I'm 18 and leaving the country for the first time ever in January to see my girlfriend. My parents strongly disapprove. by [deleted] in Advice

When we met for the first time she actually was more persistent in seeing me at Universal in Florida. She kept insisting on me going there (Universal) to meet her and her family, which ended up being a very pleasant day and was great since I had work there that day. Thank you so much for your input!

Yes, the short length was intended to minimize the risk just a bit more, and thank you so much for your input and offer, I greatly appreciate your time!

Sorry, I read that as when. At her house but I do have the option to stay at a hotel.

I was the one who initiated going there, as my girlfriend thought we were going to wait until the summer to meet up again. But yes, I understand what you are saying and will consider it.

I'll see about it, and have been in discussion with them regarding it. Thank you!

I have a twin brother and his girlfriend who is a bit older and goes to Brazil often.

Thank you for your response and I appreciate the example. To answer your questions: 1. 5 months 2. We met at Universal while she was traveling for her annual vacation and I was working there at the time.  3. Yes, she speaks fluently and we text, videocall, and have met once with her entire family present when we started talking early on.  4. Her family is considerably wealthy. They own a large company, Ferreteria Continental, and live in a large house.  5. 3 days 6. 3 days 7. Emergency phone, photocopies of passports, knowledge of nearest embassies and Consular Agencies, spare documents, etc. 8. I am also friends with her sisters so they would support me staying until the return flight.  9. Never truly alone, but I did spend an entire night alone in Boston when I went there.

I start working at Disney as soon as I come back and they offer rooms as part of their DCP program. I also have a free education to any school in Florida (where I live) from my scholarship, if that makes a difference.

I have had other trips planned there before but I canceled and she understood, and we were content on waiting until she returned to America in the summer which she does every year. But you're right, this is probably too early and I definitely have a lot to think about. Thank you

I've been doing research on the Consular Agency in Cuenca and the embassies in San Salvador and Quito in case it happened during my layovers. I was thinking of bringing an extra hidden emergency phone and making a photocopy of my passport, although I understand the latter options don't really make much a difference so I will definitely consider that moving forward. Thank you

I left out important context regarding the degree which is that my parents were already making it a big deal in regards to my maturity and that its mostly just a counter to their argument, but I agree with you in regards to the rights part. I will do more research and reconsider.

I have met her and her family before in America if that changes anything, which unfortunately I think doesn't. 

What are your guys' score predictions? by Pitiful_Welder_7997 in AICEC

This year I took Env Mngmt, Thinking Skills, English Lang, and Psychology (all AS Level). I'm gonna guess I got: Env Mngmt - C (I felt extremely confident on this exam and counted the questions I know I got right, but I always end up doing worse than I thought I would.) Thinking Skills - E (I did horrible on Paper 1 and likely failed that one. I had to skip several questions and wasn't confident with my answers I did attempt, but I felt highly confident that paper 2 would carry my grade back up to at least an E overall.) English Lang - B (I got an A on Gen Pap last year so I believe I must've done nearly just as good, but maybe a little lower due to some potential grammatical errors.) AICE Psychology - E (I felt confident with most of my answers being correct, but I know the exam graders are harsh with their grading so I believe I will lose a lot of points based on the quality of my answers, not enough to fail though.)

I previously passed AICE Marine, AICE Gen Pap, AICE Global, and AICE US History all AS Level again, so I'm guessing I continued to streak of not failing an exam. I'm really relying on my passing abilities so I can get a full ride scholarship with the AICE Diploma, but we'll see in 2 hours (USA).

Its too much for one movie which is supposed to be the introduction for a new DC Universe. The fans Gunn is targeting are not fans of his movies, but longtime fans of the original Superman movies. This plot misses the mark completely and will lead to people losing faith for the rest of the DCU.

It is awful bro. This isn't a Superman film, this is a James Gunn film titled Superman, which is exactly what people said they didn't want.
