This is where I live as a tenant and I still have 6 months to end my lease. I stay with a family with a doting mother and a really spoilt 12-yr old boy. He often beats his younger sister, neighbouring kids (he doesn't have any playmates) and at school - he often, gets recalled for abusive behaviour.

He doesn't cause me any physical harm because I am much older (21) and stronger than him - but I can't smack him either when he locks me up in the bathroom or puts chewing gum in my hair or ravages my limited cosmetics - I am only a student and can't afford the nuisance.

His mother NEVER reprimandes him and he knows how to use his mother (His father has been divorced) - where is it going to stop?

This week - he attempted to suffocate his sister (7-yr old) with a pillow until I came in. I had advised his mother to take him to counselling or psychiatrist but she wouldn't budge and always defend her son - (she

I dreamed that I was trying to get to some weird city in a game called world of warcraft that I haven't played for like three months, I was supposed to go east so I did and I walked into a mansion, after an hour walking around I walked into a chinese military base and was escorted to meet with the General. I escaped and some hot chick saved me, and as we were running for an exit she started screaming 'I HEAR SOMEONE BUT ITS NOT CLAY!!!' and then some gorilla shaped thing appeared in a doorway and its eye glowed green. And thats all... so what's it mean? :P

Debate with a colleague on this one - we were talking about the Halo Effect, whereby a positive perception of one thing influences people's perceptions about a wider range of attributes.
But is there a term for the negative equivalent, where one bad thing makes people generally perceive negative things about the wider picture e.g. someone is perceived at being bad at their job overall because they are bad at one aspect of it, even though they might ACTUALLY be pretty good at the other tasks

always at a time when I'm not going to be there. For example, a friend of mine, who's the same age as me comes to the house when I'm at work and leaves before I come home from work! Then another friend rings home at a time when they know I'm at work and now the latest, my uncle who I've not seen in 10 years, is coming down to see my mum between the hours when I'll be at work! I know that my mum gets on very well with my friends, but I am starting to wonder if people are deliberately trying to avoid me. I'm quite a shy person and not very worldly. Is this why? I do make occasional friends, but when I bring them home, my mum gets on so well with them and it seems they prefer her to me.
