GOOD LUCK

Your bf wears a tennis skirt and walk around town if he loses, u wear a moustach around town if you lose

1. Make him go buy some tampons for you at the grocery store. No other items, just the tampons. If you lose, then you have to buy a big box of condoms.
2. Make him serenade you in a bar or restaurant.
3. Make him buy you flowers once a week for the next month.
4. Make him cook you dinner wearing an apron and a pair of boxer shorts or thong.
5. Invite your friends over during the Super Bowl or some other big sporting event and watch romantic comedies.

The loser has to wear a dress for a day.

history

i used to win alot of money at gambling. i had a 90% success rate. i was betting on ternnis matches and football matches, and snooner matches, darts matches, nfl matches etc

in my first year i got £50K off a local bookies office (through a series of bets) caledl stanley racing

i eventually goit all the way up to £150K at the height of 6 years work

my best bet was on the NEpats to win the superbowl (at the start of the season put £2400 on them in differn t bet shops) and eventually won £29,400 however during that season it looked unlikely that they would win as they were up and down and i got really nervous and made a covennet with GOD that i would not make any more bets if he would allow me to collect this final one.

I developed a bit of a fascination with antique comic and bought alot of them the trouble was i got greedy and wanted to pay for them with winnings and keep the funds i had already gained, this led to a great downful & through temptation i broke my covenant whihc was a great mistake and kept breaking it and eventually lost all it all. (biggest lost at any one time was £7500 on a tennis match)

i was obvisouly never belssed again after mistaknely making the pact (and hopefully this will be my onyl pusnishment in times to come)

and now to top it all off there is a mega recession, and findign it hard to cut ties with gambling

any advices? or tips

If you must to gamble, best tip is to when you are winning go away, and when you are losing go away too. Key is not to deep envolve or you will be losing all your money. Don’t ever try to win back your money!

my tip would be to study the subjects of gambling and probability. May i suggest
” winning with probability” by john huagh.
” the difinitive guide to betting on sports by bruce millington.
and ” the mammoth book of casino games” by paul mendelsson.

basically only 2% of sports bettors are profitable.
only 5% of poker players are profitable (thats what i gamble at).

from what i have read/learned/experienced, poker is the only thing worth risking money on, if you have dillegently studied the game and are playing people who have not. And even then you can get unlucky.

Use freemockbets.com

you bet on sports with fake money. you still get the thrill of victory, but dont lose or win any money.

Anyone suggesting ANY form of gambling to you is an idiot.

You got caught up in gambling, and you won so much money that you fooled yourself into believing that you actually knew what you were doing.

NOBODY gets 90%. Nobody. If you WERE hitting at 90%, it wasn’t because you knew what you were doing, and it wasn’t because of divine intervention. You were CRAZY LUCKY! That’s it.

It was inevitable that you’d eventually gamble enough to lose it all. That sort of easy money is too difficult for almost everyone to resist. In the end, you get exactly what you were supposed to get. It’s just too bad you are convinced that it has anything to do with any deal with God. It has to do with the fact that you are not any better at predicting sports than any other person. The more you gamble in your life, the more you will lose. You can go to church 7 days a week and that’s not going to change anything.

If you get passed the false notion that you were ever “blessed”, maybe you can get some REAL help for your REAL gambling problem. Just think about it – Do you really think God is going around blessing people so they can win money through gambling??? The very thought of that is nothing short of ridiculous.

You are addicted to gambling. Anything short of finding REAL solutions for that is a waste of your time and effort.

Ok last time I did this (for Ana) I only got like 3 or 4 answers (with about 8 stars – idk how) – I’m guessing it was because my formatting made it awkward to answer. If I don’t get many answers for this one I’ll get the message

I’m going to ask for information on Sharapova and you give the answers. This is to get a pretty good description of her game style, strengths, weaknesses etc.

When I ask for rating out of 100, 100 is the highest/best rating.

Ok so let’s do this!

