Why does my teacher hate me?

She always goes around me when handing tests, I am the last one to get one even though I am first.





She doesn't look at me while she is speaking to the class, instead she avoids any eye contact until I look away from her. I know this because I see it in my peripheral vision.





She only asks me hard questions in front of the class, while I am making a speech she interrupts me with those.





She makes grimaces at me and recently she invaded my personal space by sitting in the desk next to me, so she would grade during speeches.





I admit I am a shy person and I never give my input when she's in front of class, but I do talk to her when she's talking to me. I also like to go last in everything and she literally has to call me to get up.





Should I act really friendly towards here and kill her with kindness? I said hello to her when she walked into the class, that took her aback.



It doesn't matter whether she hates you or likes you. She's there to teach you. If she asks you hard questions, consider that maybe she's trying to challenge you. Welcome the challenge because school is easy when compared to real life.




she is a Big Bitc* . BB


just wait and be yourself...... it will eventually end one day.

Sleepwalking and Talking?

Alot of times i sleep walk and talk.


I normally get down from my bunkbed and go into my parents room.


One time i said "just quiten"


I remember being in there and saying something and it making sense to me.


but the next morning my parents will ask me "do you remember what you said to us last night?" and i dont know.





Also my brother and i talk at the same time in our rooms across the hall.








what is the reason for this?



i don't really know. some people just do this. lots of people do it less and less as they get older though.

How can I make myself leave my dorm room (in college) when I live by myself?

I have a hard time going out when I can just crash and lay around in my dorm room where I live by myself. When I live with other people I never do that as I don't like being stuck in the same room with someone all day so it forces me out to go do things. But now that I have my own room I have a hard time going out, not really being forced to go out so how can I break this bad habit of crashing all day doing nothing?



Get rid of things like games consoles or tv in your room so you wont have as much to do inside. Then you will want to go out more :)




Your college should have some services available to you nearby such as a sports centre and restaurants and clubs. Go out to bars and other social gatherings, involve yourself with strangers. If this seems too much at once, just go down the corridor and knock on a neighbor's door. Explain that you just wanted to know who lived next door to you and ask their name and so on. Getting to know people and making friends is really the first step. From what you have said, you make it sound like you are pretty lonely. Don't forget you are there to study but a healthy social life contributes to the whole student life and experience.




Paint the walls and leave while it's drying so you don't get sick.

How much math do you think Warren Buffett uses in a day?

Since he has a graduate Econ degree, and it require a lot of math, how much of the econometrics/math do you think he uses on a daily basis?



$62 billion worth

What are the impacts of innovation and technology on the cost of production?

They make the amount of resources needed per unit lower. Example, if you can employ a piece of software to do something ten people used to do, your costs go down.

What is the relationship between average and marginal productivity?

How do changes in average and marginal productivity affect the cost of production?



Marginal productivity affects the cost of the next unit produced. If it is higher or lower than the previous average, the average productivity mathematically changes slightly as well.

Does my friend need a speech therapist?

She has a good vocabulary and she is quite smart and grasps things fast but she can't speak even one sentence without using a million ahhs and umms and fillers like "you know" or "that/ this thing" and she mixes words too.





For instance if she wanted to say " I went shopping with x and y today" she would say something like "today x and me and even y ahh umm when whats that ... shopping"





but sometimes she speaks fluently without any errors. how can I help her out?



This sounds more like a neurological problem than a speech problem per se.





~Dr. B.~




If it wasn't un-PC I'd say it sounds like she needs a smack on the head - all that dithering would drive you mad!





Maybe she has no confidence is being listened to? Have you tried telling her to just think what she wants to say and say it out straight?




No, a speech therapist is more used for enunciation of words, not for bad grammar.




She's probably nervous...are you close friends? Is she shy?

Why do cults like to marry 15 years old girls?

Like in some cults of Christianity, they are taught to marry real early, legally, they like to have them married at exactly at 18 or their parents sign some paper saying they can marry at like 16 or something like that.





So why do people like to marry the 15 year olds?



Because they are compliant and usually have not developed any sense of self by that age. They are easier to lie to about "love" because they are still innocent enough to believe that an abuser really loves them.




It could be from a number of things. Religion, culture, pleasure and what you think is right and wrong. Some people believe that you should marry and have as many kids as you can to support reproduction. Some people believe that girls turn into women at the age of 16. Other's believe it's 18. And people like me, believe it's when you hit puberty. Some people marry young girls, and even have MULTIPLE wives, for the simple fact of pleasuring themselves, or because it is a tradition from where they came from.




