Ok, so i have a pretty messed up family life, and im pretty messed up myself, and my mom wanted to get one for me when i was young but my dad said no, finally my mom managed to sneak me (literally) to a doctor to see if i was depressed, and luckily enough i am. so im going to see a psychologist, and im kind of nervous, because its hard for me to talk about my life, not because im afraid of letting others know, but because it makes me realize how horrible it really is and i like to block it out, so naturally i break down and cry, and i don't like to seem very vulnerable while crying. so what do i do?

Two people, strangers, a brown ugly guy and an asian girl were having sex in front of me. The guy had a really small piece and was having some trouble putting it in. Finally he did and they started doing it. Right after that I woke up. The second dream was that I found myself in the mall and I was looking for an orange shirt. I couldn't find it anywhere. What do these dreams mean?
(I'm in a fight with my boyfriend right now.)

I had a dream that I had a baby girl with my boyfriend. It wasn't a sad dream, every one was happy. But in the dream the baby looked like i was about 3 months old, had on a yellow bonnet, and was laughing and giggling. What does this mean?

I am writing a paper on how men and women both face body image issues. Any ideas for a good, creative, catchy title?

How much of ability is talent versus practice?
According to this article: http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2006/08/talent_and_practice.php
Genetic talent has little or nothing to do with expert ability. Do you believe that?
And also, is reaction time something that can be trained, or does it require inate ability? Or does it require early training to acquire, and just can't be acquired later in life?

I could never tell anyone my secrets... if people found out they'd look at me differently.

I've been reading about a type of birth control pill that's in development now- the man takes it, rather than the woman. As far as I can tell, it's not hormonal. What do you think?

I am 15 and I hate the idea of getting drunk and taking drugs, I really don't see the point. I am also terrified of the thought of people throwing up.
The problem is everyone in my year seems obsessed with that.
How do I go through my teenage years not being a loser, but avoiding all that?
I have loads of friends but I dont really want to go to all those parties.

im 30 with borderline personality disorder, ive never been employed, dropped out of high school through bullying, never made friends, never been in a relationship, never gained qualifications or had any nice times in life.
i live alone in a one bedroom flat.
i feel like im being denied what others have..a good job..a direction..fullfillment..a pretty girlfriend..security..happiness.

i want all those things, ive never had but most of all i want to leave the uk.....move abroad...far away outside europe.....a fresh start...a new beggining.
i want to live in a small little desert town with few populace...the odd pepsi machine outside the dimly lit saloons....a loving partner...a secure home...couple of friends....a good job.
these are my dreams...my desires.. my hopes..my needs...
but paranoia is making me think other people are controlling my life...stopping me from achieving those things.

all my internet friends 1 or 2 have rejected me, im lonely, no direction

A problem in many industrialized countries is what is called "below replacement fertility". This means that women have, on average, less than 2.1 children over the course of a lifetime. This leads to some serious economic problems, because a small population of young people cannot adequetly support a large population of old people. In recent years, the UN Population Division (official UN statistical analysts) has sounded the alarm about below replacement fertility, calling for solutions to help countries experiencing this economic problem.

What do you think we should do about this? It is a very real problem, one that can be dealt with from many different angles. I am eager to hear some different ideas.

I will leave a source from a UN press release, but I warn you, it's incredibly dull reading. But to avoid hearing, "that's not true, prove it.", I will provide it for you:

since the majority of women (whether wanting to admit or not) like a man who is stronger and more dominant than them...and women are becoming stronger, wouldn't we be putting more pressure on men to become even stronger to handle today's women? I wonder how much pressure men feel.

I know the question got too strong with too many strongs, but read it twice if you must :) And I'm not talking about physical strength.

Which are you, and which is it better to be? At heart I am a leader, but no one follows me; I'm a lonesome leader. When I am the follower I don't get any respect and I don't like following people. I want to have my own opinions and do what I want, but is that good even when people don't follow?

What drives a human being to deem a little baby creature that is not even of our species "cute?"

Where does it come from and what are the practical uses of this "cute."

Is it something that is instinctual? Or something that comes from greater human faculties?

Why are some human beings that have reached adulthood also considered "cute" by some?
