Why is it that people who give their all to help others, do their best, and look their best, still get knocked down and criticized?

i think everyone has a little depression from what ever is going through their lives, but i dont think it needs to be treated with some kind of fancy "anit-depressan" drug. i think it is just a mteer of how you think of things and it takes the inner self to do that...but saying that ur depressed is only making u more depressed

Why do most religions discount evolution?We all know what we have learned in school.There were dinosaures yet the bible dosn't mention them...We know the Earth is over 500 million years old yet bible schollers say that according to the Holly bible it is between 8 and 12 thausand years old...so why are we so scared to embrace facts,and so scared to discount fiction?

In the interest of fairness, I wanted to put this question out there too, so we can explore both sides of the coin. So, what female stereotypes are portrayed in pop culture? Specific examples (from TV shows, films, songs, videos, ads, etc)?

I have a fear of sleeping over @ my friends houses. I am 12. I used 2 love it, but about a year ago, I started *hating* it, and getting homesick. I have turned down a million sleepovers lately.
Anyways---I am going to a party on saturday evening, and afterwards the girl asked me 2 sleep over. Should I?
I want to, but I hate getting homesick in front of a bunch of people! And just homesick in general.
Should I just suck it up & go?

I've always wondered what age people start remembering things. I've asked friends and I find girls remember things from earlier - is this true?
How old were you and what is your gender?

We've all left something behind or watched things change. What would you like to have back - an experience, a person, a place, a chocolate bar.

I miss having people drop in unannounced like when I was a student.

Since I tend to be overly happy and enthusiastic, I also tend to be really confident...I sort of have a bouncy walk. :) But what's been making me feel bad is that I may be perceived in a negative way such as arrogant. I don't want to be perceived that way, I want to bring positive ideas. I wore heels and got dressed up because life is beautiful, and someone told me with some contempt...why are you all dressed up? Because I'm living!!!! Advice please? Am I arrogant for this? It's seems like some people are trudging through the day not seeing the beauty, and I worry if I irritate them with my positivity.

There are alot of different purposes for keeping journals and diaries. I want to know why you do, or don't. It may be to simply keep track of what you were doing on a particular day, or how you were feeling on that day. It may be to record those precious significant experiences that you never want to forget. Please let me know why you keep yours. Thanks

My life seems so empty. Happiness feels so superficial. There is no point to life. I'm not special. I'm just another person. I'll finish school, go to college, get a job, retire, and die just like everyone else. I always want to have an adventure with purpose, just like everyone in fiction has. I love avatar, and I read and write fanfiction. I wanted to join their world. Adventures, fun, heroes. I mean, sure, you can have a few adventures in real life, but it isn't the same. It doesn't have any purpose.

I feel like life is empty, with no purpose. It's just so dull, so bleak.

Someone help me...I want to experience the world of fiction, and I started crying when it hit me...I knew it all along, but yesterday night it hit me SO hard that it was MADE UP BY ORDINARY PEOPLE.

Reading and writing fanfiction made me feel like a part of their world...But I need help...

Someone help me, I'm so miserable...

In October of last year, something REALLY bad happened to me. I can't give specifics, but I posted something I shouldn't have on a website something like Myspace and angered alot of people at the high school I will be attending next year. I worry on and off about it, thinking up worse and worse scenarios each time. The people in question PROBABLY know my first and last name (I don't remember if my last name was on the website or not) and know what school I'm coming from. My friends have tried to calm me down, but it only works for a short period of time. It's really starting to effect my schoolwork and overall happiness, and even though the sense of logic in me tells me that juniors in high school wouldn't go to extreme lengths to ruin the life of a freshman for something that happened at least a year ago, my wild imagination always finds a way to make everything seem worse. So, how can I stop worrying? I'm really desperate.

You know that saying, "Life is all about Choices"? Well, is it really? I mean, does one truly choose his/her own destiny or are there some things in our lives that we simply have no control over? What do you think?

It was really busy in the supermarket carpark this morning and I did what I always do, pull over to the side, let people pass me and sit and wait and my patience pays off. I saw a lady with a trolley of shopping heading towards me. She got in her car, right by my side and I moved forward to give her enough room to get out. I had my indicator on and reverse lights. Then this woman came from nowhere straight into the space. I beeped my horn but she didn't even glance at me so I did it some more, still nothing. I got out of my car, she got out of hers and I was incandescent with rage. Her arrogance and lack of consideration made me lose it completely. How could I have made an impact but handled it better?
