| Be cold and calm and polite. He (your dad) only sees you about four times a year, so tell him that. Be polite - "Dad, we only see each other four times a year, and I want to tell you how I'm doing at school, not arguing over a job that I'm going to get, in what, three years time or longer, if I go t... |

| For me (and this is just really silly), but it's the lack of spatial awareness (i.e. being clumsy), so I misjudge where walls and doorways are, and crash into things and bash things (and me) and it's just down-right annoying. Other than that, I'm okay. |

| I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK!! !! !! !! And I'm confusing myself. When he left, I didn't feel anything. I don't know. I do the 'not-knowing' thing too. When my grandfather died I was like that. It's okay, not knowing is fine. I say 'I don't know' so much, one teacher joked that it's like my catch-phr... |

| With writing, you either say something or you don't. You have to express emotion to get it across. You can order your thoughts, think about what you want to say. There is no dreaded 'middle-man' (only expression I could think of) of the actual physical human themself - there is no eye contact/gestur... |
