I have no friends in high school and feel pathetic, what am I supposed to do?

The actual school and grades isn’t a problem at all, I have mostly A‘s and B’s, so that’s not a concern. But…..it’s a long story, I’ll try to shorten it down.

Last summer my mom and I moved from New York, where I lived my whole life, to Texas so she (my mom) could get a job. We live with my aunt and uncle and their kids. So basically, I left everyone I’ve ever known to go live with family members I barely even know.

Now, the new high school I go to is really……”cliquey”. I don’t seem to “fit in” to any of these cliques. Everyone keeps to themselves here, and each person is indulged into their own group or clique. These people usually share interests, dress the same, ect. There are a lot of these at my school, usually the cliques consist of 4 or 5 people but sometimes like 8 or ten. I don’t have what I would honestly call ”friends” (as in; people whom I can relate with and share common interests with and such.) Since being in high school I have found it difficult to make friends. The people I know usually talk about dumb stuff and subjects I’m not that interested in, or they’ll never like, really talk to me but just bicker on and on about random silly stuff so it’s never a full conversation I have with them. Some of them physically hit me, and I understand that they’re joking, considering they end every sentence with “just playin’”, but that’s just not cool with me. Some people, who I don’t even know, verbally abuse me in the halls, for no reason. Like today, some random dude threw something at me and it hit the back of my knee. I just ignored it and kept walking to class. While I was walking into my next class, I heard him say, “I bet he liked that…” What the fuck does that even mean!?

I know stuff like this happens at EVERY high school, but I digress.

I guess I just feel totally and completely isolated from everyone. I haven’t hung out with someone in months, or gone to the mall or the movies, or basically done anything fun. I never even use my phone anymore, since I have no one to talk to.

Is anyone else experiencing what I am? I just don’t know what to do with myself. Even my mom is constantly telling me that I need to make friends and get out of the house, but she’ll never understand what I’m going through.

Sorry for the long read, by the way.

I need tips and advice on moving responsibly?

HI, I’m going to be 21 years old soon, and currently live in a bad situation. I have to move out by this next summer. Where would one move to that will only have 1,000 dollars to move, no credit established and has a very important dog in her life to her. My dog requires good care that I want to provide her with, and I will like to move somewhere that will be best suited for her and for myself. I will have a graphic Design Associates that I will like to also find a job in.

My brother lives in Brooklyn New York, which would probably be awesome if I could crash at his place until I find my own for my profession, but like I said my dog is very important to me, and I would cry knowing she is cooped in a small apartment all day. She is a active spaniel. I would really appreciate the advice, because I’m sooooooo confused and beating myself up with the the time slipping by.

Thanks!

I would like to audition for a disney channel series but need to know how and where?

Where to start?

I’m in NC could you find any auditions in NC?

Later this summer I’m going back to New York any auditions you can find?

I know most likely I’d get cast in a 2013 series, but I need to know how to get an agent, where some auditions are, and anything else that is important for this type of job.

If you happen to know a site that has list of disney channel auditions all over the USA that would be quite helpful as long as it’s legit. Auditions for an Agency as well. Please do not say start off with commercilas because Zendaya from shake it up got on a series first. Thanks
thx but could’ve gone without the pedophile remark…

how to get a record label?

i know its more than tough to get a record label to sign you. I have tried almost everything – I’ve made demo CDs and press kits and sent them all over the map but i havent heard anything back. I live in sort of a dead town with almost no way out. most people around here live here for their whole lives.

I cannot do that. i have big big goals that i need to accomplish. i want to be a singer. i write my own music and i honestly think i have something. the way i see it, the only way out of my town and into greener pastures is to spend a summer interning at a record label in new york. I have applied for multiple internships there and i think i have an OK shot at getting one. IF i do get the job, would that be an appropriate way to get my foot in the door? After i’ve been there a while, is it innapropriate to give my demo cd to the label, or ask to pay for some studio time?

i just really need to find my way in. (and in no way am i “dissing” my town; it’s just not the place i need to be right now)

What is a current business issue in America?

I am applying to a Summer Program in which they are asking me to write an essay addressing the following – “Paste an article about a current business issue. Indicate why you consider it important and what you suggest should be done to change it.”

The question seems so vague to me and I’m having trouble finding an article on a specific business issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ive look on CNN , Businessweek, The New York Times, etc…

My mind automatically goes to unemployement and American jobs being outsourced.

I want to become a graphic designer in the near future. What should I do?

I’m 16-years-old and I’m going to become a junior in Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, New York this year. I want to become a graphic designer and I want to find out how to become one in the near future… so it would be my job for life.

