Well, that’s one way of problem solving but it would also highlight a question of morality. The school system is intended to develop minds that would rather earnestly take examinations than copy others.

Yes and no? The thing I don’t think a lot of high school students understand is that what you’re learning, though not always useful in the real world, is supposed to develop your complex problem solving […]

While I agree with Silent Rain, and I do, I think it is important to emphasize the repercussions of not maintaining strong communications. If a distance between you two develops on a communicative level it will […]

I’ll echo Ed’s comments and also reiterate that what your friend needs most right now is for you to have her back. This is who she is and you were special enough for her to share that with. Don’t let her down.

Gotta agree with rinseandrep. Generalizations aren’t helpful. Not all women are the same.

If there is a problem, it should be highlighted. Why not tell him that you aren’t connecting? Why not just admit that you’re in a rut? I know it sounds nice to spare him his feelings by staying quiet, but that […]

I wouldn’t say that you shouldn’t, so long as you think things will stay platonic. Really, there is no reason for exs to not be friends unless they’ve established that they aren’t particularly good for you.

There’s always a chance. I suppose the bigger question is whether that would be healthy or not. Sometimes there is sexual chemistry between two people, but maintaining a romantic relationship just isn’t very […]

If you have things to say, then say them. I think you need it and he deserves to hear it. However, I don’t think text message is the right way to go about it. Tone generally can’t be conveyed properly over text, […]

I used to think like this back when I was in high school. In my head, everyone around me was a shallow idiot or a jerk. Years later I realized that I was being the jerk by putting them in those boxes.
