how do i look up photos in the high school year book in the year1978
Classmates.com?
You have to pay to see any and everything on that site. The one bad thing about that site is that people often create their profiles and never, ever go back and update them. You will see profiles that were created years ago and the person you're trying to contact has probably changed their email address many, many times and never bothered to update their Classmates.com profile.
My suggestion to you is...before you pay for Classmates.com, try (and I know some people may refute) MySpace.com. I'm not on MySpace to meet new people, I use the website to network with old high school friends. You will probably be amazed at home many people from school you can catch on their. MySpace even has a place where you can search for members who went to a certain school and graduated in a specific year. And best of all...its FREE.
Give it a try...don't pay for Classmates.com...you will regret it.
Hope you find this information useful....
Reply:You have to be a paid member of Classmates.com to view the pictures. Also, in order to email a classmate from there, you have to be a paid member.
Reply:you half to pay, they wont you to join to see anything, i too tried the sight, you will get a lot of spam from them. good luck

How do I stop my classmates from teasing me about my crush?
This has been happening since october every single day!
I can't take it anymore!
Even my friends tease me.
My two best friends leaked it out.
I can't stop being their friend coz I would have a hard time at school w/o them.
My crush doesn't talk to me anymore.
Then here's my other classmate...
He's a good friend of my crush and tells me My crush is crushing on me too. I dont know what to do.
How do I stop my classmates from teasing me about my crush?
Confirm that you have a crush, and it won`t be such a big deal.They will not tease you, because they will know that they won`t get on your nerves.Maybe confirming it will be hard, but it`s worth it.if you confirm it while you laugh they will think that you are joking, and it won`t be such a big deal. I always do this, you should try. If that friend of your crush sais that your crush has a crush on you.. Maybe the friend wants to fool you , or maybe your crush has a crush on you, but he wants to conceal it. It depends, if the crush`s friend is serios or not. If he`s serios.. Be Happy, He likes you! If he isn`t a serious guy, he just wants to make you miserable.
Reply:I agree with robi- just admit it!! So what that you like somebody???? It is nothing to be ashamed of, for gods sake!!! People love to tease about something others to make them feel embarassed, to make them feel vulnerable.
Other way is also not to react at all- to show complete ignorance. If they speak, let them speak...You just change the topic , or show zerro interest. That will make it uninteresting to continue teasing you.
Reply:only one way.simply simle and don't care.it will automatically outs them.
Reply:okay just dont care abt what they say,they r just irritaing and tickling u.DONT REACT.And next time if u have a crush on someone just dont tell anyone,even if its ur best friend,take my advice u wont regret.
Reply:Well just pretend you dont like that person anymore...

How do you tell 25 classmates a trip was cancelled & they lost 100.00 deposit?
the trip was cancell due to bankruptcy of the bus company. How do you explain to classmate and still uphold their goodwill toward you.
How do you tell 25 classmates a trip was cancelled %26amp; they lost 100.00 deposit?
I wouldn't cover and run. After coming clean, I'd call my local TV station/newspaper and tell them your situation. It might be an interesting human interest story and education for their viewers/readers (so that others don't make the same mistake). I live in a hurricane-prone area. The news media is always educating people on how not to get scammed (based on the misfortune of others). Perhaps another bus company will see the piece and pitch in to help you out. It's worth a try...
Reply:SOMEBODY BETTER DIG DEEP AND FIND THE MONEY TO REPAY THEM..
SCHOOL-TEACHER-OR WHOEVER....
Reply:I suggest finding a bus company that's still in business, buying a one-way ticket and getting the heck out of town.
Reply:Long distance.
Seriously, if there was nothing you could do about it, most of them will not hold it against you, but against the bus company. There will always be a few that blame you, and there is nothing you can do to make them change their mind.
Reply:just be staight with them it wasnt ur fault,u probably have to sue that co.but if there bankrupt ull probably never get back most of the money..
Reply:Refund the money or run for your life
Reply:book another bus from another bus company? using ur own money? erm.... or u can tell them the truth.. it's 4 bucks per pax.. so shouldnt be a lot of money if u break it down.. den bring some cny goodies for them to eat.. help clear ur goodies toooo.. =P
Reply:More info, please. What did you have to do with the trip? Did you organize it? Why are you the one to tell the classmates the bad news?
Reply:Its best to explain to the students that the bus company has filed for bankruptcy, which means the bus company didn't have enough money to transport with the buses anymore.
You will also HAVE to come up with the 100 dollars to give each of them their full ammount back. If you do not give the students back the money they paid for the trip, your going to have alot of angry parents on your hands.
Maybe in the future you should do more research into your plans for your students before announcing the trip.
Reply:It should not be the students' loss.
Reply:Well, how old r they?

What to do about rude classmates?
Ok this classmate of mine is really starting to annoy me. First, she came in to class 10 minutes late reaking of 5 different smells of perfume. She sat down next to me and took out her makeup case. She put on hand lotion, lipstick and fixed her hair in her mirror. When she finally decided to take notes her cellphone buzzed. She decided to start text messaging people for a couple minutes. Next, she got out a pack out peanut butter crackers and started crunching away...until she decided to text someone again. After our break was over, she stood in the hallway talking on her cellphone loudly and came back into class late again. Over the couse of the next hour she chomped on her gum, texted people and wiggled around in her seat and bookbag numerous times in addition to putting more lotion and lipgloss on. What should I have done? I just sat there quietly but she was so distracting and I wanted to tell her so....should I have said anything?
By the way: This is college I'm talking about.
What to do about rude classmates?
There is nothing you can really say politely without the risk of her getting defensive. If you don't care about that then by all means, mention these things to her as politely as you can (even though this person obviously has no regard for being polite herself!).
If confrontation is not your style, just make a point to pack up and sit away from her the next time this happens. The hint may be taken a little personally but oh well!
Otherwise, just cross your fingers in hopes that she does not choose to sit next to you every day!
For the lateness, you could tell your professor that it is distracting and he/she may say address this. Some are more lenient on being on time than others.
Reply:Ugh...then try to always sit in a seat that's surrounded by others so that when she comes in late, she does not pick YOU to sit by!!! Good luck! Report It
Reply:Next time she comes into class late or not ask her politely to sit somewhere else or you could get up and move. People like this are to wrapped up in themselves to notice they are being rude, they must be told. But, be ready to take the backlash from her, I'm sure you'll get an earful...
Reply:talk to the professor, let him/her know that this student is distracting to the point that you can't focus or learn
Reply:You should have moved to another seat. That would have said more than any words.
Reply:just take her to one side and say in a nice way 'i'm not being funny, but you seem a bit restless and fidgety in class and i'm finding its distracting me from my work, it would be really helpful to my studying if you could please be a bit more discreet?' and if that doesn't work, tell the the tutor so that they can have a word with her.
Reply:you might mention you are attending a class in law enforcement and drug awareness, ask this person if they have noticed if anyone is selling crack or speed.....there is a 1 800 number you could call and get a reward for turning them in....tell her these classes are only on Saturday and wouldn't interfere with her college classes if she wants to join you...she will probably get uncomfortable and move...or drop the class...when you find someone that rude they are probably not paying attention to anyone around them....including their own body language....also you could tell her all you hear in class is her, is it o.k. to tone down the constant movement stuff....good luck...
Reply:In college, I consider myself a paying customer and I want to get what I pay for. So if something my classmate is doing (like talking) distracts me, I think it's appropriate to say (very politely), "Excuse me, could you please stop talking? It's hard to hear."
Frankly, all of the behaviors that you've described were probably only super-distracting to you because you were sitting close to her. Perhaps next time you could just get up and move to another seat.
Reply:You can say politely that she is distracting you with her chaos,and that you take college very seriously and don't appreciate it. You can also ask her to go easy on the smells, that it makes your allergies flare up!
Reply:Do they have assigned seats in college these days? Don't sit by her. If she sits where you are, move. You owe no one any explanation.
Reply:Sit farther away from her and pretend she doesn't exist.
Reply:Politely ask her to chew her gum with her mouth closed, don't text message during class, and if she could be a little less of a distraction during class.
Reply:hi there, it seems to me that she is just looking for attention, just ignore her, and don't let it get the best of you,

