My grades are so bad...please give me advice?

I am a junior in high school and I was always a good student. I had straight as my freshman and sophomore year taking challenging classes. I am now a junior and my grades stink! Although I am getting an A in English, Pre-Calculus, Health, and Spanish my Physics and AP US History grades are Bs and I have a C in microbiology. I literally balled my eyes out once I got my progress report because I am not used to getting these type of grades at all! I am taking two advanced science classes this semester and I have just been struggling to stay afloat. My microbiology teacher tried to reassure me that there were only 3 grades on my overall grade and me failing the quiz caused my grade to go to a C and that there would be only labs the rest of the semester (which I do fairly well in). My test corrections for physics and APUSH would bring my grades up, as my teachers tell me but I still feel like I have so much on my shoulders. I cannot even properly study for my SAT now because I am so overloaded. Please can you give me advice to help me get through the semester without tarnishing my straight A high school transcript.My grades are so bad...please give me advice?
I just read this book called ';The Organized Student,'; and maybe you need to take a moment to breathe and organize everything that is going on. Maybe you are more stressed and your grades are slipping because now the pressure is on, with the SAT's going on and with thinking about colleges and the future. On top of this, you may feel worse because you feel like you have no control over what is going on. Find organizational strategies that work for you: lists, calendars, planners, post-it notes.





Hope you keep up the good work!My grades are so bad...please give me advice?
This advice is for all: make time to study. If you haven't done this trick, then it could be the trick. Get a daily planner book. Write out the most important things first, then prioritize what time is made for study time for each subject. The classes that you want to work on should get top priority but not as much to have the other classes suffer.

39 weeks preg with bad back...please any advice???

i keep getting awfull lower back ache,not yet had any braxton hicks, or a show although alot of discharge and increased pelvic pressure and a week ago had really bad stomach cramps that lasted about 6hours but went and nothing since.


sometimes the back ache will wake me up in the night and no matter how i lie it still hurts,its mainly on one side and feels like knife going in my muscle,i dont think its contractions because it happens randomly but just curious as to wether its a sign things are moving along??


any help is appreciated thankyou.39 weeks preg with bad back...please any advice???
back ache is normal in late stages of pregnancy but in saying that All I had when I was in labour with my son was a constant back ache that would not leave me it would come in waves stronger then faint then strong again.





If your backache becomes constant go to the hospital.





I think things are moving along for you and you should be having your baby soon.





best of luck to you.39 weeks preg with bad back...please any advice???
For some women discharge starts ti increase as they are approaching the end of their pregnancy When I was expecting both my sons I had a lot of discharge throughout.


An increase and thickening in discharge towards the end of the pregnancy may be a sign that your approaching pregnancy. Yu can use pads to help it from staining your knickers.


As for the back pain you can buy pillows designed for pregnancy which you put between your legs.
see a physio and get some acupuncture - worked wonders for me during late pregnancy. Really, it made the difference between not being able to walk or sleep for the back ache and becoming something like a normal person.
Backaches are usually caused by the strain put on the back muscles, changing hormone levels, and changes in your posture.





Recommendations:


1. Wear low-heeled (but not flat) shoes.


2. Avoid lifting heavy objects.


3. Squat down with your knees bent when picking things up instead of bending down at the waist.


4. Don't stand on your feet for long periods. If you need to stand for long periods, place one foot on a stool or box for support.


5. Sit in a chair with good back support, or place a small pillow behind your lower back. Also place your feet on a footrest or stool.


6. Check that your bed is firm. If needed, put a board between the mattress and box spring.


7. Sleep on your left or right side with a pillow between your legs for support.


8. Apply a hot water bottle, heating pad on low setting, take a warm bath or shower, or try massage.


9. Perform exercises, as advised by your doctor, to make your back muscles stronger and help relieve the soreness.


10. Maintain good posture. Standing up straight will ease the strain on your back.





Contact your doctor if you have a low backache that goes around your stomach and does not go away within one hour after you change position or rest. This might be a sign of premature labor.
I think this is labour just a slow progression Go to the hospital as you may need a little help to get things moving.Try walking about as 39 weeks is classed as full term I was 38 weeks when I recently had my daughter 4.5 weeks ago.Best wishes
you could be in back labor... i would call your doctor or hospital and get checked. a lot of times you will just have severe lower backache and no contractions....





lacey
Your baby is growing and just has its weight on a nerve or two causing your back pain. It may also just be weight displacement with the baby; when lying on your side, throw a pillow between your legs to help alleviate pain in your spine.
Maternity pillows


backrubs


hot showers on back


hot bath


pain killers? (ones u can take)





Hope I helped. Good luck honey





Also, slow deep relaxed breathing might help move things along as your body relaxes

  • Adult advice please!:little white lie gone bad?

