Open Question: How do I talk to my dad when he won't listen?

I appreciate anyone who might be willing to give some insight; I will give an abbreviated version of my situation here and the back story below: My Dad has threatened to kick me out of the house if I take my sister out for her 17th birthday because he is afraid I will corrupt her. I have tried to talk to my dad before but he is currently on steroids for health problems and despite being a professor at the local university, will not listen to a word I have to say. How do I get him to listen to me as the 20 year old adult that I am? Sorry everyone, this will be a long back story, but I feel it is relevant: My life really started when I was 15. Up until that point I was raised in a religious household with very little wiggle room. The only reason to really leave the house was to go to school as I was rarely allowed friends. For reasons that are best called puberty, at 15 I started changing, rebelling and eventually I was brave enough to come out and tell my father that I had discovered that I never really identified with the religion I was raised with and thus was an atheist. Since then I have progressed in my own ways. I have met with like-minded people and even met a girl who has greatly helped me in developing the life I missed out on and who I have been with for four years (had I continued on my path I'm sure I wouldn't have even been talking to girls at this point). While my independent nature has led me to rebel against these things, I still live in my parent's house and therefore must abide by their rules. I am 20 now and I argue nearly every day. I would rather have a discussion than an argument but apparently this is simply not possible. My father's family has a history of heart conditions and has had to take medicine which in turn ate away at his liver, to fix his liver he has to take steroids which makes him irritable and irrational. My father is certainly capable of discussion: he has a PhD and teaches graduate level Strategic Management and Business Ethics. Still, he cannot seem to talk to me about the matter directly. He gets in moods where he will lash out with insults or yelling without actually thinking what he is saying. I have been able to put up with it for quite some time since they were at least able to put up with me and my beliefs. Yesterday was my sister's birthday. I wanted to take her out to dinner, the arcade and a movie, since she isn't allowed out of the house much. Every time I try and ask my Dad anything, his first (and usually last) response is to continually say "No, no, no" raising his voice until discussion stops. I have talked with my mother and father and it appears that they are afraid that I will corrupt my siblings since I have long since learned that all the evils of the world are not quite so evil as they are made out to be. I love my family and my father always was my role model for what it meant to be smart and ethical but I feel as if I am being separated from them without even being able to talk about why. Make no mistake; I am not some stupid kid. I graduated from high school with honors. I am working on a double major at the local university and have a high GPA. I have a job and a direction in life. What I aim for is to give my siblings the same chance that I have. They do not usually leave the house and they rarely are allowed to go places with me because I am a bad influence. In my opinion, they need to live life in order to have one. This means going outside, trying new things and thinking for themselves. For this point of view I have been demonized. I can see the argument that I live in their house and if I don't like it, I should leave. Call me obstinate but I believe that my family is a cause worth fighting for. I want to be able to talk with my father, have him see why his children need to be exposed to life as it is. In my mind, by keeping them away from the world, he thinks he will preserve their purity and they will therefore remain religiously correct, although I suspect the only reason they don't confront them as I did is that I share my Dad's hard-headed nature while they do not. I want and need to have a talk with my Dad, and I welcome it, what I'm looking for from everyone here is a way to fight for my family's right to have a life free of a patriarchal prison that hounds their steps. My parents come from differing backgrounds, one from a family of hippies living on a purple bus and the other from destitute poverty all the way to Professorship, and astonishingly were able to come together to marry and produce children. Still, they manage to share an eerie paranoia that prevents them from many of the finer things that life offers. Parents shouldn’t segregate their children and they certainly shouldn't mentally imprison them. This has done enough damage since, even though my brothers are older than I, they both have the mentality of a 16 year old, if that. I need advice that will help me fight for my fam more

Open Question: I want to add!! I got a puppy and he died in about 5 days, How do I know if parvo or worrms?

