Sometimes I feel really depressed and cut myself but I am trying to stop so I heard that if you wear a rubber band and snap it on ur wrist when you feel the urge to cut it will relieve it. So I tried it but my wrist just got really red and swollen during class. I was getting something and I saw my wrista nd whispered to myself "...omg its really swollen" and my teacher heard me and asked in front of the whole class "Why what happened to your arm?" and I was like "Oh...nothing" and started to walk away but then she said "Let Me See Your ARM!" and so I held up my arms purposely not revealing the part that was red, but she knew I was mostly only showing my right arm and said "No the other one..." and I just looked at her and walked away.....

i didnt mean to be disrespectful but she sud hav asked me in private...i was freaked out

Or anything else for that matter.

I'm tired of my generations stupid habit of labeling. In High School you had to have some stupid tag or you didn't make sense, "why are you wearing that hippie skirt?", "Oh my god, your pants are so punk!', "What are you trying to be, preppy?"

Seriously, shut up. Especially you driveling so-called Emo's. What exactly is your philosophy?

Hate the parents who provide for me, be mind-numbingly self-involved and wear dark clothing that embodies the pain I feel inside?

Give me a freaking break.

Look, get over youselves. Forgive and forget, and go get minds of your own. Your parents may have done you wrong, but we're all humans in the end, blah blah blah.

Just, please. Your all stupidly fullfilling the expectations of all them big corporate execs that make billions of of your stupid labeling and desperation for the same-ness thing. Hot Topic is owned by the Gap people, it's the same as Abercrombie and whatever, you go there to look the same.

Why?

There was a special on CNN last night about how scientists are studying happy people with some suprising results. I'm a happy person, I'm a realist optimist, and I'm content with my life. There are somethings missing, but if I never receive those things I would still say my life was completely happy. If I died tomorrw it would be with no regrets or sadness. So I wonder are you happy?

When you were a kid, how'd you think you'de end up?

When you were a teen, who was the person you wanted to be?

Did you turn out this way?
Are you happy with yourself?

Do you think we fullfull our expectations?

Or do we personify mediocrity in our scociety, are we slaves to the cycle?
Wake, eat, work, eat, eat, work, sleep, rinse, wash, repeat.

Are you everything you wanted to be---anything you wanted to be?

And if your not there yet, if you're still in the figuring out part...do you think you'll make it? Do you think you'll be--more?

Or are you destined for the mediocre life, the system, the cycle.
Maybe the cubicle, or the couple who haven't really spoken in years, though they move their mouths at each other.

Is there any passion left in us?

What about the new generation? Is there anything but media-drivel left in them (us, since I am one). Do we have anything to aspire to other than some morons opinion on MTV? Where are our dreams?

Are you the person you wanted to be?

I'm the only child and I'm mainly home alone. So I fantasize about the future and I just day dream and just imagine what would happen if I started dating this person or that person. Also right before I start dating a guy I always start to think about them. When I was living with my aunt and uncle I really never had time for it... n when I'm iwth my friends I don't have time for it. I've been doing this since I was a little girl...but I'm really too old for this. I really want to stop but it's become a habit. So does anybody have any suggestions???

*NOTE: This is freaky.....you have got to try it!*

At the end of this message, you are asked a question.

Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.


Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.


This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the same time! Give it a try,
then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll see how many people
you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject
line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means
after you finish taking the test".


Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.



Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous
one..



You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your
mind.


You'll be surprised.



Start:


How much is:


15 + 6

























3 + 56



























89 + 2

























12 + 53





































75 + 26



































25 + 52





























63 + 32

































I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..


Come on, one more!




























123 + 5























































QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!

My dreams are usual very detailed, vivid and realistic. Like, sometimes, I'll dream up a whole conversation with a friend or colleague, complete with jokes, questions and emotional reactions. There have been a few times when I've dreamt about doing something or talking to someone and it seemed so much like a real memory that I didn't realize it was just a dream until I find out that the action or conversation never took place, either by talking to the person or seeing that I didn't do what I think I did. It was weird and made me think there may be something wrong with me because I also have insomnia sometimes. Anyone else out there ever had their dreams get mixed up with their actual memories?

I am very social driven. I don't have that many friends to talk to, so I get really sad and upset during school. Sometimes I feel that the social meter never gets satisfied.......and thats because I'm shy, have social anxiety disorder, and I never get out the house. I don't have anyone to hang out with, so I just stay inside the house. I just feel really unappreciated right now, and I know I can be a cool guy to talk to. What should I do?!

I try to get attention at home sometimes, but it doesn't work. Every one is either on the phone and interacting, or just too busy. Its not fair. Then I have get upset, but i might chat online or something. I just need to know what to do. i know im not perfect, i have my faults, but i know im a good guy to talk to!

I'm just looking for people that have seen a psychologist about this problem and tips in fixing this problem.

I've gone to one already and my anxiety is so high I can't even trust the Doctor. I couldn't even trust the Psychologist I was seeing. Because I can read people like a book and know alot about people just looking at them. (Yes, I'm a freak)

Yes I workout, that doesn't help much. I don't have anyone I can trust with this and I'm not talking to my parents either. No I'm not taking meds for it either. I'm also not going to be praying to god so please leave those out of you answers.............Thanks!

I'm a 23 year old male virgin studying Psychology at Stanford - I remember learning in my Sociology Class that people who aren't in (or who never had) any intimate relationships cut short their life span by about 15-20 years. Is their any way around this (besides getting a gf)? I want to live as long as I can (whilst remaining a virgin) and it sucks to know that I'll die earlier just because I'll be a single virgin.

How does this biological process work? What are the biological underpinnings of this process? Does it have an evolutionary purpose?

Is it actually true that male virgins older than 20 are looked down at? I thought it was a virtue to remain un-adultered.......and this is coming from an agnostic.

Anyways, any tips any of you have to avoid a shortened life would be great! Thanks!

I have four subject groups. Three test groups and a control, plus I am grouping the test group into a aggregate for comparison to the control. The groups are being measured for seven varibles with seven different scores on standardized test both pre-and post-treatment. What will a ANOVA do? Will it measure the variance between the test? Which data sets should I include, Pre and Post or post only? Do you know of a good on-line calculator for them?

"Behold, I send you out as sheep amidst the wolves." Now I may not have gotten it completely right, but I'm confident that I got it at least mostly right. My question is, simply, what does this line mean to you? Please be as thorough as possible in answering this question :).
