Ive only just started high school, but family and friends are making such a big deal about what I’m doing with my life, Sure my grades aren’t as good as they should be, & I’m in Applied courses, I’m cutting myself short, and like most Teenagers my age, i don’t attend classes everyday, sometimes there are days in which id just rather Stay home and Rest. My goal for the new year is to Be more responsible, I’ve made myself a plan for the future, in the beginning it consisted of staying in Canada, Take up a Part time job later this year to pay for College, Finish high school, (Stay an extra year, to get extra Credits), move into a Condo/Apartment in Burlington, go to Canadian Therapeutic College, and after my two year course, i would move to wear ever i had a Placement to work.

But i want to get as far away as i can, My father completely despises me, & is already talking about kicking me out when I’m 18, Ive done nothing to Deserve this, and they’ve done everything to loose my trust and Respect.
Im just looking at other Possibilities, and Ive come up with an Idea, If i were to go to California they have an outstanding institute to practice massage therapy, and my salary in the USA is 30x higher than my salary would be if i Worked here in Ontario.
This sounded like a good decision at first, but there is so much more to think about, when im thinking about the whole image.
first) I would most definitely have to bring a friend with me, someone i can depend on, someone i can go out with, & someone to split the rent with.
second) The rent, Not only do i have to pay for College, i have to pay for Rent, and possibly a Car
third) To go to college in the usa, you have to get Accepted, here in Canada you don’t, you just pay & learn, so there is always the Chance i don’t get accepted, seeing as my grades aren’t great and i would have a High school diploma from Canada.
forth) Immigration from Canada to Usa.

Is following my Dreams in the California, to much ? am i being Realistic?
I dont hang out with the wrong crowd, i just have to get up at 6 am to catch the bus for school at 6 40, and i end up missing it, or get overwhelmed by school work, stay up to late, and cant get up in the morning.

OMG i am so like you

but the bead thing about it all is that we want more than we’re prepared to give..
i mean…everyone does right? just lay around etc and wait for the knowledge to come to us..
but i know that wont happen..

it is realistic that u might get accepted to a uni in cali…but it depends on ur grades…
and to get good grades u need to actually not laze around..like me :P and go to school.
this is so easy to be said,rather then done..
I KNOW..
i used to be a generally good student until i got pregnant,and had my on recently..
it was a lot of work in school,and getting my self fit for the baby etc
but somehow i am managing..yes i have stopped with my dream about modeling,after a few catwalks even versace..but my twin sister is carrying on with that now so i bless her..and wish her THEE best

but i recently realized so much how education is worth it..after all i am only 15 right now,but i have a son to look after not off my parents’ money in 10 years but mine.
now i am doing great,my parents are amazing,they can afford it so they pay everything for it all..
but i know that will have to change…whether i actually want it or not..they give me extra credit for many things,but later i will be a grown WOMAN with a child,therefore manage on my own..

try concentrating on something important to you..and maybe u dont know it yet..i dont really..so i try doing good in all subjects…and physics and chemistry are NOt the good areas for me AT ALL :P

i hope u find whatt ur looking for..good luck :)

My heart is heavy, need honest opinion. Guys, please chip in with advice.?

OK. On Sept. 1 I met a guy from Spain while vacationing with my friends in Mexico. There was instant chemistry. I had a boyfriend at the time, so all me and Mr. Spain did was talk. From that moment forward I have thought about him every day. And I mean every day. I have tried to forget about him and let it be, but I can’t. While in MX, we exchanged contact info and have been chatting via IM ever since, which is 4 & 1/2 months now. In Oct. I became single, which allowed me to explore the feelings I was having for Mr. Spain. However, how do you explore your feelings with someone who lives in another country? So instead I held my feelings in and continued to talk with him on IM as before. Then recently he proposed that the two of us go on holiday together. That was a very exciting moment for me. I talked with my travel agent, and she found me some good deals on all inclusive trips. I told Mr. Spain about the trips, and he said they sounded great but didn’t indicate anything further like, "Lets book it." It was two days ago that this happened. Then yesterday I wrote an email as if I was writing it to him that told him what I was feeling, that I thought about him a lot and that seeing him again might help me determine if what I am feeling is legit. I didn’t say those words, but that was the overall tone of the email. It was therapeutic (I am a writer at heart, so writing is therapy) to get it all out, but I didn’t hit send. As I was talking to him on IM yesterday evening I mentioned the email, and he asked me to send it. I said that I was scared, and he said never to be scared with him. So I sent it. He said he would read it while at work today. Well, he is now off work as it is almost 10pm in Spain. He has not signed in to IM nor has he emailed me back. I don’t know what to do! I allowed myself to be vulnerable, and now I am sitting here in agony wondering what he thought about what I said. It’s killing me. I just want him to say something about it, even if that something is, "No, I don’t think about you all the time and don’t really care if we see each other again." Yes, it would hurt, but at least I would know. I could then get over it and focus on guys that are here…like the one I am going on a date with tonight. We had our first date two days ago, and he is soooo sweet and funny and charming. But on my drive home I couldn’t get Mr. Spain out of my head. Until I know how he feels, it’s like I can’t give myself to someone else. I am just so afraid that if I didn’t make my feelings known and put effort into seeing Mr. Spain again then I would always wonder "what if." So because of that I don’t regret sending that email, but I’m still dying over here waiting to know what he’ll say or if he’ll ever talk to me again. Anyone have any advice?