Favourite surface:
Worst surface:
Strongest aspect(s) of game:
Weakest aspect(s) of game:
Toughest (or most feared) opponent:
Strength of character (out of 100):

BQ: Should I ask any more of these?
BQ2: Why did I bet on Bartoli to win the French Open?
BQ3a: Which tennis crowd is the best?
BQ3b: Which tennis crowd is the worst?
I can’t take the bet back (that’s not really how it works lol). I bet on Marion, Aga and Vika to win the French way back mid-Aussie Open time. If Vika wins I only get my money back. They’ve all been quite poor on the clay though.
Congrats on your 900th answer. I’ve got to answer 32 more to get there. I’ll race you to 1000! Difference between you and me is you have about 500 BAs lol. That’s mental.

Favourite surface:———Grass still probably is.
Worst surface:———-Clay, even tho its been good to her of late
Strongest aspect(s) of game:Mentality
Weakest aspect(s) of game:——-Mentality also. sometimes she’s too brave and refuses to play percentages
Toughest (or most feared) opponent: ———- I think Serena
Strength of character (out of 100):————95
Consistency rating (out of 100):———-96
Skill rating (out of 100): —————-91
Movement rating (out of 100):————60. cause she seems to struggle when she’s forced to net
Baseline rating (out of 100):———97
Net rating (out of 100):————70, but could be worse
Defense rating (out of 100):———-80
Attack rating (out of 100):———–98
Overall game rating (out of 100):——–93
Sportsmanship rating (out of 100):——-90. She seems fair
Personality rating (out of 100):——idk. so i’ll say 85
Injury proneness (out of 100):———65
% Chance of winning the French Open:——-22%
Highest possible future ranking:—— #1 if she can win RG or Wimby

BQ: Sure. I like them
BQ2: ? why would u do that? can u take it back?
BQ3a: Maybe the US crowd, cause it’s the craziest as far as tennis
BQ3b: French at RG. and sometimes English. (no offense)

Well, I’ve never watched a full Maria match, or more than 15min of it, so I can’t really tell. Sorry

BQ: Sure
BQ2: Because it’s exciting !!
BQ3a: ummmm, The AO;s, or Wimbledon’s i guess.
BQ3b: The FO’s on the kids field trips day, when they get all of those kids to attend the matches, Oh dear….

As long as she wears those skimpy tennis outfits, I do not care about the rankings.

Well since Masha is my lovely inspirational idol, my the ratings will be very high . But i know lots bout her cuz I try to watch as many of her matches as possible.

Favourite surface: Grass. Shes very offensive so she since grass is so fast, she only needs to hit one shot and shes won the point versues having to hit multiple winners in a row to get a point on other surfaces.
Worst surface: In previous years, shes really struggled on clay, but recently she has immensly improved her game on clay. I’d still say clay now, but that will possibly change in the near future
Strongest aspect(s) of game: Mental toughness, backhand. Many times shes gotten through her matches mentally, which is why her 3 set record is so great.
Weakest aspect(s) of game: Either movement or net play, but again, both of these have improved so much over the past year. I’d probably say net play cuz her movement has REALLY improved, i was shocked at the number balls she could get to in Stuttgart espcially.
Toughest (or most feared) opponent: At the moment, I think Serena. I would’ve said Azarenka if not for that Stuttgaert final. Its a mental thing for her, since she hasnt beaten Serena since 2004, shes not very confident when playing her.
Strength of character (out of 100):100, of course I’d say that . very good person.
Consistency rating (out of 100): 80. Shes not totally consistant. It seems to me that her game gets worse and worse as a tournament progresses.
Skill rating (out of 100): 95. Her skill is very good.
Movement rating (out of 100):89, its improved so much, as i said before, and her long legs help with that
Baseline rating (out of 100): 97- shes mostly a power player, can hit clean solid winners from the baseline
Net rating (out of 100):80, shes getting there, but her volleys arent the greatest.
Defense rating (out of 100): 92. not a bad defender, the improved movement really helps, and she absorb her speed of opponents ball well too.
Attack rating (out of 100):100- great offensive player, goes directly ofr the attack. Backhand espeically impressive, as well as return game.
Overall game rating (out of 100):97- overall shes a great player.
Sportsmanship rating (out of 100): 100- shes never insults her opponents or anything, shes mostly in her own little bubble lol.
Personality rating (out of 100):100. Shes funny, nice, humble, positive, and doesnt get pissed easily. I’ve never heard her insult anyone else or seen her break a racket, and shes so strong mentally to come back from that horrible injury, very inspirational. all her interviews are so upbeat and she always thinks about the brighter side, even when she loses. My favorite quote from her is : “tough situations dont last but tough people do”.
Injury proneness (out of 100):85. only cuz of that shoulder injury.
% Chance of winning the French Open: I’d say Maria gets 25%. VIka gets 28%, Petra gets 18%, Serena, Sam and Aga each get 8%, and everyone else is in the 5% lol.
Highest possible future ranking: #1 defaintely. wouldnt be surprised if it happened before the US Open.

