My 15-year-old just read All Quiet in high school. Her comment: "The other half of the class read it first, so they warned us that everybody dies."

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Not quite sure what my response should be.
"You just got a glimpse as to what will happen to you if you break curfew again."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"You just got a glimpse as to what will happen to you if you break curfew again."
BWAH!
I loved All Quiet, and I think I was 14 when I read it. Disturbing but effective.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Good one Aimee - especially since she DID miss curfew last weekend. That one has merit, yes it does.

Ugh. I hate it when I feel stupid.

Just work. I'm working on a big project, and I'm not sure what direction to take it. I know they're trying to use it as a learning experience for me, but I just feel stupid...like I don't know what I'm doing. I need to ask for help, but then I feel like I've failed.

There's nothing wrong with asking for help, and it sounds like it's even expected.

vw, can you form your questions about this project into scenarios?
Take the project in A direction with outcomes a, b, and c;
or, take the project in B direction with outcomes b, d, and e;
or, take the project in F direction with outcomes f, g, and a.
If you can outline the possibilities, it may help you figure the whole thing out for yourself. And if it does not give you complete independence, it will give you some intelligent questions to ask. If the project is meant to be a learning experience for you, I guarantee they do not mean for you to be completely on your own - the way to impress them in this case is to be asking good, intelligent questions.
