About 3 years ago I started a new profession and became acquainted with a coworker. We developed a friendship. We would have lunch on the weekends, meet up and go shopping things like that. Talked on the phone about two or three times a week. We talked about our relationships, she had a boyfriend i am married. In the last 3 years, she started working some where else and just this last summer I’ve moved to another state. But we still contact each other.
Well in july her boyfriend up and broke up with her and moved away. She was devastated since they, well she, was expecting him to propose soon. I was there for her, she called me maybe 6 or 7 times a day. Sometime crying or drunk, but i’ve been through a break up like that so I tried to comfort her. Well here it is almost 5 months later and she is still going through it. I’ve suggested counseling even invited her to my church back home because I felt that’s what she needed. My husband even set her up with one of his friends. But this guy was only good enough when she was lonely. But he has since moved on because she called and texted him all day.
My problem is she calls me 4 and 5 times a day and gets mad if I don’t answer. When we do talk, it’s always about her and her ex or some random guy. Sometimes I text her just cause i know she’s lonely. But as soon as I do she calls instead of texting back. Or if I update my facebook or myspace status, within 10 mins she calls.She says " I see you are online, so you must be up or have nothing to do". I have two small children and a husband so my time is pretty much taken up. I get off work at 4pm, but when I get home I see she has called at 3:30 or at 4:15. And when i do get home I have to cook dinner, help with homework, but she calls as soon as I walk through the door. Things like that. Sometimes I feel like I’m dating her.lol… I don’t know what to do. When has a friendship run its course? I’m not the kind of person to turn my back on someone, but she needs help and I’m not sure I have the means or energy to deal with her. I’ve tried to be subtle about it, but she’s not getting it. I don’t want to be rude and say don’t call me as much or whatever, cause that’s the same things her ex’s are telling her and the new guys she tries to date obviously are feeling the same way. What would a true friend do?
We both are in education. I was wondering how she calls so much and do her job. Well she called the other day upset cause her boss is putting her on an improvement plan. that was probably my chance to say something…

I want to go into network security when I get out of college but I want to know what majors to search for? I need to know which majors or major I could search for thatwould help me go into this field, I am applying for colleges right now and need help finding majors for this field when I get out. If anyone does this or has any knowledge a college path to go into this career please let me know and thank you.

First question
I’ve just finished my Junior year and completed nearly all my A-G courses except my last (of four) years of English. Was i suppose to take it prior to my senior year seeing as how I need to complete the A-G in order to apply to a UC or can I still apply and just take my last year of English in my Senior year?

Second question
I am taking my SATs subject and reasoning and ACT during the fall (senior year). Seeing as how I need my test scores on the application before I submit it, does this mean it is now too late for me to get into a UC after graduating high school? Am I screwed or is it possible to take my tests in the fall and still record the scores on my application and submit it all before the deadline?

Third Question
My GPA is a low 3.0-3.24 average, I have no extracurricular activity, and although I am quite confident of my upcoming test, lets say hypothetically I get an average test score, would getting a GPA of 3.5^ in my senior year and writing an outstanding personal statement make a difference?

Fourth Question
I am registering for my tests on Collegeboard.com and on the section where it says send score, am I suppose to send the scores to the UCs of my choice even though I haven’t send my application the UC I want to get into (or unsure if I’ll even get into)?

Fifth Question
Which UCs provide majors in biotechnology? Please rank all the UCs with a BE major by how good their programs are.

Sixth Question
Do I have to take two specific SAT Subject tests for the UC I’m applying for or can it be any combination? For example, I’m applying for UC Riverside, UCSD, and UCLA and wish to major in Biotechnology. Does that mean I have to specifically take the Bio and Math tests because my bio teacher was horrible and taught us little to nothing on biology other than "Global Warming and the Human race is evil! Save the environment blah blah blah!" And I’m fairly good at math but World History and Lit seem to be my current strong points. So do i have to specifically take the Math and Bio tests or can I just choose whatever test I feel comfortable taking (World History and Literature)?

Also where can I apply for the UCs of my choice online?

Thank you for all who bothered to answer!

Hi, I am looking for some online homeschooling courses. I was wondering if anyone could recommend an online accredited program (high school level). It would be really nice if the course had online live teachers. Thanks so much!!

I’m one of those kids where my parents have been grooming me for success from the second I was born.

I’m in 8th grade this year, and by the end of the year I will have 5 high school credits.
Algebra I – 4.0 gpa
Honors Geometry – 5.0 gpa
Honors English – 5.0 gpa
Honors Biology – 5.0 gpa
Spanish I – 4.0 gpa

My dad is making me get all the Honors credits I can get, the honors credits are only available online, and even though I am making 97 and above in all of them my parents still yell at me like crazy and call me lazy. They want me to become a Marine Biologist so that I study the patterns of global warming and the ocean. Marine Biology was my choice as a career, but now they are crazy about it.

They don’t want to let me make my own choices, and next year (9th) they already want me to start taking college courses, I know I’m smart, but I feel like I only have this time in my life to have fun, and they are treating me like an educational slave.

Should I stand up to them? Or just trust that they are doing things in my best interest, I feel like I’m going to break from the stress they’ve put on me, and I’ve already resorted to self mutilation, if you know what I mean…>.> Help me please!
Besides my regular school classes my parents also expect me to balance soccer practice, practicing the clarinet and guitar, and school fundraisers. I’m serious, they’re crazy! >.<