BQ: Sure, but Im only answering the one about Maria, cuz its the only info i know by heart sorry
BQ2: Because shes and up and coming player and almost beat Azarenka twice?
BQ3: US OPEN!!!! CUZ IM ALWAYS A PAR TOF IT LOL
BQ4: There is no worst crowd

900th Answer <——- Only a 100 more til 1000!

Can't believe I missed Ana's profile D:

Favourite surface: Grass probably, she always mentioned how grass is special.
Worst surface: Considering her career in general it's clay, but since her comeback she's been excellent on clay and not so great on US Hard courts.
Strongest aspect(s) of game: Mentality & BH. When her mind is in the right frame like for example in Stuttgart she can produce unbeatable tennis. Her backhand is her best shot, it's so clean and powerful.
Weakest aspect(s) of game: Again, mentality. Sometimes she has horrid days when her head is off and she sprays DFs all over and on those days she can lose to anyone.
Toughest (or most feared) opponent: Serena of course
Strength of character (out of 100): 95, because she is one of the biggest fights in the game.
Consistency rating (out of 100): 95, she is one of the most consistent players on tour, just behind Azarenka. Apart from her injury years, she's always been consistent in terms of results. Game wise she has also improved her consistency(although she has some blockages from time to time)
Skill rating (out of 100): 90, she's not the best athlete, but she is a 3 time GS champion and it takes a lot of skill to win a Slam(well it did in the years in which she won). Nowadays anyone can grab one! Lol.
Movement rating (out of 100): 70, this is probably her biggest physical weakness. She's slow as hell, but she tries.
Baseline rating (out of 100): 95, she's extremely tough from the baseline.
Net rating (out of 100): 75, she's not the biggest fan of volleys, somehow she always looks clumsy when she does them, but she does have touch in some delicate situations.
Defense rating (out of 100): 85, that are has improved a lot. She's a great defender despite being so slow, mostly due to her fighting abilities.
Attack rating (out of 100): 98, she's one of the most aggressive players on Tour.
Overall game rating (out of 100): 92, her game is too mechanical in a way, but it's not one-dimensional as people say. She has a nice motion and with some liabilities and flaws, her game is mostly based on good groundstrokes and power-play so I like it.
Sportsmanship rating (out of 100): 92, She's pretty fair and she doesn't ever argue with anyone. I gave her 92 because of the loud "Come Ons" and grunting.
Personality rating (out of 100): 85, she's dorky and sometimes cute, but it really looks like she doesn't give a cr@p about the WTA or anyone in it, which makes her kinda stuck up to be honest.
Injury proneness (out of 100): 65, she gets an injury every year and while it seems normal to get at least one a year, hers are usually bigger.
% Chance of winning the French Open: 20, she is one of the main contenders.
Highest possible future ranking: #1 if she wins a Slam.

