Hey I am Kara! I am 16 and this year we are going to host an exchange student from switzerland! How do i make her feel welcome? What kind of food should we have? And anymore tips would be great! Thanks so much (:
3 months ago, I came to University as an exchange student at UC Berkeley
When I first came to university, I have fallen in love with a woman.
She’s my best friend& white
I wanted her to be my girlfriend But……
Many of my friends said “white or black women isn’t attracted japanese&korean”
“She’s not even pretty nor sexy
I do not know why you want to hang out(play) with her
Even my korean(my country) friends do not understand me why I love her.
They do not help me.
What should I do?
Im 14 (8th grade) and was hoping on becoming a foriegn exhcange student to russia ( I live in america ) when im a freshman/junior in high school. I have a solid B average (execpt for math were im in the advanced class) and i would work hard to learn the language.
so i was wondering what the requirements are to doing this.

I am 16 years old and am ready to get emancipated. I am in full time college ( running start student) and have ~3.4 GPA. i live alone with my mom ( my brother was out of the hosue at 17). It is an emotionally abusive relationship in which she feels the need to demean me and make me feel less than garbage. i take care of the house, chores including my moms laundry and making her meals.The stress of living at home with my moms constant yelling, cussing, and hurtful words is wearing on me physically. I am unable to sleep and get terrible migraine that i have gotten prescriptions for, meds elading up to percoset but that doesnt even help the pain. I need to get out of the hosue, it is not healthy for me or my mom. She has not allowed me to get my liscence or get a job, she is very big on being in control. Due to her being controlling, she will most likely fight my petition for emancipation. i ahve already arranged a childcare/ house work job in exchange for room and board with a friend of mine. Once i get emancipated, i intend to look for a job, but am unable to do this until i am emancipated because my mom will not allow it. i am currently on state insurance ( de to my mom being disabled and unemployed). i have already checked with dshs and they said that i will be able to stay on my insurance until i am 19. are there any basis that i have not covered? and do you think that i will be able to get emancipation granted? i have adult witnesses that can collaborate the verbal and emotional abuse.

This year I got my crush on a boy, I’m a college freshman btw.
Basically, this entire year the two of us were too nervous to talk to each other but were constantly exchanging glances, unsure if one liked the other.
Finally, an incident came around where it was pretty obvious the boy gave me the okay to talk to him after lecture.
I wanted to, and even waited as he finished talking to his friends.
But then I got a message from my mom, that said my sister had gotten into a car accident and she wanted me to meet her immediately.
Knowing I didn’t really have a choice, I got up and walked out of the classroom. But I had to use the bathroom first, which is a little in the opposite direction of the student union (where my mom wanted me to meet her).
As I was exiting, I saw the boy, and because I was already late, I walked right past him.
My sister later died that weekend.
I tried talking to the boy on Monday but he was by then extremely frustrated with me. So much so that he completely refuses to listen to me.
He got the idea that I’d been playing him the entire year.
(at the beginning of the semester I mistook him for a friend of mine, and that’s how he noticed me; I also tend to wear a lot of pretty clothes, not necessarily for him, but coincidentally when I am around him; I also tended to stare at him a lot yet never talked to him).
My question is this: should I tell the boy about my sister’s accident? I’ve got the idea of writing a not but haven’t written it yet.
Should I tell him? I don’t want him to be with me only out of guilt. If I should, how should I word everything in the note?
I’ve never felt this way about a boy before I would hate for him to be with me out of guilt.
No I really don’t know what’s the right thing to do.
I’m feeling depressed about an upcoming move, and I just want to know some ideas about how to handle this situation. I feel like I’m being ripped from my life…
So I’m 22 (almost 23) and I currently live in Korea- I’ve been here for a year (Since May 2010) as an exchange student and I’m staying until August. I’ve wanted to live in Korea for years and have made numerous stays here before studying here. Most of my frends are in Korea (as I had mostly Korean exchange student friends in the U.S as well who have all since in the past year come back to Korea) and my boyfriend is Korean as well. I live with my boyfriend now, we have our own place and plan on getting engaged when I move back to Korea perminantly (He’s 30, I’m 22). He works from home so except when Im in classes we’re almost always together. — My life is here, in Korea- I always felt I wasn’t meant to be in the States and its why every chance Ive gotten Ive come back - But it’s even harder this time because I felt like I’ve REALLY established my life here now– I feel like I moved away from home, met the love of my life, and then I’m having it all snatched away.
I have to finish 2 semesters in the U.S to get my degree so I can work as an English teacher here- I plan to come back at winter break also, but it just makes me so depressed that I should put my life on pause… That’s exactly what it feels like. I’m being punished for no good reason. Is it right for a government to bann someone from their home? If someone goes abroad and hates it people just say “Well, go home, you can always go home” .. but what about in my situation? I am home, and I feel like I’m going to the U.S on study abroad but I’ll be homesick all the time …I have only 1 close friend back in the U.S — My younger sister moved out of the house since I’ve been in Korea- I now live in the city, but in the States I’m in the countryside - In Korea I have many friends and hang out every weekend - In the U.S I’m home all the time.
I know there’s no way around this — But I just feel depressed- because of course my boyfriend and I will have to be LD as well, It’s not the first time- and I know he loves me and I’m coming durng break and he’s coming to the States during the year as well.. but …. anyways it’s just the whole situation. What should I do to feel a bit happier about this?