I sent an email through classmates.com, how will they know they have a message?
Is the message sent to their email account by the sender or do they have to check the classmate.com website to find out. Im asking because I didnt know I had to be a paying member for them to read it and I dont want them to pay a member fee. Has this happened to anyone?
I sent an email through classmates.com, how will they know they have a message?
Generally these websites, send the alert mail to the person to their registered mail id - about your message. Your friend has to log in and read the message. It does work.
Reply:I am not a paying member and I sent an e-mail to a person (not a paying member either) on Classmates about a month ago. Classmates will send an e-mail to the person letting them know they have a message waiting. But here's the catch...you have GOT to be a PAYING member to be able to read any messages.
My friend never read the message. You know the funny thing is that I got an e-mail a few weeks back that said I had a message waiting from him. But when I looked at my Classmates outbox it said the message I had sent to my friend was unread. It's a scam. Try to find another way to contact your friend. My friend eventually found me on facebook. :-)

My classmates and me or me and my classmates?
which is correct?
My classmates and me or me and my classmates?
Depends on whether you are using this as a subject of a sentence or the object.
Subject:
My classmates and I went to the park.
(You would not say, "Me went to the park", would you?
Then don't say "My class mates and me went to the park".
Object:
The teacher sent my classmates and me out of the room.
You would not say, The teacher sent I out of the room".
Prepositional phrase:
The teacher gave an assignment to my classmates and me.
The tower was painted by my classmates and me.
Reply:The other answers are partially right, but it depends on the sentence it is in. But always, the person that isn't you comes first out of courtesy.
But, grammatically speaking, using "I" or "me" depends on the sentence surrounding it.
If the sentence is one where, without the other person, you would say "me", then it stays "me".
for example:
The cookie is for me.
The cookie is for him and me.
INCORRECT: The cookie is for him and I.
It stays 'me' because you wouldn't say "the cookie is for I."
But, if the sentence is one where you would use "I" if it was only you, then you would use "I" for one with both.
for example:
I like the cookie.
He and I both like the cookie.
INCORRECT: He and me both like the cookie.
This is because you would never say "Me like the cookie."
Have a good day. :D
Now I want a cookie.
Reply:Grammatically " My classmates and I" is the correct form. But in conversation you may hear "me and my classmates" or vice versa, which is grammatically wrong, but is used any way in conversation!
So if you are writing it down or you are talking in a formal way, you have to use the grammatically-correct form, but if you are just saying it among a group of friends, it doesn't really matter even if you say the wrong form. (In every day conversation you may hear people making such mistakes normally like: I don't have no money (which is grammatically wrong because of "double negation") instead of the correct form that is: "I don't have any money" or "I have no money")).
Reply:My bad..I clicked on the wrong vote for xotammie ..I ment to give her a thumbs up....She is right.....
Sorry...Wish I could correct it.
Reply:my classmates and I
Reply:My classmates and I. Both of yours are wrong.
Reply:Rule 1: Always state yourself (me or I) last, not first!
Rule 2: To find out how to use the correct term, I or me, you cover up the other people in the sentence and see which term you'd use.
For example: This is a photo of Laura and ____.
Would you say, "This is a photo of I." or "This is a photo of me."
I hope this helps!

she was like "take a minute and learn the english language! the proper term is my classmates and I"

Reply:The correct term would be My classmates and I.
Lets say the sentence was:
___________ ate a sandwich.
Would it be
A) My classmates and me
B) My classmates and I
C)Me and my classmates
It would be B. Think of it like this, take away the other people, and just say the sentence with YOU in it. Would it be
-me ate a sandwich
or
-I ate a sandwich
:]
So, basicly just take away the other people except YOU and see which one is correct.
Also, you ALWAYS put yourself after the other people.
In this case, you had
-my classmates and me
and
-me and my classmates
well, me and my classmates is TOTALLY wrong. You always put the other people (in this case, the classmates) before you.
Hope I helped!

One of my classmates died....?
Okay, so my classmate died after she got in a horrible car accident. I didn't know her all that well, but she was sweet to everybody. I'm having a pretty hard time dealing with the grief. My entire school is in mourning, and I don't have many people to turn to for comfort. My boyfriend doesn't go to school with me, so i can't get it from him. If you would just take some time out of your day to help one person deal with their loss, i would appreciate it so much. If you are willing to talk to me about her death or anything that might get my mind off it, please email or IM me. This is a terrible tragedy for my entire school. She was a junior and her prom is tomorrow night. I am a freshman, but she touched my heart in so many ways. Thanks
One of my classmates died....?
Oh...I'm really very sorry for your loss.
Really, losing someone is one of life's hardest things to endure. You should go to your family, a pastor, even a counselor. God hears your cries too. you can't hide that hurt forever. I'll say a prayer for you, your friend all those who are strucken hardly by this.
if you ever wanna email me, feel free to, my email is vbarrera09@yahoo.com i don't have im but you can email me though.
In my prayers,
~ Veronica

Reply:I am sorry you are hurting so badly.
Helping others always helps me when I am in pain. Consider what you might do for her family, as they are in even more pain than you are. Could you write them a letter telling them what she meant to you? Send a flower arrangement? Ask your church to set up a prayer circle? Offer to run errands for them, like walking the dog, taking out garbage, washing the dishes? get your friends together for a candle light vigil with prayers?
Please also talk to your folks. They would want to hear how hard this is for you.

Reply:This happens in almost every highschool I lost 4 friends while in highschool from car wrecks and all involved alcohol. Its very hard and talking about it will help you alot. The funeral will help you out alot to. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Talk to your family about it they will help you sort it out.
Reply:Are you in Maine? I have friends up there who told me about it...
Honey...death is hard on everyone. My step-sister died in a terrible car crash with her boyfriend last year. She was 16...she'd had her liscence for a month...
Even if your boyfriend doesn't go to school with you, he could still lend an ear. he should be there for you when you need him. They should be setting up some grief counselers at your school soon...you can go and talk to one of them.
My advice to you is make the most of your life. Live every day to it's fullest because you never know which one will be your last. Appreciate the beauty in life. Stop and smell a flower. Lay in the grass and look at the clouds. Blow bubbles. Smile at a stranger. Simple things make people's lives better. you'll get through this.
Reply:l'm sorry for your lose, three of my friends passed away when I was in high school. Two from car accidents.
It is very difficult to deal with and I still think about them all the time. I don't know how to help you through this other then to say that the pain gets easier with time. Just hold on to the memories that you do have of her.
Peace.

