Hello. I am so mad right now. I practically wrote an essay explaining why I would like to be a lawyer, asked questions on it, etc., and the whole thing gets DELETED?! This was very unpleasant and made me quite mad. It took me more than an hour to write that - I had so much evidence, so many questions, so many things to say in that, and it was just deleted. I'm very frustrated now.
I'm only in the 6th grade, so if you know how I can retrieve it, that would be nice. Nothing inapropriate was in it, so I have no idea what the big deal was. All I talked about was college, future jobs, and I asked questions so people could help me. But I guess maybe I'll have to go somewhere else to ask questions because I honestly don't want to waste my time on a site typing a lot and wanting to receive answers only to find out that I can't because my whole thing was deleted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did it do that?!?

Did you try using the back key and go back a screen or two? Sometimes you can find your document and I've done that on this site.
Did you try looking in your trash folder to see if it got sent there?
Let this be a lesson to you to save. You can accidentally hit delete or there can be a glitch whether you are on a question and answer site or writing an essay for school. If you can't figure out how to save then every so often copy what you've done and paste it into a fresh document or even an email, label it lawyer backup and keep it until you've submitted it. You never ever spend an hour on anything without saving every 10 or 15 minutes. This kind of thing has happened to everybody at one time or another and it is a HUGE learning lesson to save save save!
On some sites there may be a limit to the size of the document that you can submit and if it gets exceeded it deletes.
I know it's frustrating. Been there done that. SAVE!
Thanks! I read your comments, and I will really take what you said into consideration the next time I type something that's really important.
Thanks again!
You didn't even write a coherent question. If you are using Windows, right click the icon of the directory where the file used to be and select "Restore previous versions" and select the file you want to recover.
Some programs have a menu option to recover deleted files. You are supposed to look through all the menu options of every program you use so you know things like that.
I would suggest you go talk to your career guidance counselor. All schools have one. Thats what they get paid for to offer advice on classes to prep for going into the law and any other field.
Find a law school and contact their customer service and ask what they suggest.
Contact a local college or university and ask how old you have to be to talk to a career guidance counselor on how to ready yourself for the law and what you can be doing prior to high school graduation.