BQ: Should I ask any more of these? Definitely! Do one for Serena please!
BQ2: Why did I bet on Bartoli to win the French Open? You did WHAT?
BQ3a: Which tennis crowd is the best? Aussie crowd is amazing, best crowd in the world.
BQ3b: Which tennis crowd is the worst? French crowd, so loud and rude!

YEEY. One about Masha!! The Aga fan really is coming around ^_~

- Favourite surface: Grass
- Worst surface: Slow hard courts. After stuttgart and rome I don’t consider clay her worst anymore. She’s better than most of the top girls on it. The same can’t be said on hard. It’s a far more even playing field.
- Strongest aspect(s) of game: Mentality, ground-strokes and serve.
- Weakest aspect(s) of game: Mentality again, everything falls apart when she’s rushing things. Especially that serve.
- Toughest (or most feared) opponent: Serena
- Strength of character (out of 100): 100. Most players never get back to top after such a big injury. She’s been working her a$$ off all her life too, definitely a strong character.
- Consistency rating (out of 100): 95, this year at least. She’s Made the final or better of every event she has participated in apart from Paris. If you’re talking about her game alone, well probably 70. She makes a lot of mistakes but a colossal amount of winners.
- Skill rating (out of 100): 80. People criticize her for her lack of touch, but she does pull off some nifty shots.
- Movement rating (out of 100): 70. She’s not the most elegant mover, she scraps her way around though.
- Baseline rating (out of 100): 100. That is the height of her game.
- Net rating (out of 100): 75. Great drive volleys, and she also manages to put away quite tricky shots. She doesn’t come to the net often, but when she does she almost always wins the point. She does lack an initiate feel, but shes nowhere near as bad as people make out.
- Defense rating (out of 100): 85. It’s improved a lot. Probably the best scraper* out of the slower girls on tour.
- Attack rating (out of 100): 100. One of the most offensive players.
- Overall game rating (out of 100): 90. She’s brilliant at what she does and she compensates well for the weaknesses in her game.
- Sportsmanship rating (out of 100): 95. She is ALWAYS humble in her losses. Look at every single runner up speech of hers. Even against Aga in Miami she was extremely professional. She never makes excuses for her losses either. Faar more sporting than the howling owl.
- Personality rating (out of 100): 90. She seems pretty fun and light hearted. She is hardly a bitch, she just keeps to herself. There are far b***cier players on tour. It’s just because she’s pretty and blonde and gets all the attention. I quite like how she doesn’t care what the other players think, they all try too hard. She just does her thing. She’s not a serious person, she has a fantastic mindset. Nothing ever gets her down. An optimistic person. I heard on a forum recently that she ended up crying after her loss to Henin in the YEC of 2007 though. So yeah, she’s not as hard as she comes across ^__^
- Injury proneness (out of 100) I’m gonna leave this one out. Don’t want to tempt fate.
- % Chance of winning the French Open: 20. Maria and Serena are the biggest threats, followed by Vika and Petra. I expect Sam to do well too.
- Highest possible future ranking: 1.

BQ: I don’t mind. I’m only answering this because of the player you’re asking about. It’s too long for my simple @$$ otherwise.
BQ2: Delusion? Blind faith, I don’t know. We all love bouncy barty.
BQ3: Wimbledon or AO. The first is always classy like the queen diva, the second has a great energy to it. They both do, but Melbourne beats it by a small margin. So yeah, I think it’s pretty much tied for different reasons.
BQ4: RG. Although It’s amusing to see the players swear at them.

What: Tennis Betting
When: May 27th-June 10th, 2012
Where: Stade Roland Garros, Paris, France
Pick: Roger Federer; Victoria Azerenka

Men

It shouldn’t be surprising that Rafael Nadal (-110) is favored on the clay courts in Paris as he has won six of the last seven editions of the French Open, and he is still a top player, having made it to the finals in each of the last four Grand Slams and he is only two years removed from winning three Grand Slams in 2010. However, he lost last year’s Wimbledon and French Open as well as this year’s Australian Open to Novak Djokovic (+160), who has taken over the game, but he has never won this event; in fact, Djokovic has never made it to the final of the French Open. Roger Federer (+700) is also still a force and he is hungry as he hasn’t won a Grand Slam since the Australian Open in 2010, but for all his dominance, Federer has only won the French Open once, in 2009. Then the tennis betting odds drop to Juan Martin del Potro (+1200), Andy Murray (+1500) and David Ferrer (+3000).