Sending the email off to him was a good idea because if nothing else comes of it, a least you won’t have to wonder what if. This fantasy you have…this insatiable desire for him, it is preventing you from functioning as well as you could be in your real, here, now, and available world. Sure it hurts not hearing that he feels the same but it should no way keep you from moving forward (enjoying dating others). Get out your emotions about it and then move on. The whirlwind of emotions had swept you up and overtaken you; don’t let it take your common sense…and don’t let it make you miss out on something special that is waiting for you hear and now.

Only if you know this.?

STUDY 3: An investigator was interested in the effects of various treatments on reduction of fear in phobic participants. He suspected that type of phobia may interact with therapeutic treatments; specifically, that the types of treatments for agoraphobics (fear of open spaces) and claustrophobics (fear of closed spaces) might be different. He divided participants into two groups based upon type of fear and then assigned members of each group to treatment groups: desensitization, insight, and implosive therapies. After three months of treatment, participants’ anxiety in the feared situation was measured.

1. Identify the independent variables in this study (careful…there are 2!):

2. Identify the dependent measures:

3. Develop a possible hypothesis for this study:

1 treatments for agoraphobics and claustrophobics

2 desensitization, insight and implosive therapies

k-pax (a movie)?

February 282010

1. describe specific symptoms and/or behaviors that indicate Prot is suffering a mental disorder
2. describe the therapeutic approaches being used by the psychologist to treat Prot.
3. what seem to be the most effective therapeutic techniques?

That’s my favorite movie!!!

1. You could indicate Prot is suffering from a mental disorder because of his perception of reality like zac said already. Because Prot can present new facts that don’t fit into what Earth society believes he is considered mentally unstable. Whether he actually is unstable is up to the viewer of the movie to decide, personally I believe Prot is from K-Pax because he provided suffucient evidence to persuade me such as talking to the dog, knowing the star system hardly anyone knew about, vanishing from the hospital, taking Beth the second time he left when he had to go back to K-Pax, etc. However you could make the argument he was mentally unstable and those were just coincidences.

2.Some of the therapeutic approaches used to treat Prot would be:
-Hypnosis/regression – He had Prot go back in time to when he was younger and first met Robert Porter and then again to the night when he tried to drown himself.
-I forgot the word for it but it is when something you do something and it triggers a rush of memories to come back to you – he did this unintentionally when the sprinkler was turned on at his house and Prot has the Robert Porter drowning memory come back to him, he breaks down and starts crying and trying to protect the little girl.
-He tries sit down sessions with him on a routine basis, you should remember this from the movie, he even tries to play into Prot’s "alter-ego" by dimming the lights and asking him if it reminds him of K-Pax. He tries this again when he brings him to the astronomy lab and has the astronomer’s ask him questions about his galaxy.

3.Hard to say since none of the treatments actually "cured" him since he seems to actually be an alien and is able to at every turn come out on top when he goes head to head with the Doctor. You could say the hypnosis/regression had the most effect since the doctor learned about Robert Porter and that something terrible happened in his past(actually Robert’s past) but he still had to go to Arizona to learn more about what actually happened. Even once he learns about what actually happened and confronts Prot with the yearbook with Robert Porter’s picture Prot denies that it is him but says "Now that you found Robert, take care of him" which in my opinion indicates Prot is actually an alien and took over Robert Porter who was his friend from Earth and now that Robert is in the Dr.’s hands he will be safe when Prot goes back to K-Pax.

Hope this helped, but I’m curious do you think Prot was an alien or he was mentally unstable?

treatment centers fo?

February 282010

looking for a treatment center for major depression with psychotic features and ptsd. does anyone have any experience? looking for atleast a month long stay. i know there are lots of expensive places that insurance wont necessarily cover. i’ve seen some therapeutic farm communities.

Contact a local Mental Health Center or the Department of Psychiatry at a hospital. These places should be able to refer you. You may also want to look into a Day Program. I hope you find what you are looking for. Good Luck.
