't wanna end up having to break up with her. But she doesn't really seem to take the relationship as seriously as I do. I'm at a lose of what to do here.

I never really thought about it before, but black and dark colors make it looks real pasty, and black is supposed to go with everything. So what colors work with real pale skin? How do you make that look good?

For reasons that aren't important, I wanted to dress up as a boy, and I want it to be convincing. I don't have a problem with my boobs, or my clothes, or my curves, or hair, etc. Nothing like that. My big problem is my face. I have a very feminine looking face. I could do everything perfectly, and everything is convincing, but the instant they see my face, they will instantly be like "Oh, wow, you're a girl! I'm sorry!" I know this because it has happened before. I don't know what to do to disguise my face. I don't think makeup is a very good idea, because I don't believe men normally wear makeup. What can I do about my face to make me seem like a more convincing guy? Should I try to cover my face, or will that seem too suspicious? What should I do about it?

I plan on telling them sometime in the next few days. My parents aren't homophobic, and they are very accepting and I know they wouldn't freak out and try to change me or something.

I just don't know HOW I should tell them. Do I just walk over and say "Hi mom, I'm gay." or do I like, build up to it? I don't want to just dump it on them really quick and have them be all confused or something. I just want some tips on what I should say when I tell them. Thank you for your help in advance.

I'm pretty sure I either have a problem or I'm just stupid.

You could be teaching me how to do an equation step by step, and I will understand each step pretty well. But by the time we get to the last step and we solve it, I will be like "Yeah.. What was the first step again? And after that? And that?" I will pretty much forget how to do it.

I have never found a good way of studying for a test because I completely understand when I'm doing it, but the next day when I sit down to take the test, I will have completely forgotten everything and have no idea what I am supposed to be doing. It's just gone. I remember doing it in class, and studying for the test, but I won't remember what the hell I am supposed to be doing. I have spent entire class periods and hours at home just staring at a problem having no idea what I'm supposed to do. It's not just tests, this happens with classwork and homework too. It's like nothing sticks.

I don't know if this is a problem everyone has, or if it's just me, or if I'm just dumb, but nobody else in my class seems to have this problem unless they are cheating somehow. Everybody else will be getting A's and B's without even trying, and I'll be getting C's and D's when I'm trying my very best.

And then I get in trouble for not trying hard enough. It makes me so frustrated and confused, that I can hardly even look at the material from class without my head like, exploding.

Do other people have this problem, or is it just me..? Am I stupid or something?

Thanks for reading that all, I'm sorry it was so long.

whenever i send a picture of me on my skype to my friends who live far away, they always say something along the lines of "You look like a dude XD" or "you look like a boy owo" and it always hurts my feelings. i just have short hair, but ive always been told i look like a boy, or i act like a boy, even though i dont, ever since i was little. people dont really seem to understand that im a sensitive person, and the stuff they say hurts my feelings sometimes. ive cried twice in the last month from things i know are only jokes and not really serious. people always used to call me "A Man, Duh!" (my real name is Amanda), and all of the things people say when they are only joking really hurt. it makes me feel really unconfident in my self sometimes to the point where i cant even be proud of my own name. i always feel really self conscious about what im doing and i get very shy and embarrassed very easily. i never feel like i can talk to anyone because im so scared of these stupid, harmless jokes. i dont want to live like this or have to feel like this all the time. how do i stop being so sensitive to such little things?

Today, i borrowed my older brothers phone to call our mom. (mine was charging) and as im going through his contacts looking for "Mom", i see my girlfriend as one of his contacts. I havent told him that i have a girlfriend, and she doesnt live around here (long distance relationship), so its very unlikely that he knows her. they have never met either.

I checked the number to be sure it wasnt just some other girl with the same name, and the number was the same. He doesnt know her, he doesnt know that i have a girlfriend, and she is 6 years younger than him. there is no reason for him to have her number. the only way he would possibly have it was if he took my phone, looked through it, and took the number.

what should i do? i havent told anybody about her yet, so the fact that he most likely dug through my phone and knows about her really freaks me out. He isnt the type to just go digging around in someone elses stuff without permission, so im really shocked that he has her number. should i bring it up, or keep quiet? he hasnt changed his behavior, or acted like he knows something he shouldnt. so i dont want to make him suspicious if he somehow DOESNT know. and if i bring it up, he will know that i sort of invaded HIS privacy! so what do you think i should do??