    Alright i am 19 yrs old and in college as a commuter so i am fairly responsible now.I pay for my books/nessaries and my parents pay for tuition as well as my car insurance ect.I went through a hard rocky time with my parents because they were so overly protective and strict never letting me do anything. I wanted to rebell in any way i could.Things are much better with my parents now but my last year of high school i did something stupid i wanted a credit card but since my parents said no .I choose to use my dads SS number to get one i started using it to buy whatever i wanted for compulsive emotional reasons.I finally have just about paid everything off.Do i tell my parents or just cancell the card?Adult advice please!:little white lie gone bad?
    Pay it off then tell them. It will show on his report and he may begin a fraud investigation that ends in your lap.





    This ain't a white lie in the eyes of the law; it's identity theft and credit card fraud.Adult advice please!:little white lie gone bad?
    You should tell them. That is the adult thing to do. They should be adults about it as well and see that you took care of it and it is all over. Just think about what will happen if they check their credit report and see you commited fraud.





    I wanted to add





    When I was a kid, my dad bought me a brand new stereo for Christmas. I knew it was expensive and I knew that I had to take care of it. My dad was not an easy going guy. One day in January, I was listening to a record(you may not know what that is hehe) and the dust cover to the stereo was on my bed. I was dancing around the room and plopped down on my bed. I broke the cover. I thought about hiding it from my dad but knew that he would find out one day and he would tear into me for lying and hiding things. So when he got home from work I handed him his belt. When he asked what it was for I told him what happened, through tears and a lump in my throat. He laughed at me, then he helped me fix it. That was it. Be an adult about it. Tell them.
    Yikes! Yeah pay it off. Cancel the card. If your real brave tell them in like 10 years.
    cancel the card then pay it off.





    don't tell them about it.





    never do this again.
    That is a hard one. Pay off the card and cancel it. That needs to be your first step. Is your relationship really strong now or just on the mend. If its just on the mend you may want to wait a bit before telling them this. I hope you were never late on the payments because that will affect his credit and he may find out.
    If you have the card still, the statement has to be going somewhere. Is it going to their house? If it is, then they already know about it.





    You should pay for the card completely and ASAP then tell your parents. Not a little white lie either, if they get really pissed, you need to suffer the consequences of this one.





    I can't believe you did that! Amazing? I thought I was bad in high school, guess I was a good kid.
    Finish paying off the card and cancel it if you can. Next tell your parents that you are really happy that your relationship with them is on the mend but you have one more thing that needs resolution. Then confess. It will be up to them to decide what they are going to do with the information you provide them.
    pay it off, cut it up, and save it to show them... and when you tell them be sure to say, your sorry, and should never had done it, and explain just what you did to us that you don't want to jeopardize your relationship with them but at the same time you feel the need to be honest with them and you did not want to keep this from them any longer because it was dishonest, and you want to put that type of behavior behind you. and if you want some points, when you say your sorry, tell them you feel bad, because they did not raise you to act like that. and why you did is still a mystery to even you. that helps them to eliminate the ';where did we go wrong'; feeling.





    and you need to tell them, if they do a credit report and report that that is not ther card,,, they will flag the card, and when you use it... you could go to jail. you are over 18.. and it is serious.
    Run the card through a shredder and pay the balance off. If your parents ask you about it if they find it on their credit report....tell them first that you are sorry, but you ran into some financial trouble and wanted to try and be responsible. You have paid the debt AND learned your lesson. You will understand if they are mad, but tell them again you are sorry. You might be surprised at how forgiving they will be OR they might ream you up one side and down the other. Either way....they will talk to you again....because they will always be your parents.
    If you were ever late on a payment, even just once, you have to tell them. It would have been reported to the credit agencies, and would be a bad mark on his credit.





    I would really suggest you tell them, tell them you are SO sorry,you realize how wrong what you did was, and then deal with whatever consequences there may be. What you did was not only wrong, it was illegal. Since it's your parents, and you've paid it off, it's not likely they'd turn you in, but they deserve to know they were victims of identity theft, and it should be you who tells them. If it were anyone else, you'd be in prison. I think you should take whatever punishment or anger that comes your way with grace.





    You need to rethink your definition of ';little white lie.'; This is NOT it. This is a long-term, illegal lie.
    If your dad ever checks his credit report. Your card will show up under his SSN.


