Shebang I beg to disagree. hahaha (^_^) Being single, since birth at that, does not make someone incomplete. I am 26 and did not have any sort of romantic relationship since birth but I feel so complete and loved. Besides, it's a matter of choice. To be in a...

Any ideas on how to get my son organized?

jacobsguardian @jacobsguardian (108) • United States 7 Oct 09

I'm having problems with my oldest son. I've gotten a couple of letters home from his teacher already, and there's only been 6 weeks of school. She says he's gifted, but he isn't turning his homework in even though he does it....

8 responses

Shebang Base on your story, I think you're son is not just being disorganized. I think there is just something wrong with him. He does his homework right, but he's not just turning it in. He tells his teacher that he did not do his homework, but actually he does...

Shebang When my mind is so preoccupied and I want to just think of nothing, I listen to music so that it blocks any thoughts that come into my mind. That's how music works on me.

Shebang I think blaming should be the last thing to be done in situations like these. To blame is irresponsible and self-centered. Hence, let's move forward. And right, if its inevitable to blame, the blame should be on us.

Shebang Why? What are the "efforts" you have been doing that made you say "it's not working out"? We have the tendency to think that we did our best, but in reality we did not. Besides, learning a language is not as easy as ABC. I think you should focus with one...

Shebang Of course not. It isn't painful. It is not surgical. The procedure is under 10-15 minutes. I haven't seen the tool but it feels like a brush. So it's just like brushing your face. It's really good for the skin. You should try it.

I have always wanted to become a good writer. I read a lot of novels, I keep a journal, I join discussion boards, I write on our school paper, etc. but still I don't think I'm already a good writer. :-(

Shebang It's good to set high expectations on oneself but to be perfectionist is a different story. If you want to know if you are a good writer, you can ask someone from the faculty in your school to read your articles and ask their opinion. If not maybe you can ask...