My girlfriend is a touchy-feely person in general. But I'm more shy and I'm not really used to public displays of affection, and sometimes we get a lot of stares. She is more used to the looks and I guess she just doesn't care about them anymore. But I'm really new to this whole relationship thing, and I'm not used to having so much attention put on me, and it makes me kind of uncomfortable sometimes (I'm a pretty big introvert). I feel like if I try to tell her to tone it down a bit, she might get upset or think that I don't like her (She's kind of emotional). So what should I do? Is there some way to get used to all of the attention or way I can get her to tone it down without hurting her feelings somehow? I get really uncomfortable in the spotlight, but I don't want to make her feel like I don't like her, because I do.

He is just my older brother, but he seems to think that he counts as one of my parents just because we have a rather large age gap. ( I am 15, he is 27 or 28. It's one of those.) He thinks that just because he's almost old enough to be my dad, that he IS my second dad. He always tells me to treat him with more "respect" and that I should treat him like he's an adult, even though I treat him like he is my sibling. We had a fight last night over when I go to sleep. He tells me to go to bed at 11:30 PM, even though I'm not a little kid anymore, and he isn't my babysitter like he used to be. He doesn't have the authority to make me go to bed anymore, and he seems to think he does. He tells me to treat him like an adult, when he doesn't treat ME like an adult. It's not really a fair that I have to be treated like a child when he gets to be treated like an adult. I am 15 years old now. I know I can't do anything I want, but even my mom says that it's my own responsibility to go to bed at a proper time, and it's my responsibility to deal with the consequences of me waking up late. My brother seems to think that those are HIS responsibilities when he should really be minding his own business.

How do I get him to stop treating me like this? I've talked to him many times about it, and he doesn't listen. He just ignores me or doesn't listen to what I'm trying to tell him. He doesn't take me seriously, and he is being sort of a hypocrite and I'm sick and tired of it. This has been going on for 13 years, and it's time for it to stop. Sorry for the long question and rant, thank you to anyone who even takes the time to hear me out.

Serious question. Would you get sick from it, or would nothing happen, or what?

I don't really understand it. I don't get it at all. I HAVE a sex drive, and I've been turned on before, I think. But I've never actually "wanted" to have sex. I'd do it if I wanted to have kids or something, but other than that, I really don't get it. TMI warning: I've tried masturbating before to see why others find pleasure in it, but I still don't get the point of it at all. When I tried it, all I thought was "Why the f*ck am I doing this? I'm not feeling anything 'good'."

I've thought about scenarios of if I had a partner, and they wanted to have sex. But I eventually determined that I'd probably decline or push them away. I don't like children Or sex, it seems, so there's not really a point.

So why do other people seem to find sex so pleasurable? Can someone explain it to me, because I'm really not getting it at all.

I used to have a friend that I talked to on Skype. We didn't know each other in real life, so we can't talk in person. Him and I got in sort of a fight back in March, and long story short, he cut off connections with me. We used to talk through Skype all of the time, but he deleted me as a friend. It wasn't that big of a deal in my opinion, but he got really upset over it and I don't know if he wants to talk to me again. I still feel bad about making him upset and even though i apologized, he still deleted me as a friend. So I figured he must have been really mad at me.. Do you think I should send him a friend request again, or do you think I should just leave him alone? I want to be friends again, but I don't know if he will want to hear anything I have to say..

I know women usually carry around handbags and such, but I still want pockets. Why don't women get more convenient holding spaces? Men can carry bags too.

i have a crush on my friend but she isn't interested in me as anything but a friend. how do i get over it and move on with my life?

He's very touchy feely (only with me) and he seems like he kind of flirts with me without even noticing. He purposely annoys me and makes fun of me (jokingly). he always does that playful punching type thing. He also makes a lot of eye contact. I've known him for about 2 years, and i cant remember if he always acted like this. He's kind of nerdy and he doesn't seem interested in anyone at our school. Im not really sure if we are just close friends or if he likes me. what do you think? also, what are some other signs i should look for?

I have a white hat, and i want this hat to be green. my washer doesnt make my colors run at all (lucky me lol). If i were to soak the hat and some dark green pants in a bucket of warm/hot water, would the colors run and turn the hat green?

Mines when people just take my stuff without asking. What's yours?

Which is right?

I learned how to ride a bike today.