That's because most cults (especially religious ones) are founded and/or led by a sex pervert, addict, or some other type of sexual wacko. Examples are: Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, and David Koresh.




Because there is something mentally wrong with them.




bunch of freaks

Are any of the G20 Countries operating in a surplus, or all they all in debt?

h l ? ?! :)




China and India seem to be in the positive, but not expanding as they want.





Banks bought bad loans around the world.


AIG, others, made stupid concepts available to all nations, wealthy who wanted better profits, guarantees that were not good.





Governments are trying to reestablish credit markets, injecting money into their banks. Now bankers do not want ccc loans or bbb loans.

My elder sister and my mom often tries to affect me with negative thoughts,attitude and feelings.?

My elder sister and my mom often tries to affect me with negative thoughts,attitude and feelings. I'm not immune to their negative thoughts, attitude and feelings. They affects me negatively. How can I deal with this problem? Help!





I'm slightly unhappy. I have a positive attitude towards life.I received higher education. But my elder sister always tries to bother me with negative thoughts and feelings.She always tries to affect me with negative and stupid thoughts. You know how stupid she is. She is unreasonable. So is my mom. My mom always drums fear, anxiety, pessimism into my head. These thoughts and feelings affects me negatively. But I can't avoid them completely because they are my mom and sister. How miserable I am. Although I'm an optimistic person, but sometime I feel I'm not immune to their words and attitudes. Their words and attitudes affects me negatively. How can I deal with this problem? Help



When they something negative to you... call them out... and tell them they are actually killing there self... with all that negative, fear energy

Hello anyone? please read my dilemma please? pls pls pls pls pls pls!! i really just need an opinion.?

I am a person who can control her feelings/emotions, for example i became attached to someone, its not that hard for me to move on, i can always rationalize and control things, but this time im having a hard time fixing things in my head. i became really attach to a person that im not intending to be attached to.. its a relationship that was for fun at first, but later on i became committed to it, but not because i love the person but because i enjoy it so much and the person really like me and because of outside pressure too.. i convinced myself that i really like the person and this is what i want for life (but deep down its not true) its really really stupid i know! so dont judge anymore pls.. and now im having a hard time rationalizing things because its a big thing! it would've been better if i didn't commit myself to it but i did. what do you think should i do?? i can't seem to forgive myself and move on because of this...



You have already made your decision. My opinion is this, would the friend consider you a friend if you refused to commit? If the friend would think less then I wouldn't consider him/her a friend. A consistent liking requires no commitment, it precipitates its own sustenance. I only respond so vaguely because the reasons provided for this commitment have been supplied so vaguely.




This was a bit confusing but....


How important is this to you? Could you live with out this in your life?


The best thing to do when you feel this way is to cut it out of your life completely and move on. The pain will be there for a while but time heals all wounds. It will eventually stop depressing you.




hmmmm, sounds like a situation i had a few months ago. well i can say from experience that it is really easy to get attached to someone you don't mean to, especially if it was for fun at first (thats what happened to me). my situation rather worked itself out, and there's no reason that yours wouldn't do the same either.





but im a bit confused. are you with this person or not? or are you trying to move on? or?




Learn the lesson of always being true to yourself, sorry, but now you pay the price.




If you like it, don't move on. Stay with them, be happy for what you have.

How do you become successful?

My family as had a few successful members and others well not so much. I just wanted to prove myself just as successful as they are and buy myself something that's great and expensive or at least do something great. Anybody got any ideas?



First, define your idea of successful. :) Success to me is peace of mind and being True to my Self, not trying to impress others. When I am True to Myself, I am more able to be True to those around me.





Be Yourself. It's Priceless.... turn your mind into a Lamborghini. :)




Be the best [insert your name] you can be. Forget about your family members. Success is a combination of very many things. But it all comes down to you being proud of you and being the best you that you can be!




do well in school; get gr8 gcses, a-levels, go uni, do degrees and then get a gd job. well if u do gd in uni and stuff, ur bound 2 find a gd job. And jus have paitence, yh




Watch what unsuccessful people do - then don't do that.




Go to college

What are some effective ways with dealing with immature people?

Ignore them.. Or be immature yourself.. That can be real fun:p




The company I worked for, we had a woman who was so immature it was actually unreal. We got so fed up with it that for her birthday we all pitched in and brought her diapers, a pacifier and a home made card that said to GROW UP! inside.





