  • Why does the police take so long?

    So in mid February I got my phone stolen and the person pulled a gun on me so I called the cops. I sat in the detective office for a good three hours and told them what happened. Now two guys from the police station come 2 months after so I can look at pictures. What took them so long?

  • My dad hates all of the things I do.?

    So look im 16 years old and a well rounded teen. My neighborhood is filled with kids so I take advantage of it by watching kids. So they got me involved in yugioh. They let me use their cards and they grew on me. So now i play with them and also at this card store (yes i was surprised it was there. Its called the Garden of Earthly Delights and the name is something that most kids may usually stay away from) and i learned they play there so i built a 2 decks there one easy enough to match up with the younger kids and one for the other people my age. So my dad sees me looking through the cards for the first time. The first thing he tells me is to stop wasting my time with crap like that and focus on my school. I told him to look at a certificate i had on my wall for distinguished honors...11 years in a row. So im doing awesome in school.

    Another thing is that I had a ps2 and only 2 games kingdom hearts 2 and naruto ultimate ninja 3 and I sold it and bought a ps3 with the money I earned from babysitting. He tells me that I shouldn't waste my time with video games considering i go to a college prep that i think mocks college because we use college textbooks and test all in high school and says I should worry about my school. I am awesome with school once again and I can only play it on weekends and most of the time I can easily give away the tv to other people. Most of the time im with friends.

    When i go out with friends apparently I must be back before dark even though their house is a block away and I live in the suburbs where nothing ever go on. We plan on going to the movies and he thinks he has to chaperon us and the movies is a 45 minute walk considering we don't have any buses. He goes with us and embarrasses me saying this movie is too young for me and we were seeing old dogs (you know how the cover it has adam sandler and his friends going down the water slide and chooses a movie for us(we snuck out)).

    Last he is always complaining about my diet. He thinks im too skinny. Because of my neighborhood I'm always walking around so I get alot of exercise and im one of those people who don't really gain weight no matter how much i eat. He is always babying me trying to monitor my diet by buying me "expensive" things like organic eggs and milk saying its good for me.

    He is an awesome guy (at home) and I rely on him for alot but he needs to know that im not i kid and I can take care of my self and other kids. I have a job and good grades, he knows all of my friends and meet their parents. I just don't know why he is saying all of the things I do is bad. I play yugioh so does other people in my neighbor hood my age maybe about 40 from my school who i seen at the garden, the games i bought aren't inappropriate its midnight club L.A and final fantasy 13. I also have distinguish honors since the first grade and i could skip a grade if I wanted to I took the test and passed but i told my principal to tell my parents I failed so I can stay in my grade. Yeah I know but I like my friends. And I want to stay in high school and go to college the year im supposed to go. What is his problem I just want some more freedom around me and for him to stop babying me.

    Sorry this is so long but I really need some advice.

  • Employment application?

    I am currently 16 years old looking for a summer job specifically at a clothing store. I am having trouble completing the application because I am not sure what a couple of things mean.

    1. If they ask for previous employments, and I don't have any, will that ruin my chances of getting a job there?

    2. What is course of study for a high school student and what should I right down?

    3. For the education column under high school, they ask Date From/To so should I put down when I started until I graduate (I am still a sophomore) or present?

    4. Still under High school education, what is circle last year completed mean?

    5. What if you just walked into the store and as you were checking out merchandise, you asked for an application, what do you put under reference?

    If it makes any difference, I am an organized person and I am trying to work at AEROPOSTALE over the summer. What are the chances for me getting a partime job over the summer?

  • How can you finish homework fast?

    I never get my homework done that night. Any tips to doing all in about 2 hours or less. If it helps i'm in tenth grade and my teachers all give me homework for reading (read a chapter and write a summary), biology (only a worksheet), art (yes i have to draw every night), geometry (about 40 problems must draw diagrams and show all work), and history (different every night)
