Well one thing I know about Hawaii is that it is expensive. Since it is so beautiful the price of property there is pretty high. Also since alot of tourists go there everything will be a little bit more. If you moved to a city or town out of the tourist areas then I will assume that the prices will be lower and it would be cheaper to live there. About the culture shock it would be a shock to anybody whether they live in the US or the UK because Hawaii has a culture of its own. I dont think it would be that hard to get to live in Hawaii with the immigration process. Just make sure you have all the proper documentation and you dont do anything stupid like bring drugs with you.

I am 16 years old and I see all these couples in high school that are supposedly "in love". You hear older people say to children that they dont know what love is and Id have to agree with them. I just see all these couples dating and of course all of them say they are in love but yet they have been going out for a grand total of 4 months!!! It annoyes me so much to hear all these ignorant kids saying that they are in love. You could call this pessimism but I think its the truth. I mean when youre in love doesnt that usually mean that you could spend the rest of your life with one another? I highly doubt it that any relationship in high school will succeed for life. You hear about them now and again but it doesnt happen very often. I just dont think these kids know what love is. What do you people think about young kids and love? Do you think they know what love is? Were you in truly in love when you were 15, 16, 17, etc? Did you ever think you were in love but now you know you never were at those ages? I would just like to see a different perspective on love from people who have had more experience. Thanks.

I know what you mean. Almost always I am a nice kind guy but sometimes all the things just add up and I just explode on people. It isnt usually big things that make me snap its just a collection of small things that happen. Whether it be people who irritate me, then something else, and then someone just does something small that I just hate. I dont do it a lot but when I do I usually give people their moneys worth, lol. I just cant control myself. But sometimes I try to avoid it by just saying what I want to say outloud in my head for a second and just hold it in and tell it to someone later on that you arent angry at. At one time I may just want to snap on someone Ill just try to hold it in and maybe an hour or so later just talk to someone you arent mad at and tell them what you wanted to say or what you were thinking. That way I get it off my chest and its not held in. Thats what I do.

Theres this girl that I kind of like. My friend introduced us recently, within the last week. We have talked online for about 3 or 4 days and it has gone well. My problem is that when I first meet somebody I don't be myself. I try to be perfect because I know if I am then they will have to like me. When I am myself, I get excited about stuff, I really get into whatever Im talking about, and I am really sarcastic. I am myself with all of the friends I have known for a while because I feel comfortable with them and they know what I am like. Its just when Im with people I don't know its like Im a totally different person. Its hard to be myself around other people cause I think that if I am how I normally am then people wont like me. I don't know why I am like that but do you think there is any way I can just be natural around this girl that I like. Does anybody else have this problem? And if you do what have you done to not be like that? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I come from an average income family. We live in the suburbs and we are not finacially challenged at all but we are not wealthy by any means of the imagination. There are some kids at my school who are more priveledged than others. Do you think people take in the account of money for who their friends are? I remember a long time ago, maybe I was maybe 10 or 11 or something, I dont remember but I thats besides the fact. Anyways I was in the car with my friend and his mom and his sister. His sister was older probably 15 or so and she asked her mom if she could goto some girls house later that her mom did not know. Her mom then asked something to the effect of "Is her house acceptable", her daughter replyed "Yeah they arent poor or anything". And then the mom agreed that her daughter could goto the other girls house. But what if the girl's family wasnt that well to do? Would the mom have denied her daughters request just because she didnt have a lot of money? That seems very shallow. Do you think that a lot of people are like that? If you had more materially to offer to people are they going to choose you over someone who maybe a better person but have less money? I dont like to think that that is the case but Im afriad I believe it is. What do you all think?

Maybe whats wrong is the thing that is making you angry in the first place to cause the damage. You said that you were angry when you damaged both the refrigerator and the counter; what is it that made you so angry? I think that if you can solve that problem then you will be less inclined to react harshly and without creating damage. Also you said you move into an apartment. When you first move in dont you have to pay a security deposit? And doesnt the landlord use that to fix anything that might have been stained, broken, chipped, etc. in the apartment? I could be wrong but thats what I thought it did. If thats the case then you dotn have to worry about what youve done to your new apartment because when you already have it covered with the security deposit.

Well Im 16 years old and everyday as Im walking in the hallways I see this girl who I think is very pretty. Shes not like 'oh my god youre hot as hell" but shes pretty. Theres a difference. Anyways I see her and well I was wondering if it is acceptable for me to just walk up to her and ask her if she wants to see a movie or something. When I see her shes always walking alone so I wont be interrupting her conversation. Do you think its alright if I do that? I mean I dont know her name, how old she is, or anything else. Ive only seen her. She might even have a boyfriend but that I dont know. Is it uncommon for people my age to do something like this? The school year is almost over and so I dont really have a lot of time if I do infact deciede to act. I feel that if maybe I just keep on putting it off my time will run out and I would have never known what might have happened. If anybody has any advice or anything pertinent to the topic, please let me know. Thanks.