The repsonses I got was nasty, I had the puupy for about an week and yes I was very sad, the first day the puupy was scared I called my mom, I wasnt sure what was wrong with buddy. I know she herself is no vet but my first instinct was take him to the vet but my mom thought maybe she was a little sick from the heat... Then when he got no better and I called her she came and looked at his stool and I myself saw the white worm looking things in his stool. I gave him the medicine and he seemed to be doing better that day.. I should have called the vet yesterday, when he seemed to be getting back to the way he was.. I did not leave him out there to die, I sat out there and tried to bottle feed him water and even tried to feed him some chicken to get him to eat.. Then this morning when I went out to check on him, he was laying there almost lifeless and I called around to all the local vets, the one vet told me to give him a bath cuz of the flies and when I went back out in less then one hour he already had died... I am a single motehr with three children and I did not have the money tot ake him to the vet but I was going to use my rent money to take him because my kids were already attached and I was too. I admitt I dont know much about puppys but having to go through this I am well aware now. I just wish I knew what I know now and maybe buddy will be with us still. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DONT HAPPEN AGAIN... Did i give buddy all the attention maybe he needed, I am sorry I do work and go to school but we made sure he had water and food b4 we left in the morning and when we played with buddy. I also did not know you could not take them for walks, Just please does it sound like parvo or worms?? I do have three children and I am in no hurry to get another puppy but I would like to get another puppy for them and this time before I bring home I will make sure I take him/her to the vet!! I want to add, I am not 100 percent sure it the smell was out of normal, but if he died from worms, how long does it take for a puppy to die from worms, and how do i know if it was parvo or worms? We got a rot and german sheperd mix from my mom, I would say he was about 2-3 months old. The first day we got him he seemed fine and then the next day we were taking him for a walk and I oicked him up and watery diarehha came out. He still seemed fine and then the next day, when I got hime from work he was not very energetic and seemed sick, I thought maybe from the heat. I also noticed that he did not eat and barley drank his water. We moved his dog house near the shade and later that night he still would not eat. The next day my mom came over to look at him and she checked his poop and there were white stuff in it, my mom said he had worms so I bought some worm medicine and gave it to him that day.. About an hour later he was up playing and finally eating. Then the next day he seemed to be getting worse and then when i went out this Am to checkj on him he was laying there and flys on him. He was nearly dead, I came in the house to call vets and in about an hour he was finally dead. His back in was very thin, he was also vomiting and diarrha(water like).. I am wondering if it was worms or parvo and how do i know the difference? If it was parvo what do I need to do outside to be able to get another puppy.. My puppy had not had it shots yet and the people we got it from said at 6 weeks, they did worm him. more

Open Question: have my antidepressants worn off?

Open Question: Ivy League application?

I know that in order to get into an Ivy League, it helps a lot if you have demonstrated 2 or 3 of your passions throughout high school. My number one interest is medicine and second is clothing design... For medicine, I am joining a few medical clubs and volunteering at hospitals. For the second interest, I am wondering if it can even apply to this situation? For example, if I proved I have a talent for design by winning some type of contest, would Ivy League colleges even care? more

Open Question: I'm in search of a political party NOT (D) OR (R).?

THAT'S IT- I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING CALLED PREJUDICE BY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS FOR MY IMMIGRATION STANCE AND DISDAIN FOR SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. (i am native american) I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING CALLED A CRAZY LIBERAL BY NEOCON REPUBLICANS FOR MY STANCE ON THE LEGALIZATION OF PROSTITUTION AND POT. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES. I don't believe a person can be 100% conservative or liberal. IS THERE A THIRD PARTY OUT THERE FOR ME? YES I would like to conserve the environment but only to the point it interferes with economic growth and national security. I believe people should have the power make choices on their lives within their own states. Gay marriage doesn't effect my everyday life good or bad. Let them have it for all I care. Most things should be legal so it can be taxed and regulated, thereby creating jobs and keeping people safe. No business or special interest group should be able to make campaign contributions. Elections are for people representation only. All children should go to school year around. Drop outs go into the military automatically. I think you get the picture. I'm a B-hole right?BY THE WAY DUFUS I DO CONSIDER MYSELF INDEPENDENT. I WOULD ALSO VOTE FOR SOME (D) OR (R) IF I FELT LIKE I TRUSTED THEM BUT LATELY NOT HAPPENING. more

Open Question: I think I might be bipolar?

