Oh dear. Keep your hopes up! Life won't always be this way.

Your father and grandfather sound really strict... If I were you, I wouldn't take the things they say too seriously. It'll only make you feel worse.

Hoping the best for you!

It's all relative! Einstein explained his theory of relativity like this:

"When a man sits next to a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it'll be longer than all eternity. That's relativity."

if you're waiting for something good to happen, it''ll take forever! lol

Wow. Whoever this guy is, he is absolutely not cut out to be a teacher. Every student learns at their own pace. I thought that principle was like, "duh"... but apparently it's lost on him. If it were me in the situation, I'd let the guy have it... just tear into him verbally. But if you're not that type of person, there are other things you can do.

For one, you could try getting a tape recorder and putting it in your pocket or something and recording the lesson... that way you could get every verbal abuse on tape. Then, take the tape to your principal (if the lessons are through your school) or the Better Businiess Bureau (if he teaches independently or through a music studio).

Or, like Joey said, just find a different teacher. If you love playing guitar, don't let this douchebag ruin the fun of it.

Nahhh. I'm a pretty good-looking girl myself (not to be vain or anything) and I went through most of high school without a boyfriend. It's not that there's anything wrong with you, it's just that most guys don't know their ass from their Adam's apple when it comes to decent females.

Good for you :D

Create. Imagine. Explore. Drive. Dance. Sing. Learn. Re-learn.

Pick a verb. Do it.

Gul is right.


Your memories of the relationship you had with him are enabling him to get away with hurting you. If he hasn't fallen back for you yet, he's not going to. Sex with you will always be "no strings attached" to him. It's sad, and i'm sorry that you have to go through this, but it's true. It's going to take an unbelievable amount of strength to move on, but you're going to have to do it. It's what's best and HEALTHIEST for you.

Best wishes.

AHHH I agree

My tastes in music are... old-fashioned to say the least. I particularly like putting in Tony Bennett to ease my tension and sort of take me back to an earlier time. His voice and his melodies are simply amazing. One of my favorites is "Young and Warm and Wonderful" from 1958:

Young and warm and wonderful
You are all I dreamed you'd be
Dreams that seemed improbable
All have once have come true, now I see

Every searching heart finds its happiness
Love is only a matter of time

Young and warm and wonderful at last
You're here my love, and love is mine

Every searching heart finds its happiness
Love is only a matter of time

Young and warm and wonderful at last
You're here, my love, and love is mine.

If you have a cellphone, keep it by you at all times. Don't leave your room unless you absolutely have to, and barricade your door with anything you've got. He's intoxicated, and it's impossible to reason with someone in that condition. And that makes him all the more dangerous. Can you call your mom? Tell her you're afraid for your life. That should get her attention. Or, if you don't have a cell, but have access to a computer, try emailing/IMing a friend and see if you can get them to call the police for you.
I'm sincerely concerned for your safety. Let me know when you're safe.
