Or am I just weird? I'm sure it's a recognised psychological thing though, like looking down from a great height and imagining yourself jumping off, or picking up a knife and thinking about stabbing yourself. What's all that about?

There's a guy who gets the same bus as me every day and I can't stand his face. I don't know the guy, I've never even heard hom speak but I can't stand him. Why is my brain doing this? Is it some kind of primeval instinct kicking in?

sometimes i get really bad nightmares, and when i wake up i'm still scared and have to calm myself down before i can go back to sleep again....if i don't calm myself down or make myself not scared anymore, then i have more nightmares after i fall back asleep. i'm 20 years old and have had vivid dreams all of my life, but i'm wondering if this is normal, or if i should have grown out of it as a child?

I was watching the news and it clearly stated that kindergartners are gettting on avrage 3 hours of homework a week. I saw this question, "How can I get my 7 year old to focus in school?" and thought it was silly. The poor thing is 7 years old and cannot fully comprehend why we're stressing him out, he must be confused and worried all the time.

I think we're putting to much pressure on kids 3rd grade and below to be model students. That's to much, their brains havn't developed and they don't understand the meaning of this hard work and probebly don't even remember it within the next 10 minuets.

How do you think so much pressure on little children is affecting them mentaly and physicly?

Lots of victims of abuse live ignoring the fact of what has happened to them. It's simply, the past... But I know from experience that the night mares never seem to go away, that anything can trigger a memory such as a smell, a song, a place...and do many years have past I live in the fear that it may happen again to me or a loved one...
Please , help!

why do I feel grateful for having been with this person even though it's over. i don't long for anyone else and i don't understand why people always say that you can keep someone in your heart forever but find another person to move on with.

why is that when no one else can ever replace him and the memories keep me feeling loved.

thanks.

I answered another question on this subject from a mother with a boy who plays with a skateboard. I also proposed a question on gender misidentification in children. I noticed that the boys in my school who play on skateboards and have long hair often have the hair unkempt and cut class a lot or ditch. Oh by the way it's lunch in my school and im on my laptop in the library (they have the wireless internet) Ok have to go very soon. I think that these boys refuse to style and groom their hair because they might be mistook for girls since young teens of either sex look similar and often you can only tell them apart by things such as short hair, or what they are wearing. These boys fear being mistaken for girls so have unkempt hair so that will not happen.

I notice that more than one person in a family can have a problem with anger is this genetic or conditioning (nature/nurture)?

Is excessive anger a sign of any mental illness?

What are the consequences of lacking to control anger?


What makes a usually rational person be able to justify doing something that is not? What is going on biochemically in the brain at this time.

****************** I realize that there are a great deal of questions here. I know there are knowledgable people on answers. Just answer what you can or desire. I appreciate any explanation of this topic********************

Can a person learn to control anger or can excessive anger be treated in some way?

I wonder if it's just our nature to be really judgemental, or if it's something everyone learns at some point because we're all so insecure, and it helps us cope with that?
What do you think of judging others? How do you deal with it?

if yes, would it be correct to say that the poor would be considered the problem child, the ones who acts out, in order to gain attention? And if this is known, why not try to correct this problem in the country known to be the richest in the world?
