Open Question: How do I transfer 3 months before school is out?
I can't stand my school. I've bene begging my parents since the end of my jr year last year to let me transfer because there is nothing but drama and I arrive home at least twice a month crying because my friends are super bitchy backstabbers. I can't make new friends at my school because they think bad t hings about me based on what they heard freshman and sophomore year which was untrue to start with. I tried transferring before but the counselor didnt' want me 2 since school is over soon. I thought talking 2 my mom about a certain problem a few months ago would make things better but things have gotten way worse because more, worse problems have sprung up and I'm to the point where I'm thinking of having a 4 per. day to not deal with anyone at lunch. I have a 5 per. day now because I dropped tennis when season was over and also cuz I don't want to deal with them leaving me out. My former bff left me for a more popular pal of ours and she seems to think she has the right to boss me around.

Open Question: My 11 month old pitbull puppy wont stop eating everything in the house?
How do I receive my 11 month old Pitbull puppy to understand that he can't chew things in the home. I know that daily excersize is the obvious answer and he gets it. He just doesnt seem to cease. He wont dare do it if my boyfriend and I are watching him, but the second we leave, weather he is in his box or out of his box. He finds something to destroy. In the morning we wake up to chewwed things. So far he has gone through 3 pairs of my high heals 1 pair of tennis shoes 3 five by five inch holes in the carpet an entire area of carpet close the bathroom bras 2 belts a vynel binder his leather LEASH kitchen trash the bathroom trash the corner of my bedroom comforter the bottom part of the side of the wicker sofa the plastic bottom liner to his box the corner of a door and every single one of his toys has been shredded to pieces Please somebody help me with a solution because I am at my wits end and I just walked in the door to find that he chewwed my boyfriends nike shocks. I left him in his box while i worked today and he chewwed the carpet underneath it, so when i went to the store that is LITERALLY a block from my home for milk I decided to leave him out, after every he was sleeping on the sofa. And again came home to my boyfriends shoe in the middle of hte floor shredded. I dont want obvious answers like, put your shoes up or dont leave things out because this problem stems much deeper than that. I cant take hiding everything. Like I said he wont do it when we are around so how do you correct a problem that your not there to witness. He knows he is in the wrong because every single time I find something chewwed up, every i have to do is look at him and he cowers(hes never been physically hit for any of this) so he knows he is in the wrong.

Open Question: How do you become a US citizen?
My pal just turned 18, and is supposed to receive deported in july. She is getting deported with out her family, which consists of mom and dad, a brother, and a few sisters. But she is the only one getting deported without her family. None of them are legally here she says. I am trying to search up ways like the naturalization test or what ever to help her out. I know she can be married and become a citizen, but is there any other way? Her parents do possess a home here, so doesnt that make them permanent residents? I am confused about the rules/laws about this stuff and need some help. Its so unhappy, she is ranked 2 on the tennis team, and has an extremely high gpa. I dont understand why people receive deported in the first place?! Could someone please help me understand, or help her? What does she need to receive a green card? Or to take the naturalization test? Does she need to have a greencard to take the naturalization test? I dont understand at every. Thank you pianojangee. As for you others, close the fuck up and grow up why dont you? This country was created from immigration, its people like you that make me frown on society.

Open Question: Another young American girl is on the rise...?
Melanie Oudin, who? Well there is a new teen sensation on the rise in tennis..it's Sloane Stephens! She just got through the Indian Wells qualifiers..If you don't know about her, here's a link.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloane_Stephens So unfortunately her dad recently died in September. I'm thinking she's using her pain, as inspiration to do her best. I haven't seen her play, but she seems good. America has a good future in women's tennis, what with Melanie Oudin, Christina McHale (who also made it through qallies), Coco Vandeweghe, Madison Keys, and even Vania King, it looks like we're in capable hands..Also yell out to Michelle Larcher de Brito who ALSO made it into the main draw of Indian Wells.. What do you think?

Open Question: Can an opponent threaten us before she hits the ball?
So my partner had the serve (I was at the net) and right after she served it, the ball bounced in and my opponent headed towards it to return. But right before she was about to hit it, she shouted out, "If you want to play the game this way, then---" And the slam it back to me. I was at the net and surprisingly distracted at her words, so we lost the point. Is this considered a hindrance? Or was it just my fault? They were also talking during the other points, some had no relation to tennis whatsoever. Thanks!

