It is normal for people to vary in height during the day by up to an inch. While we sleep the spine decompresses. Whil... |

According to the WISC test that I took at age 17, I had the vocabulary of a 13 year old. My college english 097 teacher also told me that I need to increase my vocabulary.
I chose below average. |

| I've read about this before and watched a couple videos and they all drive me crazy and make me want to cry. I hate the way it makes me feel. I get a weird feeling, but it doesn't feel good and it's not a positive feeling. |
