At school yesterday we were asked (as the older students) what issues we believed needed to be addressed to students at my school.

Everyone of us said we believe suicide needs to be talked about. Espcially because last year we hate more than 10teenagers commite suicide.

We were told than suicide couldn't be talked about at school because some studies have shown that talking about suicide can give people ideas kill themselves.


I personally believe this is crap! We should talk about our problems. Keeping them inside of us is going to make those who are suicidal more so. Those teenagers who took their lives last year didn't talk to anyone and know look where they are!


Does anyone else think it's bull???

Do you have any statistics that differ?

Any suggestions of how we can educate without 'giving teens' suicidal thoughts?

Are we prepared as a country to deal with the mental health issues that many of the US soldiers will have when they return from the war? Are there programs in place to help them get acclimated to being back home after being away for so long? What percentage of troops return from any war with mental health issues? Thanks

I don't know if I'm psychic. What I do know is that I get these "feelings" about things sometimes. For instance, a friend told me that she wanted to go to see a movie one night, and I told her that I didn't think that it was a good idea. My stomach just started chruning, and I felt sick. Right in front of the movie theater, there was a six car pile up.
A week ago, I kept having the same nightmare that my dad got hit by a car. I'm not very close to him, but it still worried me, so I asked my mom to call him, and see if he was alright. She called him the next day, and he said he was fine.
Earlier today, I got a call from my sister, saying that my dad was in the hospital. He wasn't hit by a car, but he was working on a car and the radiator blew up in his face.
Things like this happen often enough for me to feel a little awkward.
I'm not saying that I am psychic but I was just curious if anyone knew if there were signs that you are..
Anything will help but please only serious answers!

A friend of mine had her son taken away from her, when he was a few months old, about 8 yrs ago. She can't see him or get recent pics of him (He went to family on his dad's side). I just found a few pics of the baby and some with her and him together. It KILLS her to basically not have a son anymore. Do you think it would "hurt" her in a way if I were to send her the pictures?

Hi, I have been researching this drug. I have read on many sites that the effect of LSD is around 8 hours.

However, I do not know if they are referring to a certain amount of it.

My buddy, who has tried it. Says that one tab will last about 3 hours, but I do not know who to believe.

So, what is the effect of one tab of lsd?

I have many physical symptoms. They worsen when I go to places like the grocery store. My vision gets weird and I feel like I can't focus. I have a past history of alcohol problems. I have been sober for about 2 yrs. I don't know what to do anymore though because I haven't ever had a real job, I dropped out of college, and I have tried anti-depressants and they didn't work for me even at high doses. I have also gone to therapy and read an anxiety work book. I feel very hopeless. Can anyone recommend something I could try that might help it. I used to just try and hide my anxiety. It is to the point where if I am out with a friend they notice and ask if I am ok.

My mother says that when I was miles apart from her, she knew something was wrong. She said it was 2:00 in the morning and she smelled this foul odor. She searched to see where the smell was coming from, but she couldn't find it. Around that time, I was stuck in a situation that was greatly uncomfortable and terrifying.

Just now I was feeling depressed and unmotivated and I put this song on. A song from "La Vita Bella." All of the sudden, now I'm smelling this flowery smell. I haven't taken a shower or have any perfume on. I don't have a lotion that has this wonderful, uplifting smell. It comes and goes. I wish this smell would stay with me forever. What is going on?

I smell it again!!!

She's only 5, but sometimes she can tell me what I'm thinking - and she's right! Also, when I have a song in my head, she can sing the exact part of which I am hearing! It creeps me out lol. What do you think?

I've liked a couple different guys over the years. They are either out of my league, or are in a relationship.

Whenever I find out, I always (to myself, never to their face or to anyone else) think to myself, something along the lines of "Well, why would I want you anyway? You have a weird looking (insert body part here)"

I think the reason I do it is so that I can pick out their flaws, making myself feel less like a loser for not being the person of their longing.

Does that make sense? Or am I just really messed up?

Serious answers, please.

I fear that a trend has begun, whereby it will become acceptable to elect marginal human beings to the office of the Presidency. Which begs an even deeper question: What are the significant qualifications necessary for an individual to serve as a United States President?
