What tangible things do you think it's important for a child to learn before leaving home?
How to take care of themselves and thier belongings/home, cleanliness, being responsible (in every aspect), self respect* and respect for others, the importance of continued education, importance of family & proper parenting, and to continually seek wisdom/enlightenment, wisely choosing who they associate with, etc. Most of what I can think of are things (morals/values, etc.) that should be taught while the child(ren) is/are growing, the other things would come with age but should be introduced or be prepared for before leaving the home (such as basic car care/servicing, managing a bank account, budgeting, etc etc.) . . Note: My daughter is 11 and she has joined a children's website that encourages resposibilites such as earning money, saving, wise spending, continued education, social skills, taking care of home, etc. etc. You take care of responsibilites as you navigate through the site. I love it! .
How long should I wait to change my tongue ring?
I've gotten so many different responses on this question so I figured I should ask on here. My piercer told me right after the swelling goes down, and a friend who got his tongue pierced at a different place told me he was supposed to wait 6-8 weeks. I've also heard 7-10 days.. I don't really like the huge barbell, so what's the soonest I can change it?
How do I tell my parents I'm changing my major?
I'm currently in a Culinary Arts but I'm going to switch to Hospitality. The problem is that I don't know how to tell my parents. I'm afraid to bring it up because hey have this plan for me to be a chef and they're going to be super pissed when I tell them I don't want to do culinary. They're the type that are "My way or the highway" and I know this will cause a lot of fights and drama. Any suggestions on how I go telling them?
Why do people feel fear while trying out new things?
It's the "comfortable shoe" syndrome. Few people are willing to step away from what they know because they have a instinctive fear of the unknown. Although I'm no professional psychologist, I would say that the fear of the unknown that most of us feel are residual instincts from our early ancestors, from a time where the unknown could be, and often was, deadly.We like to think of ourselves as "civilized", but we really aren't. From our personal fears to our group viciousness in war, we prove everyday that underneath the fancy technology and the societies we live in, there is a howling savage that is barely held in check.

Show me another » Changing my schedule at mcdonalds? Ok guys i hope you read this because i am having troubles with this. (Im colombian so my writing is not so good) I work at mcdonalds in the grill, I work tuesday, thursday friday and sunday, I work perfectly everyday expect friday because is busy and my is there so he is checking everything and i get nervous. The thing is that i work part time and I saw people changing schedule all the time but they work in the front, they change schedule because there are many people in the front, drive thru , etc, but in the grill there are few people so thats why I dont know if change my schedule or not. My friend who know the boss years before told me that he know when a person doesnt want to work busy days and reduce your hours if you are trying to get away from that. I am 19 years old and I can work there but not friday, any other days I can work perfectly, my other friend just change his schedule for no more fridays and he got 10 hours, i used to work 12 or 14 but now Im getting 22,. My question is what you think about it, i am afraid of my boss reaction, what can he tell me, no? i am part time, I can tell him i have no ride after that time, so what sould I do. There are no many peope in grill fridays afternoon, what would you do? because each week is a martydom waiting for fridays to work, I dont enjoy that day, my boss trust in me, he smile me even when he is serious and I think he appreciate I work fridays cuz nobody else want to do it. My teammate told me, we need you, I said well its my decision I dont need to pay anything, my parents give me all, what I do please,m I already printed out my new schedule and I was going to give it to him today but I regretted, tomorrow I see him again, what I do guys
I’m stuck in a life I don’t want, but I’m scared to get out. It’s overwhelming. In my head it’s too late and I should lie back and accept my fate. How can I change my thinking and thus my actions?
You’re stuck in a life you dislike, but you're scared because you think if you change, it may be more of the same or worst (been there, done that)What helped me was thinking I'm stuck in a life I don't want to, and if i change, i don't know what my happen, it my be bad but it may be good. Right now, there's a 50% change things may workout just fine, while i’m 100% sure that this life will continue to be horrible.I focused on those 50% change! Nothing was ever going to change if i kept in the same place, but if moved, there's 50% change it will be ok.This is realistic, so i find it helpful.Also, if you're considering changs,please analyse your behavior, you may have contributed by mistake, and you want to change that now, don't you?But change takes time, and if you don't take baby steps, you'll probably find yourself in the same hole, as i did. It may take 1, 2, 3, 4 years, it depends, but I can assure you, you won't change your life in 3 months. That's not poasible.You don't need to change the way you look (that's a common mistake) to change your life, unless you wish to do it, for other reason.Why don't you do something diferent day after day? That's what I did! I began waking up early, going for a walk, cooking and be healty. Put one thing (it doesnt needs to be these things) at a time. Go to a bar tomorrow, alone or grab a friend, if you like, repeat the experiencie. Read a book, go to the beach, grab luch outside, search of a job, begin an activity (do you enjoy writting? Start a blog; photograpphing? Hello instagram with lots of cool pics) the important thing is to find you. You be you!Be your bestie! Always