Okay, so, before school got out (yesterday) I would go to my therapist at my school every Tuesday. I would talk to her because I have a cutting problem, and I am suicidal weekly. There are several reasons why, like, for instance, my mother was hardly ever around when I was a child. She was always in bed, because she had really bad depression and schizophrenia. Her medicine would make her very tired, and so her boyfriend Michael always had to take care of me. When I was three, he threw away literally all of my toys because I didn't clean my room. It was awful. Another reason why I talk to her, is because about a year ago I was raped. Which could possibly mean I'm suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), but I don't know. My therapist wanted me to go to a doctor to see if I have depression, but I don't think that's my problem. I am always changing subjects, and my mood changes usually hourly. I am either really happy, depressed, lonely, or numb. It varies, or can be a combination of two, and without me knowing why I feel that way. For a while, I would cry at least every two days. I'm not as bad now. I would feel pain from past memories, past relationships, or just pain for no reason, and within an hour or two be completely fine again. Can someone please tell me what they think? I also might think I have OCD. I can't stand having hair fly-aways. I always pull them out. I can't stand it when someone constantly is making an annoying noise. A picture frame that is crooked must be fixed. Someone's voice when singing who's cracks only once in a song I will notice. Stuff like that. Anyone who can help me?Okay, so, my therapist wanted me to go to a doctor to see if I needed to go to a psychiatrist, who could tell me if there was something wrong with me. My parents have yet to make this appointment... But whatever. Oh, and the whole 'chronic blunt' thing. Aha. Um, I did in fact do marijuana for a while. With my mother. Yeah. I'm not aloud to see her any longer and live with my dad. My therapist isn't doing summers because she's pregnant.My mother also hurt herself. She tried killing herself with an overdose of Oxycotons (spelling? The pain medicine stuff). My parents are well aware of my hurting myself. The first time they found out was from me telling the school councilor. For about 3 months I had an art therapist. Then, two years later, which would be now, I heard about this therapist at my school. I started talking to her. She really helps. My parents are the ones who were looking for a therapist in the first place. They knew I was seeing her, and were paying for it. By the way, I am not a child. I would appreciate it if you would not treat me as one. I know that it's a selfish thought. Why do you think I'm still here? I couldn't kill myself. That's how my girlfriend lost her last boyfriend. more

Open Question: "I got rejected by all four of my med schools (2 after interviews)...?

i've now gone and applied for Biomed at Warwick...i think it may aid my understanding behind the science in medicine when I apply for Graduate entry. Some people that have been rejected from medicine are taking a gap year. I don't think taking a gap year will be the right choice for me personally...but then, I REALLY want to study medicine, and maybe this might show that I don't feel committed enough. Can anyone shed some light? more

Open Question: Whats up with my Allergies?

I was pretty good last wednesday. I take claratin every morning. But for some reason after school on thursday. I was hit pretty hard by my allergies. First I was coughing alot and spitting up muccus practically every minute. I was wondering if I was getting sick. I skipped school on Friday to go see a doctor to sort this stuff out. He checked me up and all that stuff. I asked him if I was sick like a cold but he said its allergies. I have lung allergies or something. I live in the valley of CA. so thats probably the reason why. I did get some medicine but not for allergies. Its for the cough its Iophen C NR. It has done away with the cough for the most part. I am waiting on a new allergy medicine. Our insurance wouldnt cover singulair. So I will be getting one on tuesday. At this point now I have seem to trade off coughing with mucus. To mostly a runny/stuffed nose. And I have sneezed a couple times today. Is this normal? Today so far I took my coughing meds, claratin, and some nasonex. What can I do to remedy this? more

Open Question: I'm in a Canadian high school grade 11, these are my marks- I want to go into medicine- which uni?