Your Friend in Christ Jesus: The following is not my words, I repeat Not My Words, but I found it on the internet.:
How to Deal With Depression!
Jeremiah 20:7-18
Christians don’t get depressed do they? Oh yes, they do! Godly people since Adam and Eve have struggled with depression. Moses was at a point in his life when the Israelites had built a golden calf to worship that he asked God to go ahead and take his life.
David cried out in the Psalms, “O my soul, why are you downcast within me?” Elijah, in 1 Kings 19:4, after his great victory on Mt. Carmel, fell into a great depression and asked God to kill him and end his misery. The subject of our study today, Jeremiah, who you could make a case for being the greatest prophet in the Bible, suffered greatly from depression!
So, if you are feeling depressed sometimes, just know that you are in the “miserable majority”! I also want you to know that there is hope for you in God’s Word for dealing with depression when you find yourself surrounded by it! Let’s read our portion on Scripture now:
“You deceived me, Lord, and I was really fooled. You are stronger than I am, and you have defeated me. People never stop sneering and insulting me. You have let me announce only destruction and death. Your message has brought me nothing but insults and trouble. Sometimes I tell myself not to think about you, Lord, or even mention your name. But your message burns in my heart and bones, and I cannot keep silent. I heard the crowds whisper, “Everyone is afraid. Now’s our chance to accuse Jeremiah!” All of my so-called friends are just waiting for me to make a mistake. They say, “Maybe Jeremiah can be tricked. Then we can overpower him and get even at last.” But you, Lord, are a mighty soldier, standing at my side. Those troublemakers will fall down and fail—terribly embarrassed, forever ashamed. Lord All-Powerful, you test those who do right, and you know every heart and mind. I have told you my complaints, so let me watch you take revenge on my enemies. I sing praises to you, Lord. You rescue the oppressed from the wicked. Put a curse on the day I was born! Don’t bless my mother. Put a curse on the man who told my father, “Good news! You have a son.” May that man be like the towns you destroyed without pity (read Sodom %26amp; Gomorrah). Let him hear shouts of alarm in the morning and battle cries at noon. He deserves to die for not killing me before I was born. Then my mother’s body would have been my grave. Why did I have to be born? Was it just to suffer and die in shame?”
Jeremiah 20:7-18 (CEV)
Now folks, anyway you want to cut it that is an individual that is severely depressed! Wow! Have you ever felt like that? Well, join the club!
Some of the reason why we get depressed
1. Some depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the body.
It is a well-documented medical fact that certain chemical imbalances in your body will cause depression. If you find yourself in a long period of depression you should consult your doctor. There are many medicines that are available now to help ease or eliminate this kind of depression.
2. You perceive that someone you trust very much has deceived ou.
That could be God, as in Jeremiah’s case, your spouse, a close friend, your boss, a co-worker or a classmate. Something has happened in your life that you perceive as a betrayal. This can cause you to feel very depressed.
In Jeremiah’s case, he thought that God had really deceived him. For over 20 years Jeremiah had been declaring God’s message to the people. He told them that they needed to repent or they would be destroyed! Yet, not one single person had responded to his message!
Imagine preaching for 20 years and not seeing one person respond to your message! That would put you straight into a bummer!
3. You find yourself in a situation or circumstance that you have no control over, or power to change.
Jeremiah felt like he was stuck! He wanted to bail out, but God was stronger than he was, therefore he could not alter the situation he found himself in. Day after day of the same exact thing! Many of us have faced similar times in our lives and experienced the exact same result. Depression!
4. You are the object of constant ridicule!
When people are always making fun of you, or you are the butt of their cruel jokes day after day, it is a terrible blow to your self-esteem! When I was in the Air Force, we had a guy in our unit that wasn’t very lucky with the ladies. At one time, he had asked 18 different girls out on a date without ever hearing the word “yes”. We dogged him unmercifully over it. On the 19th try, a girl finally said yeas, and we formed a victory line outside the barracks for him. He laughed it off, but you know that had to hurt him very deeply inside!
We’ve all been in this situation at one time or another in our lives. If you haven’t yet, you will. It’s just a matter of time!
5. Your life and the dreams you’ve had for it are not coming true, and further more, probably won’t.
Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet at the tender age of 16. He had big dreams! He pictured himself being used by God to turn the nation of Israel around! It’s now 20 years later, and not one single thing has changed in the country! Not one! He starts feeling that his entire life has been a waste! All gone for nothing!
Have you ever had these feelings? Oh, we’ve all had big dreams haven’t we? We dream of making a real difference in the world around us! We dream of getting that record deal and touring the world, singing and declaring the “Good News”! Or some other dreams of making it to the top of some profession, inventing the cure for cancer, hitting a home run in the bottom of the 9th to win the World Series, or making the last shot of a basketball game to win it!! What was yours?
6. You are tired and burned out!
Sometimes we just lose our perspective on things. We burn out! We get tired! When we do, it is very easy to fall into depression because we think things are never going to change!
What are some of the symptoms of depression? (See verse 10; 14-18 again)
1. Paranoia – We are afraid of everything!
“I heard the crowds whisper, “Everyone is afraid. Now’s our chance to accuse Jeremiah!” All of my so-called friends are just waiting for me to make a mistake. They say, “Maybe Jeremiah can be tricked. Then we can overpower him and get even at last.”
Jeremiah 20:10 (CEV)
We start thinking that everyone is out to get us! Even our friends and family! We become afraid to act out because we fear making a mistake. In short, we become paralyzed!
2. Anger/Short Temper – We are angry at everything and everyone!
“Put a curse on the day I was born! Don’t bless my mother.”
Jeremiah 20:14 (CEV)
Jeremiah was blaming everyone for his troubles, even his own mother. It was her fault for bringing him into this world! Do you see how ridiculous we can become when we’re depressed?
3. Bitterness – We can become poisoned to the world and people around us!
Put a curse on the man who told my father, “Good news! You have a son.”
Jeremiah 20:15 (CEV)
Jeremiah didn’t even know this person, yet in his bitterness and depression he lashed out at him too. If he had the opportunity to meet this man, in his state of mind, he would have rejected him, thus losing the opportunity for whatever God brought the man into his life for.
Bitterness hurts only us in the end. Bitterness costs us dearly!
4. Vindictiveness – We destroy relationships in an effort to make ourselves feel better!
“May that man be like the towns you destroyed without pity. Let him hear shouts of alarm in the morning and battle cries at noon.”
Jeremiah 20:16 (CEV)
He wanted God to punish that man just like God did the cities Sodom and Gomorrah! Wow! He wanted God to rain down fire and brimstone on a guy he didn’t even know! He was simply lashing out, wanting others to feel the same kind (or worse) of pain that he was feeling!
Have you ever been here before? I hope you never get there, but depression, left untreated, can drive you to this place! Oh, there is one more place, even worse!
5. Suicidal Tendencies
“He deserves to die for not killing me before I was born. Then my mother’s body would have been my grave.”
Jeremiah 20:17 (CEV)
Sometimes the pain can be so great that you think the only way to get better is to die! My friend, that is not so! Suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem! There is hope! There is help!
Resources available to combat and defeat depression.
1. Recognize and realize that God is still working in your life!
Even though God may be silent right now, He still loves you and is working in your life! He has not deserted you! He has not given up on you! He’s still working His will and His way in your life!
Even Jesus faced depression! On the cross, while he was dying bearing our sins, God had to turn His back because He could not look upon the sins of the world. Jesus cried out, “My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?”
God had not forsaken him! Evidence what happened 3 days later at the resurrection! The Day of Your Relief is coming! The Gaithers wrote and sang a song back in the 1980’s. One of it’s lines was, “Hold on my child. Joy comes in the morning!” God is still working in us!
Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death. [Even the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep."] No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39
2. Regardless of how bad things seem, never quit talking to God!
“But you, Lord, are a mighty soldier, standing at my side.”
Jeremiah 20:11 (CEV)
Jeremiah was honest with God. He yelled! He screamed! He even cursed, but he did it all with God! He knew that God was his only real source of hope and deliverance! Don’t stop talking with God during these times! If you do, you will cut yourself off from your healing and help!
3. Remember, when you speak to Jesus, you are speaking to someone who knows exactly how you feel!
He’s been rejected! He’s been made fun of! He’s been p[plotted against and has been the object of deception! He knows what it means to be unappreciated and burned out!
4. Try to recall some of your past victories!
Beloved, God has done some really great things for you in your life! Remember those! Try to dwell on them! Why? Because what God has done in the past, He can and will do again now and in the future!
5. Reclaim the promises of God and choose to praise Him!
“I sing praises to you, Lord. I sing praises to you, Lord. You rescue the oppressed from the wicked.”
Jeremiah 20:13 (CEV)
Beloved, praise is the only thing that can lift you up and out of the bottomless pit of depression and despair! Even Jeremiah knew this!
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 (NKJV)
This was the Scripture that Jesus read in the Synagogue the day he declared his public ministry. These are the things God has promised to give you through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! I underlined one part of that Scripture though. He promised to give “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”
Understand something that is very important to you and me. A garment is something that we choose to put on or not! Each morning when you go to the closet to get dressed, you deliberately choose what garments you are going to put on! So it is with praise! You must make the choice to praise God! If you do, He promises to life your spirit of heaviness!!!
It is impossible to truly praise God and remain unhappy! If you make the choice to rejoice, God will lift you up, hold you in His arms and love and comfort you! Praise is God’s resident address! There are other promises God has made to you as well. Get out your Bible and begin to research these. Claim each one as God reveals them to you. Dwell on them rather than your depression and circumstances. You will be lifted up!
6. Get help by talking with someone you know that you can trust!
Depression happens! It is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t have to be a permanent part of life! There is help! There is hope! There are no instant cures or quick fixes unless God so wills, but remember this my friend. He will see you through it! If you are facing depression today, begin the road back right now. Tell God all about it!
Scream and yell if you need to! Get it all out! Vent it! Trust me, God is big enough to take it! He knows you inside and out! Trust Him! Let Him comfort and guide you! See a doctor if your depression has lasted a long time. You know God uses them too!
May God richly bless and keep you this week as you strive to give Him your best!