    I'll tell you a little trick about coming clean about lies to your parents or anyone. You tell them that I need to tell you something, promise not to be mad. (And you make them promise). As humans, it's hard for us to be mad at someone after you've already promised not to be. And if they try to get mad, you remind them of the promise.


    However, since you've already paid the card off. Just tell your dad, and ask for his help in getting the card cancelled and out of his record. Parents really like it when they can still help their kids after they're grown up. It makes them feel needed and it gives them a piece of their little girl back again.


    Your relationship with your parents always gets better once you move out of the house and keeps on improving. You start to realize that they were right about somethings and they also start treating you more like an adult. You guys will laugh about this in the future.
    Pay it off


    Cancel the card


    Tell your parents


    Don't wait to do this
    Keep this to yourself (just hope your parents are not on YA). No need to retroactively worry your parents. If they do find out you can still tell them that this was case of temporary insanity and that you have paid everything off.
    You gotta tell them before they find out. Hey, YOU made the mistake and are now trying to avoid the consequences of your actions. Tell the truth, take your medicine and move on.





    Plus the tone of your first paragraph suggests that your fraudulent actions are your parents' fault. The sooner you take full responsibility for your adult behavior, the happier you'll be.





    BTW, this ain't no white lie. It's a felony. Be happy you're not spending time in jail.
    Your parents could charge you with credit card theft. Pay off the bill immediately before interest charges are laid. Major credit cards have average 18% interest charge per month. You need to get your own credit card, you are of age now. You may have to get secondary credit card, not a major credit card like Visa, Mastercard or American Express. You may be able to get a Store credit card. Don't screw up their credit rating. Find another outlet besides excessive spending. Do something that is positive, not negative towards yourself.





    Your parents may forgive you if they have an open heart and mind. I would tell them definately, they will respect you more if you did that, before the next statement comes out and then they won't be so shocked, and that you have made payments on it.

    I have really bad blackheads on my nose..any advice?.?

    yeah okay i use the wave and it helps pretty good like on my chin,cheeks,and forehead. but i have very bad blackheads on my nose.any help?I have really bad blackheads on my nose..any advice?.?
    biore nose strips and then after shave or alcohol, to close the pores, so they dont clogg agiain and use anticomedogenic make up onlyI have really bad blackheads on my nose..any advice?.?
    I would actually advise you to not use biore strips or any similar strips. The strips remove the superficial layer of both the skin and the blackheads. If you have oily or sensitive skin, this will really make matters worse. And I nkow this from personal experience. I've never used a comedone extractor but I have heard that it does help get rid of them. It basically will take away the sebum and dirt or whatever it is that is in the pores without ripping off skin.
    Biore' Deep Cleansing Pore Strips work WONDERS on me. I had about 60 blackheads on one side of my nose (no joke, there was literally around 60 blackheads) and using these strips got rid of all of them. They are awesome! When you peal the strip off your nose, you can see little columns of gunk that come out of the blackheads (which proves that they actually take the gunk out to keep them from reappearing). These are definitely the way to go to get rid of blackheads. Trust me, these are WONDERFUL!!
    those work to. I use clearisal ultra and it works. I also make sure i dont wear make up like any kind of foundation that can clog it really bad. the liquid is really bad
    I have heard a remedy as simple as toothpaste can work on blackheads. I did that myself when I was in high school years back, kind of worked then.
    omggg so do i!!!! i use the bior strips they work most of the time u have to to it like every day tho. but use clearasil or clean and clear wash aslo it works
    Do u have acne.


    If so, see yur doctor and get put on 'isotane'


    IT WORKS, gets rid off everything.


    But can be a dangerous drug sometimes.





    Just talk to the doctor(=
    buy a comedone extractor
    Biore pore strips! they're magic!
    Hi!





    Exfoliate totally TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!Dry coffee (ground) on moist skin, rub in gentle circles 30 seconds and rinse! Beware of messiness lol.





    Also try witch hazel as a toner/ facial astringent, cost around 2$ at the pharmacy, apply liberally to your face after washing and allow it to air dry. Witch hazel will normalize your skin and help it self-regulate.





    I actually found a natural 100% plant extracts facial oil that slows down your skins oil production, clears up pimples/ acne and dissolves black heads within 4-8 weeks I put all the info on my blog as it's quite detailed:





    http://beautymoi.blogspot.com





    I also put a full article of how to extract blackheads and steam your skin.