Hi, I'm a grade 11 student in a private high school in Ontario, Canada. My school put emphasizes a lot on academics and it's very difficult to get 90+ marks. This year, I somewhat slacked off but managed to obtain: 92% in Advanced Functions 12, 94% in Chemistry 11, 89% in Physics 11, 87% in Biology 11, 98% in Accounting 11, 86% in World History, and 91% in English and I estimate that my marks will stay the same with my finals. I really want to do well next year and I'll be studying super hard, I'm aiming for: 90% in Biology 12, 92% in Advanced Functions 12(I slacked this year), 90% in Physics 12, 95% in Chemistry 12, 92% in English 12, 99% in Accounting 12, and 95% in Calculus 12. I want to go into Health Sciences.. but I'm scared if the universities look at my grade 11 marks. What are the cutoffs for health sci at McGill, UFT, and McMaster? What other university is good for health sci in Ontario? Please help me!Same- English I've actually had to work super hard for this year, I'm the only one with an average in the 90s and accounting at my school is really easy so I'm definite about getting 99% in that- my cousin right now was 100% in that. more

Open Question: Need some help. Anyone?

I have been told that I have a type of "nervous disorder" (in my own words), with nervousness, panic attacks, the whole thing. Anyways, I just lost both my grandpas within a 5 month period, and I am still in a bit of shock. About 2 weeks ago or so, I started feeling sick (allergies), so I took some antihistamine. And since then, I have had like NO appetite. Just waking up, I feel full, and just thinking about food makes me want to throw up. And every couple of days or so, I start to have a panic attack, and my mind races, and I start remembering some bad things I’ve done in my past, as well as some other teenager stuff like drama, worrying about school, girls, etc... The 3 possible causes I have narrowed it down to are: - anxiety "disorder" - loosing my grandparents - the antihistamine (I've heard it may cause loss of appetite) I visited my doctor (whom I’ve known for a long time), and he said he would check up on me in a month. He said that this will pass, and he thinks that it is from loosing my grandparents, and my anxiety. Also, I have stopped taking the medicine about a week ago. Also, I am praying about it. It seems that I am only praying now when I need something. This loss of apatite thing is really starting to scare me. And I wish that God would just heal me, but I think He may be testing me or something. I don't know what's going on, and I just want to start eating again, because I have lost like 7 pounds. Is there anyone who can give me some friendly, professional, or religious advice? more

Open Question: Questions about medicine for a school project?

I'm a design student working on a school project, so I need some help answering these questions regarding senior citizens and medicine. I got some help from seniors in my country, so I thought I might as well ask people from as many different countries as possible! Thank you very much! Your help is very much appreciated! =) 1. How many different types of medicine do you take? 2. How often do you take any form of medication? 3. What are some of the problems you face when taking medicine? 4. What improvements do you think can be made to medicine packaging? 5. Any opinions, suggestions, etc. Once again, thank you for taking time to answer my question =) more

Open Question: I'm extremely sick, but I can't call out from work..?

