Is 20 years old too late to start college?
There is a perception that most people go to college right out of high school. However, depending on the type of institution you are viewing it can skew this age distinction. I have work at differnet large state institutions, where the on-campus student population was younger...hence more visiable, but that only accounted for a fraction of the number of student's who went to the school. When most people think "college" they think of the eighteen year old lying on the grass. The reality is that the twenty two year old, or older, have a life outside of the institution and are not necessairly statying there. It's okay to contact a school, ask them what type of student population that they cater too. I was about to say, "non-traditional" is one option, but your age is so close that I don't even think that you fall into this catagory. However people paying for their own way through college tend to attend later, not right out of high school. Finally, as someone who is twenty you have more life experience and more than likely more aligned priorites than someone who is eighteen. There are a number of student's who go to college that first year out of high school and aren't successful, simply becuase they don't have the maturity to deal with the real world situations that confront them.
Can I legally drink underage if Im with my Sister? or GF?
Sorry to be so "ignorant" to the law and all of your "smart" and "educated" answers, but now I see where all of my original rights given to me by the constitution went down the drain, because you all are morons and do not understand or even know what rights we have and were once given to us. Dam*, if you all could possibly go back to study one or two college courses in LEJA or even a basic pre-law course, you would be so much better off. Again, thank you to those who did understand what I was trying to say. And if you did not catch it in my reasoning for this question, I basically new the answer to the above question and that my sister nor my gf (even if she was my fiance could not pass as a guardian or spouse, I just wanted to confirm it and see what you had to think). Some bartenders and waitresses and waiters are really dumb people. As for those who do not know what the law is I will supply links for you to read and prove how ignorant dumb you "ad
Am I allowed to homeschool my little sister?
Indiana is one of the more homeschool friendly states. Here are the Laws in your state: http://www.hslda.org/laws/analysis/India... In a nutshell here is the law in Indiana: "A child may attend “another school which is taught in the English language.” Another school can be homeschool. There are no stipulations regarding teacher qualifications, like some states. There are stipulations regarding subjects to be taught. There are no standardized testing requirements. You just need to maintain attendance records to verify days of instruction You will also want to maintain grades and a portfolio of some of her work--although not required by your state. This is more for your little sister to document her progress and create Transcripts when she is ready to graduate and wants to apply for college. Hope this helps
My sister found my "toy"?
Ok there's really no category for this, but I'm putting it in parenting in the hopes of getting a good perspective because there's no way I can ask my own parents. I'm a 20 year old college student still living at home, and my sister is 13. The other day, she found a couple of my special "toys" in my room- completely my fault for forgetting to lock the damn drawer- she asked me what they were and said that she was really confused. (she's had a fairly sheltered upbringing and she knows about sex, but not much that goes beyond the basics) I was able to get away with telling her I had one item for my biology class and the other was a neck massager- I just froze up, I had no clue how to handle the situation! We're actually pretty open with each other and she's more comfortable coming to me with this kind of "girl" stuff than she is going to our parents. But now I'm afraid that she's going to realize what the toys really are and she'll start using them secretly, which of course, is gross and unsanitary. I do have an extra vibrator that I haven't used, and I'm wondering whether I should tell her the truth and give it to her before she starts experimenting with mine. I feel like 13 is maybe still too young for something like that, but I know that even in just a 7- year age gap, the world is a much different place from when I was 13. Kids are becoming more sexually aware at younger ages all the time, so what's the harm in encouraging her to explore her body? It's natural and maybe it will keep her away from boys for awhile longer. It's not something I'm going to discuss with my mother, because she doesn't know about my toys (although I know she has them too, and is not opposed to them) and that would be an incredibly awkward conversation, anyway. If my sister were 15 or 16, I wouldn't even blink, I'd probably just give her the vibrator, but I'm concerned that 13 is still too young for something like that. What should I do? I'd appreciated any advice or input on this! Thank you!
Why does my dad always yell at my sister and is really nice to me?
My older sister is 20 and she’s always been distant towards him.. apparently when she was growing up she saw him hitting our mom and him cheating etc. I believe her because I sometimes remember that but nothing too clearly because I was too young at that age. He still has problems with gambling and cheating but the hitting stopped. My sister tries to get my mom to divorce him but it just doesn’t happen, and anyway my parents marriage/ relationship is way out of my league to deal with. My sister and my dad ALWAYS fight, and before she left for college whenever they argued he would ALWAYS bring up that she got bad grades and would never get into a good college and thus never amount to anything. And when she did decide on which college to go to, he just said that EVERYONE gets accepted there because it’s a low standard uni and she’s so stupid she could only get into there, and she will never be anything in her life. My dad is always supportive of me and never says anything like that. I’m 13(girl), and whenever I get a bad grade he just says it’s okay that I’m still smart and one bad grade doesn’t hurt. And he’s always on my side. I don’t really argue or yell with anyone, including him. I’m the baby of the family I guess because there’s only of us (me and my sister and yes we are full sisters not half or step sisters) (see below for more)
My sister thinks she's better than everyone and it's really starting to annoy me..?
So I am 18 and my sister just turned 20. Im going to start college this fall as a freshmen and shes going to be in her junior year of college. She always tell me why people always give her a weird look when she explains to them that shes going into nursing, got into nursing school, has a job with the government, goes to the best private school in colorado, blah blah. Its because people give her a weird look because shes soo stuck up about it and comes out like shes the best..no joke. Im always being supportive and telling her "Oh its because they're jealous that you do all those things." I would care less but now its to the extreme where shes sooo cocky and its starting to really annoy me. I seen people her age and younger who are wayyy better than her in school and what not and they don't go off as if their cocky and better than everyone. I myself work at a bank and im majoring in criminal justice but i dont go off if im better than anyone else. People think shes so pretty and i think that also plays a role why shes so stuck up and cocky about everything..Honestly im not jealous because this has been going on for awhile and now im starting to realize who she really is as a person and I can't stand how annoying it is. She would also tell me how people always tries to compete with her with school and stuff but who cares! She used to be all shy and now since she changed ( wardrobe, hairstyle, makeup, etc) shes been more confidence to the point where its cocky and trying to impress people. Well i guess im a little jealous. Oh and she getting "accepted" to nursing school well i dont know about that...in her college only the students with the best gpa and has a 3.8 gets accepted...she has 2.9 she hasn't showed me her "acceptance" letter ever since. And she says people tries to compete with her..well shes taking summer classes and she told me in a cocky way that shes ganna take criminal justice because it sounds fun and i was totally fine with it. When i tell her that i wanna take something in the medical field she gets all racked up and stuff..idk what to say to her anymore..
