Social Science - 5 March 2007

I am doing a class project on alcoholism. Not having anyone close to me suffer from it, I have trouble understanding sometimes. What I want to know, is if there is anyone out there who has suffered from alcoholism, sought help through AA or another form, and has been able to get back to a medium, such as a social drinker, or having a drink casually as most do without having any problems. OR do you need to not touch alcohol at all?

Also, the second part of our project, is determining if many are "Excused" from being seen as alcoholics simply because they are in college. So if anyone has thoughts as to the theory "You're not an alcoholic until you graduate" please let me know. We'd like to see if the amount an alcoholic consumes is comparable to that of your average college student.

THIS IS SERIOUS SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THERE WERE NO JOKES OR BOGUS POSTS ON THIS MATTER

Thanks

BLONDES VS. BRUNETTES. As a natural born brunette gone platinum...and back to brunette again...

I've been treated noticeably differently as my hair color changes, and I'm interested in what's going on in that head of yours...guys and gals alike.

GENERALLY SPEAKING:

As a BLONDE, more doors are held open, I'm asked out more frequently, and my jokes are funnier...but no error goes un-noticed, my intelligence is questioned, and on more than one occasion, strangers have talked to me like I just graduated 5th grade.

As a BRUNETTE, people are more sincere, my advice is welcomed, and mistakes aren’t anticipated…but on the flip side of it all, I open my own doors, I buy my own coffee and if I have a flat tire, I wait 5 more minutes for someone to pull over.

It seems people are quick to critique others without even being aware of their judgment. How do you mentally regard people based on there appearance and why?

I am a college freshman male, and I am currently going through a lot of ****. I finished my first semester pretty strong, but this semester I am so struggling. I bombed all of my first exams: organic chemistry, multivariable calculus, and biology. Everything I thought I was pretty good at. I take my poor performance as a wake-up call and am trying to make some changes. I rearranged things in my room, hid everything that seems to distract me, and etc. However, I am so stressed out. I keep telling myself that I will literally kill the next exams, but the school is so full of hard-working ppl that I am sort of going crazy.
There are also other things that bother me greatly. I had a knee injury while doing squats in November, and it is still affecting my mood. And there is a girl of my interest, but things aren't working out the way I want them to be. For example, I was gonna ask her to lunch today, but she was sick and didn't come to class. I have to wait till next monday for counseling.

A lot of people don't accept me, & I feel so worthless & now, I just want to be left alone. I kind of want to break up with my boyfriend because of my mental illness, & me feeling worthless. I feel like I don't deserve him & that I'm not good enough for him. My family doesn't even accept me. I feel extremely depressed, & I think I'm about to have an anxiety breakdown & cry.

How much more or less do mental health problems take place in third world countries than they do in the USA? If less, could that mean that mental health problems are a result of social problems, and not chemical imbalances per say?

I am 26 years old, have a degree, happy childhood, a few good friends and a lovely boyfriend...but I am very shy!! Whenever someone talks to me (stranger or friend), I start blushing and cannot really talk. I don't know if I have a low self-esteem, I do look good on the outside and I am a friendly person, but I cant just talk to people. Please help, what is wrong with me?
