After punching a locker sixteen times, the knuckles of my right hand are bruised and swelling. However, I now have several blood-red lines on the back of my hand that DEFINITELY weren't there before. They don't hurt, so I don't think I split a vein, but it's really disturbing. |

If I may be so bold, may I make a suggestion? Don't be set on game design. It's what every nerdy teenager wants to do (and not to mention it's so very clichéd), and so few make it that it's hardly worth it. Find out what subjects you enjoy (base it on your GCSE and Year 12 experience, as it's vastly different to Key Stage 3) and what subjects you're good at and go along those lines. Personally, I'm going to university to study Mathematics because a) I enjoy it and b) I'm jolly good at it. There are a number of different subjects that you've probably never even thought were taught that you may wish to move in to, and it may be that you have a knack for one or more in particular. :) Keep your options open, and make the difficult choices in two years' time when you're choosing your A level subjects. Good luck. |
I'm taking IGCSE right now (I think it's the same as GCSE, except the I means International because I'm in NZ), and it's true that it doesn't make much difference. I would have liked to take History, but there wasn't enough interest to make a full class, so it was dropped. Now I'm just taking English and Maths, so I won't have the three subjects necessary for University Entrance. I'll just have to take the easy option and get in via NCEA like everyone else. D:
Anyway, my problem? I'm not liking school at the moment. I started the term raring to go, but between the aforementioned History class cancellation, Swimming Sports last week and Athletics Day the week before, I'm already feeling like it'll be no fun. Even Drama (my once-favourite subject) is now horrible. I hate working in groups, but I can bear it unless its a group formed from my Drama class, who are the biggest bunch of idiots in my year. Perhaps five of us (being generous here) are serious about Drama, and the only one I really can get along with isn't in my group. So yeah, Drama sucks. I just end up sitting in the back and protesting at being forced to tell lame, sick jokes or act as a perverted 80-year-old. And my new Maths teacher sucks. |
I still don't know what I want to do when I'm older. This fortnight I'm on Work Experience and about twenty peoiple have asked me what I wanna do. I want to do something in Design definitely, but I'm not sure what.
Anybody have any suggestions of different kinds of jobs in Art or Design? I want something that's well paid but I enjoy it too you know? I mean I've thought of Interior Design and stuff but it would be hard to get work starting out don't you think? Help would be much appreciated :) |
What about an art teacher? I think that's a decent paying job, you can do work with arts and crafts now and then.
And don't worry I also don't know what I want to do, but recently I've been thinking about doing something justice related and Klippy has convinced me more to do a course around justice.(he's doing a criminal justice course and says it's great) |

Um.. you can look at a website like 4stroke.. http://www.4stroke.tv/ Or Big Studios. http://www.bigstudios.com/ It's kinda cool. Check it out. They have really cool demo reels. I think you'll really like motion graphics. |

@ Zet Yes I had thought about that but I don't know if I'd have the patience or temperment for teaching. It was something I haden't ruled out though.
@ Kura the big studios videos wouldnt play but I like the look of the other website thank you :) @ The Cynic. Thanks for the list :P I could probsably get more info on all those on the UKAS website and where they hold courses and things. Also I am doing Art and Design for my Leaving Certificate but Communication Graphics is limited to people who did Technical Graphics for their Junior Cert. for some reason :( |

My advice would be to pick something really out-there for Work Experience (something that you don't know loads about). Don't pick something boring like some people I know who picked the local shop. I presume this is for LCVP, and if it is, then at least you'll definitely be able to write loads on that report thingamajig back. So even if you don't end up doing that career, just don't waste this chance! |
Nail polish crisis!
Ohmigod!!!! I am so stupid! Girls being girls, I accidentally spilled dark purple nail polish on my light tan carpet in my bedroom. I have absolutely no idea on how to get it out! I tried nail polish remover, but that hardly did anything.=(
Any suggestions? Please?! It's still a little wet, just in case you need to know... |
Soak it in a little mini basin of rubbing alcohol.. leave it for a few hours in it. Then put it in the regular wash and it should probably fix up just fine.
Edit: If it's carpet flooring, I dunno.. maybe try soaking rubbing alcohol on it and then steam the carpet? |
I dunno. I guess you could try and stain the rest of the carpet? Is it a nice color?
But seriously, Google says nail polish remover should work. Try it again. |
ticked off
I am so ticked off by people I know.
So I am going to babysit my nephew tomorrow, but I have a hospital appiontent tomorrow at 1.30pm. My sister's husband told me this " I will get him back at Two".

And I have to rush down to pick him up at eight in the morning..and I am carring an baby inside me too.. anyway does anyone tick you off like this ? |

Okay, the truth is, unless you're lucky (or you didn't actually have sex, by which I mean exchanging body fluids), the bad has already happened and you have to deal with the consequences now. Most girls don't even suspect they're pregnant until after they miss a period. Thinking you're pregnant because you gained, or think you gained some weight isn't the best diagnosis. You won't gain weight after only a few days, if it has only been a few days. You weren't clear on that. If it has only been a matter of days then that's much too soon to know for certain. But that's beside the point. Your parents getting mad is not something you should worry about right now. You should probably take a pregnancy test and do some soul searching so you can decide what you'll do if you do end up being pregnant. If you are then whatever you decide to do you'll almost certainly need to tell your parents. If you don't want to keep it you'll potentially need their consent and if you do want to keep it you'll definitely need their support. |
Turned out I was gaining stress weight, I went to the doctor and told my parents. They were pissed, but it worked out.
Anyway, I have another problem. I'm just a list of large issues. Well, ya see there's this guy I really like, we have been friends for 1 year, and we are really good friends. We hang out a lot and I think he might like me. I don't know if I should ask him out or wait and see if he asks me?? |
I think you should wait until he asks you out.
|
In my opinion, don't start dating until you're fifteen. Thirteen just seems abit young to be sorry.
|
I'm really scared of my house being:
--raided by the police --broken into If I could move out I would, but I don't have a job, nor do I have the will to do so. My parents are trying their best to try to get him to move out. Uggh... Normal people would be worrying about graduation, work, and friends. I'm on edge everyday, and I have to keep my door lock, so my cats end up pooping in my room *sighs* That's my problem xD It's good to get it off my chest. |
Why not send him to rehab?

I think that my brother's friend is trying to kidnap me. He keeps giving me these weird looks. And also, last week I was walking home from school and it was raining, and he pulled up beside me in his car and he was like, "Oh hey. Want me to give you a lift?" He was acting as though he just happened to be in the area when he saw me, but I think that he planned to meet me there. I think he had been waiting outside my school all day to get his greasy paws on me. I did not get in the car, of course.
I told my brother that his friend wants to kidnap me, but he thought I was being silly. What should I do? |
I'm Being Pressurised Recently By Both Family And Friends. I Feel As If I Can't Open Up To Them, I Feel The only Way i Can Open Up As If it's in writing. And Recently My Friends Haven't Been Listening To Me. And I Can't Find A Way Of Talking To My Best Friend Alone Without Her Boyfriend Tagging Along, Making A Joke At Everything I Say. Even The Way I Speak. I Wouldn't Like To Talk To My Parents Because I Know They Wont Do anything to help me. I Need Someone Who Can Give Me A Push In The Right Direction. Someone Who Can Take Me Seriously And Accept Me For Who I Am. I Need A Friend Next To Me, But as I Say, I'm Not confident enough To Tell Anyone.
Advice Please? (And Since The Suicide Of My Uncle Andy, Life Hasn't Been How It Was Before. I Really Would Like Some Help Of Some Kind, To Help Me Feel Better About Myself And Be Happy About Life) |
