The Post Your Problems Thread

[Fox♠]

My teeth hurt whenever chew. :(. I can't stand the pain, it is unbearable. I've been chewing with my front teeth, because I feel no pain there, but it is a little awkward. And no, it shouldn't be from Halloween candy, because I've only eaten a few pieces. Anything I should do?

I have a similar problem sometimes, try using a toothpaste that helps build up enamel, I'd also go see your dentist, as they'll probably be able to help a lot more. ;]

lololol i bet your teeth are frikkin' raunchy.

Alright, So I dated brooke for 2 and 1/2 years and she cheated on me one time and when we broke up, she was like good, **** you, I don't want you, ect ect, then this morning she texts me sayin' she still loves me and **** and is upset about us not bein' together. So we talk about it and she "breaks" up with him for me. So we talk some more and I told her a lot of things need to change and she says Ok, I'll change I promise, So I believe her, Break up with Stacy and ask her out then she says "uh... Thomas is comin' over, I guess we didn't break up" now, I'm pissed as hell and I flip out on her then she calls me and says that we need to take a break so I was like alright, If you date, then I have a right to date as well, So I got back with Stacy. Then about an hour later she calls me back cryin' and says that She and thomas broke up and everything he does reminds her of me and she wants me back, so we talk some more and I ***** her out al ittle bit. So then, I finally believed her and left stacy AGAIN and she goes You need to prove to me you have changed and you are takin' your bipolar meds, So I say, Alright, Give me one week, Both of us stay single and we'll go from there, cool? she says alright. then about 2 hours later she texts me and says, Well, Thomas is comin' back over and I'm gettin' back with him. I'm only 18 years old, I'm still young so let me live my life and I said well, alright, You're kinda a ***** from doin' this so peace and lose me number. afterwards she TRIES AGAIN and says she still loves me and she wants to try again in the future and I turned her down and told her to never contact me again and that I want nothin' to do with her. Now that I've done that.. I feel terribly depressed and I'm pretty upset..

I hope I did the right thing...

As was said previously, your actions were valid.

From your story, you do not seem particularly healthy for one another. If, in the future, she contacts you and both of you can handle keeping to a friendship, then you can try talking to each other again. But for now . . . In her words, you two are 18 and young. At a time of particularly high emotions, not much benefit exists in remaining in a destructive relationship. It would not be fair to you, Brooke, Stacy, or Thomas.

The pain is unlikely to disappear soon for either of you, but reopening a wound is usually worse than waiting for it to heal.

I have a slight major procrastination problem. I don't really know what to do to go about fixing it. I mean, I should do my homework first, but instead I do other things (e.g. Log onto PC, Hang out w/friends, Watch the telly). I mean, it definitely isn't helping my grades. I an A and B student, but I know that I could maintain an A average if I could set my priorities straight. I usually end off with a good note, but still. It feels wrong not doing it. Like, I dunno how to explain the feeling, all I know is that it is a bad one.

Any tips on how to beat procrastination would be greatly appreciated.

I had that habit in school, I always resorted to rewarding myself for getting something done and tackling tasks early/in small intervals. You've got to force yourself to get started, and force yourself to overlook distractions.

Hmm, i dunno how to solve this prob,but it'll probably take long,dos anyone of you guys how a 13 yr old kid earn money online??i broke my friend's Psp and need to buy a new one, iT costs much and i dont have enough money on my paypal accoung xD,although my parents will give me $50, i still need more, does any of you guys knows how to earn money online?

Sell your organs.

The only way, really, is to sell stuff on eBay. Any money-making schemes you see advertised online are probably scams, and you should avoid them.

Sometimes I can trick myself by listing out what I need to do, deciding to do one thing (preferably due the next day), then procrastinating on it by doing everything else on the list. And if the chosen task is due the next day, I will probably accomplish it after the other assignments are done.

I have this tiny problem... I woulnt really call it a prob..
In the beginning of my highschool where i did not see my friends for a long 3 months, I didn't know they existed for some time(although they sat 2 seats or right next to me) Now a few of them dont even look at me anymore even though i say somthing to them. At that time, i had a giant mental breakdown but i doubt they will buy this excuse....
Should i just pretend they just dont exist or should i still try?? Im pretty sure they hate my guts by now..

If they're avoiding you and not talking because you didn't see them for a few months, then you obviously need to give up and find better friends. Theyr'e not worthy of your friendship if they're going to be complete jerks to you, ya'know?

 

[FlyingSquirrel]

Well they dont ignore me completely but they aren't really as nice to me anymore.
They just dont care....

