• (1 vote) my landlord want to expel me,because the landlord want to renovate my apartment please tell me how can i do?
  

  It depends on what country, state, province you live in… there are laws against landlords just evicting you for the purpose of renovating.
  
  You should find out from your friends and family if there is any possibility of you and your daughter renting or boarding with them. Also, find out from your community organizations what type of help may be available to you.
  
  Good luck to you and your daughter.

• (1 vote) i have a friend who’s being abused.
  

  You really should report this. In the end, your friend will thank you for it. In my experience, abuse tends to escalate as it goes on. I think foster care is better than living with an abusive parent. I’ve had abusive parents and I’ve been in foster care. All I know is that when I was younger, all I wanted was someone to say something to someone for me. I didn’t tell anyone that I wanted help but I really wished it.
  
  I agree with el Trent about talking to child services first.
  
  His dad can go to jail, depending on how bad the abuse is. He can also be forced to take a type of rehabilitation on parenting skills and such. The son would be put into foster care if there were no relatives.
  
  You really should call a help line at least… they won’t know who you are. If you do decide to report it (meaning you tell them who this man is), they will not forget it if you change your mind - they are bound by law to go through the necessary procedures.
  
  Please tell someone about this… every abused child wants help whether they say so or not.

• (1 vote) Do people who smoke things other than cigarettes bug you?
  

  I completely understand you rtt06… I can’t stand the smell of it or the way it makes people act - and, yes, usually the friends of pot-heads are idiots or loosers because they only come over to smoke pot, sit there, then sleep there.
  
  Your bf has a problem. You can NOT fix it… only he can. There are only so many times a person can try to quit for someone else - in the end, they have to do it because they want to do it for themselves. And, I do know what I’m talking about. I am a former drug addict (pot was one of the many drugs I used - and the easiest to get). I’ve been clean for about 10 years.
  
  Anyways… my advice to you… if your bf’s lifestyle bothers you that much, you need to break up with him. Yes, it hurts your relationship because it is very hard for any relationship to last when both people have different beliefs, cultures, lifestyles, etc.
  
  If your bf does not want to quit, you need to say goodbye. The reason? You obviously have a problem with him smoking pot - and, if he doesn’t change, this will ALWAYS be a problem in your relatoinship with him AND will only get worse with time.
  
  Another reason… the people that he (and ultimately you) surrounds himself with probably aren’t a very good crowd to be around (believe me, I’ve been there, through there and under there).
  
  Yet another reason… money. The longer you smoke pot, the more you have to smoke to reach that first great “high” (which, many times will lead to other drugs to get a better “high”)… which means you have to spend more money. You may think that it’s his money so whatever… I’m telling you, he will start asking you for money (whether it be for pot or some other habit that he may pick up).
  
  The biggest reason of all… YOU are against that lifestyle. Do not force yourself to be a part of something you don’t believe in. NOTHING is worth that. YOU NEED TO DO WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU (not your bf). I know you want to help him but please know that he is the only person on this earth that can help himself. In fact, I’ve dealt with this many times… my mom is an alcoholic… no matter how many times, and ways, I’ve tried over the years (my brother and sister have as well), she is just getting worse because she has to be the one that finally wants to stop.
  
  I also think that the more you fight with your bf about it, the more resistant he is going to be. So… it’s time to sit down with him and ask him if he’s ready to quit. If he is, then your relationship has hope. If he isn’t ready to quit, then you need to tell him it’s over (unless you want to live your life like this)… all in all, if he isn’t ready to quit, your relationship is just going to become hazier and hazier with every joint he smokes. You may love him… but is it worth it?
  
  I know it is all much harder said than done… but that’s how life is. Many times, you just have to do what you NEED to do… without stopping. You won’t regret it.
  
  Good luck and please take care of yourself… that’s all anyone really can do.
