I'm a 14 year old schoolboy out of New Jersey and my family is heavily religious and from Pakistan. I don't like some of the rules. I feel like women should be treated equally and be allowed to go to school and not wear the hijab if they don't want to. I feel like anybody not straight shouldn't go to hell just because of their sexuality. God made them like that and it's final. I feel music and comedy should be allowed in our world and those are my two sources. I don't want to live in a world where everybody I know is going to hell because they're not Muslim, and apparently to my family, there also is a definition of bad Muslims too who wouldn't go to heaven. I feel like everybody should be free on who they are in love with and who they want to marry and parents shouldn't choose on who their kids marry. I find it unfair how Muslims do so many chores like Ramadan which I don't like doing, or praying when I have to wake up 3AM to do. I personally have been confused my whole life. I respect someone if they are willing to have kids before marriage and shouldn't be a sin. I believe in God and I think that if you haven't raped, killed someone and are a good person in others eyes and in God's eyes, you will go to heaven. If you worship Satan, you would go to hell. I don't want to leave the religion right now because I don't want to be disowned and I need to finish school, get to college, and get a job first.

I have no idea how to start this off. My mom left me when I was 5 and she and my dad use to fight all the time. I'm in special-ed in school and just some ugly kid who just tries to joke around in school but does get in trouble and eventually suspended. I get made fun of a lot and have no social life but I do have a lot of friends in school because they think I'm funny. My father is a failed doctor, so he doesn't have a official doctor job but has done other small jobs that he makes money out of. My father doesn't know what it is like being a kid. He kicks me out the house a lot, so I wonder around town a lot and eventually told a teacher that I had nowhere to go after-school. She was worried and called my dad and my dad said I was allowed back into the house but when I got home he was started going off on me and locked me in the bathroom and even hit me a few times just for telling a teacher which he called "snitching". Another time was when somebody said something about my mom in school during a basketball shoot-around, and almost broke my glasses. I dared him to say something else about my mom again and he did, then we started fighting. My dad just says I have attitude problems because I fought him, and I have mental issues. He doesn't know the position of what it is like to be a short skinny Muslim boy who can't attract a girl and bad at anything no matter how hard he tries, a learning disability, a bad past from two parents fighting, and no experience.

What would happen if I keep the game? And what if I delete my gamefly account right away? Because right now I have no membership on gamefly but the game delivered to my house. What would happen when I'm under no membership or free trial?

He is a heavily religious Muslim father even though some of these things may not have to do with religion. Thankfully, I am a 14 year old male so I don't have to face the hell that women face.

I'm growing up in Northern New Jersey. He would whoop my *** if I was listening to music (no matter what genre it is), he is forcing me to go to college and be a doctor when my dream is rather to be a comedian or a music artist. I can't wear high top shoes because he says they are ugly, he won't let me choose my own clothes (because I'm not going to wear slacks with a dress shirt tucked into school). When I say I want to dress normal, he says I'm following my friends and says "if they were jumping off a bridge, would you do it?" which is a pretty famous quote. He has no career job and is divorced. I have no siblings and I have ADHD, I've been suspended from school a few times and in special ed. I was never taught how to do anything. I couldn't ride a bike, my vertical is low, I can't do a push-up, I'm slow, I can't fight for ****, I'm awful at any sport (even if I try). I practiced basketball for a few years now but my dad won't let me put focus onto it or even a small summer job because it would distract my education. Yes I pray and do Ramadan but I don't consider myself Muslim. I can't even get a haircut at a barber I want and if I told him I liked a girl, I would have neck surgery by now. He's kicked me out of the house multiple times and sometimes he thought about forever.

So I got a new Xbox One for my birthday but when I plug in a game disc nothing happens to my TV. I already plugged in and connected all the wires onto my TV. When I turn on the TV, it just shows regular TV. What do I do to open up apps and games and play a game? I already plugged in a game disc into my Xbox and have the controller and Xbox on and nothing is happening. How do I open up apps and games

My dad bought and ordered a refurbished Xbox One from the Microsoft store for a good price. Will refurbish effect how it functions? Will I still be able to play games like GTA or connect with friends on Xbox Live? It was $180 but $191 in total plus tax. Will it be worth the money (also free shipping) or is there something wrong with it that might make it different from other Xbox´s? Was it broken at one point but fixed? It is coming with a free game and free shipping.

Will it be like a new Xbox One?

And no, suicide is not a answer. I am not going to do that.

The cop noodles that you can find for a few cents at a store. Can they help and a good food to eat while at a cold?

I put on shampoo everybody (Head and Shoulders, to be exact), and whenever I stroke or fluff my hair, I see white stuff falling out. I'm nervous if these are head lice or just dandruff. I've been putting on shampoo daily.

Mine are:

Anthony Davis

Kawhi Leonard

Karl-Anthony Towns

Kyrie Irving

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Andrew Wiggins

Kristaps Porzingis

Nikola Jokic

Andre Drummond

Vince Carter

I'm in 8th grade and I've been in the same town and school district since 2008-09. which was when I started kindergarten. Now it is 2016-17 and I am not happy here. I attended elementary school from kindergarten to 6th grade and middle school for only two years, 7th and 8th. I am now in 8th grade, my second year in middle school. Next year I go to the high school in our school district. I am happy in the house and town I live in, but not the school district I attend. I have been getting in trouble so much recently, and one thing I can promise is that I had a bad start when I came in this district. I want a fresh, new start on a new school to recreate my reputation. The problem is, I can't. My father said I will cause the same problems in a new school, but I wouldn't because I would be a new person. Then he also said we would have to move to a different town, which we can't do. I can't change or develop around an environment with the same people I have been seeing. Next year in high school I will be seeing the same people and it will be worse. Nobody here takes me seriously and everybody makes fun of me. I am a big troublemaker at school, but I promise that if I go to a new school I will change and not cause the same problems.

I need help convincing my dad. Do we actually need to move to a different town and place to get admitted into a new school?

So I harassed a girl, it was supposed to be a joke but she took it seriously and I made it to far. When I write this out, it sounds way more than what it really is. I think I'll be suspended for around 3-4-5 days. How can I tell my dad about this? Can I pretend to be sick on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday? How do I make the school avoid a phone call and just tell me not to go to school the next day? Any answers are great, thanks.
