I like this guy. I really like him. He’s on my soccer team, one of two guys. Everyone in school hates him and they make fun of him lots.
I know he’s depressed. He makes comments about killing himself and just going away and giving it all up. And I don’t know what to do. Should I tell him something? I was depressed last year and I know alone I felt. But I can’t even really be nice to him cause he broke up with one of my close friends who still kinda likes him.
And what he did to her was wrong. Because he broke up with her the day after they, you know.
So, I have no idea what to do because I really like but I hate him. And I’m worried about him if he is depressed. And I wanna be really nice but I’m trying to help Kelly through this too cause she’s not over him. And I have to pretend I don’t stare at him the way she does understand exactly how she feels.
I wish I could just be really nice to him cause that’s what he needs, but she gives me a dirty look if I smile at him.

I have a couple chapters of a "book" I am writing and I was wondering if there were any sites where I could post it and get good feedback. Preferably a forum of some sort.

I am the site director at a before/after school care program at a local elementary school. My program is run by the YMCA and we have 22 children in the afternoon. There is a 1:10 ratio between staff/ children. There is only myself and another woman working at the site and so the ratio is not being met. When I ask about further staff I have been told that there is a hiring shortage. They can't find anyone to fill the position.

What are my legal responsibilities as site director? Can I be sued for not meeting ratio when it is my employer who is not hiring the necessary staff? What steps can I take to protect myself?

I don't want to quit. I love the kids and the job. Plus the school is about five minutes away from my house. I want what is best for the kids as well as myself, but I can't be responsible for something I have no control over. Any and all thoughts/information is greatly appreciated.

theres a rumor of a school shooting goind on, the cameras were vandalized and one ripped out from its place, now since tuesday there have been SCHOOL WIDE rumors, its all we talk about in class. well rumor is friday at our pep rally the shooting will occur. anyways should i go to the pep rally? or skip and go to study hall?

do you think the school should place a lockdown? also its a rumor but if it was a joke it wouldve stopped and now the whole school is talking about it. the school will not do anything because they dont have physical evidence like a hitlist, so right now everyone is talking about it but the school isnt doing anything to prevent this if it is true. theyre waiting till a dead body shows up -_- and they allow backpacks at the pep rally so some1 can sneak a gun inside the gym..should i go or not? and do you think the school should do a lockdown for a search even though its a school wide rumor bringing huge attention, not to mention cameras vandalized and non working.

I Have been at my job for 6 1/2 years. the first 3 years i was part time then i went full time. I had a baby 9months ago so iwent back to part time and they told me they were gonna take a dollar an hour out of my pay! I never got another dollar when i went full time, all the raises i got were legit, yearly evaluations. Is this right? Is there something i can do to prevent this from happening? Finding a new job isn't easy. especially since they give me the hours i want. I'm in a panic. What can i do?

Ok so outside we have a pool heater that we thought was broken. We took the valve thats on the gas pipe next to the heater out to see if there was any flow, and there wasn't any. The rest of our gas appliances work fine, but this pipe has no flow. Could their be another valve somewhere that is closed? Where could it be located, and what would it look like?

Lately i feel like my brother has been a total dick to me. As weird as it may sound, its mainly because i like working out and take pride in how well i can box and cardio etc. but my brother being 29 while i am 17 is really starting to brag about how well he is doing, like he is doing a lot better in boxing n stuff than i am, and that got me down enough, but now he started gloating about it. This has really gotten me down cuz its really all i can think of right now, and the day after tommorow im supposed to work out with him but i dont kno what im gonna do, im really upset with him...me and him always had a close relationship, which is hard to have with an older brother at my age especially, and now this is starting to really annoy me and i can see it making us drift away. Any thought on what i should do would be greatly appreciated

"War on Sex" is a bit sensationalized? Perhaps, but it got your attention! :-) Think the "Global Gag Rule" is an isolated incident that only affects other countries? Read on, Please!

-- Bush Expands the Global Gag Rule
In spite of the House and Senate approving a repeal of the global gag rule by adopting the Global Democracy Promotion Act, "President Bush issued an executive memorandum late Friday extending the global gag rule to family planning funds administered by the U.S. Department of State."
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/news-articles-press/politics-policy-issues/gag-rule-12184.htm

-- Bush family planning pick is anti-pill (Susan Orr)
"She is also a former senior director with the Family Research Council, a conservative organization promoting abstinence education programs and standing against federal funding for contraception."

No Senate confirmation is required for Orr, so we get no say and our voices in Congress went unheeded for the Global Gag Rule.

Someone just asked a question, even though it wasn't really a question, about how they have accepted Jesus and God, and someone replied

"Then you are lost. A wasted life, chasing imaginary phantoms."

Is this uncalled for? If atheists are so free thinking, then why can't atheists like this one be more open minded and "live and let live" or live the expression "to each his own"??