I need to know where should I register my name and who should I talk to about this. I also need to know what good colleges/institutes/universities in New York teach graphic designing and would test me for my ability. And I need to know what courses/subjects are necessary to be with a good grade in order to achieve something that will open the door for me to have the opportunity of being in the designer’s crew.

Anyway, just tell me what to do cause I really hate just wasting my summer doing nothing. I’d really appriciate it and give you 10 points for it. Thank You!

Better states to get ahead then others?

Im from New York, and will be getting my associates degree this summer. I know that some states requirements for schooling are less then others. Does this mean having a degree from a school in NY, would look better than an associates degree from Florida, or some other state? Would it be easier for me to find a job in a state with lower requirements then it would be in NY where there is a lot of competition?

Should i quit my current job to find another?

Hi everyone!
I’m kind of confused and disappointed. Last summer i got my Master Degree. Sent like 10-15 resumes every day, had some interviews, but no luck. In december i was offered a bookkeeping job in a small company, and i agreed just because there was no any offers for me and i had to pay my bills, rent and everything. The salary is just 350$ weekly and full-time employment. For New York it’s not really enough.
Now i started to look for another job again. And already had some interviews, but it was really difficult and stressful… because i have to ask a permission to leave earlier, or come later… i just can’t do it every time… and also it’s hard to answer calls about my interview inside the office… so i receive voice mails and call them back from somewhere else during the work time. It makes me very nervous:(
I’m thinking about quit this job to make my search more productive and comfortable. Otherwise i will never find a job… but in the same time it is not really easy to find ANY JOB right now. I just don’t wanna stock without anything… and start looking for at least something after one month staying at home.
So… what do you think i should do? Is there any other ways to search?

I’m planning to getaway , what do i need?

In my situation , i should run away just to give my self some time alone. Obviously i’m to young to run away and i probably won’t even have enough money to run away some place so that’s why i’m going to wait like a year or two. I just need a plan. Money , of course , transportation , food , etc…
I know i need to get a job , save up about 600 dollars. I could save even more money to buy a car but Thad take forever. I’m trying to be rebellious before i turn 18. i’ll probably just take a friend who has their license or whatever. I live in Maryland and all i need is a place to run away too. Florida? nah, i go their every summer. New York , just went . same with ocean city and Myrtle beach. I guess i can’t go anywhere to extreme… so help me find a place along the east coast that’s perfect to go to?
Ps : I would tell at least my older sister that i’m running away.

Fluent speakers–can someone translate these into Spanish for me please?

I have to have a conversation in front of the Spanish class today, and I want a base to start out my topics so I don’t freeze up. Would someone pleaseplease translate these for me so I have an idea of how to start my oral? I’m terrified of public speaking. Thank you so much!!

1. The economy is the worst I’ve ever seen. I know it was worse during the Great Depression, but I never imagined it could get this bad. I have considered moving to a big city to find a job because this job pays so little and I’m having trouble finding a new one. All of my credit card bills are past due, and I can’t seem to pay off my debts. I had to take out a loan against my house in order to pay for my son’s college tuition. I don’t know how I will ever pay it back with my current salary. If I had known before how bad the economy would get, I would have made investments and figured out how to save more money. Now, it seems hopeless.

2. The best spring vacation is traveling to New York City. My mother and I go every year to see the newest fashions and shop for summer clothes. New York is beautiful in the spring because there are so many people in the parks and on the streets enjoying the weather. The street vendors are out selling hot dogs, and there are festivals in the parks. My favorite part about going on vacation in New York is the musicals. This year, my mother lost her job, so we can’t afford to see as many shows at the theater. If I had known earlier, I would have started saving. Anyway, we’ll have lots of fun this year.

3. Technology is developing so quickly. Every day, I’m amazed by the new advances. I can only imagine what it will be like in the future. The computers are already so advanced, but I think that soon all computers will have screens you can touch instead of keyboards. Also, I’m sure that new technology will emerge soon that makes even laptops much more portable. This will be great especially for me because I’m a reporter, and I take my laptop everywhere. If the computer is very tiny and light, it won’t put so much strain on my back. I also think that cars will stop running on gasoline soon. This will greatly reduce carbon emissions and save the planet. If people had known a long time ago what damage cars do to the earth, they would have started developing technology much sooner, I think. I love new technological developments because as a reporter, my life is all about efficiency.
I know it’s kind of heavy, but if you’re fluent it should only take a minute–I would be SO!! thankful. Please? Someone?

What should I say to my Rich Brother who calls me lazy because I can’t keep a full time job?

Because I have a problem with depression.
I’m taking whatever medicine my psychiatrist prescribes.
But it only helps solve 40% of the depression problem.

My rich brother became rich because he married a girl from a rich family who works in real estate.
His wife’s family owns buildings (I don’t know how many) in the New York City area.

