Pride of Philly

I am a junior in high school. Last year, my GPA was 2.5. Since then, the worst grade in any class I've gotten has been a C. I've gotten lots of B's and some A's. I checked recently and now my GPA has dropped to barely over a 2.0. What gives?

I took one level three math class. Is it possible that just by taking that class my GPA dropped so low?

I've been trying to learn some plucking patterns, and I don't understand how I am supposed to make a sound in some instances.

For example, if I'm playing a pattern that requires a G chord, and I pluck the 6th string, it doesn't make the right sound. It just sounds like it's muted because my fingers are playing a G chord. Am I pushing too hard down on the string? Not hard enough?

I'm convinced it's not a problem with the tuning because I've tuned it correctly.

I just bought Madden 13 used and in order to use online I must get it on the XBOX Marketplace. To do that, I must redeem my code. But when I go to redeem code, it makes me create an EA Origin Account. So I use my email and follow the steps in making a password, choose my contact preferences, and it just says "Unable to retrieve account information." What do I do?

I woke up with a pain in my right underarm about three days ago. I don't want to say it's an aching muscle type pain, but that's the best way to describe it. I originally believed it would fix itself but after three days it's only gotten worse. Are there any easy methods to help or resolve the problem?

Me and my friend want to see an R rated movie. I'm only 15, but my friend is 17. However, she doesn't look 17. She's been told she looks 12, 15, 16....she's a senior in high school but no one would ever be able to tell. Can we still get in?

I have a Cricket Samsung Messager Touch. I accidentally turned on power save mode on it while I was traveling from Philadelphia to New York and now I have no service. Does anyone know how to turn off power save mode, and does this have anything to do with my phone not getting service? And how do I get service again?

When I text someone, they get the previous text I sent them and they don't get the current one until after I send another. What gives?
