Perky, perfect Carolyn and her Alpha Omega Pi sisters plan to win Sorority of the Year by impressing the Greek Council with a killer charity: coaching mentally challenged athletes for the regional Challenged Games. When Carolyn's assigned to coach Pumpkin she's terrified at first, but soon sees in him something she's never seen before: a gentle humanity and honest clarity that touches her soul. To the horror of her friends and Pumpkin's overprotective mother, Carolyn falls in love, becoming an outcast in the process. As Carolyn's "perfect life" falls apart, Pumpkin teaches her that perfect isn't always perfect after all.

"I'm not special, and I'm not retarded."

It's maybe easy for us to jugde that someone's smart. But how about yourself? How do you know that you're smart?

People told me that I'm smart, I work hard, I always got good marks, but I actually I've never thought that I'm smart. I always think that I'm a lazy girl, I didn't work that hard, I always regret that I can't get a better score, I think that I'm just stupid.

What can I do?

Between my entire woman and me!… You don't have the RIGHT to tell me how to live my life, so drop the whole "societal norm" stuff.

In our culture, before the wedding a woman is put on a horse or mule, side saddle, and then knocked off when she least expects it...this way, he head will never swell with false pride, and her mouth will never utter a foul word toward the leader of the family.

Look at your American culture...you woman are the most unhappy female in the entire world. You work like dogs, you spend until you have no money, your gadgets and cell phone and walkmans are useless, and empty. Your marriages are shams. You idle gossip and backbite like vicious animals. Your programs on TV promote infidelity, and multiple partners (without a oath to God of marriage), and yet you judge your men so harshly.

Is it any wonder you get the wrath of your man/boyfriend and even husband for trying to BE a man?

Now what say you, "modern", insolent woman? Tell us, NOW!

This is something I have struggled with my whole life. I feel worthless or depressed unless I have a girlfriend or a woman who is giving me attention. I am wondering if this is just the way things are or if there are actually people out there who are happy without this validation??

I'm 21 and I do not drive. I have a lot of anxiety so I worry about the littlest things for a long time. I have a fear of driving like I think about every little aspect of it and how I could get hurt or harm someone else. I went to see a psychiatrist about it and told him how I want to drive because it would mean more independence. Then he was talking about me moving out of my house and into an apartment because I do not want to dorm at school (he was getting ahead of himself). I feel like I need medicine to help me. I shy away from social situations and when I am in them with people I don't know my face turns red. All he focused on was me going to take the test to get my license and getting a driving instructor. I'm like my parents tell me to take the test all the time and I am paying him $20.00 to tell me that. How can him just saying do this and do that help me? Should he have discussed the problem with me further?

During a get-together with colleagues, that's how someone described me over a few glasses of wine in my presence, obviously meaning well. But... is being "laconic" a good thing?

my sister has acted like this for a long time now but recently it has gotten worse,( please dont tell me to get her help I have tried over and over and she dosnt want help, she dosnt think anything is wrong). Anyway the problem is that she likes to cause other people pain and likes to play sick ritualistic games, she likes to hurt others and then sit back and watch them suffer!! She hurts children too but she always covers her butt before any child service agencies can catch her, then when she gets away with it she braggs about how badly she hurt the innocent child. She just likes to play tourture games and then watch how the person or child reacts and you can see it in her eyes its like she gets off on it. And yes I have been around and witnessed this! I know what needs to be done I just want to know what might be wrong with her????? and what kind of person am I really dealing with here?

So many different inventions.
The stone age didn't end because they ran out of stones.
It took us 10000 years to put wheels on out suitcases.
Our homes wouldn't be the same without a can opener.
Which single invention made the biggest change for mankind?

I used to have these dreams consistently to the point I was terrifed of going to sleep. The last time happened I fell asleep in my living room on the couch...?

Sometimes I feel Pressure on my chest like someone is trying to suffocate me and and everytime I aske for help I feel more pressure and physical pain, then I wake up only to realize I'm still sleeping and the dream repeats, unlil I finallly wake up and I start crying because I'm really awake..

When I sink through my bed I get that feeling in my stomach (similar to when your on a rollarcoaster)

About me- im a 14 yr old girl with a boyfriend and i love him very much...but this dream...Okay so i went to the ocean like, 2 weeks ago, which explains the ocean part.
In my dream, im with an older guy, maybe 15 or 16. And we r on a highway, but everybody walks on it, as if cars werent real. I see the ocean over between ramps, and i grab the guys wrist and pull him saying about how we should go to the ocean. He smiles and grabs my hand, but i tell him i have a boyfriend. He says it doesnt matter to him if it doesnt matter to me. So suddenly we're at a pool and we r sitting and talking, then he kisses me. Then, in a flash, im at a hotel with my parents alone and i say "no im dating John, i dont like Jacob". So i guess the new guys name was jacob. but i dont even know a jacob. Then in another flash, im on the beach with that jacob guy, making out on a blanket under stars. Does this dream mean anything important? Is it wrong for me to like it?
