Today's Story on ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Is change an important part of your life? It is integral! It is like the wind in nature; let me explain: GREAT BARRIER REEF Most people would be aware of the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1, 800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colourful, " a traveller observed. "Why is this?" The guide gave an interesting answer: "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves, storms - surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces." Then he added this telling note: "That's the way it is with every living organism." (Unknown Author). That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. If you want to feel the wind through your hair a little more often, then be ready for the changes in life. These changes are more certain than even the very things we expect to happen. "Be good at dealing with problems and with change. Little is more certain to happen, both today and tomorrow!" QUOTE: "Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs." (Dr. Maxwell Maltz, 1899 - 1975, Author).

Would i have to pay for my A- levels as i am 18?
Hello guys,
I have been really stupid. The first time I took AS, I was not motivated. The second time, due to personal injury reasons, I failed A levels. So, I was wondering if I could go back to doing A levels again or do i have no hope? I currently do 5 subjects at Alevels, am in the student union and work as a receptionist in the college but I don't know if they will accept me back or not. If I have to pay, how much would it be to retake 4 a- levels again/year?

How do I lose all this weight?
First off, here's the situation.
I'm in my early twenties, and I have serious confidence issues due to my weight. I'm about 5ft9 and 13 stone. I really don't like my weight. I've tried everything to get it off, but in the end I get unmotivated and end up back in square one again.
I'm despirate to lose weight a natural way. I don't want to 'go undert the knife' or end up with an eating disorder again. there's no good gyms in my area, but I do have acess to a bike and an exercise machine.
How could I stay motivated? What could I do to lose weight? And last of all, how long do you think it wil take to tget to my trarget weight of about 11 stone?

How do I tell my parents I want to switch to a different University degree?
I'm a 21 year old male. Currently studying a Business with Accounting Bachelors Honours Degree in England (I won't say which Uni). I hold 280 UCAS points. Furthermore, after thinking about it deeply for the last month, I intend to study an English Language & Communication Bachelors Honours Degree from September via an Internal Transfer.
Now here's the problem. I hate the degree I'm doing. In the back of my head, I only chose to do this degree because I've always been too afraid to stand up to my Dad and tell him that I wish to make MY own decisions myself, and that I'm no longer a kid. He doesn't exactly MAKE me do business, but if I told him that I wanted to study media for example, he'd just tell me something like "no, forget it, media is not a good degree", and go onto emphasise every single possible reason why I should do Accounting (i.e. good job opportunities).
Now, you might be thinking, "for goodness sake, you're 21, why don't you just man up". But, it's not that easy. My Dad is Nigerian, and he used to beat me as a child whenever I misbehaved, thus consequently, I'm actually scared of him - though I don't really show it. (Laugh if you will, but I'm very serious).
My Dad and Mum don't pay my fees as I'm supported by a student loan. I'm meant to be revising for my 3 remaining modular exams as I type, but I can't even bring myself to do it. Normally, when I dislike something, I still try and do my best (e.g. Science in Secondary School). But Accounting is a whole different kettle of fish - I just hate it so much that I'm probably already on my way to failing this first semester (only passed 2 out of 7 modules so far).
And to add insult to injury, if by some miracle I managed to stand up to my Dad (My Mum is not a problem), and by some miracle he approved of my plans, and also the course tutor accepts me...I'll have to pay roughly 250% higher tuition fees than what I would have paid if I was applying this time last year (all fees go up in the UK from 2012).
I'm actually living away from home for the first time (since January), and thus, I'd be having more time to study. But how do I motivate myself to study for something I hate doing (Rhetorical).
I'm aware of the fact that by transferring to a different degree, I've essentially thrown nearly £9000 out the window (student loan), and wasted a WHOLE year, not to mention the fact that everyone in my life will think of me as a layabout. But at the same time I know I just can not continue any longer. I don't want to be miserable for the next 50 years of my life doing something I hate - but I just can't muster up the courage to face my Dad.
I'm 100% sure of this, as I've spent the last 1 month thinking about it thoroughly. I just want some advice and encouragement, if any. Please.

What is it thats wrong with me, is this because Ive no boyfriend?
Im 26, female and have never had a boyfriend. I dont really drink/socialise much im more of an introver who does sport most evenings. The thing is although ive always enjoyed my own company Ive felt really low a lot and cry on my own at night etc cause i want someone to be close too (sounds soppy i know). Ive had a crush on this much older man who goes to my sports club for years i didnt expect anything to come of it but i just enjoyed his company he thought like me etc, doesnt want to get married to anyone and knows the importance of exercise. Just knowing id train with him regular made my like 200% better its the only thing i looked forward too. He gave up training with me though i see him now and again but he doesnt train with me he said he is doing his own thing and has had enough of the group he trains with not being motivated (ie us).
I turn up everytime in the hope that hes there and try to 'impress' him by showing how commited i am but hes known me for 4 years and has just got bored. It might sound odd but i find it really difficult to accept I dont show that im needy at all im quiet around him and dont want him to know i feel like this so know one knows that i feel like this. My family just think i feel low for other reasons.
Reading between the lines though i think its because i really want someone to be close to ie a boyfriend and he just happened to distract me from that etc. I dont really attract guys though i tried online dating about 3 years ago and didnt have feelings for the guy so gently let him down.
He started basically telling others that Id knocked his confidence because i was one of the ugliest girls yet rejected him. He said that he thought he was out of my legue so couldnt understand why he got rejected. I ust didnt have feelings for him though and knew it was wrong to lead him on, to be honest i was still obessing in my head over this sports man lol so didnt really want a relationship.
I just want advice, I cant get rid of this low feeling Im ashamed to say it but i want someone to be close to. Guys have said in the past that i look really young (about 12 - 14) it doesnt help that im only 4ft 11 but I never seem to know or meet any guys. All my evenings are taken up with keeping fit im in sports clubs but despite making the effort guys seem to ignore me. Im at uni studying nursing and its really hard doing the work when im feeling low most nights, im not depressed or anything its just because ive no boyfriend I think. Sometimes I wish i didnt exist id rather feel nothing than this suffocating empty feeling.