But really, it’ll be a major upset if anyone outside of the top three wins, which has happened just once in the last 28 Grand Slames (del Potro in the 2009 U.S. Open). Tennis on the men’s side is a three-man game and it’ll continue to do so until Federer really starts to fade (and not just failing to win Grand Slams, we mean fail to win anything at all), or Nadal’s body completely breaks down. Djokovic would be a smart bet and you really couldn’t go wrong with Nadal, but Federer looks to be ready to end his Grand Slam drought and pick up his second victory in Paris to further cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats of the game, and arguably the best men’s tennis player in the history of the sport.

Women

There is more parity on the women’s side of the draw for tennis betting players, as nine players are being given a shot to win the tournament. Victoria Azerenka (+225) is coming off her first-ever Grand Slam at the Australian Open, but she has never made it past the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. Petra Kvitova (+475) is tough to put a finger on as she was eliminated in the first round of the U.S. Open after winning at Wimbledon, but she did manage to make it the semifinals at the Aussie Open. Serena Williams (+650) won the French Open in 2002, but has made it to the quarterfinals just once since then and that was in 2003. She has battled some injuries over the last couple years and reached the finals of the U.S. Open, but the younger Williams could be on the downside of her career; still, Serena Williams is still a threat on the tennis court. Then you have the trio of Maria Sharapova (+1000), Samantha Stosur (+1000) and Agnieszka Radwanska (+1000), none of whom have won the French Open before, although Sharapova has won the other three Grand Slams and is coming off a trip to the Aussie Open finals. Stosur won last year’s U.S. Open and made it to the finals at Roland Garros in 2010, but she is also inconsistent and was bounced in the first round Down Under, while Radwanska has never been past the quarterfinals of any Grand Slam. Then there is Caroline Wozniacki (+1200), defending champion Li Na (+1400) and Kim Clijsters (+1800), and Wozniacki is the only one in the trio who hasn’t won a Grand Slam, but it could be her time; you never know, she could be getting tips from boyfriend Rory McIlroy, who bounced back from a collapse at the Masters to storm to the U.S. Open title in golf last year.

This tournament is much more wide open than the male counterparts and you wouldn’t be faulted to picking any of these women, and you can also dip into the pool of tennis betting longshots as well. Four different women have won the French Open since Justine Henin won four times in five years in the mid-200s, so the smart wager would be to stick with the favorite, Victoria Azerenka, in your sports betting book.

