Alright seriously, I'm torturing myself with this and I need answers. Please don't answers this question unless you actually know what you're talking about. Are mirrors accurate? Do they show the real you, or do they alter your looks? Is it true flaurescent lighting ( like in public bathrooms and fitting rooms) makes you look worse? HELP

Why is it that I rely so much on honesty and openness to have happy relationships? Why do I have a diificult time remaining friends with people whom are not completely honest with me, or hold back the truth? I am embarrassed by this. It really affects my friendships. It's as if when I find them dishonest about one thing, I start wondering well....what else are they not being honest about? I don't think that I should be doing this. Is this healthy?

Some women, certainly not all women, are manipulative & unaccountable with their good man in the home. Trust me, this happens enough & is hurtful enough to thoughtful men to have a huge impact on women's rights. Try to quell your urge to deny what I'm stating and/or come to the defense of women who behave this way, because that also hurts your cause. I am convinced you could make more of a difference at this point by going after the complacent in your own gender than by going after the white male power structure.

Initially I was very nice person for all..people were taking me like role model..but later on because of misconception in mind I have committed many stupidities...not harmful but meaningless.Unknowingly I hurt somebody. Now I have realized my mistakes...even I have apologized for my mistakes. But I don't know whether that person has forgiven me or not.

As a child growing up I was always known as Mike's (my popular older brother) fugly little fatso sister! Almost everyone one in school ridiculed me about my weight. I would sit in class enduring insult from every direction, feeling like crap as kids through paper balls at me. I would come home crying everyday after school, ashamed of what I was. Mike’s fugly little fatso sister!!! Basically I had a horrible childhood.

Anyway let me get to the point…
My brother’s best friend Jake use to come over to our house like everyday, and like any freshmen girl in my high school thought he was the hottest senior in school. So, I cut his picture out of the yearbook and paste it in my diary, writing my heart out about how I was hopelessly in love Jake Thomson. Soooo… one day I forgot my diary in the living room. And of course my brother and Jake were in the living room goofing around and watching TV. At the time I had no idea my diary was missing, and I definitely did NOT think Jake would find and read my diary!

When I finally found out he had read my diary in was too late. He went around school telling everyone what I wrote. How I was so very hopelessly in LOVE with him, and planned to merry him on day. He even told everyone how my dad would call me his “little butterball”! You know like the butterball turkey? I wanted to commit suicide everyday I was force to go to school, however I didn’t, I just end up eating more and getting ever fatter.

Jake made fun of me more then anyone in school: pushing me out of the way whenever I was around, constantly making malicious false rumors about me. He NEVER gave up an opportunity to humiliate me!

Finally my parents got sick and tired of me coming home crying everyday, from all the teasing at school. So, the next thing I knew I was off to an all girl boarding school in New York, were I over the years lost weight. No longer the FUGLY LITTLE FATSO BUTTERBALL! I became the tall, beautiful girl, who later on in life became a model.

It’s been years since high school, and I see him… Jake! At a club, the azz who made my life an absolute living nightmare! Though now he’s not so much of an azzhole anymore… and I realize even though he made me feel so bad… I like the person he is now… or appears to be. He has apologized a million times, and I do believe he is truly being honest, however my friends and family think differently. They think he’s just playing nice because of my looks. Jake has been nothing but nice to me for the pass two months since we bumped in to each other at my brother’s club. He’s constantly trying to get me to go out on a date with him, and I’m constantly telling him NO; when secretly kinda wanna go out with him to. He really seems like he has changed a lot and though I have not forgotten I forgive him. Jake treated me so badly all those years… now he treats me better then any guy has ever treated me in my life.


Should I give him a chance and go out with him or should I tell him to shove it???
Should I forgive and forget?

I am a writer, and I enjoy writing about depression alot, and it's very rare that i write a story in which all of the main characters survive.I write songs and poems about death. I simply think it's a strong topic, which arouses deep emotions in readers. I also talk often with my friends about what comes after we die, and what dying is like. My parents are extremely worried about me... do they have a right to be? why/ why not?