My ???ambitious??? brother comes into work at 11:30 in the morning and usually leaves early at around 2:30 pm when he has to go to the bank to deposit the money that came in that day from people who rent space or apartments in buildings his wife’s family owns or manages.

And then he goes home for the rest of the day.

During the summer he leaves for his summer vacation home in Upstate New York Thursday afternoon at 3:00 pm
And comes back at 1:00 pm the following Monday afternoon

And for the last 2 weeks of August he goes on a fancy Vacation trip somewhere
In December Christmas time he goes for another 2 week fancy vacation.

I once asked him if he would ever help me financially or help me find a good job and he said No.

My brother doesn’t seem to have the energy to help me. But he has enough energy to criticize me for being depressed.

I need some career advice please?! ?

***FIRST THINGS FIRST***
***I appologize a million times for the length of this post and I thank you a million times in advance for reading it all and helping me out!***

Hi, May 2007 I finished my first year at the university and was hired at the advertising agency that my Aunt owns. I was only going to work there for the summer until the next semester. Time flew by and I missed cut off dates for registration etc so I decided to work until the spring semester.

So basically my work consisted of proofing and editing script for ads and running to the bank to make deposits.

My Aunt owns not only the advertising agency but several franchises that are pretty much retail. The centers are 3 states with at least 3 centers or more in each state.

Because of the growth of opening more centers I became more involved with that particular business and I started having no advertising related work and started having more accounting work since the accountant was in need of more assistance.

I had every intention of going back to school but I found that I kind of have a knack for and have worked out very well in the accounting department.

Now it is November 08 a year and a half later and im still there and am now the full time accounts payable clerk. I had every intention and still have a yearning to go back to school but I really like the people and the work that I do and its nice to be around my aunt and my mother everyday so I am kind of caught in between going back to school for what was my dream or staying put and taking online classes in accounting to further my potential.

One of the main reasons I do not want to be here is because I feel that people look at me and think: “you only have that job because you are related to the owner” when really my boss is the accountant not my aunt…[although she OWNS the place]

The other big reason i dont want to be there is beacuse I wanted to go to school for the occupation that I believed was my calling since i was very very young.

So do you think it looks tacky and like I am “using” my aunt for a “free ride” kind of life? I mean I DO earn my paycheck…

So what are some of your reccomendations? Do I quit and go back to school? [tuition isnt an issue] Do I keep my job? for only being there a year the accountant is very complimentary of me and has raised my initial pay from my starting pay a dramatic increase. I really just dont know what to do. ON one hand I really want to stay cuz i love the people and i like what im doing but on the other i still have this piece of my heart that craves to go back to school and fulfill my “dream” I mean…someone told me that I already found my dream career i just didnt know it yet…

Thanks A TOOOON and again I appologize for the length!

What am i entitled to?

Basically…My friend and I opened a children’s clothing store in November 2009. We were both given $2000AU by our partners to give us a start. There was no loan involved as we did not meet the criteria.
Over the months of opening I then contributed just over $5000AU of my own money and my friend only just over $1000AU.

The business wasn’t really busy to generate any income. The figures roughly were – Nov 2009 to end Dec 2010 expenses $8000 and income about $1500. Then Jan 2010 to March 19th 2010 expenses about $5000 and income about $1500. I did the maths of what supplies we needed to get in and a budget for the shop and estimated we needed to earn about $1000 per week to survive and move forward.

After running out of my own cash flow and realising the business was going nowhere i decided it was time to pack up and leave. I approached my friend/business partner and explained all this and said we need to sell up and leave now or we will go into massive debt by placing large stock orders that i didn’t think would sell given the business history. She said she wanted to stay and would buy my share out.
She then decided that she would need to go bankrupt because of her personal loans she had taken out and never repaid and she wanted to put business in her defactos name.

I signed over the shop name thinking it was all good and she would pay me some entitlements.
He has then turned around saying they owe me nothing, its his shop and i get nothing.

Now all i have signed over is the business name. My name is actually still on the property lease and no contract was signed regarding the stock in the shop. All the goods were purchased under my joint ABN with ex-freind business partner.

I never expected all the money i put in back , just the difference of what we both contributed. If we both left when i said we could have sold up and recovered some of the losses.

If my name and ABN are still on the lease and i have proof i purchased goods could i walk in there and take stock?
Whats your advice, feel free to ask for more information. I know im silly for having no contract drawn up in the first place and for going into business with a friend so you dont need to tell me that.

Thanks

web hosting/e-commerce?

Even an old man like Myself can see that e-commercce is the future, and while I consider My self to be fairly comfortable with using th einternet and computers, I am a long way from being an expert on building web sites, and setting up e-commerce accounts. So I have some questions I would like to understand better before I proceed with establsihing My own web business…

I am going to have to start with some kind of a “welcome page” which I am pretty sure I can handle.