Ok…can someone tell me what’s wrong with me ?
& Before I start, I’m not spoiled or anything ..
So ima 14 year old girl …and I hate my life.
This is my second year in homeschool, my parents took me
Out because they don’t think I was doing good and I was distracted
By all the social that goes on in school; even tho I never failed any classes
None of my grades were lower than a C, so I don’t think I did bad. I know
I could’ve done better but atleast I didn’t fail …and that was only grade 7..
I was new to highschool. So I spend everyday home on my computer doing
School. This is really boring as you can well imagine, I mean all my friends are
At school! I mean they may be bored at some point, but atleast there are some
Funny things that may happen, along with field trips, and funny class/high school/teenage
Memories …that Im missing out on :’( . I play tennis and my tennis teacher thinks im dead and
Should go back to regular school [but really I don’t like sports, so I just play tennis cuz I have to].
I have a few friends that I keep up with and we hang out on the weekends and stuff. I had a facebook but I had to delete it cuz a few years ago I gave my best friend my password and my parents think that’s
Irresponsible. Even tho she NEVER hacked me or anything, we just shared everything with eachother
And it was all innocent. Another reason why they were mad was cuz when I was in grade 7 a friend
Of mine gave this boy head at school; I didn’t tell them but they found out. They were all mad at me
Cuz I didn’t share that with them, but can you blame me ? how am I pose to tell them that, its none
Of their business anyway, and I didn’t know she was doing it till the whole school found out. Its not like
I wqas doing it either -.- anyway … my life is pretty dull and the past two years since grade 7 summer
Have been the worst of my life … everyday I seem to get in trouble and someone like my
Grandparents are mad at me, becuz they think im doing wrong im just a kid ..i wanna have fun
Ok im a teenager, im human, I make mistakes. Its not like im drinking, doing drugs or having sex either !
I don’t have a phone, cuz my parents don’t trust me…and I don’t know why they just don’t just give
Me the bennifit of a doubt . everyone in my family thinks I should go back to regular school, but my parents are stuck on NO. I mean I want to experience high school too ( its not like I was being bullied .
I just feel empty and my life is so boring. I know you’re proably thinking, it’ll soon be over and it wont matter when your out of school. But it will. I bet whoever reads this went to highschool and had a pretty normal life.
I don’t even know if im writing this soo you could understand. I just need someone who will let me know its ok…. Please im so depressed

• You really have the answer to your own question….you are depressed because you are missing the social aspect of school. You really need to talk to your parents about this….and if that doesn’t work then I suggest you ask them to see a counselor. The counselor can be a mediator between you and your parents or at least get it through to them how this is affecting you.
• There are programs for homeschoolers to participate in social activities. They meet up once or twice a week.

  Also, since you are homeschooling, consider challenging yourself to hurry up and finish high school and start college early. Many community colleges or 2 year colleges will take you with a GED. Anyway, I am just suggesting you take an accelerated route to becoming a successful member of society.

• tell al of this to your parents maybe they’ll understand and put you back in reagular high school.
• Sorry to hear about that it sounds really bad, mabye you could talk to your parents explain what your felling and tell them that it’s having a very bad effect on your life. You could also explain that it’s very important to interact with other people at the same age as you at this time in your life of it can cause problems with intertacting with people when you get older. I didn’t interact much with poeple when I was your age and it still causes me problems now and I’m 24. Tell your parents this and that you can never get this time in your life back.
  I hope this helps and that things get better for you

In a world where some people can afford BMWs, private jetplanes, mansions with swimming pools and tennis courts, 1M dollar engagement rings, prada and gucci bags as well as 3D TVs, laptops, digital cameras, ipads, iphones and millions of other consumer goods… why can’t some people afford the most basic of human necessities, food?

Why are there 1 billion people literally starving to death while CEOs on wall street get paid millions of dollars? AIG’s executives got paid millions while their company had to be bailed out with billions of dollars of taxpayer company.

After watching the documentary "The end of poverty" I’m completely convinced that poverty can’t be ended unless we completely change "the system" (wall street, the global economy, corporate governance, greed, capitalism, etc). The policies in Washington have a direct impact on third world countries in Afria, Asia and Latin America.

I’m ashamed to be American.
We make up 5% of the population, yet use 30% of the planet’s resources.
We are highly greedy, selfish and materialistic.

We care more about the death of Steve Jobs than the thousands of babies and children who slowly and painfully starve to death. Thats the type of people we are. Ipads are more important to us than people and human rights.

• They spend their wealth on exotic dancers, become poor, then find themselves homeless.
• i am not poverty , i gits me a welfares chech evry month
• Its human nature. We are not all equal, not in assets, not in skills, not in work or output, and not in luck.
• You’re right, I never read past the first two lines.

• Because life sucks and then you die.

  You lost the bet. What do I win?

• The answer you seek is…. 42.
• Because the world’s businessmen don’t care about pleasing people or tending to their needs.