I'm 17 and work at a grocery store as an after school job. I have a really weak immune system and get sick a LOT. I've talked with my doctors about all of this and we're working on ways to make it stronger. But this past week I have been very, very sick. I missed Wed, Thurs, and Friday of school. I've been extremely dizzy and lightheaded, vomiting, sneezing, coughing, and body aches. But I don't have a fever, which is kind of strange. I went to the doctors and they said it just sounds like some nasty virus that my body has to fight off. I've been taking medicine, drinking LOTS of water and gatorade, and resting a lot. But I still feel like crap. I had Wednesday and Thursday off from work anyways, but I had to call out sick yesterday. My boss is a huge b*tch, and literally all of the employees hate her. When I called out yesterday she basically accused me of lying. She does this whenever someone calls out, so I've learned to not take it personally. It's just really unnecessary. But I feel so sick that I still don't feel like I can go to work. I took a shower and walked around the house a bit, but now my head is pounding. And I almost started throwing up again. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. And working at a grocery store, I think it's really important to be healthy and not contaminate the food. But my boss doesn't really care about that, she just wants us there no matter what. I'm worried if I call out again, she will just fire me on the spot. And I don't know if I can find another job in this economy. People never call out two days in a row. And because it's memorial day weekend, a lot of the staff is away. So it would be nearly impossible to find someone to cover my 5 hour shift. Standing up and dealing with customers for 5 hours straight will certainly not help with the way I'm feeling. What should I do? more

Thanks for your time:) more

Open Question: After the fall of the Western Roman Empire..?

The west went into medical regression. Things got worse, public health declined, public bath houses weren't used, sewage systems collapsed, aquaducts weren't used. There was less stress put on exercise, Hygiene became worse and there weren't stable governments like that of Rome, education was also lost. All these things happened in the west after its collapse, but what happened in the Eastern Empire? It survived, therefore its medical knowledge must of, did it not improve over the coming centuries? To what extent was the Eastern Empire more advance in terms of medicine than that of the west? I'm asking these questions because i'm revising my medicine for my history exam, but i got wondering about the eastern empire and how it must of improved as it survived. I'm just curious, this isn't homework before anyone says that, i'm not even at school anymore, thus no more homework. more

Open Question: As a prosecuting lawyer, how can I prepare a rebuttal for a something a witness said that might hurt my side?

I am currently working on a mock trial for my school as a prosecuting attorney. In the trial, I am trying to convict a murderer. The man who was killed was often described as sketchy (with loads of tattoos) and abusive so I am therefore trying to improve his image. However, the defense has recorded a statement from the victim's ex girlfriend, saying that he was often aggressive from some medicine he was taking. The aggression might go against me and the defense might be able to say that their client was provoked. How can I prepare against that? more

Resolved Question: Sticky Wet Fingers joke?

First-year students at Med School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body." For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing,"! he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it. When everyone had finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.

Ok so since i was little i always wanted to be a doctor and everyone kept telling me i am the doctor type and my parents also wants me to be a doctor and i'd love to but math has never been my best subject and i was never ever good at it and i have only got A as a final grade for math is probably around 5 or 6 times and i always got Bs and mostly Cs for math..for my O/L exam i ended up with a C and my school is a highly competitive school where only the ones who get like A+ for all the 8 subjects they do do Maths and Science subjects for their Advance Level exam..i picked Economics, Logic and Business Studies for my Advance level exam hoping to do Law (i got 5A+s,a B+ and 2Cs)..after i gave up my idea to become a doctor i thought of doing law, i will be sitting for my AL exam this year and i'm quite sure of getting all Bs or a mixture of As and Bs for my subjects...in other countries like american, UK and Australia is it like a must to do science or maths to do medicine because in my country it is a must..when maths is not your strongest point do you think it is possible to do medicine? i don't have much time left to decide because law and medicine are at 2 extremes and i only have 2 months to make up my mind...pls help! because my parents will probably send me abroad to either one of those 3 countries for college because my dad's plan is to send me to UK to do law and i also heard that in the states Law and Medicine are mostly graduate subjects so can i do any degree like international relations and do medicine for my graduate degree?? i'm so confused xoxo more

Open Question: What to say to a mean girl to give her a taste of her own medicine?

There's this chick, she's like 18-19, I liked her a little in high school but that was then. We talked as friends for a bit then she totally became a mean girl. I don't know why, but I can see the dramatic change her attitude is so self centered and she changes her hair color like every other week... What can I say to her to give her a taste of her mean attitude and words she says to people? I really want to hit the spot on this one because this will be the last time I ever talk to her, she makes me think of a stuck-up, selfish, jealous... you know the rest. P.S to all the nice girls, I would never say this to any of you. more

Open Question: What's my problem now?