Tell them you're sorry you didn't talk to them. Even if it's not your fault or you don't feel like you should apologize. Saying sorry is your peace offering. Ask them if you're all cool now and can move past those months when you didn't talk. If they keep ignoring you it means they aren't ready to forgive you. Trying to punish them by pretending they don't exist isn't going to make them forgive you any sooner. It sounds like you still want to try to be friends so I'd try at least once more.

I have a problem. Surprising, eh?

Well, I made a really good thread, but within one day it dropped to Page 4.

WUT DO I DO, GUISE?

Seriously now, my problem is that there's a member of the female persuasion who is both attracted to me and has recently moved relatively close by. Due to our [psychological] closeness, I know that she's had a fairly... traumatic past. And by "traumatic" I mean rape. Does this necessarily mean that any impending relationship is doomed to failure?

I shouldn't have to say this, but this is PC, which means that there is a high concentration of IRL n00bs roaming these pages. Don't answer the question if you don't know what you're talking about.

Not at all. Infact, If you ever remember me talkin' about Brooke in this thread, she had the same thing happen to her and we were fine for a year and a few months before I moved hours away.

So, Go for it dude. Nothin' bad could happen out of it. Just respect her wishes and don't
pressure her into doin' anything.

*I promise I know what I'm talking about, one of my friends is a victim of rape so I have a tiny bit of background knowledge on the subject.

It depends on how she handles the event, and how long ago it took place. I'm assuming she opened up to you about it, which shows that she is at least willing to be communicative with you. If I were you, I'd research some of the psychological after-effects of rape so that you're somewhat prepared when she needs comforting. Just offer your assurance and don't keep reminding yourself that this happened to her and let it become a barrier between the two of you, treat her like you'd treat anyone else you care about. It doesn't necessarily mean the relationship will fail...but if you're constantly worried that baggage will affect anything, it most likely will. Best of luck~

Well Nicole I tried another way and considering an arbitrary point (x,y). Which mean applying T would transform (x,y) into (y,x) then into (y+1,x+2).

Consider the base for R^2 {(1,0),(0,1)}.
Then, applying T gives us

T((1,0)) = (1,3) and T((0,1)) = (2,2).

Thus, the matrix transformation would be

[ 1 2 ]
[ 3 2 ]

Since T((1,0)) = (1,3) = 1(1,0)+3(0,1) and
T((0,1)) = (2,2) = 2(1,0)+2(0,1). This is in the matrix representation wrt.
(Not sure here)

As for the next question suppose (x,y) is a fixed point. Then T((x,y)) = (x,y).

But by above T((x,y)) = (y+1,x+2).

Hence, by equality of points in R^2:

x=y+1
y=x+2

Adding these will give you

x+y = y+x+3

In other words it's not possible.

good idea,
I agree with information:
Since T((1,0)) = (1,3) = 1(1,0)+3(0,1) and
T((0,1)) = (2,2) = 2(1,0)+2(0,1). This is in the matrix representation wrt.

Okay,this isn't life or death of the heart or anything, but it's still a problem:

So, I have an Xbox360.
My brother owns it, since he payed for it.

We used to keep it on our main television, but,
My brother went out and bought a television, took the Xbox360, and put it in his room.

Now, I myself have plenty of game data and my own games that I own for the Xbox360.

It's a bit selfish, because on the main TV, anyone who feels like playing can play, even my brother himself,

but I don't want to say anything, because it is his Xbox360, and he already bought a shiny new TV for it.

And I'm sure as hell not sneaking up to his room and play it then, because you can never know for sure when he comes back, and someone might catch me.

I want to play it, but it's a minefield and I don't have any minesweepers.

Should I?:

a) Approach my brother about this, say my feelings about the subject.
:If you choose this answer, please explain to me a basis to what I should say to convince him:

b) Purchase a new Xbox360 that stay on the main television, so my brother won't have to be bothered by the matter, and I can just pull my data from the old one onto the new one.
:Christmas is coming up, so this is a very good possibility, but there is no promises that my parents will buy a new one if I ask for it:

c) Other solution
:This one is a free form option. What is your way to approach this subject? Please explain and elaborate what you mean when you answer.

I've had a friend that had this problem before.

As I said to them, you should really go up to them and tell them why you haven't been in contact with them for the time you haven't been in contact. If they are good friends they will understand why and forgive easily.

But if they do not forgive, well, I'd just leave them, after all, they wern't exactly nice enough to come up to you and ask where you where for that period of time and just get on with like they normally would. Then I'd wander off and make new friends, people change and move on.

Alright thanks for the help^^
I think im pretty fond of my faults as well...
Thanks for everyone who helped me

Option A.

Approach him, talk about it. He is only your brother, no need to be scared. Even if the talk goes bad, at least you tried, and option B is always open. But if you just talk about it, he may just grant you permission to play.
