How much should a student learn?

0dickshouse0 @0dickshouse0 (79) • Taiwan 15 Feb 13

I might say "as much as I could" when I was a student, and I really did so. I learned things from underground to outerspace, and I really enjoyed it. However, I am wondering whether it is right or not to force my younger...

pokumon I don't think the schools teach enough these days. I am upset that I never learned anything in history class about the Vietnam or future wars. It seemed like World War 2 was the last major event you learn in a U.S history class. I was just reading the...

Stuck in our comfort zones

Aja103654 @Aja103654 (5644) • Philippines 9 Feb 13

I had a talk with my boyfriend just awhile ago. He said that I should be independent and try to live on my own instead of staying with my parents and relying on them. Because I will never learn, unless I try and take courage...

pokumon His tactics seem to be counterintuitive. He wants to help but he just does not know how. I was and perhaps still am in a similar situation as your own. I however really did not want to move back in with my parents. After graduating from college I was...

newgirl0511 @newgirl0511 (166) 9 Feb 13

pokumon I think you did the right thing. He seems to only want one thing from you and that is to get you in bed. After he does succeed he probably won't show any more interest in you. If you don't feel the attraction he has for you reciprocated do not pursue a...

pokumon Yes I have as well. I recently forgot about 40 dollars in my drawer at my boyfriend's apartment. It is nice because I can use that money now and can delay going to the Atm. I once found 10 dollars inside my jacket. I had put it into my pocket and there was a...

Are you ready? Do you always have a pen and paper with you wherever you go?

chiyochan @chiyosan (30183) • Philippines 31 Jan 13

I do, i have a small notebook with me all the time (in my bag) and a pen (small one) becuase you will never know when you need to write something down. I find it rather convenient to have them with me all the time especially when...

Learning From Others

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3573) • United States 31 Jan 13

syoti20 @syoti20 (5292) • Philippines 7 Jan 13

pokumon I would only borrow this friend money if I count it as disposable income and do not expect to get it back. That said, 3000 dollars is well over what I would be comfortable parting with perhaps for forever. I have let one friend borrow just 20 dollars and I...

bunnystarr @bunnystarr (160) • Philippines 3 Jan 13

poppoppop111 @poppoppop111 (5731) • Canada 1 Jan 13

Im looking to kind of compare costs for music lessons. I am pricing out violin lessons for my daughter and where I live they want 25 dollars a half hour. That seems like a lot to me. What do other people pay for music lessons.
