5- Is there anything you can suggest to relieve some stress?
6- And is there any new movies that you would recommend? :rolleyes: Just a-wonderin'!
Might help me unwind... Usually does anyhow!

1- Number one, be supportive, thats always the best thing you can do. Second try to help her as much as you can with anything, even taking care of the little stuff for her would be a big help. And show her that you love her.
2- Don't move out unless you can handle it. Its not cheap and its not easy living on your own or even with a roommate or two. If you feel that you need to move out, then go ahead and do it, just be prepared to work your ass off for it. Being independent isn't easy.
3- Sleeping on a couch isn't that bad, you could be sleeping on the floor. Just deal with it until you can get something better, its not really that big of a deal. You'll get used to it.
4- Since your 18 i'm guessing that you are a senior, which means that your almost done. Try to keep at it if its possible, if you find that its not, then go for the GED. Just think of it as a race, your allready in the home stretch, and who would drop out of the race that close to the finish line?
5- Smoke a big fat joint! That always relieves me of stress, or if your not into that do something that you love to do, play a game, read a book, watch a movie. If it gets too bad there is always somebody that you can talk to, talk to your counselor, your principle, a teacher you look up to, or your mom. Talking about it normally alleviates stress and helps you consider your options, and helps you to find solutions. Just don't drink to relieve stress, because that will just be a crutch, and if you use the crutch to much, your legs will get weak and you'll need it all the time just to walk. (Obviously its not a crutch but you know what I mean)
6- Not that I can think of at the moment, though my brain isn't working at maximum efficiency at the moment because I'm half drunk at the moment and sobering up.
And remember, if life gets you down, stare at a clown! :p can you tell me where that quote is from?
