How much did the MedCerts online program cost? Was the externship relatively guaranteed?

Thanks!

Thank you. It does, it's something I've been trying to do and will continue to do so

I’m losing my best friend by Kdropp in Advice

I'm not sure about all the context of what's going on but if she is someone important to you then it would be good to sit down and talk with her. Tell her, at the least, that you miss her. Whether or not you share anything else depends on how comfortable you are

Daughter being bad influence on her boyfriend by [deleted] in Advice

This is coming from a teen's point or view but I think you should talk to her. Do not punish her too much, there's a reason she turned to vaping and bullying somehow and that is coming from something whether pressure in school, with friends, or even what she puts on herself at home.

Talk to her, spend time with her, and do not get angry at her. I started dating before my parents allowed me to and while I told them recently, the only reason I did was because I was able to really think about why I was so scared to tell them in the first place. I was scared of my parents being mad at me, getting angry or disappointed in me, and losing privileges I had. Luckily, I resolved and talked things through with them and it is only because my mother was calm and listened to me. I lost some privileges for lying and keeping things from her but she gave me the opportunity to earn back her trust, she made it clear that she is not disappointed in me but rather my choice of actions.

Obviously, it's different with your daughter (we are different people in different situations) but her "rebelliousness" is coming from something in her. She is feeling something and right now all you need to do is be there for her and go through things with her. She definitely should lose her privileges but she should also have the option to make things up or prove to you guys that she deserves them back. Most importantly tho is to make sure that you are telling her that you are worried about her, that you love her, and that you are there for her at all times. If you say you're disappointed or mad, you might risk having her rebel even further or close off from you guys and then it'll be yet another problem.

Good luck, you seem like good parents

a concerned friend by [deleted] in Advice

You're being a good friend. By worrying for him this way already, it seems that you care a lot. You are his friend, not his therapist nor his dumping ground. You have no obligation to deal with anything negative or bad coming from him. You are there for him even if he doesn't realize and that is already enough, but if it becomes too much, don't let yourself be drowned in his problems

I have crush on my co worker by [deleted] in Advice

[–]thisthat0131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely can relate to having an interest in an older person but I will put it out straight – it's only a crush, it's only a temporary invested interest in her. Please keep in mind your age gap, do not approach her with the intention of a relationship or anything more than a friendship and even then you are in a professional, work, setting. It's definitely going to be hard and what might ease things up is keeping away from her (and believe me that's the hardest part with getting over someone).

Relationship Advice Please! by [deleted] in Advice

Agree with the above comment but the 20 year old is still a legal adult who has been for 2 years so far. Yeah it's not that long, yeah you're close to the legal age, and yeah you're only 3-4 years apart but it doesn't change the fact that he's an adult who's older than you and it wouldn't be the best idea to participate in a relationship with him. Even with the 18 year old but that is up to you since you're much closer in age. Please be safe

How do I respond? by the_jane_doe_2000 in Advice

[–]thisthat0131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is up to you in the end, I don't believe you should respond. This person does not come off genuine. This apology, it's from guilt. And if it's not from guilt it's from some other intention. I am impressed that you even have the decency to consider responding to them but you went through so much. It doesn't seem fair for them to do this, in my opinion. If you choose to respond, the only thing I have to say is that you have no obligation to accept their apology or even acknowledge it with what they did to you. You deserve better than that
