Fossegrim a dit : You just be frank about it, don't cut around the bush, go up to them, say "hey I've liked you for a really long time and I was kinda wondering if I could take you on a date" Be as frank as possible. |

I have a big problem Okay so today in school we were picked to work with partners for a project. the thing is I was put with my enemy. Let me tell u this girl is a rude bitch. she tries to act all quiet and innocent but she's an ass. She was the girl who used to bully my best friend and spread nasty rumours about her. The girl and I have a long history of hate together. one time she we were at lunch and she called me a Weeaboo and a freak because i'm known for my love of anime at school. After she did that I dumped my chicken noodle soup on her two years ago. anyway i dont know how im going to survive working with this girl. my anxiety just makes it worse too. I cant work alone or switch partners. I already asked the teacher and he said no. do u have any tips on how to survive this hell??? |

^ If you think you can tell another teacher or your parents to talk or write a note to the teacher to convince him, please consider doing just that. How long is the project? Remember that this is only a temporary thing, not a permanent one. Also, since you're working together, neither of you can sabotage the project without risking both of your grades. "Working together" doesn't always mean making peace, it means sharing the effort to reach a goal. Does this person care about her grades? If she does, she will do her share of work, and you will do yours. Both of you share the apprehension of working with each other and, most importantly, the intention to get the project done without any problems. From my experience, the dread of working with someone is usually worse than actually working with them. Best of luck to getting this project done! Edit: Glad to know that I could help you feel better! Dernière modification le 1495665480000 |

Winterbabe2 a dit : Take all of the qualities of the school that you want that your parents would like and tell them all about it, and how that school may have some qualities that are good and aren't in your current school. However, private schools usually cost a lot and you have to realise that if your parents can't afford it, they can't afford it. If everything is fine at your current school, they wont understand why they would go through all of that trouble just so you can hang out with someone more. Parents think more about education. Just hope for the best and as I said, take out all the good qualities and tell your parents about them. Dernière modification le 1497470820000 |

how do i become better at comforting people and giving advice to them especially when the things they need advice with are either things im trying to deal with too that i havent figured out how to deal with or something that i have no idea how to deal with especially when i live in a completely different continent also how do i stop overthinking everything and assuming everyone hates me over really small things |

The only way to get better at giving advice about certain topics is to study them or experience them for yourself. The more you can understand the situation they're in, the easier it will be for you to put your advice into words. If it's something that they are dealing with that you know how to deal with, tell them what you did to solve the situation or what they should do to get out of it. If you're experiencing what they don't know how to deal with, you can explain how you have the same problem. Even though you can't tell them how to solve the problem, it always helps to know they're not alone. If you have no idea how to help them, it's better to find someone who does know how. Either take the advice from them and give it to the person in need of it, or ask the person with advice to give some to the one asking for it. There may also be websites that you can link to people that can help them out. If you live in a different continent, you can tell the person to seek help from people who they trust and what to explain to those people. If they don't want to talk about it in person to someone else, remind them that they can always send a text message, email, etc. to the person they need to talk to. If they don't want to communicate their problems to anyone else, recommend that they should do so since managing one's problems on one's own can only work for so long. Any other advice you give depends on the situation. Say what you're overthinking about or write it down so you can see it. Don't do this in your mind, that will just make you think too hard. Describe as much about the situation/problem as you can remember. You said these things were small. Mistake, apology, and moving on. People forgave you for your mistake, and if they did forgive you, they will let it go and forget it happened over time. If it's what ifs you're worrying about, remember that they're only what ifs, nothing more, and remember you have the present to deal with. -I'm sorry if my advice doesn't work for/apply to your situation. |

Let me tell you a little bit about me! As a child I grew up happy. I lived in a Christan household. My 9 brothers and sisters, including me were expected to read the bible everyday for atleast an hour. We prayed after lunch each day and ofcourse went to church every Sunday. If I didn't practice my prayers I wasn't allowed to eat dinner. I also could only have Christian friends. My brother who was a footwashing baptist made sure of that. One time I was talking to a girl who was Jewish. My brother saw me and slapped me across the face. He said that I had disgraced the family. I was then expected to write an apology letter to god saying my sins that night. God is very important to me. I believe that everyone, no matter what religion should be a good person and respect god. I still might not be allowed to do certain things like have friends or go to the mall, but i'm happy with myself. Maybe one day my parents will understand and let me do those things. Basically how do I make my parents to be less strict and accepting of other religions? |
