Am I Qualified to Get Into Graduate School?

Question by Mackenzie: Am I qualified to get into graduate school?
I just applied to 4 masters programs and am just concerned about my chances. I want to be a substance abuse counselor, and applied to MS counseling, social work, and rehab counseling programs. Can anyone tell me if I’m qualified to get in? I just completed my undergraduate BS in psychology with a sociology minor at Virginia Tech. I graduated a semester early and am using my extra semester interning at a drug rehab. My GPA was 3.58, and in-major was 3.86. My GRE scores were 155 math, 156 verbal, and 4.5 writing. I was involved in two different undergraduate research labs for about a year. I am getting so much anxiety about if I am qualified for grad school. Someone please tell me if I’m smart enough!

What Can We as a Community Do to Try and Prevent Another Shooting Massacre?

Question by Matt S: What can we as a community do to try and prevent another shooting massacre?
Are there any fundamental changes we can make in our society to keep another depressed and suicidal “maniac” from doing this again? Was there anything we could have done to keep the Virginia Tech shooter from doing this?

I feel like we had gotten all the warning signs that this guy was severely depressed or even psychotic and was more than capable of committing these acts of atrocity, but most people seemed too perturbed by his strange behavior over the years to want to help him.

I Need Help Getting My Life Together.?

Question by Chris S: I need help getting my life together.?
Im 19 years old. I was raised by my parents till i was twelve. They where on oxycotin spent everything we had on the drugs. Then i moved out due to my dads paranoid schizophrenia. We lived in a small town in west va and he thought everyone was out to get him. But now i live in Petersburg Virginia and i have a job at Pizza hut that i hate, making 6.55 an hour.
Im addicted to oxycodone just as my parents where. Im so ashamed of myself. I have to pay my bills myself on top of my drug habit i have nothing to show for my money. I have no education i quite school to move away from my dad. I dont think my life will mount to anything. I have no one.. literally no one that cares about me. Therefor i have no one to help me.
I just need advice on how to get my life together. Maybe i should look for a wife who can help me or something.. i dont know im just lost and alone. I need to get my life together before my addiction gets out of hand. I can handle the addiction i basically need a way to get an education, take care of myself while im in school, and just someone who cares about me…
