Open Question: okay i wrote this essay and wanted a second opinion on it (any help would be appreciated)?

okay this is a this i believe essay i wrote and i wanted a second opinion on it and if there are any mistakes or revising to be made any help would be appreciated A long time ago, I learned that knowledge was the most important attribute in life, a precious gift which opens new doors, and a brighter future. When I was a small child, I learned firsthand of a life without knowledge can be. It was the beginning of winter and my dad and I were driving to downtown Phoenix, and as my dad was making a hard right turn, and then came a loud shrilling sound. I first thought we hit something. Then realized we had a flat tire. My father pulled the car over, and told me to stay put in the car. I however had other ideas, and the moments my father was busy fixing the tire. I opened the door, and started exploring, and I happened to stand upon a homeless man. I was both nervous and curious, and I immediately asked him why he was living on the street. He replied to me the answer which changed my thought on knowledge forever. He told me because he had no knowledge to do anything to do anything else, and told he wished he could redo his life. Years later, when I started understanding more, I came across a quote which held me on strong. I was not unable to forget the rest of my life these two quotes of Carlos Castaneda: A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it will live to regret his steps. ALEXANDER POPE: A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again. I first couldn't understand these two quotes. They both seemed to be saying the opposite of each other, one was saying knowledge was good, and one saying it was bad. Then I started thinking hard about these quotes, and started understanding. IN life not knowing will only give you problems, like eating something without the knowledge that it can cause great harm. And in life knowing to much will make you sorrow, and depressed forever, like knowing the date of your death. Lastly, the time I actuality experienced of what knowledge can get you. I was 14 years old, and it was the summer before I went to High school, and I thought it be a good idea to see how I could do on an interview for a job. I was not going to actuality thinking of getting a job, just wanted to see how I handled myself on applying for a job. I applied for position of a manager for Target. I applied, and took on an interview, and in that moment, when the interviewer asked me questions of my skills. I found out how important knowledge could be, and I wasn't chosen for the position, due to my knowledge and experience. I found out that knowledge shows where you belonged, and what you can do. I have used the value of knowledge in my life to succeed, and do well. I can not believe how my life would have turned out if I didn't recognize the value of knowledge.

Open Question: Girls i could really really use your opinion and advice here?

Known this girl for 2 months. We are both 18. We have been out together twice, just the two of us. Last time i saw her was 3 weeks ago. IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT if I told you that both times we went out she seemed pretty shy with me..we actually came across some of her guy friends and she seemed much more outgoing with them than me. She seemed more reserved and kinda nervous around me. This week was finals and we got out for winter break on friday, which was yesterday. I called this girl on Tuesday asking her out for an OFFICIAL date on the weekend. She said she doesnt know about this weekend because on saturday and sunday she has a dance performance at night. Which she ACTUALLY does, because some of my friends are in her dance group too. I told her that I am leaving next for out of town weekend and she asked what day exactly and she said we'll figure something out and that we still have time. She said she would get back at me. I said ok then and then after that she said or that i could get back at her. What i have noticed though is that she "kicks it" and "chills" with her guy friends..guys that she has known longer than me and seems to initiate contact with them, but not with me. My question is does this girl like me...im pretty sure she KNOWS I like her but is she just waiting for me to initiate her to see how much I really want her...i mean I see that she has no problem initiating contact with guy friends and people that she has known longer than me?

Open Question: Why do I have such a problem relating to straight men? I only want to date gay men?

All the guys I really want to date are gay, I'm never interested in straight men. I always connect really well to gay guys and have a lot to talk about and have a great time. But with straight guys I barely know what to even say to them. I mean, we can have sex, but it ends there. Anyone else have this problem or is there something wrong with me?

Open Question: Does this mean that he likes me or what? What should I do?

