WHAT'S WRONG WITH NOT KNOWING AN AnSWER???
Sometimes (actually alot of times) people expect you to know something, even though, unless your some supernatural sort of person who can know things without being taught them or told them or have had some sort of teaching used on you to implant the information in your brain! Okay, sometimes peole don't pay attention. But seriously, why do people (i.e. parents) always expect you to know something when they have'nt taught you it, your school hasn't taught you it, some random guy who lives on the street near the corner shop SURE hasn't taught you it! Who do they think taught you the thing? A ghost??? And once you don't know the answer either one of two things can happen, and mainly the second thing happens:
1. They blame the school saying "Oh that school!!! What do they teach you these days? How to read??? You're in highschool!!! You should of learned that in well, pre-school!!!"
Or the second thing:
2. They will blame you for not listening/not paying attention/sleeping whilst they were teaching you it/not telling them that you didn't know that (even though you just told them) and finally, my favorite, not having a long enough attention span to take in the information (even though you DO and they simply just HAVN'T TAUGHT YOU IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Why do people expect you to know E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!

Tell or Not?
I'm CONFUSED!
If you find out that something bads going to happen to a friend, something that they may or may not want to know is going to happen to them, should you tell them??? I mean honestly, if you find out something, that's going to happen to a friend, would you tell them??? I think it's times like that that you're supposed to put yourself in the other persons shoes (metaphorically!) and ask yourself, if you were that person, would you want to know before it happened? Or would you want to wait, and just let it come by, and not start the grieving process before it happens.
The thing about it is, that it's never the same answer ALL the time, it always changes depending on whether something can be done about it or not. And sometimes, even if something can be done, sometimes people just don't want to know. They just want the thing (the problem) to come by on it's own time, and let him/herself deal with it, AFTER it's happened.
That's one of the reasons lifes so confusing; YOU CAN'T READ MINDS!