Beloved, God has done some really great things for you in your life! Remember those! Try to dwell on them! Why? Because what God has done in the past, He can and will do again now and in the future!
5. Reclaim the promises of God and choose to praise Him!
“I sing praises to you, Lord. I sing praises to you, Lord. You rescue the oppressed from the wicked.”
Jeremiah 20:13 (CEV)
Beloved, praise is the only thing that can lift you up and out of the bottomless pit of depression and despair! Even Jeremiah knew this!
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 (NKJV)
This was the Scripture that Jesus read in the Synagogue the day he declared his public ministry. These are the things God has promised to give you through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! I underlined one part of that Scripture though. He promised to give “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”
Understand something that is very important to you and me. A garment is something that we choose to put on or not! Each morning when you go to the closet to get dressed, you deliberately choose what garments you are going to put on! So it is with praise! You must make the choice to praise God! If you do, He promises to life your spirit of heaviness!!!
It is impossible to truly praise God and remain unhappy! If you make the choice to rejoice, God will lift you up, hold you in His arms and love and comfort you! Praise is God’s resident address! There are other promises God has made to you as well. Get out your Bible and begin to research these. Claim each one as God reveals them to you. Dwell on them rather than your depression and circumstances. You will be lifted up!
6. Get help by talking with someone you know that you can trust!
Depression happens! It is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t have to be a permanent part of life! There is help! There is hope! There are no instant cures or quick fixes unless God so wills, but remember this my friend. He will see you through it! If you are facing depression today, begin the road back right now. Tell God all about it!
Scream and yell if you need to! Get it all out! Vent it! Trust me, God is big enough to take it! He knows you inside and out! Trust Him! Let Him comfort and guide you! See a doctor if your depression has lasted a long time. You know God uses them too!
May God richly bless and keep you this week as you strive to give Him your best!

A classmates father has died.He is sad, and I need ideas on how to help him feel better.?
The problem is, I don't really know him that well. He's kind of a shy kid too. How should I approach him and how should I help him.
Please be respectful in your answers.
Thanks
A classmates father has died.He is sad, and I need ideas on how to help him feel better.?
tell him you're there for him. dont say "i can imagine how you feel" or "i understand" cause honestly no one can understand the loss of parent until they live through it themselves. and if praying is your thing. than tell him you're praying for him.
Reply:Time.
lots of people just need time. If you give him a small card/note ...you can just sign, and say,
"Im sorry for your loss/Sending my sympathy, etc. and maybe say, "if you ever need to talk, Im here."
That way, when he is ready (he may never want to talk about it)...at least you were a person who said you be available to listen, etc. I think a lot of people dont say anything, or write a note at all, since they are unsure of what to say. hope that helps.
Reply:A death of a parent is a very difficult thing for everyone of all ages to deal with. The main thing to know is that it takes time to heal and usually a long time. Just be thoughtful %26amp; considerate. Maybe you could ask him to hang out or something and if he wants to talk about it he will.
Reply:just be there for him someone to talk to
Reply:Write him some kind of card or like something for the whole class to sign for him and with little notes on the side from each kid in the class. At this time he really needs a friend, so if you would be his friend that would be great.

I caught 2 classmates having sex in the locker room. Should I tell?
I'm a senior in high school. I have gym last block of the day. Today I was late getting back into the locker room to change b/c I was talking with my coach. When I got back in to change I heard a noise behind the wall in the locker room. When I go to leave I pass by a classmate of mine and a freshman! They are having sex in a shower stall with the curtain wide open. I'm pretty sure they didn't see me so I just rushed out of the locker room. The boy is in my grade so I'm pretty sure he's 18. The girl is a freshman! So if I told what I saw he could get into some serious trouble. Should I keep my mouth shut?

Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster.?
One classmate says that each summit must be lower than the previous one. Your other classmate says this is nonsense, for as long as the first one is the highest, it doesn't matter what height the others are. What do you say?
Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster.?
Friction is there no matter how small it is. We have to calculate it and then decide. Normally the second argument is right.
Reply:The first summit should be the highest. This is for sure. Now the question rises that can the third summit be higher than the second one? So, for this I'll say that it is possible. The height that the coaster can reach depends upon its velocity and mass. Its mass is constant for a single ride, thus the effect of mass is removed, thus only velocity matters. The gravity of earth pulls it down, but if its velocity is enough to neglect the gravity then the third summit can be made higher than the second one.
You can understand it by considering that you made a roller coaster whose 1st summit is 200m high. th second summit is only 10m high and the third summit is 25m high. Then it is possible for the coaster to successfully cross the 2nd and the 3rd summit.

Classmates dream of me?
I want this dream of my classmate to be interpreted.
According to my classmate to me : "I dreamed of you conversing with me in the telephone. In the telephone I heard that you can speak straight and fluent Filipino".
Actually, I am a Filipino who can't speak the native language (Filipino). I know some words though. I have been living in the Philippines all my life. I had a american relative (RIP) who taught me to speak english thus, I was deprived from speaking Filipino.
So, should I start training myself to speak the language? What are your interpretations? I even don't know the national anthem itself. I know, I am extremely unpatriotic to my homeland. So when answering this try not curse with vulgar words.

My 5yo son is the perfect student 2 or 3 days a week. The other days he is a bully towards classmates?
He hits, and spanks classmates, screams at teacher when she disiplines him, refuses to do as he is told and throws things.and is a disruption to the entire class. He just started kindergarten this year in the same school he has been in for the past 18 mos.

Reply:Maybe he feels intimidated by the other students. He could feel insecure about himself. He needs a good spanking in the rear and a talking to.That should do the trick. But it could also be the t.v. Be care full with what he watches on t.v a lot of kids like to copy what they see and hear around them.

Milk can be the culpret, and it may not bother for the first couple of days n then build up to drive the child crazy -- Chocolate can do it too.
Reply:maybe hes just misunderstood, reward him handsmely when he displays this temper and maybe hecan become a ufc pit fighter
Reply:Has he always been like this, or just since he started kindergarten?
Is he punished at home for acting up in school?
I would definitely seek some help. This is something that you need to get a hold of now, before it escalates into worse things happening.
Reply:maybe its his way of crying out for attention.. give him more attention and make him feel special.. don;t go overboard and spoil him though

Old semi-comedy movie in the 90s with a teenage American James Bond type kid who has to save his classmates?
I know my description sucks, but my memory is very vague on it, bear with me:
Ok, so from what I can remember it's sometime around the time Goonies came out and I don't recall if it was very popular, I think I may have saw it on TV or something.
Basically, there's this kid who is kind-of a Ferris Bueller type slacker and somehow the plot involves his teacher and classmates getting taken by a woman I THINK and he has to go save them all. I remember something about a mansion where he was driving to in a nice car, perhaps a ferari. All I can recall is that near the end they were in some cage I think being lowered into a substance and he had to save them. But basically he was like James Bond but more in a comedic sense. Any ideas on what this movie could be?!? I think it has to be sometime in early 90s. Sorry again for the bad description.

Nobody is impressed by you trying to impress others. Are you that naive that you would think that a classroom of students isn't going to know your bullshitting them? Nobody is that good!
You don't need to impress anyone but yourself and by the way you are using the English language in your question I would suggest you start with taking English 101.
Just be truthful and short.

You will find it much easier to make new friends and enjoy your school term than to have to sit in that class the whole term knowing that others know your a fake because of something you said. Because you were trying to impress them!

Was it wrong of me to tell the professor I feel stupid in her class in front of all my classmates?
I just started a new class. The work is hard, the discussion is hard. Everytime I participate in discussion, people don't listen and change the subject. I told the professor at the end of class that I feel stupid in her class because I am new and plus I feel this way because it seems that nobody elaborates on what I just said (they cut me off).
I told her that I as a person feel stupid in her class and that sometimes I really want to say something but I don't say it because I feel that if I did the class would think I was stupid.
I made a 4.0 GPA in my master's degree. This is the Ph.D program and I am the rookie, so I guess what I say holds no weight, but was I wrong to confess this to the professor and my classmates after the class ended? Did I probably leave a negative impression of myself?
Was it wrong of me to tell the professor I feel stupid in her class in front of all my classmates?
I don't think you were wrong to say how you feel. It's always best to let people know how you're feeling so they can change their behavior if they want.
I doubt the professor will have any prejudences against you unless he/she is a generally overbearing person. Some classmates may have a poorer opinion of you, but surely some will understand. In fact, there's a good chance you were speaking for more than yourself. It takes guts to do say what you did, and there will likely be those who are thankful you said it.
Are you the only rookie in the class? In my experience it's often hard to learn the new lingo when you start out anywhere, and maybe that's part of why you're struggling. You're obviously a very intelligent woman, so it's not that you ARE stupid. But we all feel that way at one time or another.
As for the discussion, it sounds like you're in a particularly vocal group. Maybe they know that the professor is especially fond of students who speak up so they are all vying for the top spot. If so, you've trumped them all by pointing out that you're not getting a chance to speak. It will be interesting to see if they give you time at your next class. The professor may take the opportunity to layout new rules too.
But if you still find it hard to speak up, you're going to have to learn how to do it. I don't know what you're studying, but being heard may be an important part of the discipline. If it's not, give it your best shot anyway.
Good luck tomorrow. Get some good sleep though. It will help. Let us know how it turns out OK?
Reply:I understand your situation, I often hated going to discussion classes because I felt that whatever I said was going to be wrong or sound stupid in front of everyone in the class. But you shouldn't say you're stupid, you are in a phd program. Just participate in the discussions, and just contribute and thats all.
Reply:You told the truth, you were very brave. I wouldnt have had the guts to. You werent wrong , it was the right thing. As for the second question, it depends. It didnt leave a negative impression
of you but thats just my opinion, your classmates probably thinks so to. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it if I were you.
Reply:Congrat's for ur courage thats very good coz u expressed ur feeling accordingly and u r mature enough now Be real Never feel stupid again coz other dont listen to u ur purpose was to study and to win the battle press on U r not in the world coz of pple but u r in the world coz of God stand firm and never loose hope in life all the best!!!
Reply:If she enjoys her job, she will help you in whatever ways she can. My professors always did whatever they could to help me with my studies. I am dyslexic and it is so hard to comprehend anything in a class room. I would spend 40 hours a week studying while the others spent 4 to 7 hours studying. My g.p.a. was 2.5 and theirs were much higher. Ya know, I am just as happy with my hard earned 2.5 as you are with your 4.0. All we must do is our best. I asked questions that I thought would get laughs because they should have been easy to answer. Those questions were not thought of as stupid because most students wanted to ask but they thought the question was stupid. Stupid is as stupid does?
Reply:Sorry to tell you this, but I think you made the wrong decision in telling her the way you did. You probably learned in your master's program that you have to play the game and it's 10 times more important your Ph.D program.
I think a more mature approach would've been to go to her office hours, tell her your problem, ask her for her feedback on how you can participate in the class better.
On the plus side, this really isn't that big of a deal, and people will forget about it soon.
I told her that I as a person feel stupid in her class and that sometimes I really want to say something but I don't say it because I feel that if I did the class would think I was stupid.
I made a 4.0 GPA in my master's degree. This is the Ph.D program and I am the rookie, so I guess what I say holds no weight, but was I wrong to confess this to the professor and my classmates after the class ended? Did I probably leave a negative impression of myself?
Was it wrong of me to tell the professor I feel stupid in her class in front of all my classmates?
I don't think you were wrong to say how you feel. It's always best to let people know how you're feeling so they can change their behavior if they want.
I doubt the professor will have any prejudences against you unless he/she is a generally overbearing person. Some classmates may have a poorer opinion of you, but surely some will understand. In fact, there's a good chance you were speaking for more than yourself. It takes guts to do say what you did, and there will likely be those who are thankful you said it.
Are you the only rookie in the class? In my experience it's often hard to learn the new lingo when you start out anywhere, and maybe that's part of why you're struggling. You're obviously a very intelligent woman, so it's not that you ARE stupid. But we all feel that way at one time or another.
As for the discussion, it sounds like you're in a particularly vocal group. Maybe they know that the professor is especially fond of students who speak up so they are all vying for the top spot. If so, you've trumped them all by pointing out that you're not getting a chance to speak. It will be interesting to see if they give you time at your next class. The professor may take the opportunity to layout new rules too.
But if you still find it hard to speak up, you're going to have to learn how to do it. I don't know what you're studying, but being heard may be an important part of the discipline. If it's not, give it your best shot anyway.
Good luck tomorrow. Get some good sleep though. It will help. Let us know how it turns out OK?
Reply:I understand your situation, I often hated going to discussion classes because I felt that whatever I said was going to be wrong or sound stupid in front of everyone in the class. But you shouldn't say you're stupid, you are in a phd program. Just participate in the discussions, and just contribute and thats all.
Reply:You told the truth, you were very brave. I wouldnt have had the guts to. You werent wrong , it was the right thing. As for the second question, it depends. It didnt leave a negative impression
of you but thats just my opinion, your classmates probably thinks so to. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it if I were you.
Reply:Congrat's for ur courage thats very good coz u expressed ur feeling accordingly and u r mature enough now Be real Never feel stupid again coz other dont listen to u ur purpose was to study and to win the battle press on U r not in the world coz of pple but u r in the world coz of God stand firm and never loose hope in life all the best!!!
Reply:If she enjoys her job, she will help you in whatever ways she can. My professors always did whatever they could to help me with my studies. I am dyslexic and it is so hard to comprehend anything in a class room. I would spend 40 hours a week studying while the others spent 4 to 7 hours studying. My g.p.a. was 2.5 and theirs were much higher. Ya know, I am just as happy with my hard earned 2.5 as you are with your 4.0. All we must do is our best.