But from there I want to split between a “free tour” and a “members login”page.
The free tour is probably nothing more than linking other web pages which are no more complicated than the welcome page??? But the members sign in page, how would I go about setting that up???

I am also going to what some way of billing My customers for their montlhy memberships and for on line purchases, which I am guessing would invovle something like pay pals and a link to an e-commerce capable bank account which I think I have with washington mutual.

I want the ability to up load videos and music for viewing and sale.

And I am going to want an on line catolog of merchandise related to My business.
I am also going to want some kind of members only chat room.

And I want to have some kind of live auction capability.

I am going to bet that there are other things I am going to need to know that I amnot even aware of yet, and I am hoping that with this e-mail I can get started and then as I have other questions and problems I will be able to seek guidence and advice from ????

Thank You for your Assistance.

Let’s see if we can get some agreement: planning for retirement in America.?

I want to see if we can at least get agreement on some basic retirement planning advice. I’m going to list some basic guidelines for retirement planning and see if we can at least get some agreement on this.

Rules on planning for retirement

1. Learn to get by with less: If you’re the sort of person who is addicted to Big Box store sales and going out to eat at all those mid-level chain restaurants; always having the latest cell-phone; picking up on that new Internet subscription service, etc. then you’ll never be able to retire. If you ever expect to have anything in this economy you have to come to the realization that the majority of goods and services available to consumers nowadays are pathetic garbage that really wouldn’t be worth having even if they were offered to you for free. Save your money. Buy second-hand or vintage goods wherever possible. Aside from your food, underwear, t-shirts and socks there is really very little that you have to buy new.

2. Get an education: the differential in income levels between those with and without a college education is growing. High-school graduates in this country typically earn less than $12 an hour (2011 dollars) for most of their lifetime, and many reach retirement age with nothing more than Social Security checks to retire on.

3. Compare interest rates: many Americans get caught in the trap of putting money into retirement accounts when they have outstanding debt at interest rates higher than they’re earning in their retirement accounts. Paying off high interest debt is better for you in the long run than putting money into low-interest investment accounts.

4. Plan on retiring – sort of: few Americans will ever be able to retire completely. With many American main-streets being loaded with empty store-fronts many retirees may want to look into starting small businesses: such as small independent specialty shops to help them maintain some sort of income. Your business doesn’t have to be in its own storefront. Develop a business plan that will leverage the professional skills you’ve built up over your lifetime and plan on having a second career as a freelancer well into your retirement years.

That’s just four basic guidelines. Can we all at least agree on these guidelines?
Where are the conservative comments? I get three inane comments from three useless jack-wads and where are the rest of you? Taking notes?

what is a good website for web design?

I am interested in web design, possibly wanting to start a business web site in the future. So, I want to know what is a good web site that will give advice and tutorial on how to start a website, the basics of html and the necessity of a blog website. I know I said I might possibly open a business website but I want to start off at a beginner’s level in blog website. To even open your own website is it free in terms of blog or business?

Why is there a new trend in psychology to consider Eastern methods?

Is this complete BS, I’m trying to wrap my head around it. Is it a form of marketing expansion? Why? That’s a like a medical doctor recommending acupuncture to cure a tumor? What gives?
It often works my ass, there is no empirical basis for it. Multicultural, please.
Great Cavassi, so you are part of the problem and not the solution. What a douche
CBT is purely Western. You obviously know nothing about Dr. Beck. He did not spend his you meditating under a tree.

Marketing a new business. Both online and offline.?

What are the best tried and tested methods. I have heard of Google Ad-words and using Keywords on the website itself to get it higher in the results. I will use google analytics and such.
I am just wanting to know, In your experience what is your top tried and tested method for marketing.
Online and offline?
I will be wholesaling household goods
Clearance End of lines and such.By the pallet.

What are the best methods of getting new immigrants to be pro-active in terms of voting in the United States?

Candidates communicating in the immigrants native languages, marketing through their media outlets, relating to their issues, conducting surveys, etc….

What was the significance of the years following the Industrial Revolution to the marketing?

What was the significance of the years following the Industrial Revolution to the marketing
research industry?
A) High-tech products such as CARDs, CATIs, SPSS, and DBMs developed.
B) The early development of questionnaires, which were put into use providing marketing
researchers with a method of gathering new information from customers, dealers, and
competitors, occurred.
C) Companies were separated from their customers, and there was a need to understand
faraway markets.
D) Marketing research became fully accepted; formal recognition of the marketing research
function led to the creation of marketing research departments.
E) Nothing really changed in the marketing research industry after the Industrial Revolution.

Have your own business? PLEASE help. I am needing advice on getting started marketing my own product~?