I'm so tired of feeling really depressed and anxious. I hate opening up so I avoided any help for a long time, but I didn't want it to interfere with my becoming a doctor (I had a breakdown from stress finally this past year in high school, and that wouldn't do for medical school I figured). This past year I've really tried. I never take medicine for anything, but I agreed to medicine (and I feel just as badly, I know you have to try different types, but I don't know anymore). My mom makes me see a therapist and it doesn't help any, because when I started trying to open up she didn't even listen. I'm just really tired, because I feel responsible for everyone and for everything. I feel like unless I stay up all night I have no time to myself, because during the day people need me (literally, they tell me they do all the time). I have a really hard time sleeping anyways and my family won't let me stay asleep when I finally go to bed, I mean I want to see them (I do see them all the time too) but I really need to sleep at some point as well. I'm tired of constantly wanting to return to my disordered eating too. I know I can't go back, but it's distressing all the same. I just don't want to feel this way anymore. I'm so selfish, I mean I should just deal with it (I don't spread it though, everyone asks me how I'm so happy all the time). Also, I know people recommend volunteering and praying, and I do both (I love them, it's just something else); I hope this doesn't sound mean, because I didn't intend for it to. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much!I'm really sorry! I sounds awful in this post. I didn't mean to come across like a mean person. I value being nice so much, I would never do something cruel. Thanks again! more

Open Question: Question about which chemistry course to take as a pre-req for medical school?

I'm considering going into medicine, which I understand has several specific pre-requisites. My college offers two different chemistry courses, but I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to take. They are: CHM 1025/1025L Introduction to Chemistry and Lab and CHM1045/1045L General College Chemistry I and Lab. Does it matter which one I take? more

Open Question: What has your experience been using Advair for your child's asthma?

My daughter has been seeing an allergy and asthma doctor for 6 weeks and her allergies that would cause her to wheeze had gotten better, at first. Then she started having a cough that wouldn't go away. She has seasonal allergies and wheezing and this year she has been going to her dads who lives in the country and every time she comes back she has allergy and asthma symptoms. I took her to her general doctor and he said she had pneumonia and gave her antibiotics and said she was ok to go to school. We went to see her allergy doc and I told him I stopped giving her the advair because she was coughing so much while using it. I got scolded for stopping and than he told me to keep giving it to her. Well I gave it to her for 4 or 5 days and she started having coughing fits where she couldn't breathe like her lungs would close up on her. So I stopped giving her the advair but kept giving her her allergy medicine and albuterol inhaler. We went to the allergy doc a third time 3 weeks later and he raised the dose on her advair even after I told him she would cough still. I gave it to her twice a day for 5 days and she has had 2 coughing fits in one day. I thought I was going to have to call 911 cause she couldn't breathe it was the worst one yet. I am through giving her advair! more

Resolved Question: Should I still try to obtain an MD degree?

Well, I'm a third year going to be a senior Human biology major at UCSD. My gpa is 3.25 at the moment with my science gpa slightly below that. I have one more year to go and hopefully i can raise it to a 3.4. However, I am deciding between becoming an optometrists or an MD. I feel that my chances of getting into medical school is very low and I really do like optometry and have shadowed several optometrists. However, I am also very interested in medicine. I am left wondering whether or not I should pursue medicine even though my chances are so slim. I have done alot of volunteering, health club participation, and research assisting. However I don't want to be one of those medical students who don't get accepted till they are like 26. Are there any doctors out there who have had a similar experience and would like to share their stories and whether they feel like they made the right decision? also what are my options? thanks. =D more

Open Question: I have a coughing problem. Can you please help me?

