| Have you tried taking your brother to a music show or something? It sounds like he wants to make up. If he is having a string of bad relationships, it can take his mind off of things, and the shows are something you enjoy. If it gives you a chance to bond, and it could help both of you (reducing you... |

| I generally found the transition between middle school and high school difficult. I had this one teacher that I just couldn't stand, who always called me out when I was upset. Calling me out, in front of the class, just made things worse. |

| I was born premature and an aspie. My mom had me in all kinds of therapy, some of which I only recently learned was therapy. Like how my sister and I had this game involving an exercise ball, where we would roll it around as fast as we could while wrestling each other. The first one to take their ha... |

| I have a strong aversion to smoothies, blackberries, bananas, yogurt and spaghetti. Smoothies because they taste like fruits, but are thick and cloying and otherwise smooth. It's like drinking vomit. Blackberries, I just don't like the woody part in the center. The taste is fine. Bananas are a smell... |

| So, I met my mentor while still in HS, and was recruited to the Vice Chancellor's research team a year before graduation. Once in college, my mentor started teaching me how to do research- in hindsight, very badly. In short, she taught me one machine, a semester late, and while I was working on a pr... |

I have a talent for patterns and codes.
I can learn languages, mathematics and musical instruments very easily, and anything branching off from these. I also have a reputation for being an efficient code breaker. |

| I wanted to take martial arts, but my family could never afford lessons. I've been learning how to box, instead. You have to practice a lot to build up your speed, aim and strength, but the actual moves in boxing are simple. For the most part, it's strategy and hard work that wins a fight. My parent... |

Sometimes I can remember the emotions I felt a few hours or days ago, but most of the time I can't. A lot of the t... |
