Microwave it. Tell us what happens :3

I agree with Amaury and Misty, first do give her some space, as a female I know how detrimental somethnig can be if I am not given space, I begin to detest the thought of seeing and hearing the person until I stop hearing from them and then I can resume the friendship.

Secondly, don't beat yourself up so much, you'll only hurt yourself. I think some time apart will be good as it will give you both a breather and things can happen naturally and I know you don't want to but it may be exactly what you need. I would take this time to think about why you are feeling this way and how you can rectify it which is what I do in order to be productive. If you can figure that out then you should feel much better about yourself and then you can feel happier with your girlfriend.

Jayn! : D congratulations! For you haven't been congratulated enough xD I wish you the absolute best as I can't think of anyone more deserving of...

Simply because I don't think you have been congratulated enough >:3 Very well done, I think you and Jayn both really deserve this position and I...

Sig quoting this!

I do apologise >:3 Congratulations my dearest blue people!

... Now have some Sam and Dean:

I think this is us Cat.

I do apologise but if you ask a simple question and want a simple answer than the spamzone is where that thread goes. If you also want a bit of discussion then the spamzone can offer that to (hey look how this thread turned out), it fits in a lot more with the other spam threads as opposed to the help with life threads.

We are not like other sites obviously, I don't really know as I only go on this one but we like quality and we like to see people's post counts mean something and to make reaching premium a real achievement as opposed to just being activity in the spamzone. I am sorry that we are stricter on these things than other sites but these are the rules we have set out.

We can ask you sure, but it is also good of you to give that information. All information helps when making a decision, you don't just say an off the bat answer, you may have to consider it- for something like "What shall I have for dinner?" it isn't a huge situation but I think about all the inofrmation that I have when deciding- what foods do I have, when did I last have these meals, what really needs eating in the fridge etc. You can ask a "coke or pepsi" sort of question but that is something that does belong in the spamzone. Anyway, it doesn't matter as many people have answered you anyway.

Please.



He has no soul to touch.

More than 10 words is good but for a post like this you need more depth. In the opening post of every Help with life thread, people explain their situation in depth (I'm not saying write an essay but just include more information about why you need help with this choice). I do understand that you want legitimate answers but the opening thread is similar to something found in the spamzone. The difference between the spamzone and Help with life is just the amount of information given in each. I have seen members post similar topics in each section but it qualifies in the discussion due to the amount of information given.

The thing is, help with life is in the discussion section- it is a subsection of it and that means that people discuss other's problems and how to solve them so yes, depth is for discussion and to qualify for the help with life you need discussion.

I have many problems with the British education system. Now, my mum works in education so I hear her moans about Michael Gove a lot (he's the education minister in the UK) and I really don't like him. I don't just not him because of what my mother has said but because of the changes he is trying to make to our education system. Yes, it is flawed, I know it is but the changes that he proposes are just terrible.

Firstly, there is this thing called the "English bacc" and the basis of it was to replace GCSE's (courses taken between the ages of 14-16 usually) and everyone had to do english, maths and the sciences and chose 5 other subjects (I think) and had to pass ALL of them in order to get this achievement. The reason this annoys me so much is because you have to do english, maths and the sciences and I can name so many people just in my school who would never pass one of them even if they spent all their time on that one subject but that doesn't mean they are stupid or not worth employing especially in a job that doesn't even require those subjects. I understand the importance of maths/english/science but not everyone is suited to them and not everyone wants a job in that department. So basically, if someone just couldn't do maths (I use this because I think you need a very specific mind set to understand the harder bits of it to pass it) but were exceptional at all other subjects then they wouldn't get the qualification, someone should not be held back for that.

Another thing is our arrogance! Sure we get taught languages in school but not to a huge extent, I feel like England just expects all other countries to learn english and be fine with that but I really wish I had a better language education- like learning french at a really early age so I could be fluent in it and not have to rely on other people knowing english. Sure I did GCSE German but I am no where near fluent or even that good at speaking it, I am not great at getting around in Germany or Austria when I went, I only really remember the basics that I was taught which doesn't help much.

Furthermore, ISA's! Now this is very specific because they are a practical science exam for the exam board AQA. I had to do 5 in my last 2 years of school and each one was ghastly. The basis is, you do a practical (e.g. a titration in chemistry) and reocrd the results in a specific way and this is marked out of 12 and those marks come from very specific areas like all the results are within 0.5 of the standardised results the board give us which then means you don't get the mark if your acids were an incorrect concentration or something. Anyway, that isn't too bad as normally everything is fine, it's the fact that it is treated like an exam but can be done at any time within a few select months and the teacher has access to the paper and the answers and can give them to you if they chose to and everyone would get full marks! Now I heard of a lot of schools that did this but my school did not so we worked incredibly hard to get good marks. The other thing is, because the board is aware that cheating is possible they make the grade boundaries extremely high so for people who didn't cheat it is basically impossible to get anything good. Most people got U's (the lowest score) most of the time. By high boundaries I mean (out of 50) 49 A*, 47 A, 45 B, 43 C, 41 D, 39 E and anything less than 39/50 is a fail. It's just pointless and completely corrupt and should just be scrapped.

This may also be quite specific but closed book english exams. This is basically a normal english exam but you don't get a copy of the book you are studying so you have to spend so much time learning quotes when you should be learning technique and the exam is more of a measure of memory as opposed to proper english skill. I have a friend who has real problems remembering stuff off by heart due to brain deformities (he's not stupid, he's really clever and good at what he does) but he fears the exam so much and may fail it just because he can't remember stuff that well.

I do have so many qualms with the education system and I have more but can't remember them right now.

I wouldn't really think of it as nostlgia, when you say "It feels like just yesterday I was 14", you aren't necessarily looking back fondly, just feeling like it was quite close when it was actually ages ago. I think that just comes from vivid memories of that time but of course, you don't remember it as well as you would remember the recent past.

Although, it's kind of like the feeling of "It feels like it's 5pm when it's only 12pm"- I think that is a weird feeling but that is just from a day that has started earlier or you've have a very productive morning sort of thing. Anyway, this feeling would be nostalgia if it was coupled with "Man, those were good times, I remember them well!" but if it's just "It feels like only yesterday I was 14" then it's just a weird feeling of a memory. Time flies faster than we realise, I find it really bizarre, I still feel like I should be in year 13... but I am not and I just think that comes from being used to that life style but now I don't have it.

This makes more sense but there is always more information to be given out like what you think is good about each, the logistics of each, if the logistics are the same then say that but mentioning it still adds depth.

Perhaps she was stressed before with money and justified it with the excuse she gave. But I am glad she is rectifying it even if it is a little incomplete. Just make sure that, in the future, she asks you. You aren't a child, you deserve the respect of your mother even if she is stressed.