Ok so I have been having this problem for quite some time. Pretty much all school year. So heres the deal. Every morning and towards the night I cough. I usually spit up some mucus. I take allergy medicine in the morning by the way. Its supposed to be 24 hours. Its pretty bothersome. Sometimes it causes me to throw up in the mornings from coughing too much. The thing that I dont get is that I cough a crap load before I get to school. Then once I get there it stops for the most part. Same when I go out. I dont know if its a mental thing. Being that I am comfortable at my house to cough as much as I want. Or if just have really bad house allergys. I found out that I am alergic to every tree on some test that I took too. Yet when I go to WA. Over summer where we have dozens of trees in our backyard I am fine and dont even need medicine. I live in the Valley of CA. which is pretty known for crappy air quality too. I usually put up with it. But being that you know all that swine flu crap is going around. I am getting paranoid about it lol. I know the chances are low of me catching it right now but still. I am coughing pretty bad today and I even threw up. How long do you think I should wait until I see a doctor? Do you know whats up with me?the thing is that I dont feel drained at all. I feel fine its just that cough. But I have noticed my classmates have been iffy lately. more

Resolved Question: Is Pomona College a good choice for me?

I'm currently a Junior in HS and have been exploring different options for further education. So far, one of my favorites (based on courses offered, location, class size, SAT scores, success of graduates, etc) is Pomona College, one of the Claremont colleges near L.A. My only problem is that I'm undecided on my major. My strongest subjects are writing and mathematics, but I can't rule science out yet. I know that most Liberal Arts colleges focus primarily on the arts, languages, philosophy.. subjects like that. My question (finally!): If I have a change of heart and want to study engineering or medicine, would it be necessary for me to change schools? Should I attend a more well-rounded, public school? It'd be especially nice if someone familiar with Pomona could explain the math and science options to me - the websites I found were really vague. more

Resolved Question: dealing with my 6 year old daughter...?

I have a problem and am just looking for some advice or suggestions. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD about 2 years ago. I dont believe in medicine so we tried everything to prevent it. Herbal supplements, dance classes, counciling, expressive art classes....prayer..lots of it!! Nothing seemed to work and in kindergarted she was almost kicked out of school. She had a bad habbit of taking things that didnt belong to her and getting caught!! after a few times, I had had it!! I took her to the local police station and had an officer explain to her what happens to people who steal. That frightened her a little. But not sooner than I could blink she was back at it again. Finally I decided to try a medicine. I was afraid to see my daughter sitting day in and day out like a zombie, I didnt want to alter my little girl. We did lots of research with her Dr. and found a great medicine called Strettara. It isnt a stimulant so it wouldnt effect her in that sence and it isnt habbit forming and is also non-narcotic with very little side affects. Well we started her on it about a year ago, beggining of 1st grade when her teacher said she was having a hard time. Well about a month after she started, she was a new girl. She was happy and smiled more and stopped stealing. She was doing great in school and her teacher said she had made such an improvement. She had stomach aches for a while so I would send her with a morning snack and that would do the trick. Well the problem is that that her behaivior at home is sooo different than at school. At first she was doing great at home and that didnt last long. She is doing wonderful in school and excels in just about every area. She is respectful of her peers and teacher and is an absolute pleasure to have in class. When she comes home its a different story and the part that I am having a hard time dealing with is that it is hard to praise her for her accomplishments at school b/c every other second she is getting in trouble at home. For instance, today she came home on her last day with a great report card so we of corse, praised her, called all the family, hung up her report card...etc. Not even 10 minutes later she is being bad. I tried explaining to her that its hard to give her the positive attention for the good things she is doing when she is not making good choices at home. I asked her why she is good at school and not home and she said its because her teacher is nice to her. I know she doesnt have the wisdom to understand why we can sometimes seem cruel and I dont want to confuse her by explaining every detail but I try to make her understand that if she is good at home she will get the same good attention here that she does at school. I just feel like I have completely lost her respect b/c of decipline we are constantly getting after her. Any ideas on how I can handle this? it really is very tough. I dont want her to feel unworthy all the time but I cannot let her get away with her behaivior!! any positive feedback is welcomed......please save your criticism for someone else!! thank you guysThank you for all the feedback. I really appriciate it. Nikki, we tried the fengold diet and it just didnt work but we do eat very healthy otherwise. No soda, junk, candy. Treats are given on occasion but goos treats. Thankfully both my kids love fruit and veggies!! Im goint to try the charting again and make it funner this time. Its just with her, she doesnt every respond to any discipline...she doesnt care if I take things away, make her go to bed early...etc! its like nothing has an affect. Its hard for me to be consistant with one thing when I havent found it yet! hopefully I am dealing with it now and it will go away by the time she is a teenager or we are in trouble. Thanks again!!KICKARSE-go to hell or better yet, go finish your education you inexperienced juvinille. Why dont I take you over my lap fool?!? and then dope you up on narchotics.... you see I prefere the RIGHT way to raising my children, not the half fast, im too lazy to be a good parent way but thank you for your very undesirable response!! more

