My little sister, now 18, used to be oh so sweet, always laughing at jokes, sitting on my dad's lap and helping my mother out. In the past year or so she has transformed into this shallow, attitude ridden young woman, pouting, rolling her eyes and raising her voice to a screech that could shatter plexiglass the moment something does not go her way. My dad gives in to her and most of the time my mom does as well. I, 8 years her elder, have taken it upon myself to discipline her. I've attempted to patiently talk to her, which only leads her to the "don't lecture me" response. I've blown up on her when I witness her walking all over my parents, which either makes her cringe or resent me. She can be so sweet sometimes but its very easy to see that she is only acting that way because she wants something. What can i do to help my parents out? I don't live at home but am here frequently for short periods of time.

as an Englishman who is currently flying home from a business trip to the USA i am asking this.
AS everyone is aware the American troops have been tarred the worst in the world mainly for shooting people who are on the same side, but i have a theory which could change that.
My theory is that the American soldiers are given guns which were previously used at fairgrounds, the fairgound workers traditionally bend the barrells thus rendering it extremely diffcult to win a prize.These guns are then given to USA military for use in wars.
Anyone agree?

What do certified teachers look for in a student's portfolio? I mean I know they check to see if the child has grown academically but what do they actually check for or do?

If you have ever chosen to do a portfolio review for your child's annual evaluation (given you know what I am talking about) could you please tell me how it works, I would greatly appreciate it.

Last night I had an argument with my ex boyfriend he told me that when he first met me the only reason he dated me was to get into my pants. I yelled a lot and I felt so worthless after that and he also said what can I do to make you go the hell away. He's also mentioned that he was never attracted to me but that I should move on and find someone else I said I didn't want anyone else and he said you should because you deserve someone nice and I'm an asshole. What is it that I'm doing that repels guys so much I have had three different relationships in three months and none of them have worked out.

I, (my personal point of view) have difficulty to believe in that theory, "that gays are what they are because they have chosen their path".
My Question to all homos(with all due respect) on this forum, Do you really choose to whom you are attracted with?

Ok England probably needed 3 to 5 overs to bowl out India and take a 1-0 lead in the series. It didnt happen, so would India have the upper hand? I say this cuz India knew they were gonna lose, but the weather intervened, obviously the Indian players would have gotten a huge boost of confidence, and the Englishmen would have gotten a huge blow to their confidence. Can they play like how they played in the 1st game? or will India take advantage?

I hope England win!
