2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships9 years agoShould I try to fix this relationship or put it to an end?
My boyfriend and I have been together for four months. In that four months, he's gotten fired from his job, drank nearly every night, and ditched me numerous times for his friends/to party, etc. Now I understand that he's 20 years old and wants to have fun, but he's proven his immaturity, irresponsibility, and carelessness to me. Should I end it, or talk to him? He's a great guy, so kind and sweet, he makes me laugh. But he isn't good at being there for me when bad things happen, although I'm only 18 and a freshman in college, I can't stand the thought of being with someone who has no intentions of going anywhere with his future. Help!
4 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoWas my mother violating my privacy?
I'm 17, turning 18 in one month. My mom insists on having my facebook password. I can understand why a parent would want to moniter their child's internet use. BUT, she was reading through my messages yesterday morning for no reason other than nosiness and she read messages of me complaining about an older friend how my mom hurts my feelings all the time and I can't wait to go to college in the fallt. My mom flipped out, shut my internet off, shut my phone off, and won't talk to me. She told me that I can move out, but can't take my car. WTF. My question is; was she wrong in violating my privacy? She had NO reason to be suspicious OR to read my private messages.

2 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoCounter-terroism policies between the Hamas and the United States?
For my Current Issues class, I'm doing a project about the Hamas terrorist organization. I've had no problem finding information on the required topics until now. I cannot seem to find any examples of counter terrorism policies between the Hamas Terrorist Group and the US. If anyone knows of a site that I can find this info or anything about it, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
1 AnswerCurrent Events10 years agoSomeone stole my purse, money, and keys!?
I was swimming in a river today with some friends and while we were in the water, two strangers stole all three of our purses. My purse had my drivers license, $150, keys, phone, and camera in it. We filed a police report. Some other people that were there knew these people and went to their house and checked it and couldn't find the purses anywhere. I had to get my car towed back home because we don't have a spare key. I feel so violated and broken. I'm only 17 but I feel so dumb for leaving my stuff out. I really don't know what to do. I'm scared now because they have my adress and keys to my house. Is there anything else I can do?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoAre you for or against expectant mother registering?
I'm expecting my first baby her in about 30 weeks, and I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is on baby registries. I have mixed feelings, but all in all I feel like it's a tad bit selfish to make a guideline for what other people should buy. On the other hand, it's great to have a registry to look at when buying for people that you don't know well enough to have a good grasp of their interests. So, my question is, baby registry yes or no? If I do make one, should I keep everything under a certain price? Thanks!
6 AnswersPregnancy10 years agoI wake up a non-smoker, go to bed a full-on nicotine addict. How can I possibly quit?
I'm only seventeen. I've been smoking for three or so years, addicted for almost one. It seemed to get easier when I got my license and a car, because I could smoke whenever I wanted. Now that I'm getting to about a pack of cigerettes every three days, I really want to quit. Not to mention the fact that my chest constantly locks up and my lungs ache from the back. It hurts really bad to breathe sometimes, depending on how much I've smoked that day. It's affected my running and I hate smelling like cigarettes when I walk into work. I feel guilty that the kids have to smell it on me, although I do use hand sanitizer and perfume as much as I can. If my parents knew, they'd be so disappointed.
But back to the point here, smoking has done nothing for me but take away my money and my health. Beginning was dumb, and I was not smart when I thought I'd never get addicted. So my question is, without getting another adult involved, this means no counceling or medication, how can I possibly find the courage to quit? I've tried many times before, but I always get the worst cravings and end up buying a pack. Help?

3 AnswersSpecial Education10 years agoHow could I end this story?
For my writing class, we had to write a story. That's about all the guidelines we get. So far, I have ten pages about twin girls who fly to Jamaica for their brother's wedding. One girl is trapped in an abusive relationship. When they get to Jamaica they meet a guy, Luke. Both girls like Luke, but he doesn't like the girl that's in a relationship-he likes the other one. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could end it?
3 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoDoes she have Autism?
I am almost sure that the 20 month old that I babysit has Autism or some sort of sensory issue.
* the only words that she says are "baby," "momma," and "key," she used to say a lot more over the summer but her language has regressed.
- she doesn't make eye contact.
* she doesn't respond to her name.
- she throw tantrums constantly; arching her back, screaming, crying, kicking, stomping for no apparant reason. When I babysat her on last, she did not go a full 15 minutes without screaming.
* instead of playing with toys, she prefers to run laps around the living room and scream.
- I've seen her rub her head against the floor plenty of times.
Her mom has no idea; they just think she's a late talker. Does this sound like Autism to you?

2 AnswersChrysler1 decade agoWhat can my mom do about it if I want to live with my dad?
My mother is making my life a living hell. She treats everyone around her like complete **** and then demands respect from others, the respect that she doesn't deserve. If I try to defend myself, she tells me that I'm "playing reverse psychology games and trying to blame it all on me."
My mom has full custody of me, but my dad is supposed to have WED. and every other weekend visitation. The thing is, she won't let me spend the night at my dad's. She says that since he's behind on child support, he doesn't get visitation rights. Now if i drive myself to my dad's and spend the night there, is there anything she can do about it legally?
Also, if I want to move in with my dad, can she do anything about that? Will the courts make me live with my mom because of child support and because my dad doesn't have a job? Since I'm 16 years old and extremely suicidal around her, shouldn't I be able to choose?

2 AnswersFamily1 decade agoOpinions on the girl name Cecily?
I understand that when you throw out a name that's uncommon, you're going to get some negative opinions. More than you would with a trendy name because some people just dislike unique. So how does everyone like the name Cecily? I love this name for some reason, I just think it's beautiful. It's pronounced SESS-ILL-EEE. Thanks!
14 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoOCD is Controlling my Life- Please Help?
OCD has been a part of my life since I was about 8 years old. This was right after my father's fiance' left us. I don't know if that's what triggered it, but that's when it started.
Ever since then, OCD has begun to control every little thing that I do. I get these irrational thoughts in my head, such as "You must tap the keys on your keyboard 10 times or your going to get grounded tomorrow." "I have to turn my turn signals on and off four times or I'll wreck on my way home." I have these problems with walking, blinking, numbers, light switches, doors, everything. It controls me. I always do what the compulsive thoughts tell me to do because I'm always scared that the consequence really will happen..
Today, I've been super paranoid and can't seem to get dumb thoughts out of my mind. I want help, I really do but I unfortunately have to wait another two years until I'm 18 because my parents don't understand. My Mother just doesn't get it, "Just tell the thoughts no. Stop being silly," she says.
Is there anything I can do on my own, without medication or therapy, to help this?