  Great movie btw, just saw it about a week ago

• it’s difficult to answer a stream of hand-wringing feelings, baseless generalizations and a person who can’t handle the simple fact that reality can’t be packaged into a nice, easy-to-read format…
• In those places where there isn’t enough food for the population the population should decrease. If you had to watch your children starve to death would you keep having more?
• you can’t control what other people do, you just have to set an example

  you, personally, have to stop using so many resources; stop supporting the corporations that you feel are “evil”

• Not only America is selfish.That’s just the nature of the humans.

  some people live in poverty because of their own fault,but there are people,who don’t get what they deserve.

  It’s persons own fault if he doesn’t study enough to get high education.

  But some persons just live in places where greedy people want to take land where poor African people live.

• Because that is the way nature made the world. That is reality. Shame is not an appropriate reaction to ugliness that is nobody’s fault.
  The animal kingdom is the same way. Cruelty, winners and losers.
  You cannot change it. Either accept it or spend your life in denial.
  Most people that claim to have compassion are far too lazy to help others-with their own labor. That’s because the ugliness is partly in you, too. If you want to help others, get a part-time job and make some money then use it to help the poor or join a group that does so. Do I still have your attention or are you simply frustrated that I have a chain attaching my wallet to my pants?
• Now you see, no one could answer correctly. It’s because the USA is greedy and envious and it’s not “Human Nature” I’m sorry to say that, but that philosophy comes from the Europeans (I’m Colombian but culturally speaking European) you know Europeans only harvest and harvest and harvest, but they never plant, Europeans are still like that nowadays, go to Africa and you’ll see what I’m talking about and Americans get rid of all their problems and take all the solutions in two places: Latin America and the Middle-East. I think we Latin Americans wouldn’t be that way, since we now how is it like to be puppets of the Third World, they don’t look any solution, they just keep taking our resources and say: It’s human nature. It is indeed Human Nature, but it can be changed. Not to turn into a Capitalist State but more alike a Socialist one. If the USa needs to get rid of their crap keep it in the USA, if you have no oil then find another solution, but don’t steal others ressources, please don’t.

please help?
oops up there i ment peter died
Thank you for taking the time to read this and answering i appreciate it(:

Wow That is child abuse!!!!! who ever is doing this to the baby tell them to stop they can suffer the pain!!! Tell them to stop she can suffer

If you really think it’s a problem, talk to your parents… They can help you in trying to get her parents attention and of necessary alert authority about the abuse.

First of all you should go to social services, walk there for the sake of her and tell her what is going on, social services will come to her house and ask her questions and take her away. DO THIS for her, even if you don’t want her to go, she needs to have a normal life and know how its like to be treated well she will be put in a good foster home. Ask to see her once in a while, Im sure you can (:

Yes, this physical abuse.

Don’t assume that just because she attends parochial (Catholic) school that the school uses corporeal punishment. That may or may not be true, but Catholic schools very likely are no longer using corporeal punishment because of all the sex scandals and law suits that have been going on in for more than 10 years.

Have you talked with YOUR parents or guardian about this. Would they be willing to back you up when and if you reported this abuse to government agency. Depending on how your state government is organized, there’s probably a website for the state Department of Human Services (that’s what it’s called in Oklahoma. it may have a different name in your state) web-page where you can find phone numbers and e-mail addresses to report the abuse of this child by her parents. The blue pages in phone books is another place to find phone numbers to government offices. Because you are not legally an adult yet ( unless you have been emancipated) you really need to have an adult backing you up so you will have more credibility If anything goes to court and the state or county takes custody of her, or one her relatives takes custody of her. Is there any way you can take video recording of her being spanked by parents. Video tapes as evidence of abuse are very good evidence in court proceedings. Things can go viral VERY quickly on the internet when something is posted to YouTube or Twitter, but be VERY careful about going too public too fast.

Talk to your own parents. Your voice probably sounds too young to be taken seriously on the phone, so get one of your parents to make an anonymous report to the local Children’s Protective Services. It will be checked out by someone who knows what to look for.

