I really dont think there is anything the police could do.You could tell them I think this man is under the influence and he might do something he regrets or have the campus do a back round check on this guy.Or you could keep a close watch and be aware of your surroundings.

Or you could... y'know, lock your doors and get an alarm. o_o'

Don't spend the rest of your life scared of this one guy; he might not even be up to anything! I mean, if he scares you that much, sleep with a knife! Just don't jump to conclusions before you know the whole story. Maybe he's... I dunno, really poor or something? xD;

Tell your dad how you feel; maybe he can talk to him for you.

lol yeah, we always lock our doors. but my parents are all like "We can't afford an alarm! Besides, we have 2 dogs that bark whenever there's someone at the door!" yeah.. 2 tiny yorkies. they may bark, but I don't think they'd really do anything other than that.

and I did sleep with a pair of scissors last night. yes, scissors. XD the little kid kind, too. Hey, they were all I could find because my mom keeps our sharp knives locked up, so nobody will stab anybody else. but I AM sleeping with one from now on. I mean, being across the street from college students is a risk enough already.. they have lots of drug dealers and stuff, and I'm sure they know that me and my sister live here. They must have seen us enough anyway.

so I told my dad that his friend is a creepy weirdo, and my dad just left to go talk to student support services about him, I guess. Hopefully something good will come of it.

I wouldn't suggest sleeping with a knife or anything of the sort. :| You'd probably be more at risk of hurting yourself in your sleep than of someone coming in to attack you.

To be honest, I think you're being too paranoid. :( It's understandable that you find this guy really creepy, but it's more likely that he has a few problems--maybe alcohol abuse, he's down on his luck (which would explain the begging to sleep in your garage o_O), etc. If he does anything weird that makes you or your family feel uncomfortable, call the police. But I don't think it's any good to let it consume you like this.

Exactly;

And just because you live across the street from college students, and you happen to be a girl doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to attack you, if anyone.

XD I'm not. I go to this college too after all. but back to the point, it's just that this guy always stares at me. always. we already know that he has problems. in my dad's class the other day, he was acting like he was stringing beads in the air.. but there was no string and no beads. and he talks to himself. and he thinks everyone is out to get him, and he hears voices. he's known my parents for a few months, and told them that, so that's how I know at least that much. So I do understand that he has a few problems. but the police in this town won't do crap for anything. we have security guards on campus who think they are the police. I guess it makes sense though, the campus is a substation. but yeah, they handle everything here. but they really don't care about the welfare of their own students, it's sad.

but I guess I should stop thinking so much about it. I have a baseball bat in my room anyway, I think I'm less likely to hurt myself on accident with that. and anyway, Christmas break starts on the 4th, so he'll be out of state until January 14. So I'll try not to worry much about it, thanks! ^^

Just because someone hears voices etc. doesn't mean they are anymore likely to harm you ^^

They are probably afraid of it all and a bit paranoid themselves..paranoia comes with those symptoms but really most are harmless.

It is probably best for your parents to stay friends with this person...isolating him could make him feel worse, like the world is against him... =( And that is a really rotten feeling to have, trust me.

You are being paranoid ^^ If you feel like having some sort of protection will help you then do so but don't make really extreme assumptions because it will make you fearful for no reason.

I have an issue which is really knocking me around. Although it doesn't sound like much, it is killing me.
Next year for VCE I have chosen my subjects trying to keep as many options open as I don't know what I am going to do after school is finished.
I am doing some subjects that I do not like or am particularly good at, I am doing them for the sake that if I choose to do something that requires it, I will have it done.
My problem is, do I choose to do subjects I don't really like or am good at and just try and survive it, or do I drop them, do what I love doing and what I am good at but risk missing out on a University course or something later on?
The major one that I am considering dropping is Maths. Without it, I can do another artsy subject which is what I really want to do.
Help?

Depends on what you want to do. If your post-secondary ambitions don't include math in the least (if you plan on going into something arts-based in university, or straight into work where they won't care about higher level math courses) then I'd suggest dropping math and doing what you want, or what will be useful to you. Then later on, if you need a math course, most post-secondary institutions will have beginner courses that don't require previous credits, so those are always an option if you change your mind.

But! Since you say you have no idea, I'm going to suggest you keep math. If you literally have no idea, then you have to keep your options completely open. So take a broad range of subjects and, in that case, math is important. So unless it's really going to hinder you (you're bad at it to the point where it'll really affect your grade average, etc.), then I think you should stick with it even if you don't like it. No sense closing doors if you may need them open.

If you dont believe math is necessary for your future career then dont take it.If your not for sure take it.And alot of University are really into ACT scores more then they are if you take a math class.

Hey...I'm not sure if this is just a bit trivial, but lately, I've just been feeling really down. No real 'main' reason, I just seem to have stopped caring about life in general. I've kinda just given up...I don't really know what else to say...