What did he mean when he said this? What can I do about it? Ok so my friend and the boy I liked since 6th grade (I'm in 9th now) were chatting in instant message on facebook and he said something like "Taylor (that's me) goes over to my house all the time" (that's because of his little sister who I'm friends with, and he lives 2 houses down). anyways so then my friend said "Do you like taylor?" and he said "As a friend, but if I were to ask her out it would be kinda weird because she's friends with my sister" So does he like me? I like him so much and I don't know what to do! I feel so stuck that the only reason he won't date me is becuase of his little sister. I like him SO much, I want to date him so bad, and I know this sounds awful, but I don't care if his little sister has a problem with it because I've liked him to much and too long not to do something about this. Also I don't know if he knows I like him. Please help me out!

Open Question: problem with my ex? help?

i've just came bk to my hometown after 2yrs.. before i left i had a messy break up with my ex. since then i haven't talked to her. because i was trying to move on and also she told me not to talked to her ever again. she hurt really bad, no one ever hurt like that before. and last week she came to my house to see me, i was really surprised because when we broke up she told never to tell her when i'll b bk and i remember that i had to beg her to talk to me. she said that she wants us to be friends. and she wants to meet up at my place to talk. the thing is that she is dating one of my mate, but who's overseas for couple of days. i think it's weird that she wants us to meet up at my place, coz i think she knows what could happen. i still do like her, though she hurt me really bad. she is the only girl that i can be comfortable with. we have talked a lot since on the phone, but she said that she still wants to talk face to face. i dunno what to do??

Open Question: I have this problem....i'm miserable...please please please help *10 points*?

ok...so i've been talkin 2 dis guy and he said he likes me, but the reason he hasn't asked me out is because we barely see each other and we barely talk. (we have no classes and my dad barely lets me go out on weekends). My dad substitutes at my school (worst thing ever) and he somehow found out about him. My dad said he doesn't like him and I have to stop texting him. My dad doesn't know him, he's actually really sweet and makes me happy. I still kept texting him. (then he blocked his number, so I had to text him from my friends phone). Over the weekend I asked my dad if I could go ice skating with my friends and he said yea...but he stayed there and watched me.( I was planning on meeting up with the guy), I snuck away and I did for like two seconds. Then my dad made this big thing in public. How do I persuade my dad to let me go out with him and date him. (I'm a sophmore)

Open Question: Please help me! (If you're uncomfortable with my problem please don't reply)?

Ok I'm not sure what to do. Ok I'm a teenager just in high school and I'm bisexual. I've never had a boyfriend before ever since I turned bi, and I've only dated girls (yes I'm a dude). The past five boy relationships I almost had were ruined by them lying to me about their bisexuality and they told me they never were and they just did it to mock me, except one of them actually did like me but stabbed me in the back by dating my best friend (who is a girl). So recently there was this guy and me and him were just about to date because we made out and me and my ex-girlfriend had broken up a week before this happened. He still had yet to break it off with his girlfriend and then we would be official. But his parents found out that he was bi and what was going on between me and him and they called up my parents and told my parents. His parents told my parents I'm not allowed to talk to him or see him ever again, and my parents told me I should not be thinking about my bisexuality at this age. Now they act like nothing ever happened and life goes on, but there's still something wrong with my life. They took away everything from me (texting, Facebook, etc.) because his parents told my parents that our texts were inappropriate, and my friends have left me because they think that me being bisexual is a desperate cry for attention even though thats not what I'm asking for. I still like him a lot, and his friends told me that he still likes me and won't stop, and that's the only thing keeping me hopeful that I will have a second chance. But in the mean time what do I do? He doesn't go to my school (his is about 15 minutes away from mine) and I have a ton of friends that go there, but half the time I can't get a hold of them.

Open Question: can someone please check if my essays good or not (be mean to it)?

okay i wrote this I believe essay and I would like it if someone could read it and tell me if theres any problems be as mean to it as you can just tell me if theres any error or if my essay doesn't make sense A long time ago, I learned that knowledge was the most important attribute in life, a precious gift which opens new doors, and a brighter future.
