I have the feeling that whatever you do, they’ll just laugh you off.
Have considered installing a fence?
2011-11-25 14:33:09 on hard to cope with this
Jeez, your “friends” sound kinda… catty.
Good riddance, I think.
You need to focus on academics first, because that is somewhere with a direct cause and effect. (You work hard, you get good grades. You don’t work hard, you get bad grades). If your friends (ex-friends) attack you, don’t respond. Say nothing in abck to them and try to look like the good guy; people will take your side if you don’t reciprocate.
Your real mistakes were in:
a) Confiding in a friend about a mutual friend; that never turns out well.
b) Swearing and attacking them in response to them attacking you. If you want to appear nice and feel better about yourself, you need to learn to practice humility. If you don’t respond, they have a lot less to fuel them. If they keep attacking you, then they won’t appear like nice people and will not be especially well liked.
c) Letting your grades slip. Whatever your social problems are, they will mean *nothing* in a few years, when you go to college. Remember that all these problems are temporary.
I wouldn’t suggest apologizing, but be nice to them. Don’t let these things they’re doing bother you (”that’s cool” is a great response for these kinds of situations. It is the ultimate noncommittal response).
Don’t beat up on yourself, either; your situation is fixable. Just focus on getting good grades and being a nice person.
If you do these things and they continue attacking you, it has turned into bullying and you should tell an adult.

Make sure your clothes are in closets/dressers/drawers where he can’t get at them.
Then discipline him if you catch him peeing somewhere else.

Unless you threatened her physically, there was no reason for her to act how she has acted.
Why doesn’t your father drive? Has he had his license revoked for some reason, or does he just not own a car?
It sounds as if your living situation is very unstable. If you feel unsafe at your dad’s house as well, contact social services.

Smile; don’t always show your pain and frustration. If you are polite in these type situations, it can get you far. Apologize when necessary, but don’t be a pushover.
Move forward and don’t dwell on things you can’t possibly change. Nothing improves if you let it frustrate or embarrass you even more.
Don’t be afraid to seek help from others, but always have an exit strategy if possible.
What kind of situation are you referring to?

Nebula, though the sequencing of DNA might be slightly different between different races of humans, all humans share 100% of the same DNA.
http://www.koshland-science-museum.or…
The way you present your allegations is biased, unkind, untrue, and very offensive.
The only reasons some races might appear to be better at different things would be cultural, and little else. And in reality, this has a lot less to do with race than education and socioeconomics. If one were told that he was, in general, less likely to be intelligent than someone from another group of people, he is less likely to seek out education. Generations of certain races, ethnicities, and cultural groups being regarded as inferior/superior has certainly taken its toll, but it doesn’t have anything to do with genetics or someone being superior.
The only reason your supposed data exists is because it exists. It is self-perpetuating and only contributes to whatever problems there may be.

We’re more divided than we’d like to admit, and our politicians feel free to capitalize off of that.
2011-11-22 12:35:05 on Not a racist post..Why are white people in general
This is the kind of post where everyone tiptoes around the politically incorrect.
I completely disagree with the premise for the question, and therefore I cannot answer it. Generalizing all white Americans into acting weak is stupid, just as it would be stupid to assume that all black Americans are “united” in some agenda.

Oops, didn’t see your latest reply before I posted.

[quote Sans]I don’t know much about physics, but multiple universes is a popular theme these days. What if you had a couple that’s separated somehow, for instance with the girl going off to war (for a twist). Then a high-tech weapon is used that causes an unintended shifting of universes, and the soldier finds herself in a parallel universe where circumstances are slightly different. She is thought to be insane. Somehow she finds her way back to her home country, but her boyfriend or husband is with someone else. At the end, she finds her own tombstone in a cemetery. [/quote]
And it turns out that she is from an alternate universe, and this new planet/universe is ours!
