Does anyone else agree that a library dismissing self-published books out of hand is discriminatory? Not all self-published books are rubbish.

Yes. However, most libraries will be flexible and accept self-published books that are of good quality, especially if they are of local interest. Make sure that you are speaking to actual selectors - other librarians and assistants may misunderstand the collection management policy. Take a look at the policy yourself so that you can point out how your book fits it if needed, and be sure to specify that you published the book and are interested in either selling it to the library or giving it to them gratis. Do not say "I have a donation" – most "donations" to libraries are tatty paperbacks, outdated Nat Geos, and poorly written religious chapbooks, so that's what it will make them think of.

What if a child does not agree with getting his haircut but it is very necessary? Should I convince him to have a buzzcut? Or just tie him to the seat and give him a buzzcut?

Do not tie a child to a seat and cut their hair. This is cruel and also dangerous, because you would be using a razor on a squirming kid. Explain...

I think I am pansexual because I could love someone (emotionally, not physically) because of their personality, not their gender or appearance. I have loved anyone but the opposite sex, so I'm not very sure, also I'm just 12.

It depends in what sense you mean 'love'. A person of any sexual orientation can love people in a friendly or familial way, regardless of their gender. To be pansexual,...

How do I approach this person when she is in her friend group at recess, and I don't know anyone else in the group? Kids don't take well to that at my school.

You could use a question about a class assignment as a pretext for talking to that person, even if she's with her friends at the time you approach her.

Yes, I have! The scorpions won't go anywhere near it. The same is true if you use cinnamon.