Is there an episode of a crime drama where a teenager uses Photoshop to make naked pictures of his classmates?
I heard about an episode of a crime drama type show where a teenage kid makes naked pictures of his classmates using Photoshop. I've never seen it, only heard about it, so I don't know what TV series it is (maybe Law and Order, or something like that), and I'm not sure if such an episode even exists.
So, does such an episode exist? What TV series is it? And what's the title of the episode?
Is there an episode of a crime drama where a teenager uses Photoshop to make naked pictures of his classmates?
I thought this sounded familiar, like I had seen it. I watch all the CSI shows, Law and Order shows, and a few others that it could have been on. I found one episode of L%26amp;O SVU that could be the one... Season 5, the episode is called "Mean".
Here is the imdb link that tells the plotline.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0629683/
if that isn't it, hopefully someone else's memory is better than mine.

Did you ever have to strip off for a shower in PE with a spanked backside for your classmates to see.?
It happened to me once and it was so embarrassing. It happened to several classmates thru school. Also if we'd been caned at school the day before.
Did you ever have to strip off for a shower in PE with a spanked backside for your classmates to see.?
Commonplace at my school for one of us girls to be displaying a recently caned or spanked backside.
Reply:If you're being spanked hard enough to leave a long lasting mark (more then half an hour for redness to totally clear and should never leave bruising or welts) it is abuse and should be reported.
Reply:I never showered after PE for some reason. I think I would have felt uncomfortable. I did it at home though
Reply:So fletch, DID you get caned at school once.
At least there wouldn't be much to see by the next day!?

What do you think is my ex love's motivation for continuing to sign my guest book at classmates.com?
He is married, I am married with a VERY large family including many children. Our relationship ended over 20 years ago. He broke my heart and I truly loved him. He continues to sign my guestbook at classmates.com. I have tried to ignore him, but my curiosity is killing me. It is probably a book better left closed and even burned. Opinions? How should I respond? Continue to ignore?
What do you think is my ex love's motivation for continuing to sign my guest book at classmates.com?
Keep ignoring him, because the minute you open up dialogue with him, he will be all over you. He will take that action as an invitation and start trying to find other ways to communicate with you or see you.
Do you really want to let this guy back into your life. Be careful.
Reply:Ignore it! He is trying to get your attention and play games with you. If he truly wanted to contact you he could. Its best left alone.
Reply:Continue to ignore. He's trying to get your attention. Stay away. Stay very far away.
Good luck and God Bless.

Am i or are they correct? i'm tired of these, my parents, sister, maid, relatives, classmates,!?
uhm okay just to burst this out....i'm tired of the attitudes of these poeple around me...look, my parents are badly eccentric..i have a dog and is fond of running everywhere, just to roam around. so ive got to keep the door narrowly open when i go out of every room where my pet is in. but m parents, i think theyre sick of just controlling the opening of the door whenever they go out! so in result, i have to run through our house till the next street, just to run and to grab my dog. and then theyll blame me! i mean they already know what my dog does, then theyll do that? and is it really hard to remember and do the opening of the door narrowly ?narrow enough for my dog not to go out? and then the next day, ill just know that half of the market knows it, mind you, that it is all my fault...but my reason not for chaining my pet is i love her and i expect that my parents are able to do very BASIC THINGS. hai....my sister, plastic...my classmates, bully, immatured, ...maid, plastic...tsk
Am i or are they correct? i'm tired of these, my parents, sister, maid, relatives, classmates,!?

