Article: Your guidance counselor might be the most important person you will meet during your high school career. Guidance counselors offer you valuable information that can ease your navigation through school and get you on the right track from day one.  Guidance counselors know all the classes you have to take to graduate. This is especially important as you plan each year's class load. Every school has certain classes each student must take, and if you are confused about how to fulfill your requirements, the guidance counselor can help you. If you want to go to a certain kind of college for a specific major, your guidance counselor can help you figure out what classes and extra-curricular activity will look best on your college applications. They can also help you figure out which classes will challenge you as you prepare for a college education. Guidance counselors are an essential resource for students with learning disabilities. They can work with you and your teachers to find the right accommodations for you. They can also help you with your college goals, including finding scholarships for students with disabilities. Guidance counselors can also help you if you are struggling with your classes. But academic help is not the only thing they can help you with. If you're struggling with something in your personal life, if you're feeling depressed, or if you're being bullied, counselors can be a person you can talk to. Meet with your counselor during your freshman year. Let them know your interests and your goals. If you're unsure about what you want to do, let them know that so they can help you. It's never too late to meet with your counselor, even if you're a senior. Getting to know your teachers can be beneficial in many ways. Talking to your teacher can help you be more comfortable in your class, which can in turn make you more successful in the class.  Go to your teacher if you are struggling academically. They don't want you to fail; they want you to succeed. They can offer extra tutoring or additional information about your subject that can clarify any confusion. Teachers are also great resources if you are being bullied. Don't be afraid to tell someone if you are being bullied or having a hard time. If you are planning to go to college, you will need teacher recommendations for some college and scholarship applications. If you have cultivated relationships with teachers through your high school career, you will have people who know you and believe in you to write positive, enthusiastic letters for you. Sometimes no matter how hard you study, things just don't make sense. If this happens to you, find a tutor. Many high schools offer peer tutoring in a variety of subjects, or a faculty-led afterschool tutoring program. Most communities have learning labs and tutoring centers. These centers are designed to offer help in most subjects for a fee. Tutoring centers also offer SAT, ACT, and other standardized testing prep classes.

Problem: Article: If reading and writing is important to your understanding of Japanese, it is crucial to spend time studying all four of the Japanese written systems. Hiragana and katakana can be learned in as little as a few weeks, and you can use them to write anything you want in Japanese. Kanji will take much longer to learn, but it is also important.

A fun option for practicing Japanese is to video-chat with a native speaker. Look for online resources that pair language partners together. If you find someone who is a good fit, begin practicing with them 1-2 times per week. Look into My Language Exchange or The Mixxer to locate an online language partner.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The easiest way to stop collection calls is to pay your debt, but you need to be careful when doing so. Speak with the collector to set up a payment plan. Many collectors will encourage you to set up automatic bill-pay. Make sure that whatever plan you agree upon, you are comfortable with. Scam collection agencies love setting up automatic bill-pay and will charge you an exorbitant fee for the service. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), you are allowed to tell debt collectors to stop calling you. Tell them in writing that you prefer to communicate with them by mail only. Send any correspondence, including disputes to both the collection agency and the creditor by certified mail and request that a return receipt be sent back to you upon delivery.  Sample letters are available online.  Make sure you keep a copy of your letter. Written communication works to your advantage as you will have a record of everything that is said, whereas phone communication is only recorded on occasion. If the creditor still contacts you after your written request, you can file a “cease and desist“ letter. Find a consumer lawyer who can draft such a letter. If the problem continues, you might even have a case to sue the collection agency. Debt collectors are also prohibited from contacting you while you are at work. There are many lawyers who concentrate on debt collection. They'll be able to help you if you owe money or if a collector is illegally harassing you. These lawyers will charge you a fee or will take a percentage of what they collect on your behalf. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, unlike most laws, actually spells out how much money you might receive if you win your case. The amounts can range from $5000 for individual cases to $500,000 for group law suites.  The first thing a lawyer will do is look up the statute of limitations on your loan. Old loans, acquired decades earlier or by deceased relatives, sometimes can be the cause of collection calls. Statutes of limitations exist in many places. If the statute of limitations has expired, you could be off the hook. Even if a collection agency tries to pursue it, you are under no legal obligation to pay. When this occurs, if you do not wish to pay, you could use a cease and desist letter. Remember, you can receive a bad credit rating longer than the statute of limitations. They may have come across an alternate way that works well with this particular agency. Each collection agency is different. Sometimes, they require forms to be filled out. Others only need a letter. Rather than discover this for yourself, ask for help from others. Report the collectors to the FTC online. They are generally slow to move on these kinds of problems, but if they receive enough reports about one specific agency, their wrath can be formidable.

SUMMARY: Pay your debt. Send a letter to the collection agency. Contact a lawyer. Ask how others successfully stopped collection calls. Alert the Federal Trade Commission.
