Girl #1: Physical: Tall, skinny, dyed-blonde hair, green eyes, perfectly proportioned facial features, perfect figure, flawless skin, basically perfect. Personality: Horrible. Backstabbing, rude, selfish, the works. Rather boring, doesn't have social skills. Pretty stupid. However, you want to be seen with her because she's pretty.

Girl #2: Physical: Average height and weight, brunette, brown eyes, OK facial features and proportions, pleasant looking, but sort of plain. Personality: Sparkling, clever, funny, generous, etc. Intelligent, carries a good conversation, outgoing, lively. You don't necessarily want to be seen with her, because she's not considered 'pretty' or 'popular'.

Which girl would you rather spend time with?

I conducted this survey anonymously a while back and the response was overwhelmingly #1. Thoughts?

Some guy mentioned one of my questions as a reason for having an anxiety attack. Is that kind of overreacting? I dont know. I think so. I mean, I didnt want to cause that. But I was concerned about people not getting medical attention because they were asking for advice here. My intentions were pure. Now I've caused an anxiety attack. What's a man to do?

Anyway, why is it that some people think it's OK to say anything here. Unless they disagree?

Hi.

Is it normal or should i say usual for young children who have been sexually abused to start touching themselves at an early age? Obviously children do not masturbate as they are too young to understand the sexual part of it all most often?

Please do not give any insensitive answers as this is a very serious question and topic and can hurt many people.

thank you to anyone who answers kindly.

I feel really empty a lot of the time, like I'm missing something, then I'll get confused, and it will probably end up with me crying. This happens a lot, especially during school. Its a really weird feeling, like I can't breathe, but I'm still breathing. It only happens when I'm talking to people. It doesn't matter where, like if I'm home alone IMing a friend, or in school talking to someone, but it seems to always happen near people, but its never the same person. They aren't saying anything bad, or offensive. Its not like school is horrible, either.

Does this ever happen to anyone? I think its normal, just checking though. Thanks.

About 6 years ago I got an A grade for my A-level maths. However in one of the modules I took in a program (on my casio calculator) to use in an exam, and this was strictly forbiden.

When I created the program I was so chuffed at that achievement that I just wanted to test it out!

One thing I know for sure is that had I not taken the program in I am 100% sure I would have got an A grade anyway. BUT I still feel guitly!

Since then I have got a Maths BSc butI still feel guitly because of this A-level thing, I feel as though my BSc is not genuine since I only got onto it cos of my tainted A-level.

So the question begs Why do I still feel guilty about it?!!! And please this is not trivial- it really is eating up at me to the point where Im depressed.

I am thinking about calling the A-level board so that I can renounce my grade, as I see this as being the only way of removing the guilt that I have

And I have stopped applying for Jobs as I feel my qualifacations are false.