What would you do if your child keeps getting made fun of for wearing glasses by her classmates?
I have a daughter who is in elementary school and she tells me that alot of her classmates make fun of her for wearing glasses. We have to wait until she is 12 to get contacts-she has been wearing glasses since the age of 2. It breaks my heart to see her cry and for her to tell me that kids call her a nerd, geeky, four eyes, and the list goes on and on. Just need a little help to build up her self esteem. My husband and I tell her how pretty she is and that alot of kids are jealous, but kids can be so cruel. I also told her that alot of famous and smart people throughout history wore glasses. We have also spoken to her teacher. Any suggestions?
What would you do if your child keeps getting made fun of for wearing glasses by her classmates?
Unfortunately many people have not taught children to respect others. I would take it up with the teacher and the principle of the school. Maybe they could hold a class on respect. Children can be taught that being made fun of can be hurtful. In the case of glasses, each child could have to look through something to make their vision blurred and be taught that glasses help you to read. I would give each child a very blurred text to read and then make them read a story with the blurred vision and see how it feels to be laughed at. Let all the children read this way and then let your daughter read with her glasses to show that sometimes glasses are necessary. I would do this in class if I ever saw or heard a student making fun of another child. They could have their ears blocked and be taught that hearing aides help you hear. It is sad that so many children make fun of kids who are different. I believe it is the responsibility of the parents, teachers and principles to help children learn respect. God bless your daughter and I hope you have taught her that it is not her it is the ignorance of the other children. She should stand proud.
Reply:That stinks, and I too find it surprising because my daughter is 10 and so many kids wear glasses. meet with the teacher again and let them know you mean business (my daugher's had teachers who had an absolute no insult/bully rule and others who were afraid to make waves unless the parents stepped in firmly), tell the teacher if they don't do anything, next step principal, make sure you document first meeting with teacher, if prinicipal doesn't stop it, move to superintendent. This is still considered bullying and for whatever reason your daughter is showing a weakness to the bullying, i.e. not snapping back with some comment to shut them up or ignoring it so they see her as a target and we all know what kids are like. So, bottom line, the teacher/principal needs to set obvious consequences to the next person bullying your daughter, end of discussion. Remember, the old days are gone and you need to advocate for your child. Anyone who says kid will be kids need to realize that we have grown as a society and will no longer accept the sometimes life long insecurities that can result from cruel, mis-aligned kids.
Reply:I still don't get how kids are so stupid about glasses. There are SO many cute frames for girls now that there's no reason to be embarrassed anymore (your daughter's not stupid- the other kids are). Eyeglasses are incorporated into runway fashion. Watch any TV show (especially stuff like CSI), and you'll see the main characters sporting uber trendy sunglasses. Glasses are now considered a fashion accessory rather than a crutch. Helping your daughter understand that might help build her confidence. I personally wear contacts most of the time, but sometimes I like to wear my glasses because they're so darn cute. Other than just pointing out how cool glasses can be, I don't know what to tell you. I teach 3rd grade and am young. Whenever I know a student is going to get glasses for the first time, I make it a point to wear mine (I'm still considered cool by the kids, lol). I also offer to clean students' glasses every now and then. It becomes a normal affair in my classroom to where no one thinks anything about it. Perhaps if you could get her teacher in on the act it would help things.
Reply:the poor kid ! mean people suck ! anyway, i don't see what other choice you have but to talk to the teacher again. the kids are being unkind, and they should be made to cut it out. i agree with the poster who suggests you escalate it up the chain if you get no results by talking to the teacher again. good luck !
Reply:This happened to my daughter. KIDS ARE just mean sometimes. I am sorry to say that it doesn't stop until she gets contacts. It just keeps getting easier for her to deal with is all. Sad...but true. As soon as my daughter could handle the contacts we got them for her. She was SO HAPPY! However...that's not going to help your daughter now. IF she can have her ignore them and that's the hardest thing of all to do. So sorry....I "know" how hard this is for her: and you.
Reply:just keep talking to the teacher about it and keep encouraging her you should take her to the eye doctor and let your daughter pic out the glasses she wants!!
Reply:It is amazing to me people still make fun of kids with glasses since it is not that uncommon anymore. Sounds like you are saying and doing all the right things to help her. Unfortunately kids can be very cruel and will make fun of other kids....if it isn't about glasses then it would be about something else. I'm sure other kids are also being made fun of if they have something different about them (just a sad fact of growing up). Just keep reassuring your daughter like you have been doing because unfortunately you cannot stop the kids from teasing her. I agree with the other responses too....maybe a newer more stylist pair of glasses might help.
Reply:wow thats bad,she should try to be as strong as possible,if anyone says anything to her,she should act like it doesnt phase her,tell her to not let them see her weak side,cause when they do then they prey on it,if she acts like she doesnt care they will back off
and how bad are her glasses,you can get her a really sylish pair
Reply:get her a new, stylish pair of glasses.
Reply:Start finding pictures of beautiful women in glasses. She might need some proof. And make sure that her glasses are as stylish as possible (with in budgeting reason of course). Many celebs wear glasses even when they don't need them. Show her these pictures, it might help. Other than that, keep being supportive and see if you can get her in girl scouts or dance if she's not already. Perhaps in a different environment other girls may treat her nicer.

Why these things make each person special. Make it a learning experience within the class for your daughter. Maybe bring in play glasses to hand out after to each child.
Reply:The only thing you could do after the steps you have taken is call the childrens parents. But you have to realize if the children want to make fun of your child they will. It doesn't matter what you say or what the parents say kids are cruel and some parents don't correct their children. Another thing you may want to consider is maybe transferring her to another school. I know it sounds like you are backing out. Standing up for yourself can get them to stop but doesn't always work.

Make sure she's surrounded by GOOD friends. Kids who love her for who she is. Praise her, let her know how beautiful you think she is. It won't help immediately, but in the long run, it will help a ton. Make sure she knows that she shouldn't have to change anything for people to like her. Getting contacts will be great, but its not going to fix everything.. Is she in sports or Scouts or anything? Somewhere where she can meet a good group of girls to be friends with?

Do Japanese women want to meet Americans and how do they do it when they have foreign classmates already?
Many Japanese come for say 1 weeek, one month or even a year, or whahtever . They come as foreign students many times. And they meet foreigners studying in their ESL class .. I believe they are comfortable and its enough for them. So do they even care about meeting the American people.
Or is it my responsibility to try to befriend them?
I want to but i dont see any way of coming in contact with them. They already have their Mexican, South american, Chinese, korean etc classmates, they have fun with that life. Have great activities in their ESL class
why would they even want to meet Americans.

Parallelism concerns the balance of a sentence, or the similarity of words, phrases, or clauses in a list or series.
Parallelism is necessary when a series of words, thoughts, or ideas appears in one sentence. If you encounter a sentence that just sounds wrong or clunky, look for conjunctions like and, or, but, and yet to determine whether the sentence is off balance.

What makes a person want to take a gun out and kill his or her fellow classmates... what makes anyone kill?
Youve heard lately about the Virgina Tec shooting. the Columbine shooting... and i personaly go to Santana High School where their was a school shooting 6 years ago. my question is what makes a person come to the sanctuary of school and decided to kill the his or her classmates...
What makes a person want to take a gun out and kill his or her fellow classmates... what makes anyone kill?
This is a very hard question in terms of science, as almost all mass murderers intend suicide at the end of the killing spree, and most succeed. All that can really be said is that they are people who have been rejected by the small society they know and plan to revenge themselves upon anyone who isn't them. The psychology of mass murderers, insofar as anything is known about it, tends to resemble that of modern assassins of prominent people.

