I used to be good at them, but I've gotten more and more socially anxious as the years went on. Last semester I had to give a presentation for a final, and I actually began shaking! It was a total disaster. Please help me. What can I do to get over it???

I misheard my English teacher about the thesis being at the end of the last paragraph and didn't know he meant the last sentence of the first paragraph and now my first paragraph's a run-on and I'm not sure how to summarize what it is I'm exactly writing about, what I did was experiment with recurring themes and motifs in an effort to reveal Holden's character and psychological problems with quotes represented in the book (I know I need to quote more.), please help! >.> and thank you..

Run-on: J.D. Salinger’s 1951 classic, The Catcher in the Rye, is a coming-of-age novel about psychological and moral treatise. It is written through the course of two days (most likely December 18 & 19), starting after the story’s protagonist, Holden Caulfield’s expulsion from the elite Pencey Prep and leading up to the events that land him in a psychiatric facility.

Do you remember February 1993 in England , when a
young boy of 3 was taken from a Liverpool shopping
centre by two 10-year-old boys?
Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only
a second, Jon Venables took his hand and led him out
of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson. They took
Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles, along the
way stopping every now and again to
torture the poor little boy who was crying
constantly for his mummy.
Finally they stopped at a railway track where they
brutally kicked him, threw stones at him, rubbed paint
in his eyes, pushed batteries up his anus and cut his
fingers off with scissors. Other mutilations were
inflicted but not reported in the press.

N.B. :- Remember, a 3year old cannot possibly
defend themselves against a 10 year old, let alone of
2 them.

What these two boys did was so horrendous that
Jamie's mother was forbidden to identify his body.
They then left his beaten small body on railway
tracks so a train could run him over to hide the mess
they had created. These two boys, even being boys,
understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to
make it look like an accident.

This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded
the two boys ( now men ), anonymity for the rest of
their lives when they leave custody with new
identities. They will also leave custody early only
serving just over half of their sentence.
They are being relocated to Australia to live out
the rest of their lives. They disgustingly and
violently took Jamie's life away and in return they
each get a new life!

i normally dye my hair light blonde, but wanted to go a little darker so i bought a box of feria #72, "dark irdescent blonde" and even though it said this was a "warm" tone, it ended making my hair a nasty purple-greyish color. it looks horrible. i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what i could do to fix it besides going to the salon for color-correction (i would have gone there to dye it in the first place if i wasn't on such a tight budget; hence the $12 box of feria). would a semi-permanent work, like a darker more redish brown, or would that just mess it up even worse? i just have no idea how to fix this and man does it look awful.

I must admit, I am not too experienced in life to know how I go about tracking these down... I have filed for the past 3 years, once with H&R Block and the last 2 with Tax Act Online... Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Here is the deal...I am incredibly athletic. I just quit my college baseball team (I was the team captain and starting catcher), because I want to get into mixed martial arts - my point is that I can compete with taller guys, my height is not a disadvantage. I am in great shape - cut and buff... Also, i've got a 3.7 gpa in college, so I'm smart. However, I'm 5'6" and single, and all I hear about is how "short" I am, not that I am in great physical shape, or that I am really intelligent...do women really have something against guys that are not tall, or am I just having some bad luck?

My boyfriend got me a present for xmas, its my 'main' present..... a few weeks after he bought it I had a dream that it was a ring, i couldnt see what sort of ring it was as i was having a peek at it in my dream. I told him a few days later that i had the dream, he didnt say anything about it at the time but he asked me a few days after whether it was a normal ring or a special occassion ring to which i replied i dont know, a few days later in bed he said to me "im only going to say this once and im not telling you what i mean by it but sometimes dreams can come true"
can anyone tell me what they think this means???????

Now my new problem is that he started rolling over and he loves that he can do this and does it all the time. He sleeps next to me so hes always in the middle. I worry now though bc of this. Tips? And please dont say move him from my bed :( I dont want to do that.

What are some unique ways to package homemade cookies, given as Christmas presents? I'm wanting to steer away from the usual Christmas-themed tin this year. Low-cost, attractive ideas--prefereably with packaging that can be reused by the recipient to store other things throughout the year (so the gift will be clutter-free)? Thanks!

I'm by no means racist, but why can't I say I'm white and proud of it without someone accusing me of being a redneck klansman?
Why am I made to feel almost ashamed and dirty to admit I'm proud to be white?

okay yeah there is lots of naked chicks but whoever is watching is not getting laid. And who is gonna spend 20 bucks to get a couple boners. And not alot of people beat their meat. Some say it is a motion picture to Build up couples and give them new suggestions for sexual positions. Well most of the positions in the films are hazardous, most can sexually injure people. So really what is the point? Not being gay or anything but just curious.

OK, so i have to choose what i want to study in University, really soon, like in 2 week. I kinda have an inerst in fashion and design and sometimes when i go shopping with freinds, I have some neat ideas for matchin colors.
But, since i really wanna be an independant lady, I want to make good money from my career, therefore, i was also thinking of studying Dentistry ( which I'm neutral about, ie. dont hate it, dont like it :D ). PLz help me choose b/w these 2 and tell me whether I will be having anychance in todays world of fashion? PLz explain in details , this is a matter of life and death. Oh, eventhough i really dont like biology and sciences, I manage to get 90+ grades on them, but i find them kinda boring and hard. I'm also afraid that my interest in fashion could not be real. PLz helllllllllllp
