In this day and age, there is a consensus about what material is suitable for what age group.

It allows film censors to determine what is appropriate for which audience.

It allows educators to select content for their students in topics as diverse as sexual health and classic literature.

I have noticed that there is a tendency for certain people to condemn posts with any reference to sexuality simply because they are about sexuality, and not because they are legally unsuitable for their audience.

To cater for such delicate constitutions, would the film industry, and other like institutions benefit from amending their rating descriptions, for example to

Suitable for normal 13 year olds, may offend some over 30's?

I know sound silly but I talk to my mother a few times already but i still feel like not everything is out in the open. I feel like it should be she said she good and no for me to worry so why do I worry. Should I tell her how I feel in a note to her or talk to her again in person. Im afraid to get eyerolls from her or shrugs. Or should I just not say anything and just deal with how sad I feel by myself.

You go to the beach, and girls wear a bikini that looks like three strategically-placed Doritos and a pipe cleaner in the back.

This is a common notion among women, in that they display practically EVERYTHING, yet think they're saving their vaginal slit and their areola for that special someone to see.

Granted, I'm not referring to every women, but those who wear hardly anything are a little perplexing to say the least.

if someone hurts me, I'll get so violent that I would like to torture them. but I'm so shy that you wouldnt believe I'm like that. if everyone is happy around me, I'll be fine. but if not, if loved ones hurts me, I can get very violent. so far I didnt do anything, but if I would, then I would also very regret. I dont know what to do. couples can argue a lot, but if I'm emotionally hurt, then I can also get violent and I'm affraid to have a girlfriend. I dont wanna hurt her. but if it happens that she would broke up with me, I'm affraid that I would lose my head and do something very horrible. currently I'm blaming years of playing violent video games and actually I never had a girlfriend before, so I really dont know how it feels to be loved. maybe thats my problem.

I'm not even agressive person. now I'm affraid to get in love wiht people. whats wrong with me?

"A few years ago a similar US study, based on the government-funded National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, linked adolescent female depression and suicide with adolescent sexuality. The study found that about 25% of sexually active girls say they are depressed all, most or a lot of the time, while only 8% of girls who are not sexually active feel the same. While 14% of girls who have had intercourse have attempted suicide, only 5% of sexually inactive girls have."

Is it that girls who are depressed are also sexually active? Is there a third cause linking the two? Is teen sexuality *causing* depression in girls? I'm unable to find any study linking the two in teenage boys, what do you make of that? (Assuming that there is not a link, although you might assume that there simply is no study.)

I am always positive, I have always seen good in the bad, a lesson to be learned. I have watched in my life things unfold out of the bad that were good. BUT I'm just not sure how long I can hang on. It seems like I'm being pounded with bad things right this moment.
I'm a single mom, I work(ed) hard to keep our family above water, I am on the edge of losing everything on a daily basis, I live day to day.
I lost my love 5 months ago, my support system. I lost my job 2 days ago, and today I lost my car. At any given point my landlord can evict me. I'm behind in everything. I have $30 to my name an no money coming in for a while.
I know, I know...I have internet, but it's my sanity...I could do without but I would just feel secluded and isolated. I have no one, just me and my kids.
What do you make of this?
How can I keep positive, that just doesn't seem to be working anymore.

I'm not asking for a 'catchy slogan' to sell something. I'm asking about 'human nature'. For example: Why people give easily attention to someone famous? Once somebody is famous, can go to a completely other field without needing to work for it. A famous politician can get the role of a main actor and a famous actor can go into a political career. Once one is famous one can do whatever and one will have success, even without being good. You can see it here in 'answers.yahoo': Deepak Chopra asks a question that is not especially good but there are more than thousand answers, while similar questions receive just a few. That's why companies like to make advertisements with famous people for their dubious products.
If someone has an experience wanting to share this, because it would help people, but can't get their attention, because what is offered is not just on the daily attention level, what can one do to get to people so that they get interested to try out something new for them?