No it's not nice and really wasn't the right the right way to go about it. But it worked, she actually seek-ed help in her immaturity. She did get better in time, we could actually deal with her more.




A good backhand strike to the crotch, (with the knuckles hitting the balls or vangita) followed by an up elbow strike to the face by opposite arm in fluent motion, then hook to smash, knee strike, hip throw, then whilst the subject is on the floor in pain, claw the entity mouth and pull the silly cretan along the office floor for utter humiliation.




I know this might sound a bit immature as well, but... ignore them.





Or at least not put your energy into them until they make the connection that their immature behaviour leads to your disinterest and that if they want you interested again, they should mature at least a bit.




Ask them:Did you ever think of growing up anytime soon? Or just say GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




at least try to discipline one and if it doesn't work then you should give him/her a warning




two middle fingers, straight up..........no waiting.

NON-FEMINISTS, When modern Feminists engage in profanity, do you suspect...?

There will be impending violence within a matter of hours?



I note that there is a correlation between the rise in acceptance of sexual battery of men (it has been made acceptable) and the rise in feminism (which has worked hard to ridicule men at all levels).





Perhaps so.




Non-feminists produce much more insulting and profain messages than feminists. Why question feminist voilence? Do you consider it worse than non-feminist voilence? Can non-feminists be voilent against women so? Is this an admission of normalness for male voilence and not female. Of all the talk of equality before the law have non-feminist been stricken by the same tunnel vision they accuse some in the feminist movement of.




I absolutely can not stand the way a lot of women talk today. They cuss more than any 50 men I know! It's degrading, shows lack of social skills, lack of intelligence, lack of communication skills and lack of vocabulary...not to mention lacking the ability to get your point across using intelligent vocabulary.





Not only that...they don't care who they cuss in front of! Little old ladies, little old men, their kids, other's kids!





I'm not a prude, and I won't say that I don't cuss, because I do...but only in situations where I know it is accepted and I know that the people I'm talking to will not be offended.





However, the same goes for men. They lack the respect of others when they use their vulgarity and foul language in front of people that would/might be offended by it.




Right, that's why there are so many "feminists" in jail....





Oh wait, there aren't. Gee, that's weird. And come to think of it, I hadn't read anything about feminists using violence at all. Huh.








And the only place it's "acceptable" to sexually batter a man is in a men's prison. Won't find any feminists there, either.




I think it does. In my experience, whenever a feminist starts using profanity with me, it means she's about to try and kick my chauvenistic, sexist ***. Never fails to make me laugh hysterically, which of course only aggrevates the problem...





ROFL big butch feminist biker chick vs 6'3" Coal Miner, makes for a good spectacle let me tell you!




You're less attractive when drenched in hypocrisy..


I've seen more profanity from the non-fems!!!


Be fair, man.





*But a non-feminist who blames feminists for doing what the non-feminists do more often is being a hypocrite*





I don't belong to any group..I like to play fair.




Gaspari, you sound like a timid child whenever you talk about feminists/feminism. People curse, feminist or not.




I liked Gwennie's answer. lol





No, I don't. Profanity doesn't scare me.




U R SENSITIVE LIKE A PENISI HEAD AFTER ORGASM




Dark Knight: ???????????





Anyway, to answer your question: no. :)




Goddamn vagina choir I'm getting mad right now




F*ck no!

Is it possible to have knowledge or skills in your dreams that you normally don

if so do you believe it is possible to keep any of that knowledge ( or skills) when you wake up



Yes, when you%26#039;re awake you only have access you around 12% of your mind, and the rest is subconscious. So you are missing a huge part of your abilities when awake, but in the dream world you have amazing creativity. You can actually sing an amazing song that even rhymes, without even thinking about it. The trick is to remember it when you wake up. You can also learn and practice things in dreams such as public speaking or acting. However you could play the guitar without effort in the dream, but when you awaken you can%26#039;t, so its a bit limited with physical subjects. Dreams are of the mind so anything that is an idea, or comes from thoughts, can be transfered back into the real world if your 12% can handle it.





Some of the most important inventions, songs, stories etc came from dreams, such as Paul McCartney%26#039;s %26quot;Yesterday%26quot;, Mary Shelley%26#039;s %26quot;Frankenstein%26quot;, Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Otto Loewi won the nobel prize for the theory of chemical transmission of the nervous impulses that he received from one dream. Elias Howe invented the sewing machine after a dream, and Jack Nicklaus found a new way to hold his golf club.





