What causes stress?

My aunt and uncle think I'm not doing good in school because I'm stressed out. Well, I was just wondering what can cause stress?

Stress in school is caused by not being prepared for your tests and not starting your projects on time. So, if you are stressed, spend less time on the Internet unless it pertains to your schoolwork. Don't wait until the last minute to start your projects. Get organized. Student early and often.

They think it has to do with me being a foster kid and bottleing up my emotions

You spelled it wrong! I hope you've done research.

I'll make sure I spell it correctly when I present it which is really getting me nervous right now. Im getting butterflies already literally :(

And make sure you don't say things like it doesn't matter which camp, because each camp represents loss of life.

Aww... your making me feel bad I didn't mean it that way!! :( :( :(

Good!

Ok!! Thanks for the help! Good night:)

I'm German. I actually visited Auschwitz. Do you know what Auschwitz means? Loosely translated it means "from sweat", or "out of sweat".

My parents were alive, and living in Germany, during the second world war.

What kind of project are you doing about concentration camps?

There aren't any happy stories about those places, but, the history, and the things you can learn from it, are definitely worth your time and effort.

If you need help translating anything in German, I'm willing to help.

Poop, or the other word for poop? ;)

Here's the fun thing about German. Every town has a different dialect. For instance, I was raised to speak high German. Not to sound snobby, but high German is understood by pretty much everyone in Germany, it's the way educated people speak. How to explain this. It's like saying "The two youths went to the bathroom and were accosted by a criminal", instead of saying "The two utes went to the $hitter and some hood jumped em".

I was raised in a town called Weikersheim, and the German there is very different than the German I learned. For instance, when I visited as a teen my Oma asked me if I wanted a "gukale (spelling is probably wrong because it's not in any German dictionary anywhere)". I was stumped. WTH is a gukale? I asked my mom. Apparently a gukale is an "ei", an egg. Gukale is Weikersheimer Deutsch.

So, do you want the proper, high falutin way to say poop, or do you want the slangy way to say it? If you want slangy, what dialect?

See Odinn, ask a simple question, and this is what you get. Bet you're sorry you asked now. ;)

LOL... I actually already know how to say it. I know some German.

So I wrote this long explanation for nothing? You little Scheisser! ;)

Cool, I can swear in German on AMHD.

Crapadoodle, admitting that it's a swear will probably get me a slap. :(

German learner

Awesome how do you say I love you in german (high falutan)

It's not often I get to slightly insult someone and get away with it, at least not on this site. I had to take the shot, too good to pass up. :)

I should report you...

My project is due Monday and my aunt is asleep so I can't work on it

You can get it started yourself. Have everything ready to go.
