    How much harder is college/university than high school?

    Do you know whether this is the case for all college programs or degrees or whether there are some college programs or degrees that don't require as much essay writing or research papers?

    Stressed with a class

    I'm sorry to hear how you were treated. You don't need to apologize for an absence that had a legitimate reason. If you are treated in a discriminatory or illegal way, you can report that to the chair of the department and/or to the office of equity or diversity if there is one. If health...

    I have never had voices or sensory hallucinations

    Why were you prescribed Prozac? One thing you can do is to ask your doctor why they are prescribing a certain medication to you and how it works, as well as ask to be told about all of the possible side effects (possible does not mean definite). There may be possible side effects listed on a...

    Christianity, mental illness, and having a "sound mind".

    This is just a question out of curiosity of other people's opinions. I personally believe that people with mental illness should receive understanding and support for their mental illness and be respected and not discriminated against because of their mental illness (the same as other groups...

    Salvation being by Christ alone and good v.s. bad fruit

    You mean that you believe there are genuine Christian in prison who have committed those crimes (especially those that are considered very serious such as murder and rape), who converted to the Lord Jesus Christ after they committed those crimes, or you mean that you believe that there are...

    Salvation being by Christ alone and good v.s. bad fruit

    Matthew 7:17-18 states "17 Even so every good tree bringeth :forth good fruit; but a corrupt :tree bringeth forth evil fruit 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." So a good tree brings good fruit and a corrupt tree brings evil fruit. 2...

    Reading and writing for nonverbal or minimally verbal children

    From what I have read it seems that facilitated communication and the rapid prompting method are scientifically discredited. So as a young adult with no children, I am curious what OTHER ways exist that aim to teach people who are nonverbal or minimally verbal writing or typing, that are NOT...

    Teaching writing or typing to people who are nonverbal or minimally verbal

    Thank you from mentioning this. I didn’t know this. According to what I have found he said his wife “taught him to read”: https://www.christiantoday.com/article/the.man.who.punched.out.demons.6.things.you.should.know.about.smith.wigglesworth/109890.htm. I was specifically asking how nonverbal...

    Teaching writing or typing to people who are nonverbal or minimally verbal

    Well I was just curious what are some current safe and valid methods of teaching nonverbal children, youth or adults to write or type (other than facilitated communication or the rapid prompting method since it seems like they are not scientifically approved)...

    I don’t want to share my lecture notes

    That's never happened to me so far. However in some of my classes the professors actually suggested that we get the contact of one or two classmates so that we can contact them in case a situation arises where we missed something. If I wanted to ask a classmate something if I could find a way to...

    Won't be Going to School Next Spring Due to the Virus

    If I may ask, have your own family been unaffected by COVID-19 so far? The deaths are very sad. Are there any family, relatives or friends you could interact with or keep contact with? I'm waiting for Fall too, assuming that the pandemic ends and in-person classes at my university will resume...

    Everything is for the glory of God

    It is my understanding that everything is to for the glory of God, it is a somewhat difficult concept for me to grasp that everything on earth is ultimately for God's glory (which I think exposes my selfishness)... I believe it will all make sense one day I guess the advice I am looking for is...

    Colleges for students with a C average?

    Thanks, I kind of also hope that it will lead to a valuable degree. I could be more specific about the whole situation, but don't really feel comfortable doing so on a public forum.
