i used to get jealous, but now i've learned to love myself and be greatful for the assets that i have-because there are probably people out there who wouldn't mind having them themselves. I mean, what's the point of hating on someone when you'll never be them? why not just love yourself and work on yourself and forget the rest?

Suicide is really something a lot of people think about. I think more people think about it than would let on in real life. So be honest...and state yes or no...has suicide crossed your mind? And why?

I just want to know why people get so defensive when I ask a question and have had no bias? I mean, I'm just asking questions, and I rarely submit my own view whilst asking a question on here? Yeh, I ask what people think about Bush and Tyra Banks...IT'S MY JOB.

So I want somebody...ANYBODY...to explain why get so defensive when I haven't attacked anyone?

Girls in my grade are terrible to me. Im in the tenth grade. I generally keep to my self and talk to my friends. Im pretty nice to people but some girls are out to get me. Im not really popular in my grade or that pretty. I'm 5'4 120 pounds and get harassed because of my breast size. Im a 38 D. People say they are fake and say I have eating disorders. This one girl Kasie is truly a b*tch. She calls me ugly ( shes not a looker herself), trys to put me down, makes up lies about me, insults other people, brags about how people want to sleep with her ( shes kinda easy), and will brag about material things. Im so sick of her. she trys and kicks me in the face during gym. I really hate her and she talks to me about her life problems and thinks she can be a ***** to me. Shes trying to steal my friends boyfriend. This other girl Kym hates me for no reason and will wave and say hi to me. I waved back to be polite, and she started cracking up. I hate them. What should I do?

I have heard about how these idiots justify their actions, but would love to hear one ,interfaced, give his story---one who reformed and one who didn't. I have seen these meetings on TV. I find that fascinating. I love psychology.

Do you think ADD, ADHD, and similar disorders are ( in most cases ) NOT ALL,
That they are a medical crutch for bad parenting?
( I understand there are SOME people than NEED this medication )
There are many that I believe do NOT!

I'm a 16 year old girl and have for the past few monthes encountered several situations in which my gut has told me what to do or think... in my case they've been about a guy problem. Since i've seen these work i was wondering if it's safe to put some trust in my intuition. Also, i'm wondering why it's said that women have a better intuition and what exactly and intuition does. Thanks!

8 years ago, I started to have extreme intrusive thoughts that bother and haunted me for 1.5 years. During that time, my mind and thinking was so messed up that I can practically imagine and doubt myself on anything. After that period, for some unknown reason, I was able to experience peace and calm for the next 5 years without worrying too much about the thoughts that haunted me before. During that time, I still have bad thoughts but I felt a sense of control over them and did not allow myself to be dominated by them. However, since 2005, I started to have flashbacks of the experience of 8 years ago. It got gradually worse this year since I kind of "identified"/"associated" with those flashbacks and thoughts. Now, does having those flashback thoughts mean I am going through the same ordeal again (ie. I am reliving the terrible experience) or am I simply having a flashback attack but I have generally already recovered and is different from the first time?

After many years of struggling with explosive anger, unstable emotional swings, substance abuse, suicide attempts, and a constant battle with anorexia, I recently had an epiphany and connected the dots in a way that all my previous psychiatrists have failed to do. I'm almost certain that I have Borderline Personlity Disorder, and after mentioning it to others they agree with me. The only issue now is what do to.

I have never gotten a long with my shrinks because I'm far more intelligent than they are, and just sit there playing mind games with them. And I'm not positive that I want to be "fixed", as I see nothing wrong with me, but I do realize that my behavior and mood affect everyone around me.

So, I guess I'm asking what to do now. I'm heavily medicated and positive that this is the organic issue, but am at a loss with what to do.

I will never believe that a 100% straight men would knowingly ever date a post-op transgender women. They may look like women but nothing can change the fact they were born men. The ones who verbally support transwomen by addressing them as her, or including her in women's only activities will always carry in their hearts the knowledge that this is not a real women. Some would even say its a multilated man.
If you are a straight men would you want to date a biological women or a transgender man who look like a women.

I just don't understand how they can be too embarrassed to get help in a situation that they know is not their fault.

hello. I am a 22 year old female. With no major health problems. about 2 years ago (summer of 2005) for some reason I started loosing memory. I didn't think much of it in the beginning. But i couldn't remember simple things that i had done or thought about a few minutes before that. So i started writing things on sticky notes to help me. at one point my room was full of sticky notes. so this has progressed now 2 years later..(not progessed much) but i still can't remember things that are so simple. Like i couldn't remember the world "lemonade" when i was trying to order a drink. I can't remember where i put things only a few days ago.. any ideas what this could be from?

The times in my life where boredom didn't affect me were the same times my life was very simple, routine, and boring 24 hours-7 days/ week. It's when I am working, partying, doing new things then come home to reruns on Fox that I get the itch to "do something!" How about you?

But you put wild ducks together in a pen and they have no one from their species to breed with, then the males will breed with the females. Seems to me it weould be the same with humans. You could dump a million whites and blacks in the center of the city and with no coersion or outside interference you could come back 5 years later and they would totally separated. I've come to believe this is why blacks and whites are forced to go to school together and why they bussed kids all over the place. There can't be another reason.

Anyone have any childhood memories before the age of two? I've heard of people being able to remember incidences from being a toddler and even a baby. The earliest one I have is probably from about the age of two. I know this because I was already walking.I know I wasn't older than this though because I was talking and it must have come out as baby talk because no one could understand what I was saying. I remember the frustration I felt because I knew exactly what I was trying to communicate, but my mom kept asking me "what?" over and over. I remember I was trying to ask why so many people were sitting on our couch, but I must have just been babbling all kinds of things. I always thought this was really interesting because I can remember the emotions I felt, the frustration at having to repeat myself and wandering why no one could understand me. Anyone else have any very young memories?

I have an in-law in the home w/ mult personality disorder.
How do I maintain order in my home when she "freaks out" or acts like a baby, or yells at someone in the home because one of her "alters" is bothered by our normal behavior?
Do I believe she really has this? Can these negative "personalities" be triggered back to an appropriate one?
Any help would be great as this is my brothers wife, living with us, and I don't want to kick them out every day.