The list goes on with people that credit their success to the dream world. David Foster has an amazing ability to access his unconscious mind while awake when sitting at the piano. He says its just stupid, it just comes out and he plays it with no thought. If he did think about it, then his tiny 12% would get in the way and the unconscious mind wouldn%26#039;t flow freely out of him. This is usually how great artists and writters explain their abilities, it just comes out.





There is also a way you can harness this ability by realizing you are dreaming, while you are dreaming. Its called lucid dreaming. You%26#039;ll be in a dream, then you%26#039;ll say, hey this isn%26#039;t real, this is a dream! Then you can go around the dream world and actually access your subconscious mind directly. For example if you are a painter, you can go to a museum of art in your dream world and each piece on the wall will be of your creation. Find one you really like and memorize it before you wake up.





For those that cannot lucid dream, there is always the twilight zone. This is the time between dreaming and waking up where you still see and hear things, but are aware of the real world as you lay in bed. Everyone does this unless they are awakened by an alarm clock. Most great ideas come from 3am, because allot of people wake up at that time of night and have wonderful access to their unconscious mind, if they don%26#039;t move. You want to have an intention, such as I want to see a painting, and just let it show you what it wants to show. Don%26#039;t force it, but allow it.





We all have great untouched genius, its just a matter of accessing it.





Children can access it better than most adults because they haven%26#039;t been told to grow up, which really means, let go of your imagination. This is a huge mistake, as stated by great minds in the past....





%26quot;Imagination is more important than knowledge.%26quot; -Albert Einstein





%26quot;Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.%26quot; -Pablo Picasso





So the greatest minds understand this, and now so do you. Happy Dreaming




Well, first of all - anything is possible in your dreams. You can even fly. But don%26#039;t expect to be able to fly once you wake up; that is anatomically impossible for us human beings.





There have been studies towards learning abilities while sleeping, and dreaming is part of that. Generally your dreams are re-runs of the day that passed, and parts of your imagination to fill them up. You have several dreams each night of which you remember at least 2, maybe 3 if you%26#039;re very lucky. It has been thought that while your dreams re-run everything you%26#039;ve seen and heard that day and place it in your mind, your brain will also continue to learn while you sleep - in your dreams. No, literally, in your dreams.





So, in a way, it is possible to learn knowledge or skills in your dreams that you didn%26#039;t have the day before, but will continue to have the next day because your dreams helped you develop them.








There have been many times when I was writing something and %26quot;slept it over%26quot;, that the solution came to me the next morning thanks to my dreams.




Well you might THINK you have skills in dreams that you don%26#039;t have in real life, but really if you can do something in a dream, you can do it in real life too, maybe you just don%26#039;t remember seing someone do it when you are awake. So to answer your question, no.




I%26#039;ve been able to fly in my dreams since I was a child. Whenever I get into trouble or am scared in a dream, I just start running really fast until my feet leave the ground and I fly away. I%26#039;ve been trying to do this in my waking hours for most of my adult life unsuccessfully, so I know that skill doesn%26#039;t carry over into real life.

Should modern Feminists be allowed to board internationally-bound aircrafts..?

Considering the danger they pose to others?



It's not just the danger they pose to others... think of the phallic shape of the vehicles they are entering!!!





It's all a patriarchal conspiracy, I tell ya!




Wow, you really have this strange, irrational fear of women your presume are feminists.





And how, exactly, are they going to tell a feminist from a non-feminists? And what dangers do they pose exactly? Or are you just trolling until your mom calls you to supper?




Well I would rather sit next to a feminist because chances are good of having an intelligent conversation. This could not be said about you or the rest of the ranters.




I'd take 600 feminists over 1 suicide bomber religious zealot.





I'm crazy like that.




Only to Africa and Asia so they can see the real problems they should be focusing on.




Not when a NEO-NAZI like you and your friends are on board. We tend to be very selective of a company we keep.




What are you talking about? If you ask a dumb question you need to at least explain what its about so we can give you dumb answers.




I thought feminists flew cargo...




No because then the aircraft wouldn't be able to take off due to weight limit.




lol troll.




And that danger would be what, again?

Worst thing you have ever done?

The worst thing I've done is chop of my brothers foot, then eat it.



poop my pants in the 4th grade.
