Nogrick Lyf Ling Speaking of wich, if anyone knows what a negative exponant would do, could they tell me. I was abotu to learn that the day before I had to leave that school. A negative exponent means that you make the number into a fraction. Say if you have 5^2 it would be 25. If you have 5^-2 it would be 1/25. So work your exponents out regularly and then put it in the denominator of a fraction. But the numerator will always be one. I hope that helps you out a bit... sweatdrop

We probably know more about your life now because we were trying to figure out ways to help.
But you're welcome to vent, rant, whatever if you're not feeling that well. You have several ears willing to listen.

Hey Lyf, origionally, I was just surfing around in teh guild and then I remembered that I drew you last night I think, and that I wanted to tell you about it in your thread since you prolly weren't gunna visit mine again anytime soon. I drew it in my sketchbook instead of with my tablet, and it'll prolly be scanned in tomorrow some time. I'll be sure to post it in my thread and the Art Drop Off thread so you can find it.
Now that I'm here though, and read through your thread, I can help but offer my story of my parents divorce. I don't know why you're parents are going to court (I didn't read that thuroughly) but I remember when I was in elementary school and my parents went to court over custody of my sister and I. It wasn't really traumatizing then, but these days I don't have much tollerance for the topic.
I read that someone said that since you're 13 you should be able to make your own decisions about where you want to live. I'm sure that 13 is the legal age to make that decision, but I'm not quite sure.
Me making my own decisions about where I want to live is what created all the problems for me, but I made my first decision when I was really little - elementary school aged, like I said. The judge asked me rediculous questions and in the end made a really stupid decision about where my sister and I were to live. Don't let the judges pressure you into answering certain things. Tell the truth - that's not to say that I think you'll lie.
The judge asked me, and I remember this quite vividly, where I wanted to live. Because I was living with my mom at the time of course I answered that I'd rather live with my dad. I mean come on at that age, who wants to live with the parent that makes you clean your room and eat your vegitables, right? He never asked me why I wanted to live with my dad though, and I think that was his biggest mistake. I'm sure if he knew that the reason I didn't want to live with my mom was because I didn't wanna clean my room, then I would probably have been with my mom my entire life up until I moved out for college.
Anyway, I'm sorry to keep rambling on and on, but I wanted you to know from someone who's been through all this before, so, you might have a better chance at picking the right place.
Good luck with your schooling. It sounds, to me, like you're on the right track with your life, and that you're a very bright kid. heart It's not often you get to see people like you doing the right thing.

Wow. Didn't exspect a book. But I like to read, so that was fun.
Yeah, I'm sure if I put this, but last time they did this I was 2/3/4, no one's sure, for some reason. But I'm pretty sure it was over when I was four, because the apartment my mom and I moved into I didn't live in long before going to Kindergar[d/t]en. And my mom tells me that the had me go to a psycologist, instead of seeing hte judge. I remember being in a psycologist's office and my mom talkign to him. And when she brought up somethign I didn't want to hear abotu I'd lift my hands up like I was stretching, but I was really covoring my ears. And every now and then I would let them down, but if they were still no the subject, I would put them up. I also remember I tried to talk as little as possible while I was in there. So he really didn't get anythign out of me. Though he had a really sweet office.
My dad tells me that the only reason the judge put me with my mom (It was a Custodial/Non Custodial type deal. Dad got me Wen. and everyother weekend, mom go tme the rest) was because I was young and a girl, and girls needed to grow up with mothers. And my mom tells me that he planted a joint for her and he took me away for three months. And my dad tells me that the judge gave me ot him for three months. But I find that hard to believe since they both say that he was sleeping in a different house everynight.
Oh, god. Whatelse was I gonna say. Ah yes. My nefew, who's 15 (June 23), he's like the closest thing to a brother I have. And he's the only person in my family I actually like. He was talking about his friend a few years ago, and he said somthing like "Chris said that 'blah blah blah' " And I was like "Ugh, I hate the word Chris (Dad's name)" And he goes "Everyone one else hates him too, ever since he did that" "Did what?" "I'll wait till you're older, Candace(My sister, 35) told me but she told me not to tell" "Teeeeeell me?" "No"
So there's somethign. And no one will tell me anythign on that. Argh. Anyways.
They go to court today and my mom's gonna try to get the judge to let me talk ot him or somethign. I didn't get to when they went a few months ago, but I mean... now they've got to atleast listen to me.
AND. I'm almost done coloring. Probably be done tommarow.

