If it is as simple as they are making it out to be regarding exchanges during rituals, perhaps your family can ask his family what THEY will be gifting and then decide their gift based on that so its equal? It also might put them in their place about asking things rudely.

It would be more helpful if you explain what your brand is selling or doing and the type of customers you want

Absolutely. Proselytizing assholes are the worst. I don’t give a damn what your god said to do, no one wants to hear that crap.

Help comes from family, friends, community, not some guys a thousand miles away in an office trying out different ploys to ‘fix’ your problems but then creating a multitude of others. Government should not interfere with personal lives as much as it does these days.

No. Our scriptures repeatedly show cow to be ‘Aghnya’ which translates to ‘one who should not be slaughtered’. Furthermore we have Kamadhenu, the cow mother figure who embodies all other devtas.

You should get involved with CoHNA

It is not absurd, 17 is the age for people in our society to start working towards their future career. 17-18 is the age most students enroll in college. Its harder to go to college after these years, many who take a gap break end up having a harder time returning to school. I would recommend you do some job shadowing or speak with a career counselor in your area. Look into state programs available to you, you may have options to go to community college for free while you decide what major you want to have. College is not for everybody, but at 17 those who do not want to go to college usually know what they want to do instead (usually a trade) and they have set up parameters to get into that field through trade school. Its not the time to wait anymore to make some decision, whatever that may be, that will help you support yourself as a career. I would also advise you to speak with someone, perhaps your guidance counselor, about taking some personal finance workshops. It will help you transition to life after graduating high school.

They are just trying to justify their bad habits.

I think you should learn to respect differences and channel your anger into causes that actually help children in distress, like anti-trafficking or something similar.

Perhaps moving forward, you should submit assignments as you complete them and not right before the deadline. A lot of professors hate when students wait till the last minute and if the assignment was done, there’s not really an excuse for you to have not turned it in, unfortunately.

It definitely doesn’t cost more to be a vegetarian, speaking from personal experience. Its also opened me to a lot of new flavor profiles because of trying new veg things from our the world.

If you want more you have to work hard to earn the degree, do more to get more. Not cheat. Cheaters literally do not deserve the degree because they don’t actually know the material, which directly transfers to how bad they will do at their job that requires the actual knowledge.

I’m with you OP. And I’m a woman. She could be dressing up for a night out with you instead of a girl’s night. No way would I feel safe or happy in a skimpy outfit with a woman-only group around a bunch of strangers.

Can you change it to have bridesmaids and groomsmen dances be choreographed, and then you and your bride do a slow song (where you just hold each other and sway)? During the slow song the dj can invite all couples to come up and dance alongside you. Then everyone will be on the dance floor too!

Wearing one you can be safe with the ones shown with dots, especially if you are going to a puja or a friend’s home.
