AWell sorry to say this but you can ’ t be friends with someone for that long and expect to be tight friends or have the same level of commitment to each other till this day . Fights and arguments or even this feeling of being distant to each other is bound to happen . People change , you grow up and want to explore to new things . Why are you such a faithful nun to that relationship ? Hold on to something that you know will be fruitful in the end . Maybe you need to meet new people and get yourself “ buddies ” as well .

AAre you trying to kill yourself slowly in your sleep ? Once you committed yourself to stopping you need to seek professional help . See a therapist or even Dr . who will in most cases put you on a detox programme , to help clean out your system . It will probably be the most difficult but once you are committed to stopping you ’ ll be okay kiddo .

QNo one told m e k uti ch ik oro ch ak aw om a , aaah . I ’ m curre ntlyin m yse cond ye ar stud ying M e ch anicalEngine e ring p a APK . First ye ar w as ve rych alle nging b ut Igot th rough it .

I ’ m th ink ing of just th row ing th e tow e lin . Ple ase h e lp m e out . Quit or carryon ?

AQuitting is never an option . We all fail but it ’ s not the end of the road . Get up dust yourself and carry on . There are a number of financial aids that can help you with funding . There are bursaries that the University offers for students in need . Or you could apply for a student loan . So my guy carry on with school , you will reap the benefits of the hard work one day .

In the recent months I haven ’ t been getting my usual monthly allowance and that has been the most difficult . I hardly have enough cash for my groceries or other essentials that I need . But just over a month ago I met this guy that ’ s really cool and actually gets me stuff without me having to ask for them . Problem is he ’ s an older guy and by that I mean he could potentially be named a “ BLESSER ”. He takes me out to fancy places and e-wallets me cash to buy the groceries I need . Should I stick with him or get rid of him and get help elsewhere ? Confused