Open Question: Portosystemic Shunt in a puppy, help!?

Maybe you guys can help. My veterinary has done everything she could possibly think of to help my puppy but it is still having the occasional seizure. We have changed its diet, given it all the medicines we were supposed to and after every meal we give him lactulose. I will be going to veterinary school starting this fall but I feel so helpless. My veterinarian is ( I hate to say it) but kind of old and I was hoping some new research has gone on about liver shunts. He is a small breed dog ( toy poodle and pom) about 8 months old and surgery is not an option because we live in Hawaii and no vet here will do it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. more

Hello there. I plan on going to these 3 types of Institutions/Schools. I'm concerned as to which one I should do: first, second, and third.

Well I want to go to medical school and get my Doctorates in Medicine (M.D.), and I also want to get a degree in Law, and a degree in Business.

Open Question: Why do westerners get all the credit and Indians don't?

The facts below were recently published in one of the German magazines which deals with World History: India never invaded any country in her last 10,000 years of history. India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta. The World's first university was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century CE was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education. Sanskrit is the mother of all higher languages. Sanskrit is the most precise and therefore suitable language for the computer software - a report in Forbes magazine, July 1987. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Ayurveda is fast regaining its rightful place in our civilization. It is the only system which takes the holistic view of the person being treated. Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, India was the richest country on earth until the time the British invaded and plundered India in the early 17th Century. Christopher Columbus was attracted by her wealth and was looking for a route to India when he discovered the American continent by mistake. The art of Navigation was born in the river Sindh 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit 'Nou'. Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart. Time taken by earth to orbit the sun: (5th century) 365.258756484 days. The value of 'pi' was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematicians. Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were propounded by Sridharacharya in the 11th century. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 10**53(10 to the power of 53) with specific names as early as 5000 BCE during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera: 10**12(10 to the power of 12). According to the Gemological Institute of America, up until 1896,India was the only source for diamonds to the world. USA based IEEE has proved what has been a century old suspicion in the world's scientific community that the pioneer of wireless communication was Prof. Jagdeesh Bose and not Marconi. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra. accorrding to Saka King Rudradaman I of 150 CE a beautiful lake aptly called 'Sudarshana' was constructed on the hills of Raivataka during Chandragupta Maurya's time. Chess (Shataranja or AshtaPada) was invented in India. Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, cataract, artificial limbs, fractures, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical equipments were used. Deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism, genetics and immunity is also found in many texts. When many cultures were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan civilization in the Sindhu Valley( also known as the Indus Valley Civilization). The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC. Quotes about India Albert Einstein said: We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Mark Twain said: India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only. French scholar Romain Rolland said: If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.I am an american and I sometimes think why true people never get praise or glory more

Open Question: Drama at oxford or RADA?
