A. First situation.

I have been with my Fiance for almost four years, We are going to get married next year but, there are a couple of Concerns I have: one is the fact That I never talks about his feelings, I keeps everything inside of him. Sometimes I have trouble with expressing his excitement acerca things also. He never buys me flowers or takes me out to dinner. He Says That He Does not know why, but I've never thinks of things like that. I do not know if this is a side of depression Affect or, maybe, he is sick of me. He says he loves me That and That He Wants to Marry Me. If this is true, what is his problem?

B. Second situation

I'm one of those guys who have "the quite normal" problem: I'm in love with a girl, but I do not know what to do. I have already had a crush on some girls, never With Any success, but this is something different. My problem is that I'm actually too cowardly to tell her anything. I know that she likes me and we're very, very good friends. We've Known Each Other for About three years, and our friendship has Become Constantly better. Often we get into quarrels, but we always make up. Another problem is That We Often Talk About problems with each other, and so I know she is having problems with her boyfriend (who I think is not good for her). We meet almost every day. We Always Have very much fun together, but is it really so Difficult to love someone who has been a good chum to you Until Now?

For Friendship or Love?

My family do not get along. It's like we all hate each other. It's my mom, me, my two brothers and a sister. I am the oldest. We all have Certain problems: My mom wants to quit smoking so she is really stressed out. I am really selfish (I just can not help it). One of my brothers is too bossy. He thinks he is better than the rest of us and That he is The Only One Who Helps my mom. My other brother is kind of abusive and depressed. He always starts fights and he's really spoiled (my mom does not yell at him for doing things wrong and when to she does, I laughs at her) My sister (who's 7) makes messes and does not clean them up. I really want to help because i do not like being upset all of the time and having everyone hate everyone else. Even When we start to get along, someone will say something to upset someone else. Please help me and my family.

Please Help Me and My Family

Female, 15

I strongly advise you to talk to them and organizen so that everyone can help each other, so you can better everything in your home



D. Fourth situation

I hate school. I can not stand my school so I skip it almost every day. Luckily, I am a smart person and I'm in all of the advanced classes and do not have reputation as a rebel. Only the people who really know me know about my strange feelings. My parents do not care - They Do not mention it even if I do not go to school. What I end up doing is sleeping all day and then staying up all night talking to my girlfriend. I get behind in my work and when i try to go back to school I get a bunch of crap from my teachers and friends. I just get so depressed when i think about it. I have given up on trying to go back and now am Considering dropping out altogether, but I really do not want to do that because i realize it would ruin my life. I do not want to go back at all but I also do not want it to ruin my life. I am so confused and I have really tried to go back and just can not take it. What should I do? Please help.

THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE

the happiest day of my life. It was after I graduate high school, I could make one of my dreams. Demonstrating to my family and friends who could. We celebrated a lot that day with my colleagues and to last several years studying with them was like part of my family, the end of grade we all went out to celebrate and take all dancing and celebrating we lasted nearly three days, besides being with them was with my family and my girlfriend and it was a great day and I could share with everyone important to me. Similarly knew it was the beginning of new things and different goals that would be achieved thereafter

THE STORY OF THIS SONG, IN MY OWN WORDS IS

He's waiting for someone to give her love ue ncondiacional the same way he wants to deliver. but loneliness makes you doubt whether it feels so real that comom erson is what feels the fear and overwhelm reaches.

The image shows how a parallel world in which animals may do what we do with them other almentarse with our parts. It could be like an image that expresses intolerance we have about valuing animals and other living

Rosh Hashanah - 17th September

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year festival. It lasts two days.

It commemorates the creation of the world.

Rosh Hashanah is also a judgement day, when Jews believe that God balances a person's good deeds over the last year against their bad deeds, and decides what the next year will be like for them.

It's a time for people to think about their priorities in life and to reflect on what has been achieved in the past year.

It's a time of asking for forgiveness for wrongdoings (sins)

It's a chance for Jews to ask questions about their actions throughout the year.

Questions considered during Rosh Hashanah include:

What's the most meaningful thing in my life?

Who in my life means the most to me? How often do I let them know this? 

What are the most significant things I've achieved in the past year?

What do I hope to achieve next year and in my life generally?

 

In the synagogue

A lot of time is spent in the synagogue during Rosh Hashanah.

One of the synagogue rituals for Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the Shofar, a ram's horn trumpet. A hundred notes are sounded in a special rhythm.

The sound of the shofar starts a ten-day period known as the 'Days of Awe', which ends with the solemn festival of Yom Kippur.

After the service a special meal is eaten at home, including:
apples dipped in honey, a symbol of the sweet New Year that each Jew hopes lies ahead
a sweet carrot stew called a tzimmes is often served
Hallah (or Challah) bread in a round loaf, rather than the plaited loaf served on the Sabbath, so as to symbolise a circle of life and of the year
often a pomegranate on the table because of a tradition that pomegranates have 613 seeds, one for each of the commandments that a Jew is obliged to keep.


4. ANSWER THE NEXT QUESTION AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE LINKS I MENTIONED BEFORE.


A. Why is not Rosh Hashanah Celebrated in January?

Rosh Hashanah, the month in which God created the world and it is from this celebration when counting the years. On this day, was created the first man, Adam.

B. How people celebrate?

they celebrate Rosh Hashanah with 6 sweet foods such as apples dipped in honey and honey cake, as the desire for a sweet year. Some families also celebrate with symbolic foods like the head of a fish, pomegranates and carrots.

The head of a fish is for us to be "like the head and not the tail." This is a symbol of having a year that we're on top and not the bottom. Pomegranates are a symbol of abundance. Have you ever tried to count how many seeds are in a pomegranate? Too many to count. We wish you health and happiness for the new year, as many good things as there are seeds in a pomegranate.

C. Where is Rosh Hashanah Celebrated?

Rosh Hashanah occurs on the first and second days of Tishri. In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means literally "head of the year" or "first of the year." Rosh Hashanah is commonly known as the Jewish New Year


D. When it is this celebration?

Jewish Year 5772: sunset September 28, 2011 - nightfall September 30, 2011

I learned that the comparative are utilized more-er if the word comes from one speaks making each syllable, but if you come from two or but you speak making each syllable they add it dwell before the verb and there is like happy. the comparative most - est if you have a syllable is added most to to them he is added est but if you have but they add it before the verb.
