Honestly, it depends on the situation, who I'm providing the information to, and the consequences.

When I was in music school, my teacher slapped my back whenever I slouched. I never slouch anymore Maybe you should get someone to slap your back every time you slouch.

Oh, no, the Mayans never had the chance to continue on with their calendar project a long, long time ago! It's totally the end of the world on December 21, 2012! So scared!

Judging others is animal instinct. We can't help but judge, especially visually. I try not to judge, but sometimes it just happens.

It doesn't bother me at all. Finding out things through Facebook is much easier because I usually find out faster that way, especially since my family is scattered throughout the globe.

I'm 5'1 and 110 pounds. I eat smaller portions of meals 5 times a day. I jog in the morning and bike after school. I don't really eat meat because I don't really like the taste, but I do eat fish a lot.

Off-Topic / Re: Parents Won't Pay for College

Although I completely disagree with her reasons for doing it, parents are nor required nor obligated to pay for college for their children.  She is doing this to control you.  When you turn 18 you will be an adult and will have the freedom to live your own life as you see fit.  You have two choices if you want to have an easy time and have her pay for your education you need to break up with your boyfriend and bend to her will and follow her rules.  She is paying the cost to be the boss. 

You can continue to let her control you with money or you can stop being a child and take your life into your own hands, refuse to be bullied and controlled by her and pay for it yourself.  You are not the only one to not have parents pay for school and you won't be the last.  You should start by looking under every rock and apply for every scholarship and grant you can, even if you think you might not be eligible try anyway.  Ask your guidance counselor to help you.

Do you play sports, an instrument, have an unusual skill or talent?  There are scholarships for that.  What's your ethnicity (they have scholarships for every ethnic group on earth) look into that.  Do your parents belong to any professional organizations?  Look there.  What's your religion?  Look there.  Do you participate in extra curricular activities?  Look there. 

Get a job.  Make up a job.  Babysit, be a pet sitter.  Run errands for your elderly neighbors.  Don't pass up anyway to earn extra money.  Join the military they will give you money to go to school.  Community colleges are cheaper.  You can take your core classes there for less then transfer to a four year university later.  In the mean time make sure your grades are are excellent.  If all else fails get a loan. 

Oh yes and if you decide to continue to see your boyfriend I suggest you move out as soon as you can.  Choose a college that's far away.  If she is going to act like this now it will get even worse if she is controlling the purse stings.

Good luck.

I already broke up with him, and she's still not paying for college. Every time I get paid from being a tutor/babysitter, she takes the money. She's not allowing me to have my license either so I won't get a constant job.
