VogueMember
good luck and mazal tov on your graduation. let us know how it goes.
VogueMemberoh and also ties dont need to be so expensive and can be bought at target or h and m mens section or other cheaper places. you need eight ties to start and only one new tie a season after that and if you dont wear ties every day only start with five or six. estimated savings $200 a year or more.
VogueMember1. how many white shirts do you really need, you probably need ten at most including three for shabbos. eight slacks and three blazers.
2. you only need to get a haircut every seven weeks.
3.you only need one shul membership.
4. if you really cant afford many of your essentials then you should go to a gemach.
estimated savings: about thirty thousand dollars.
VogueMember“high school was at times really difficult, but we still had a great time together as a class, and I would like to give you a bracha that…
VogueMembermaybe something about the parsha.
VogueMemberI havent been given any offers yet…
VogueMemberright I am trying to get a job it isnt so easy for me because of where I live and the economy. I have a lot of experiences to put on my resume such as high school leadership positions but ita not so easy for me to just go out and volunteer, although I have done that for a few years.
VogueMemberthank you. and yes syag, I do try to do that, I just tend to get paranoid about a lot of stuff.
VogueMemberMAHARAT… Only among the most controversial things going on at the moment…
VogueMemberI know people who boarded in people houses in chicago. The schools can arrange it. Just call them: There is Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov, and Bais Yaakov High School of Chicago. Based on insider knowledge, hanna sacks might be better for you.
VogueMemberunderstandably so, sheidim apparently make people who don’t wet their beds say Asher Yatzar, which in a sleep talkers case, is a bracha levatela.
VogueMembermaybe a kiruv school would be a good idea because they are usually known for better secular education and get a disproportionate amount of donor dollars for resources so they probably get more money for these things (otherwise not supportive parents would want their kids to stay in public school), also have lower tuition rates…
VogueMemberI know its true about both yeshivas accepting public school kids because chicago has a fund that allows public school kids who are shomer shabbos to transfer to jewish day schools without paying tuition. The only reason I was hesitant to go to a Jewish high school initially was the resource program. So, I spent a while looking into all the girls schools I knew of until I found one later on that worked. Since chicago has this wonderful tuition program, that means that there are people who have done it in yeshivas, and get all the assistance they need. It might be harder academically, but the religious schools, from my experience are more understanding than, say solomon schechter or CJHS (in fact many of those families are now sending to hillel torah or arie crown). No child should have to go to public school simply because they are learning disabled, the public schools might offer secular academic support, but the social scene is awful and I know people who were stuck in social skill groups in public school because the schools did not understand that the person was religious and was being teased because they were frum. Yet, these people outside of school were the life of the party among their frum friends. A Jewish child should never have to go through that.
VogueMemberok got it
VogueMemberoffer him a trip to disney world if he tells.
VogueMemberno, but i know people who went there, they loved it…
VogueMemberchicago has great schools for boys, no regents, skokie yeshiva is in skokie so they have more funding for a resource room, and chicago has a huge lubavitch community all over the joint.
Meor HaTorah might not be bad either, much smaller classes, and since they are just state accredited, they aren’t as advanced as other schools. The diploma is still respected though.
Both schools have experience with students who transferred from public schools and are also, behind in Limudei Kodesh.
VogueMemberis he a teenager? if so project extreme might be up his alley.
VogueMemberlol
VogueMemberI know a girl from ny who switched to one of the schools in chicago at the beginning of her junior year because she was not happy with the schools in new york. She just graduated.
VogueMemberyeah!
VogueMemberit will take you through life, without geography, it will be difficult in seminary.
I had issues at an internship because of difficulty adding up numbers, so if I focused on math more I could have done better.
It does apply. Trust me. Sorry if this isn’t the answer you like.
VogueMemberjust look for yeshivos that have regents, that means you will get a normal diploma, but also have resouce rooms. I would say Meor Hatorah, Skokie Yeshiva, WITS.
VogueMembertry out of town high schools like in chicago, atlanta, la. More likely to accept you.
VogueMemberwhy do you need internet?
VogueMemberspend a few hours chatting to your best friend about it, and then the regent will simply feel like a continuation of the conversation.
VogueMemberthink of writing compared to spending hours chatting with your best friend about the essay topic. Not such a bad way to look at it.
VogueMemberbut only because the crc has a big kashrus controversy about going to tcby. There is a kosher dunkin donuts on Devon that will allow you to get as much vanilla ice cream as you want as long as you pay for it, and then in order to burn off all the calories, you will have to walk several miles.
VogueMemberGo to tcby and load up your ice cream bowl with vanilla ice cream at old orchard… no clue.
VogueMemberuhhhhhhhh….. yeah
VogueMemberany association with sheidim for people who do it
VogueMembersame applies to Hollywood celebrities
VogueMemberdefinitely press charges and get the child a therapist. perhaps through a subsidized place such as a federation so the child feels safer going to the therapist.
VogueMemberwhy would you do that?
VogueMemberchromebook with 3g.
VogueMemberI just had to make a trip to a local gemach because of the same issue. I only found two skirts that met my length requirements given my height, but one of them is a pencil skirt that if I sit in a car, might expose part of my leg if I get out even though its duty length, the other one needs to be tailored to make three inches shorter and the waist adjusted.
VogueMemberA few ideas:
Freelancing.
Internships (even if not paid, will still provide valuable experience for your resume).
Working at a seminary office, American seminaries typically are ok to work in while in Israel because they have an office in America.
VogueMemberzk the person who used to post that much is probably very hurt by your comments.
VogueMembernetstick.
VogueMemberjanglo
VogueMembergo to the store and buy jarred dill pickles. Sell them in order to make a $0.10 profit at your store… honestly dude, no clue.
VogueMemberI have depression and I have accomplished a ton despite it. You can also do the same, I know its easier for me to tell you not to be anxious when I myself an anxious about the same thing, but this thread has been an eye opener that other people can assist people with depression towards more rational thinking through loving guidance. I am not saying you are not being rational, but being anxious as part of depression can lead others to perceive these threads as irrational fears.
Bottom line, the key thing you need to look for in someone is a person who will not dismiss these fears, but will rather assist you in overcoming these fears that the rest of the world who has never suffered from depression will not understand.
VogueMemberThere is a school in the five towns called Darchei (Noam?) that caters well to learning differences, there was an article about it in Mishpacha Magazine sometime this past year.

VogueMemberMoishyK said high school.
Assume that Moishy is a boys name.
VogueMemberI don’t feel fake at all, I feel professional, pretty, and like a princess, and I feel much happier when I put it on.
VogueMemberMy galaxy s three won’t let me see outgoing texts… what do I do?
June 5, 2013 3:38 am at 3:38 am in reply to: Comments on Tests – for the high school students #957188VogueMemberI always did it shows that they care and I Also spent a ton of time being proactive so I basically expected the comments and if I didn’t get them but got a bad grade I would speak to the teacher anyway. No regrets I graduated with a 3.0 GPA.
VogueMemberYou will find your bashert, don’t worry about it. If it will end a relationship, then it isn’t meant to be. I wish you much hatzlacha in your endeavors.
VogueMember$200
And I have really bad health insurance, so it covers some medications, but not all of them.
