I’m not sure if I should be offended or not?
I’m 18 yrs old and I’ve been in a relationship for the last nine months. We’ve been through a lot together and it has caused some friction with my mother. I love her but she’s very against me being sexually active, I am on a pill currently. Me and my boyfriend do have intercourse every once in a while but not everyday. One day me and my boyfriend had intercourse one day and just to be clear the reason she found out is because we have security cameras in our house. She told me not to disrespect the house and of course I let my hormones get the best of me. I understand that she was upset that she found out however, she proceeded to say that I am a “whore” and that I give it up to my boyfriend to easy and that he’ll leave me for some other girl because I give it up so easily. She further then said I will go to hell. She’s always told me this since I’ve started dating but I’m not sure if I should be offended or just let it slide because she’s my mother.
Should I take a job that I'm not sure if I can do my best at?
You can do your best. Your best may not be as good as someone who has been web developing for 10 years, but it is still your best. Regardless whether you are good at something, so long as you're doing your best, you cannot ask more of yourself.Assuming that you have been honest with your potential employers, they are familiar with your immediate limitations, and this is something you are very interested in and have a passion to learn, you should jump on this.If you have not been completely honest or have misled them into thinking you know more than you actually do, then this becomes a tough decision. As an employer, I would hope you would decline the job because I would not want dishonest people working for me. Then be more honest at your next interview.I'm going with the assumption you have been honest. This is an opportunity. Don't wonder what might have been if you took this job. Take it, learn from it, and enjoy the ride.
What do I do if I am not sure if I should go to law school?
There is no rule forcing you to go straight from undergraduate to law school. Of course if you have students loans that will require repayment unless you stay enrolled that would be a factor. However, given the glut of recent law graduates in the US who are competing against experienced lawyers for positions as well, you should be cautious about racking up major debt to try law school if you don't feel strongly called to the profession. If you have a high LSAT and decent grades, you have the aptitude to finish a law degree. The problem is that aptitude will do you no good without a strong desire and the will to drive you through the torturous first year, the tedious second year and the exhausting third year.Law school is a means to an end. Most people do not find it an enjoyable process. If you don't have a strong reason to persevere, you won't. It would be better to explore other career options before racking up debt and wasting a year or more of your life in a highly stressful program on the road to a whole lifetime in a profession that you aren't excited about even before it begins.I worked for six years in a different career between my undergraduate program and law school. It was time well-spent that has aided me in my time as an attorney. However, I specifically chose a field that was complimentary to practicing law and that would give me valuable skills and a viable lifelong career if I chose to not get a law degree. I was glad that I knew who I was as a mature adult who had some experience of the world before I began law school. I had a surgeon, a few nurses, several former police officers, a number of experienced accountants, a few military officers and an engineer in my law school class. We all knew who we were and why we wanted to become attorneys.
Should you do something if you are not 100% sure of it?
There is a wonderful quote from economist John Maynard Keynes about exactly this problem:Is our expectation of rain, when we start out for a walk, always more likely than not, or less likely than not, or as likely as not? I am prepared to argue that on some occasions none of these alternatives hold, and that it will be an arbitrary matter to decide for or against the umbrella. If the barometer is high, but the clouds are black, it is not always rational that one should prevail over the other in our minds, or even that we should balance them, though it will be rational to allow caprice to determine us and to waste no time on the debate.(My bold). Keynes is telling us, very plainly, that we can never be certain of anything when we take a decision. The right thing to do is to collect as much information as you can (black clouds, barometer readings), and make the best decision you can. If the information is not able to inform your decision, just make the decision, and don't waste time deliberating.My interpretation of Keynes (rather than what he actually said) is: sometimes you will make a wrong decision, but your likelihood of a wrong decision is not decreased by spending more time weighing it up, when there is no further information to guide you.The full quote can be found here: A Treatise on Probability - Wikipedia .
Should I go on a date when I am not sure if I am interested in someone?
I did that. I met someone online and I wasn’t sure if I felt an attraction for her. So I went out with her and I left myself an out. I even had people call in a fake emergency just in case. After the first date, she wanted to plan the second. Still hesitant, I went out with her again. She was a great conversationalist. Even though I didn't feel much of an attraction, I decided to give it some more time. Then we went on a third, a fourth, a fifth. By that time, I thought of her as my dinner companion. I didn't try to sleep with her because I didn't want to be that guy. I don't use people.I believe it was at that point, or soon after, she told me that I was what she was looking for in a man and she wanted more. I was honest and I said that I wasn't sure if I wanted more or not. I told her that I didn't feel an attraction, and I might never feel anything else for her. So I'd understand if you'd want to give up.She wasn't upset at all. In fact she went entirely in a different direction. She said that she wanted me to be happy with the right person, even if that person wasn't her. We stayed friends and we both dated others… Or so I thought. I dated others while she just waited for me.Long and short of it, we ended up dating exclusively a year later. Cool thing is by that time I actually had feelings for her, though I wasn't sure what it was. It was 2–3 years after that when I knew that I wanted her and only her in my life. Though deep down I think she traded down dating me. I still do.It's now been 10 years and I'm sure I made the right choice. We're married now. We're both happy. We are each other's best friend and closest confidant.Just go out and take it slow. See what develops. You never know, she just might be the one.
I'm not sure if I should wear makeup?
I'm 14 years young and incredibly insecure... I see all these girls at my school and they all just seem so perfect, and pretty. And when I see myself I'm like wow... There's very few times I feel pretty, not very often though. Im not sure if I should start wearing make up, because I'm pretty sure it would make me feel better about myself... What do yo guys think? Should I? Or should I not?
So mcafee told me something, and I'm not sure if I should take it seriously.?
Mcafee decided to do a random security scan, and found a "trojan" on my computer in c:\windows\system32 called "spwinres.dll". I'm not sure if this is actually something I should get rid of, or if mcafee's just drunk. I don't wanna accidentally delete something crucial to my laptop's functionality.
Now I am not sure if I should kick my boyfriend in the nuts?
Last month I found out this boy was the one that spread a rumor about how mean I am! So I saw him at the lunch line and kicked him in the nuts, he just made this very surprised face holding his nuts, then after 3 or 5 seconds he started feeling it and fell to the floor in the fetal position. I thought it was so funny and couldn’t help but to laugh, all the girls laughed too and most of the boys just stared. After a few minutes he even started throwing up, wow I am glad I hurt him that much, sure serves him right. I was almost finishing my lunch when he started crying with a very ugly face, then after a while he got off the floor and left(he must have lost his appetite =)). Later I found out he had to lay down for about an hour in the nurses office. He never messed with me again! Anyway, my boyfriend is always bugging me about how wrong it was for me to do that to him, and I am FED UP, I warned him 2 times now!!