Reply:A person who can't cope with the realities of life is the most likely to be a killer. He thinks he has been mistreated, (and in some cases this is true) so he thinks the ultimate revenge is to kill. He may be depressed about a loss. I also blame the violence in movies and television, where people routinely kill their enemies as a form of revenge. Any an unstable person will brood about things that bother him until he has worked up a righteous anger and he sometimes doesn't really realize that his doing something wrong, just that he is getting even.
Reply:Are you the type of person that always keeps their cool no matter what? Imagine always being nice, or quiet and just letting things go. "Like water off a duck's back." Now imagine something bad happening to you for no reason, like someone "keying" your car. You know who they are, but you can't prove it. Now imagine this happenning day after day. Finally, you are going to snap and confront them, or attack their car. Some people have a higher breaking point or just more problems. Eventually they snap, full of hate, vengence and uncontrolled anger behind them. That's why you always hear the comment "He/she was such a quiet person".
Reply:I think it must be anger and jealousy. They feel so hurt and angry that they want others to feel that way too. Once they decide to die themselves, it's not a big step to take out some other people as well, so why not make it as many innocent people as you can and go down in history, or at least be the big news story for a while?

How do I handle my teacher he is always mean to me and the classmates.?
My teacher is always mean to me and my classmates what sould I do to make he stop. Which can be impossibe. Please give me some idvice I'm beging you!!
How do I handle my teacher he is always mean to me and the classmates.?
First of all, you have to define the word mean, and he probably cares enough to give you more information so you can get further in life ans not drop out of school. He wants you to pay attention and learn. Your going to need it later on.................
Reply:people often have a reason why they are mean. just try being nice to him. strike up friendly conversations. just know that if he's mean to anyone, it's not you. it's something else. it might just be a phase....
Reply:Make a written complaint against him outlining your grievences - but make sure they are real and not just opinions or feelings
Reply:Photoshop his picture into a porn scene and sent it to the school board. Make sure its nasty. Or put drugs in his desk and drop a dime. You'll get immediate action. My nasty Spanish teacher got hit by a car and was out all year.
Reply:If all other attempts have failed such as speaking with the principal or having your parents meet with him.The next time he is being mean for no reason raise your hand,stand up and simply just ask him in a polite way why he acts the way he does.Have your classmates back you up.It could possibly get you after school detention but others in the class would appreciate it.
Reply:It's hard to answer without a more specific definition of "mean."
Your teacher probably does not want to be mean. It sounds like a defensive mechanism because he does not know how to control the class.
Perhaps you can have a discussion with him, and you can suggest what things you would like to see done differently. Does he give too much homework? Does he yell? Hit? Play favorites?
Perhaps you can get transferred out of his class.
Reply:Some teachers came out of the pits of hell...I'm not kidding it's like they already have this little profile all made up for you that your the same as all the other kids and they shouldn't take chances that you might be one of the good ones, I think some teachers just need to be let go after a certain period. Sadly there is nothing that can be done that I haven't already tried, even being nice.
Reply:I guess the first question I have for you is what do you mean by "mean"?
Reply:Probably nothing, sadly.
Realize you're on the higher moral ground and revel in your superiority.
Reply:does your teacher favor and be unjust?m or is he just strict? if he is strict he is doing that to control the class, if he is unjust and favors, you are definitely to stand up for your and your classmates self
Reply:Tell your parents or speak to the headmaster. He shouldnt be nasty to you. I experienced the same thing when i was in high school and it really does make your life a nightmare! Please talk to someone about it! Take care honey xxx

What have people been saying about allen peros? In particular, high school and college classmates.?
Was wondering if officers and airmen from the Air Force as well as old classmates have tried to contact me and if so what has been said about me?
What have people been saying about allen peros? In particular, high school and college classmates.?
I've heard people say he's sorta paranoid. I wouldn't know, because I don't know him. I actually walked in on a conversation and people just hushed up and didn't say anything further. Just what I heard, fella.

I can't speak English well. I'd like to make friends with foreign classmates but I dont know how to. I'm shy.
I had come to US for about 6 months. But till now I cant improve my speaking in English. I use to silent during the time at school. No speaking, no talking. I also was like that in my old country. I don't know what to talk about with my classmates, my friends at school. And that's the reason I dont have much foreign friends to improve in Speaking English. What can I do to make friends and improve my English? Actually I just have friends who are from Vietnam, my old country too. but they dont like to speak English and I wanted to separate the Vietnamese group. but before that I need to have foreign friends. They are so hard to close, they were refuse to keep talking with me when I didnt understand. hic plz help me?
I can't speak English well. I'd like to make friends with foreign classmates but I dont know how to. I'm shy.
First off don't lose your Vietnamese friends. See if your school has an international club of some kind or talk to a guidance consular about clubs to join. An international club would be great since you make lots of friends who can help you better your English and I'm sure there will be some person like me who loves to help out new people and foreigners. From what I can tell though, you have great English skills. Good luck!
Reply:Well its not a matter of making friends, you could pick up a book and start reading it out loud, take speech class. Trust me I am shy and I do know how to speak english, but I still don't do very well with my social skills. I can hold more of an intellect conversation verses a social one, maybe your hanging around the wrong people when you try to get friends. Don't be afraid to say hi. Thats all it takes. One word
Reply:Practice what your going to say in front of your mirror that should help some what
Reply:If you get into volunteering, you'll meet lots of really nice American and foreign people that will be friendly and pleasant if you are too. As for speaking English, just say what you want to say, folks will try to understand you. If you want someone to slow down when they're speaking, just say so! Volunteering isn't the only thing you can do, but it's a good way to meet a variety of young people that are typically both nice and outgoing.
Reply:Don't be afraid to ask them to repeat what they said or to slow down so you can understand them. Americans can talk very fast. "Please slow down" is a polite way to ask or try "I'm studying here. How long have you lived here? Please not so fast, I'm just learning English."
Try to make friends in a place where people are not in a hurry, like a Laundromat or cafe, where people have a long time to wait. It is better to ask "Can you speak Chinese?" than to ask "Will you speak English with me?" You can also start a conversation with: "Are you also shy?" or Ask for a date for a cup of coffee or tea... "Would you like to talk over a cup of tea?" "Do you have time for a donut?" Once you can sit and relax it will also be easier to speak in English. Go to a bar (if you're 18) and take a note pad with you and write down what other people say to open a conversation. They will be curious about your writing because nobody writes in a bar. You tell them you want to learn opening lines to meet people. "How do you meet a stranger?" You will ask...and start writing down their suggestions. Not only gives you practice and good tips but people will come closer to see just what you are writing and how to better communicate with you. Good Luck!
Reply:First of all, learn all of the bad, four letter words. Second, use these words all the time, for anything, even in front of your teachers, they will give you a break cause you are learning the language. Third, learn to shot-gun a beer. Finaly, tell everyone your name is "Chops".
Now you're a party animal, everyone likes you. No one will take you seriously at first and girls will hang out with you cause they won't see you as a threat. Soon you'll be hanging out with these girls at parties and meet their boyfriends. Eventually some of the girls will get waisted and you can have your self some drunken se x!! Once you do this, you're in!
Reply:I have a foreign exchange student friend from Korea. Everyone loves her and is understanding if she misspells something or can't pronounce it. If anyone has the gall to mock you or exclude you because of where you're from and how you speak, just ignore them. Such jerks aren't worth your time.
Reply:Join a speaker club, there are many toatmasters clubs around, this club will allow you to interact with people and also give you public speaking ablility, they would love to help you. It does not cost much either, search for 'toastmasters' or speaking clubs in your area. You'll love it.
