Thanks for the experience and comments !

School is a challenging place to live correct principals of the gospel. People gossip, swear, take God's name in vain, dress immodestly, make fun of sacred things. How do you keep making correct choices when there is an ocean of evil around you ? What keeps you moving forward ? What inspires you to make the choices necessary to live with Heavenly Father again ? In my area, we have very few members and this yr I am very lucky to have two classes with members of the church. (math and a photography class). Having members in my classes helps me to keep the spirit with me. Once I see YM and YW in class or in the hall way at school and exchange a smile, I remember that I am a Daughter of God and I am loved. I know that Heavenly Father has surrounded me with wonderful people and by doing so has helped me grow in the church- w/o those few YM and YW in my classes I really would feel utterly alone. What is the hardest aspect of the gospel ? In school how do you keep doing the right things ?

People in my stake provide there on rides or carpool. It is the parents or familes responsibility to arrange rides....some dances are an hour away or more- thats a long way to go if your not chaperoning....and people in my ward can live up to 45 mins away from each other....that plus the car ride is 2 hours of driving just one way!

i wasn't looking for sympathy. And when i tried talking about this they ignored me. Before i even got my laptop we had a discussion about how because i bought it no one else can use it or touch it w.o my permission.

a locket. Lockets are keepers !

I am not a parent however I would love others parents views on this subject. I bought my own laptop that i take care of and basically protect with my life. A few days ago, I my mom asked me to do the dishes and vacuum while she went out shopping. I vacuumed and studied for my AP World History test. The next day I cam home from school to find my laptop- the one I paid for with my own money- stolen..or as she puts it " taken away." She hid it ( i found it that day by accident...not a very good spot) and tried to use it a a bribe. I took it back and put it in my own hiding spot. Frankly this tactic disgust me. If she has a problem wouldn't be better to discus it then acting like a 5 yr old and trying to bribe me to get what she wants ? I don't regret not doing the dishes- I needed to study. My laptop. Mine. I paid for it. If shes going to bribe me should could have used something else....but frankly my parents don't buy me things they can use as a bribe...I guess they could bribe me with dinner or laundry privileges but frankly that's also stupid. I am so angry.

my aunt is....the Webers...they have no kids though

I wore all tank tops and short skirts and 2 piece "kinys" (bikinis) when i was younger. When i entered kindergarten i stopped (our school said no tank tops or shorts above fingers anyway). I have never had a problem with modesty. My own children will probably not be wearing such things though. I will buy sleeveless dresses (thick strap..not the spaghetti strap)that they can were with a sweater or shirt underneath when they are out. I see nothing wrong with a 3 year old wearing a sleeveless dress. (15 btw)