    Black heads are basically a hardened oil mixture that was secreted from your pores and oxidized (which makes the outside part black) and since water and oil don't mix, no water based product can ';clean'; your blackheads away, just try say putting certain foundations or makeups on the mirror and if you wipe it with water it smudges all over but put a little baby oil and wipe and tada! it comes off super clean AND dissolves it. So this is basically how this oil works. It's composition is such that the skin accepts it as a healing oil and it does not clog your skin but rather protects it while the plant extracts inside go down into the pores (this absorption is made possible by applying the toner to the skin before applying the oil and then applying the dabs of oil over your moistened face), it then penetrates into the pores.








    I put where to the name of the oil and prices in stores versus on eBay as well as how to apply it on my blog:








    http://beautymoi.blogspot.com





    Also be sure to check out all the links on my blog as they have lots of info!!!





    For acne you may want to look on Google for Drying Lotion by Mario Badescu.





    Take care and good luck!

    I am the bad tenant - need legal advice - added mental health issue?

    I have lived in a duplex for six years. For the first four years, everything was fine. I have been in treatment for severe depression/anxiety disorder since 2000. For the past two years, it has been getting worse and I am afraid that my house bore the brunt. I was completely unable to clean my house or take out trash for almost two years.





    Here is the current situation. I have stepped up my treatment, I have admitted to my therapist the situation, something I had been unable to do before. I was not evicted from my house and the rent is up to date but I am now living in a new house.





    The problem is, I cannot get everything out of the old house. It is trashed. There is no structural damage aside from a hole in one bedroom wall (drywall) which was a complete accident and will be simple to fix. There is trash everywhere. I have tried almost daily to get over there and clean it out. I have no local support system, no close family and even my church was unable to help, which really upset me. Because of my mental health issues, I cannot even walk in the front door of the old house without dissolving into tears.





    I have written a letter to my landlord which I will deliver along with the key this Saturday. I am taking full responsibility for the cleaning and repairs and am offering to set up a payment plan to repay them for any costs beyond the security deposit.





    I have my new landlord as well as a counselor coming over to make regular home visits to the new house to make sure this doesn't happen again. I am doing everything I can think of to make amends.





    I am scared that my old landlord will get really nasty over this, and while I wouldn't blame him if he did, I am hoping he will take my situation into consideration and let me make this right.





    I would love to hear from tenants and landlords alike on this subject as well as any advice from mental health professionals.





    What are my rights? What are my responsibilities?I am the bad tenant - need legal advice - added mental health issue?
    The main issue is that you didn't start planning for this inevitability several months ago. When you decided to move, you should have started calling house cleaners and getting quotes. To save money, you even could have posted an ad on a local campus somewhere to get cheap labor. I understand that your friends failed you, which only added to your depression, but there were other options.





    Now, it's 5 days before everything is supposed to be done, and you are on here. I understand depression and I understand that it's so hard just to get out of bed, much less deal with emotional issues, especially when they are your fault. It just becomes this awful cyclical torture. I'm depressed so I didn't take care of it. Because I didn't take care of it, I'm depressed.





    You are in the Real Estate section, so I will answer your question as a Landlord. If this were my property, because I understand depression somewhat, I would be hesitant to allow ';payments'; to be drawn out longer than 2 months because I know that while the person may mean to pay it off, another bout of depression hits and they disappear for 6 months.





    The other thing you need to consider is that if it's a management company, or anything that's any kind of formal business (Inc, LLC, etc), they are going to be far more likely to abide by your contract and the laws. Meaning they will give you a certain amount of days to pay for the damages and then may choose to take legal action.





    An independent landlord will be more likely to cut you slack, especially if you've had a good relationship with him in the past.





    Your responsibilities are to pay for the cleaning of the property in the time allotted by the landlord. Your rights are that if you do so, it will not affect your credit.I am the bad tenant - need legal advice - added mental health issue?
    you can pretty much kiss you security deposit goodbye - hopefully he won't come after you for any more money for ';cleaning';





    either that or hire someone to help you clean it out
    Well for that you should see http://biznuss.net


    i hope that resolve your problem keep using answers.yahoo.com
    Your responsibility will be to pay for the gutting and cleaning, replacement of carpet, and paint - or whatever it takes to restore the property to livable.





    If it is that upsetting for you to enter the duplex, and you can afford to pay soemone to do it, then by all means, do so. Maybe try googling ';cleaning crew'; and your city or something to see if there is a hirable service that can do this for you. OR - ask your landlord who he uses in situations like this, and then go do it yourself (cheaper that way).





    If he gets nasty, he gets nasty. You are doing the right thing, and that is above and beyond what a lot of people do these days.
    Of course he will keep your security deposit and charge you for the damages. If you cant pay him within a reasonable amount of time he will take you to court. It would be much easier if you hired someone to come in to clean before handing over the keys.
