My friend has Asperger's and is getting married. But his fiancee seems to be manipulative, telling him what to do. Now he's doing things he never liked to do before because she told him to. My other friends and I think maybe she is controlling him because he wants to fit in and be "normal."

"A deranged man wearing what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his chest walked into a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign office Friday, took several hostages and demanded to speak to the candidate, authorities said.

The man released at least three hostages as the afternoon wore on, but nearly four hours after the standoff began, police said they were still dealing with a hostage situation and the man had not been taken into custody" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071130/ap_on_re_us/clinton_office_hostages ).

Why are women's attempts to gain power so often countered with male violence?

There are lots of things that people can get addicted to, besides booze and/or drugs. Why do people discount other types of addictions? What other type of addictions do you think there are?

This is a serious question - I'm not being flipant about this.

Well, let me tell you about me so you can tell...

Wherever I go, I want that people all look at me. At public places, I always laugh loud or speak loudly on purpose because I want people to stare.
I have this attitude that is all "Yay Look at Me" and I act cute so I can be the center of attention. Well, all I do to get attention works, but the thing is that I want to have all eyes on me and I'm quite spoiled, I admit...

Hey guys please don't make jokes because this is serious, I'm worried.

Why am I so attention seeking? Well my parents never gave me much attention, but my grandparents and my dad always spoiled me...

Well, help?

How do you help, someone you love, and care for deeply that doesn't see their personality problem. He is self destructive and his life is like a whirl winding going down hill to the point of no return. He is like a tornado reaking havoc everywhere he goes. He is 33 years old and still acts like a child taking no responsibility having babies everywhere, He has an anger problem and goes through rages, has a trust problem with women, has a bad relationship with his mother, He is in jail now, pleaded guilty for assaulting his girlfriend breaking her nose, one minute he says hes admits he's wrong and in another he's still shows anger. He's upset with the penalty given to him by the judge, which was more time in jail and a rehab. program called D.A.R.T He doesn't want help, yes, has a drinking and smoking weed problem.
While in jail his moods are eractic from angry to lucid then act as if nothing is really all that bad.

My 88 year Nan had a stroke 6 months ago, and has just been moved to a rest home from hospital. My Grandad died in October of this year, but she doesn't really understand, as she's also developed dementia.

She has lost a TON of weight, and is now literally just skin and bones- you can see all her ribs and she looks awful. She's just point blank refusing to eat- even her favourite foods.

The dr has suggested that she has an operation to insert a tube into her stomach, to feed her that way.

However, me and my Mum, (Nan's daughter), are the only family left, and don't know what to do. On one side, of course we do not want her to suffer and starve to death, but on the other hand, I do not want to force an operation on her that she wouldn't want. It's impossible to talk to her as she's so ill with the dementia.

Does anyone know much about this peg feeding, or been in the same situation and able to offer advice?

Thank you,

Eva x

I wonder sometimes when I see homeless people if they just want to live that way or are too ignorant to find a better solution to their problem.

I'm 20 and an adult already, but still, i'm the youngest in my family and my parents consider me a "little girl". Well I'm almost 23 wks preg and no one knows, except for 4 of my friends. I got preg from a guy I was just "getting with", who is and wont be supportive, and that no one knows him either; plus he's 11 yrs older than me. I'm in college and work part-time, but i'm still living with my parents and actually depend on them for almost everything. i always thought about having an abortion, but i knew that would be a stupid decision after all. I mean, all i have left to do is try to find a way and the right time to tell my parents about it, but its very awkward 'cause they probably think im still a virgin (my parents are mexican and very conservative). Im scared that they will find out themselves and be more mad at me, especially because i have been hiding my pregnancy but i won't be able to do that sooner or later. I also dont want to tell em anything about the father of the baby

I'm a good looking guy, so I attract people and make friends very easily. The problem is, I usually end up distancing myself from people or vice versa.

What is wrong with me? I keep trying to make new friends, yet I can't open up to anyone and I can't get to know anyone pass the acquaintance level.

Do I need to seek therapy or read some self-help books?

Here are some details about me, please read it, and tell me if I do in fact have a personality problem or not.

1) I'm very sensitive to negative criticisms.
2) I don't like being told what to do, by anyone.
3) Tell me to do something in a rude way and I'll resent you.
4) When acquaintances ignore me when walking pass me or don't greet me when they see me, I'll end up not liking them.

things like those.

Man is a bundle of bones clothed in muscle and fitted with communication nerves. As a base of this gross body, he has a subtle body too. It has its own hunger and thirst and life cannot be happy unless these too are fulfilled - the hunger to return to the Source, a thirst for the nectar that confers immortality. In the search for something to allay this hunger and this thirst, man meets with countless obstacles, for, he does not know the road and is easily misled by his own senses which profess to show him the road. It is only when some disaster or distress overpowers him that he becomes aware of the true path. The true path is the path that reveals the Aathma (self) within.