GOOD BYE PEOPLE. *tears everywhere*

It lamost brings to to tears hearing about this between your parents. If you're sure that you know what would be best for yourself, then don't let either of your parents try to tell you otherwise. YOu deserve the best for yourself, don't worry about your parents.
I hate it when people try to tell me that I'm not old enough to hear something. It's always bullshit (pardon my language but it is). Ever since I decided on my own that I wanted to be with my mom, my dad always tried to tell me that I wasn't old enough to make that decision for myself. When I asked him why he said I wasn't old enough to know.
Apparently he was wrong because I've been living with my mom for four years now, and I know this is where I was supposed to be from the beginning.
About girls being with moms just because they're girls. I'm not too sure about that. So long as you get visiting rights, I don't think it matters which parent you're with. A child needs both parents equally. I hate my parents for ever splitting up. I don't remember what it's like to have a mom and a dad at the same time.
I'm stopping there. I don't wanna make myself cry. sweatdrop I'm real sappy, everything makes me cry.
I really hope for the best for you. If I was religious in any way I'd be praying for you, but I'm not. haha. heart

I still really hope that you get your chance to speak to the judge to make your own decision.
I'm also still sorry that you have to go through all this crap. You'd think that parents would be smart enough to deal with each other for another 5 years for until after their kids move out of the house or something so you don't have to go through this.
Now, I don't want to brag, or be rude, or rub anything in. I just want you to understand that. But I consider myself fortunate that both of my parents have been together for years before I was born, and are still together even now. I have also told them both, that if they EVER decided to divorce, I would disown them. I have thought about it time and time again about what it'd be like if my parents were divorced.
Hell. That's what it would be. My mom needs someone to always be with her. She can't stand it when my dad is gone for 1 night. Even though she has to deal with it since my dad works a lot of nights for 13-18 hours straight anyways... as for my dad, I don't think he'd be able to find anyone to deal with him like my mom does.
As for who I would live with if that ever happened (when I was younger). I'd live with my grandma. My parents could deal with the problems and issues that arose. Where I would have lived, if that ever happened when I was a kid, would be my full decision and it would have been right. Because mostly, I wouldn't want to deal wiht the crap my parents would have been going through. I wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of it. I would want and mostly need a secure place where everything would be peaceful instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Sorry this is so long, but you really deserve to make your own decisions. Now I've managed to get myself mad... not good. But, thank goodness my parents are still together. And as a last note, your parents are selfish for doing this to you. If they even really cared, they'd try to stay together for another few years until you were older and could start caring for yourself. Also, you'd be at an age where people would really start listening.
Again, I hope everything goes well.

You guys are such good advice givers. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to make decently long posts on other issues besides art.
I agree that children with divorced parents, girl, should live with their mother. I ended up being with my dad since I was four, which led to me being a sort of tom boy. It's not fair now that I think of it, because I should have been with my mom.
I hope your situation turns out well for the best, and that the right desicisons are made.

Ish on mah old computer. [Humps lovely computer]
Where to begin, where to begin.
Well I'll wait til AOL finishes loading the past post preview...
I hate dial up....
Ah, okay.
H&S:
Yeah, it's total bullshit. They talk to you like an adult, but punish oyu like a child. [I consider not telling someone somethign they want to know a form of punishment]
And it's fun to bring people to tears. ~.^
Yeah, after awhile it's not like there's anythign diffeent other than your parents being apart. I remember being like 6 years old with this suitcase that would shake on the asphalt outside my dads hows and it would make my hand tickle. Plus, most other people have divorsed parents now, so.
Alec:
First off, I might Photoshop you while I'm here.
1st Parah: If someone else doesn't let me I'll ride my bike to the court house. I mean, s**t I know where it is.
2nd Parah: You start like.. carrying everything you own in your backpack/pockets.
3rd Parah: If your parents love eachother then, yeah, its' a good thing. When I was little I used to do those penny wishes at this one resteraunt, and my mom would ask me what I wished for and I'd say for her and my dad to be together again. And they always told me that they didn't love eachother anymore and that I'd hate it more if they were together. Wich now I see is probably true since they can't help but argue.
4th/so on: Meh, atleast this is teaching me how to pick my men.
Mello:Aren't they great.
Ravager:Thanks. <3

LOL. Yep, it will definetely help you pic your men.
But, here's a little something. Just because you're feeling blue, or feel left out. Don't just go with a guy because of those reasons or because you 'kinda' like him. I've seen too many girls/women get hurt because of this reason. I never had my first boyfriend until about 4 months before I turned 19. Long time, yes? Well, it's because I was picky and right now, I'm happy wiht Eric. We've been together since November, almost 8-9 months now. Also, I know that I will NEVER regret being with him. Which is something you ALWAYS want to look for, or hope for.
Overall though, I'm praying that the right decisions are made.

Happily in love with my girlfriend, thank you very much. heart
I'm very careful with my relationships though. I know from Candace's deal that you should wait along time before having kids with a guy, even if you're married, and from my mom I know not to get pregnate with a boyfriend.