I know that it’s stupid, but I’m really bad with endurance. I’m strong enough to do stuff, (eg. tennis, badminton) but when we run around the track (only once) I’m like wheezing for dear life.

The next time around, I’m practically walking, perhaps stumbling every 10 steps, tripping over my own feet every 40 steps.
We haven’t gone further than 2 laps but I bet the 3rd time I’ll be crawling.

Think of a cheetah. I can run real fast at the start, and for a small amount of time, but then I’m tired.

My teacher isn’t bad. She does let me off when I look in bad shape. There was this time last year with a rat dissection that left me feeling bad in the stomach, mainly because of the smell of a dead rat that been in the fridge for months, and seeing a rat’s anus. So I didn’t have to run the laps.

I’m always in last place, FAR behind the others. I know I suck, OK? You don’t have to remind me every single PE lesson!

…Every time, my self-esteem takes a pretty hard blow. I’m not overweight, and I’m not underweight. I checked. I’m the kid ‘who looks average/kinda good but actually sucks’

I’m also extremely clumsy. I hit the tennis ball and my partner slipped on a tennis racket on the ground and she probably would’ve been fine, until a boy laughed at her and she cried. We were practicing serves and my friend walked in front of me while my full attention was on the ball (It was high up in the air) and I accidentally hit her…on the head.

Ugh. I can’t do anything right.

How can I skip?

First you need a rope.

Ask your mother or father to write a letter to the principal, requesting that you participate in PE lessons only in a limited way. (Maybe you have a touch of asthma or something. Go to your doctor for a check-up.)
.

What you need to do is go to your doctor, tell him what is happening and ask him to write you a note to hand to your PE teacher that for medical reasons you are not allowed to do PE. If you’re a good enough actress at the doctors it’s a sure fire winner!!!

Hey guys, where to start, where to start. Lately ive been talking to this girl and texting her constantly, shes very nice, cute, etc. and so I couldnt really help but develop feelings for her. The sad catch, however, is that shes about 2 years older than me, and were in highschool. We didnt hang out much but we saw eachother everyday at tennis practice and we talked. I decided it’d be nice to get it off my chest that I liked her so i told her that i liked her. She didnt really know how to respond but I didnt mind. See this is where things get complicated on my part.She said being friends is good but After i told her this, she started hanging out with me ALOT more and talking to me more. She started asking if I want to go hang out or go with her to get snacks and such. (We live very close to eachother). I told her i wasnt doing too well in one of my classes and she offered to tutor me. We’re always having bets on stupid things for playful pleasure. 2 nights ago we hung out til around 10, and Last night she snuck out of her house and came to my house and we talked until around 1. Then I walked her home. I mean, do "just" friends do that? I wouldnt say so.
So let me sum up our relationship: Exercise buddies, Shes my tutor, always txting eachother until 2, always hanging out, she snuck out and came to my house.
BUT shes 2 years older then me.
See I’m confused because shes never said or inferred anything about having feelings for me, but it really seems like she does, and im growing rather tired of guessing.
I dont really want a confidence booster or anything like that, I want someone to give me an honest opinion of the situation and if i should just move on. Or if not, suggestions on what i should do.
Thank you for your time.

Being just friends is way easier than being in a relationship. If she loves you she will wait for you and if you love her you will wait for her. Time heals everything!

I dont think you should give up and move on. If you really have feelings for this girl, show her! And dont just try and guess if she likes you. She acts like it, but she may just be trying to be nice.. Or lead you on. Im not really for sure! But try asking her if she feels the same way.

From they way you put it, it does seem that she does like you as a friend and maybe more but is holding out for some reason. It could be that she’s over compensating as a friend because you told her that you like her so she’s overly friendly to avoid awkwardness or it could be that she feels the same but doesn’t know how to reciprocate.

I would say move on. Still hang out with her but as friends, doing typical friend activities. She’s saying your just friends and she knows how you feel, it’s up to her now. Good luck
