After my daughter had a sleepover, her Ipod was missing from her room. I want to call parents, what do I say?
We did tear this house up looking for almost 2 weeks now. I went through my daughters room with a fine tooth comb and we even moved the couches and I looked in every pocket of every article of clothing we own.We removed everything from him bookshelves and moved her bed in case it would have fallen. She always kept it on a particular shelf in her bedroom and never took it out of the house even once. I have the reciept and box with the serial #, but I doubt that will help. We will file a police report in case it ends up being found somehow. I just called two of the parents and they say their daughters do not have. My daugther personally called each girl to ask if they had seen or accidentally taken. We have literally looked in every nook and cranny in this house. I was hoping and praying to find it because it hurts to think that her so called friends could have taken it from her.And what makes it worse is we don't know what girl took it. We can buy a new one, but that won't solve...
My brother caught my dancing in my room? So embarrassing? What do I do?
Sometimes when I'm in my room all alone, I lock the door & start dancing to the music on my ipod. It was like 2AM & I thought I locked the door, so I wad doing my lame dance moves & IDK how long my brother was watching me but didn't notice him until I heard his laughter & I stopped dancing & awkwardly smiled at him. He laughed at me & said,"That was so gay, nice moves, haha!" & walked out my room. I'm SO EMBARRASSED, OMG! I don't even want to talk to my brother anymore, but I still love him but it's just awkward. I NEVER dance, only in my room by myself with the door locked. He already makes fun of me a lot for being shy & awkward & not having much friends. This is just gunna make it worse.What do I do? I'm never dancing again!!! BTW I'm 17 & he's 18 & I'm a girl
Help my parents took my iPod away?
My parents are like that too. Theirs always something that just not right. I wish i could hide in my room all the time, but unfortunately it doesn't even lock, and all thats in there is my bed and closet! I would kindly ask them for it back, but say something like if you don't take it away again, i promise i'll spend more time with you, but if that's too much of a commitment then say, i will walk the dog, before you even have to ask! Be enthusiastic, really try to convince your parents you're mature. And its only three years till your in college, no parents no rules : finally your life. I have one more year till college :( Good Luck Answer Mine ?? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkywBCRcEcSVyzb3cVt_FPLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130506014334AALmzzn
What are these little white (sort of tan) bugs in my room?
i found four of these tiny bugs crawling on my ipod dock so i got scared and went to change my sheets. i pulled up my sheet and there were two more under it (they were on the mattress pad). my ipod thing is right by my bed so i think i might have an infestation somewhere. they sort of look like the bugs you find in books but they're a tiny bit bigger and i don't have books near my bed. i'm not sure if they're dust mites because i don't think you can see dust mites without a microscope. i don't have any bites, either.
Should I let my almost 14 year old son take his phone to his room on school nights when he goes to bed?
Probably, yeah.This is something I’ve considered a LOT because my parents have always been very controlling over having my phone on me at certain times.For example, I’m not allowed to have my phone with me while I do homework, I can only take my phone out with me if I’m going somewhere without my parents,and I should generally leave my phone at my parents’ room at 7:00 pm sharp. Apparently, this is because ‘I shouldn’t have any reason to use my phone after such time’ (although, this last one has kinda lost its importance since I now have to use my phone as an alarm to get up. Therefore, I HAVE to have it with me in my room.)Anyways, I’ve thought about it and can now give you reasons why you SHOULD let your son take his phone to his room on school nights:It would show you trust himIt would build up responsibility from his own partIt would build up respect for you (you show you trust him by letting him take his phone, her respects you because of that)It would show him the importance of timeIf he really does stay up late on his phone, he’ll soon realize how fast time passes from only 8:00 pm to 2 in the morning and only (about) four hours of sleep left. This will make him see that time is something that can’t be gained back and hours spent on his phone at night are hours of sleep he just lostHe probably KNOWS that he needs a certain amount of sleep at night and will not even use the phone because he knows it’ll keep him upHe’s old enough to make decisions for himself. At least, small ones like these.Then again, you should always consider other points, like:Does he always seem tired?In that case, no don’t let him take his phone to his room, he’s probably not getting enough sleep anywaysIs he getting good grades?If he isn’t, more privileges probably isn’t the answer. Also, bad grades COULD be due to lack of sleep/time and more distractions aren’t the best answer eitherDoes he stress over homework and take a long time on it?This could be for two reasons: One, he didn’t get enough sleep so couldn’t pay enough attention in class and therefore is having a hard time with homework or he’s just tired. Either way, the phone could be a problem (but there are many other reasons for this, don’t just assume it’s the phone’s fault)Well, that’s my say on it.PLEASE consider both sides of the issue so that you can make the best decision for your son.
My parents have said that I am no longer allowed to have my iPod Touch in my room anymore. I don't think this is reasonable. Why have they done this?
Paul's Guide To Deciphering Children's B.S. lists the following as the top 3 indicators that a child or teen is lying to his/her parents (or the Quora community):Any explanation that begins with "I wasn't doing anything." pretty much guarantees they were doing something.Any explanation that contains the word "just". "I was just sitting here!" is an attempt to steer the attention away from what they were primarily doing.(Case in point) Any story that begins in the middle.See, all stories have a beginning, middle, and end. People generally begin telling them in the beginning, but for some reason you have decided to start yours in the middle.I am guessing the reason yours starts in the middle is because the beginning is where you did something to justify not being trusted with your iPod while in the privacy of your room, but you have omitted that part of the story as if this simply happened with no explanation or context, like lightning striking unpredictably from the sky. BAM! Your iPod is gone! They just took it away out of the blue with no cause.But it didn’t happen like that, and you know this. So accept responsibility for whatever prompted the removal of this privilege. If you put as much effort into re-establishing your parents' trust as you presently are in trying to build a consensus of indignation among internet strangers with no skin the game, then you’ll have your iPod back in a fair amount of time.
Does Sleeping with your iPod Touch give you cancer?
So, every morning lately, I have been waking up to a really bad headache. I have an outlet to charge my iPod right beside my head so, my iPod is usually right beside me. So, I was wondering if sleeping that close to electronics, causes cancer...or a brain tumor? Maybe it's just my pillows....? Please, help. Thank you.