My soon-to-be fiance and I began house hunting a few weeks back and found and fell in love with a house. Due to my finding a new job (that pays double my old one) I can easily afford it. I went in to get the pre-approval loan and I'll find out Tuesday if I get it. I'm really worried I might not because of how young I am. But the house is absolutely gorgeous (and for the price it's the best you can find! even nicer than houses double its price) and literally needs no fixing up or repainting. Just move our stuff in.

So I'm really nervous about getting/not getting the loan. Some prayers would be nice.

jasonresno: The bank or whoever your getting the loan from usually looks up your options, if they see they you have no chance of repaying it they most likely wont give you a loan. But due to the state your in, new job with high pay, your living in a country where prices will probably drop dramatically and loaners are getting more strict, you have a good chance of getting the loan.

But it does soughta depends, they might not have enough money you see ;).

Thanks for the reply :). On paper there isn't really a reason to not give me the loan other than because I'm young. But I'll let everyone know on Tuesday!

Okay. I have this really bad fear of aliens. I don't know why. If I even catch a glance at a picture of an alien, I freak out. I start thinking they're out to get me. Ugh...I'm scared right now! *trembling in fear*

I just really need someone to talk to. Anyone, I don't care who. I would go see a therapist, but it's expensive. Anyone out there got a few minutes to help a guy out?

When did this fear start? Did you maybe watch a movie about aliens or something?

That's just ridiculuos, aliens don't exist and I advise you from watching horror movies if you can't handle the stress that comes from them,


When watching a horror movie you must keep in mind.
1. It's not real.
2. This will never happen to you.
3. And this was all invented by some writer.
4. They can't come after you.
5. And the worst thing that can happen is a nightmare.


(I'm assuming that your fear comes from movies, if there were no alien movies or comics, the word alien would only apply to immigrants from other country's.)

I really need some advice...

My friend's uncle's brain is slowly shutting down, and he'll soon die, and, obviously my friend is panicking, she really loves him, and knows there is no way for him to be cured from this now. I need some advice on how to calm her down, this morning she broke down into tears and had to leave the classroom, I just want to help her, but I've never really been through anything like this (My great nan died when I was about three, and then, I didn't know what was going on, I can't remember how anyone dealt with it) so I can't help her properly, I just need someone to tell me how to help her, even if it's just something to say. I'm praying that he'll go painlessly, and that it'll be as late as possible, I've never met him, but I'm sure he's a lovely person, and I hope he goes to the best place you can in his afterlife, so he'll be happy.

Please, I just want some advice, I don't know what to do, and I can't just watch her break down into tears everyday, please, anything... It's so painful just to sit and watch...

Ok.

Time to write a long story :/

Umm i'm in australia so if you know some australian laws and stuff that'd help me out not trying to be ungrateful ;-;

Ok my girlfriend's mum hates me now and she is stopping my gf from having a social life... She stopped her from going to school because I could talk to her through her friends and stuff... Her mums making her act like shes sick so that she stays at home under her "eagle eyes."

Now, she was given an option, " Leave your bf and we'll move you to a different school and things will be 'ok' ", or, "We'll move to another state or country," but she doesnt want either of them, so shes going to run away..

Her plan was to run away from home, and take her stuff, and take a bit of money from her dads wallet so that she could get accomodation for a while, and later on get a job for herself, but I told her not to take the money and i've promised her that she'll stay with me at my place, or we'll both run away together and yeah...

Now, the thing is that we dont want her mum from interfeiring once shes at my place. So is there anyway for her (15 years old) to get foster parents (my parents) (foster or under my parents' care) but they havent registered as foster parents yet.. Her reason isnt abuse/violence, but its her parents trying to get rid of her social life and getting rid of me (which she would never ever ever do. trust me, I didnt give her the idea of running away...) and also, they're getting her depressed and etc etc. Leaving her current school, friends, everyone.

She's not allowed to do anything at the moment :/

Also, please dont tell me and her to forget the realtionship and just go different ways because this is real love and we're doing this for each other. I'm sticking with her forever regardless of the outcomes and i'd rather die then leave her...
No this isnt teenage puppy love.


again, not trying to be ungrateful but I'm not looking for moral or w/e advice. I'm looking for a way to keep her living with me at my house...

She can't run away from her parents. Her parents are being out of order and I don't know the law but she defiantly won't be able to move in with you, due to her age. But if your love is as strong as you say it is you can work through it.

What made your GFs mum hate you? That seems to be the cause and maybe if you went to talk to her you could sort it out. I think her parents are taking it to the extreme with the moving country over a school relationship. I know it could develop to go much further than that but right now it just a school relationship and that is what she should see it as.

Her mum could be worried that you will her hurt or that she will lose her daughter, but I don't think you would do that from the post and at some point she is going to have to let her daughter grow up and move out and if she is in a loving relationship when that happens I believe that is much more beneficial and safer.

So try and talk to the mother but DEFIANTLY don't go ahead with the running away plan as that will cause a whole load more problems as you could face kidnapping charges.
