I just saw a news story about online predators going trying to arrange meetings with 12, 13 year old kids. I sometimes chat online, but I don't even want to talk to anyone under 21 (I'm 24), since the maturity level is so low, let alone solicit a child for sex. What makes someone attracted to children? Are there really that many predators, or does the news just play it up? Why are people so interested in it?

If so, is it your fault or not?
How much responsibility are you willing to take if any?

I dreamt about me and a friend of mine (he's a boy) holding hands. It's like, he doesn't want me to leave or something. And when I woke up and checked my phone, there was a message from him! He said 'good morning.' I totally felt weird. Does it mean anything?!

your son has told you he is gay? I always had a feeling that he might be and I think I am dealing with it all quite well but my heart breaks for him too. Does anyone understand this situation? Why have I just had to resign from my job because of my homophobic boss? This is crap...I am proud of myself for sticking up for him but now I have lost my job...is this the way it is always gonna be?

Is female circumcision ever practiced in the United States? I didn't think it was, but I saw something that implied that it is. Just wondering, I guess.

Mine happened this morning when I was getting in my mom's car. I was about to buckle my seatbelt and I ended up smacking myself in the head with an umbrella that I brought along due to the high chance of rain. Go ahead and laugh; I'm alright and I've laughed at it too.

I see a counselor for manic depression (bipolar) & she said that I don't know who I am. I lived with my parents, then a boyfriend, then back home, then I got married (got pregnant) then got divorced. Moved back into my parents home during my pregnancy. Now am a single mom and live on my own. But I don't know who I am. I am suppose to find myself.

How do I find myself? I am co-dependent on others and I am suppose to break from this and depend on myself. How do I do this? Anyone else going thru this?

The articles outlining the duties of a SAHM with corresponding salaries are a tribute to mothers. They are intended to make you think about all the things your mother has done for you, or your wife has done for your children. Mothers DESERVE recognition in appreciation for everything they do. Remember Mothers Day is coming soon. Coincidence?

I don’t think anyone really expects mothers to be paid a salary, but it IS nice to assess the value of the work from time to time.

Why don’t people see this for what it is?

I seems odd, because the world is male dominated, that alot of men still regret not being born as a woman. In Thailand alone, male to female transexuals total about 30% of the population. I read somewhere, that 10,000 American men opt for a sex change operation every year. So why is this? Is there something about being a woman that I'm missing out on?