Open Question: How can I pay for Stanford?
Hi there! I have a question concerning how I might be able to afford the college of my dreams -- Stanford. As it stands, I am a junior in a relatively high-achieving public high school in the southern United States who is from a fairly well-to-do family who, because of the economy another sibling who will be going to college one year before me, will not be able to cover the costs of the school without some form of financial aid and/or scholarships. Here is a little about myself (forgive the self-salesmanship -- I'm practicing for college!): -I am interested in going into the medical field, particularly in the area of neurology. -Currently, my GPA is a 4.0 with three AP classes and two pre-AP classes). -My highest score is 2210 on the SAT (760 Reading, 700 Math, 750 Writing + 10 on the essay). -I am currently doing biomedical research at a research middle alongside graduates and post-docs. -I am also currently taking part in a hospital education group at a nearby hospital that shows the inner workings of the facility and teaches procedure. -I volunteer with community organizations such as Meals on Wheels and another one that helps women receive out of the prostitution business. -I am in National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Green Club, marching band, tennis, academic decathlon, and Mensa. While I am truly hoping that the over makes me entry-level Stanford material, I have rather big doubts that the over would qualify me for anything close to a full ride. Strictly speaking, the unmitigated cost of four years at Stanford undergraduate school is around $210,000 at about $52,000 a year. Moreover, this price goes up a few thousand dollars every year. As I said earlier, without something to pay, at least partially, for college, I will not be able to attend Stanford. Furthermore, I don't think that my family qualifies for financial aid because we are approximately in the top two or three percent in terms of salary in America. While that may seem like a lot (and for normal purposes, it is), it does not arrive close to what we would need to pay for my college education, let alone that of my brother's who is going at the same time I am. This is compounded by the bad economy, which has significantly reduced the amount of money we are making annually. So I am feeling a little up a creek here, my dear reader. My dream college seems to sit just a few months away from me, but I fear that, even if I did receive accepted there, I would not be able to afford it. If you have any experience or advice in this area or have been through a similar dilemma yourself, please do take a few minutes to share it with me. I would be so very grateful for anything helpful you have to say! Thanks for reading!

Open Question: Do Nintendo's Wii games require skill to play or the animations are just a programmer's gimmick at Random?
Nintendo's Wii games are now a days very popular, because the players receive excited while playing. The wireless remote is so sensitive that any little movement is recognised by the Wii console and you receive immediate various animations on the T.V.Screen. But, according to my experience, the animations are just programmed at random and no talent is required to play the games, to score more or play better than others. For ex: In Base ball game, one can receive Home Run, without any effort.. , since the remote's movement will result in hapahazard/random selection of......Single, Double, Fault, Home Run, etc, on the screen. Another ex: In Tennis, if one hits very difficult also, some times, it will be ....Out Or it will be Ace Or it will be a good point. If some one can prove me wrong, then please let me know, how to acquire talent to receive very good scores in each game, to beat every other opponent always. Thanks. V.R.Rao.

Resolved Question: I can't stand people who play golf or tennis more than once a year. I have a neighbor who golfs weekly and?
he's the most obnoxious snob I've ever seen. He's a tall, bulky Scandinavian type and like most tall people a bully. I've never seen a golfer or tennis player who even new what humor was, let alone had a sense of humor. You really have to be dense to consider chasing a ball around a tiny court or on a golf cart a sport. And listening to women golfers talk is a good time for earplugs or an Ipod so you don't hear them. Bike riding is more of a sport than golf or tennis because at least it challenges your endurance. Opinions on obnoxious golf and tennis cyborgs? Hitting golf balls on a driving range is the furtht I ever want to go with golf. You have to be crazy to play it due to the insane cost of a round of golf alone. At least tennis is free, but tennis players are much too fanatical to not treat them like lemmings. Correction: Hitting golf balls on a driving range is the furthest I ever want to go with golf.

I've had them for a week or two, mainly in my left leg. I got new supportive tennis shoes, I haven't been sprinting, and I've been icing after practice and sometimes before.

However sometimes, they hurt just from walking and my legs start to ache and throb so bad, I have to sit down. I would like to fix these as quick as possible so I can start playing lacrosse again.
