I am a 19 year old and I have been going to community college for over a year now. I have told both my parents for the last 6 months of my interest in joining the Marine Corps Reserve. My father has been more than supportive about this plan while my mother is opposite to the idea, wanting me to go away to college and getting a degree in construction management, (which I myself really desire to obtain). I (as well as my recruiter) have talked long and hard to her about the Marine Reserves yet it seems she still does not understand why I would want to do this. Growing impatient with her, I joined without her and my fathers knowing. I finally told my father and my mother a month latter, (three days ago), and now she can barely stand the sight of me. I try to comfort her by saying that I will, no matter what happens, finish college and get my much wanted degree but she still does not understand. My father though does, and believes it is a rather noble thing to do. She seems as if she has done something wrong in raising me, I know this because my father told me after he had a nights long discussion with her about it and she even said to him, “how could I have raised a son that wants to kill people.” I have told her for months and have even told her this last night that I am doing this not because of benefits or “the thrill to kill people” but because of the nobility of the cause and of it being a great way (maybe the best [I don’t know]) in becoming a stronger person. I told her if I wanted benefits I wouldn’t have joined the reserve, (only making $350 a month for school [which really comes down to nothing when talking about most universities]) and I would have joined an NROTC program at a university right away, (which I also plan on doing when I go back to school). Now I am not asking if I have made a bad decision, (because I know it was a right decision) and I am not asking if it was wrong of me to go behind my parents back and join the military (because I know it was a wrong decision) but I am asking what should I do to comfort my mother (a stubborn woman) when she does not understand why I am doing this and help both of us sleep at night. Thank you for your time and answers, I really do appreciate it.


-and the fools say I support our troops but it is not something for my son/daughter.

What if one of your loved ones goes to hell, and you go to heaven? How can you enjoy yourself in heaven knowing that someone you love is burning in hell?

I have a friend who is a very bad alcholic and he keeps saying he wants to goto detox hes attempted to go 2 times this week but didn't go through with it the whole way. He went today and they checked his blood alchol content and it was 3.36. Is there any suggestions on how I can get him to go and stay and get dried out before he ends up killing himself. I am very frusterated with him and I don't want to turn my back on a friend but I can't sit and watch him do this to himself. Any suggestions?

I have a subaru legacy, 96, that recently broke down due to only the drive shaft. I already replaced it, I just want to get rid of it. Should I sell it to a junk yard? I've listed it in classifieds, best I got was some nut who will give me 100 bucks and haul it away, it's worth WAAAY more. Any ideas?

ill est a question des avis

QUESTION: Is there something wrong with me?

Before I give the gory details I'd like to establish some premises:

i) I'm not gay, because I feel no attraction to males or have any desire to have sex with guys.
ii)I'm a male. (I suppose if i) holds then ii) is a corollary.
iii) I don't have a big Peter myself. It's actually average if not smaller than average. (approx. 4.5 inches when erect.) Not big I know.

Here's the thing. I think about c0cks all the time and much like the character in the movie Superbad I used to (and still do when the mood strikes) draw pictures of *****. Also I usually google pictures of Peter North and other male porn stars all the time just to admire their monster Tools.

I have always been anti-abortion from my religious beliefs.. but I need advice

I am 19. 20 in December.
If I keep it my partner will do a runner and I'll be alone. I dont have a cent to my name nor a job or my own place at the moment. I'm not in the right place at the moment and I dont know how I'll manage it alone...
I am exploring all options now Im looking at Abortion though im still undecided.
I see that the abortion pill is not legal in australia? I could maybe do this... but the vacuum thing? Seems so traumatic. The only way I could is under general anesthetic. So im out of it the whole time.
I was just wanting to know from people how the process is. How traumatic and if anyones had general anesthetic.
Just any imput or experiences please...

I'm 6 weeks in a couple days...
