WHY??

We have a baby daughter who knows her alphabet, counts up to five (skips a few trying to go higher), is starting to read words (without the pictures) and has a vocabulary that is huge and growing. She speaks in two or three word sentences, can lift herself up by her arms (not quite a pull-up) and hang on things quite comfortably, as well as climb quite well up ladders and other objects (she's quite strong).

She's eighteen months old.

We are looking for groups interested in helping a child like this reach their potential. Anyone out there? Are there such groups? Or are we wasting our time and should just continue what we're doing?

I recently turned 30. Ever since I moved out of my boyfriend's house 2 months ago (we are still together in the relationship, I just wanted to try living on my own and be independent for once in my life), I have become increasingly depressed. My job is great/no complaints, I have friends/family who care for me, but I still feel as if my Life right now has no purpose or direction. I know where I WANT for it to go (More than anything I want to be a mom and raise a family/my boyfriend has no interest in this right now), so I don't know what to do with myself in this "waiting period.". Watching tv, going to the movies, hanging out at the pool seem like I'm just wasting the days away. I am bored to death. I have hobbies like creative writing and arts/crafts, but they have become boring as well, as they are a means to what end? I find them a purposeless waste of time. I don't know what to do. I want to feel like I am living again..does anyone else feel this way and how to deal with it???

i have always considered self-harming a sign of weakness and a need for attention, and my family knew how i felt and hated the subject... but the other day i saw my little brother's stomach and wrists and realised that he has been doing it lately. i am unsure how to act now as he knows all my opinions on the subject.
My brother and i are very close, and he normally seems a happy, well-balanced guy, so i don't understand why he is doing it, either. It also hurt that he hid it from me and lied.

any suggestions on how i should react as a caring sibling? i have a feeling shrieking "you f*cking moron, what are you doing?" wouldn't help, and it would sound insincere if i was suddenly miss i-understand- what-you're-going- through.

And why is he doing it? Attention? I know its bad that i feel dissapointed in him, but i do; he has a wonderful life. Any advice on how to deal with him would be wonderful - i know im not the most tolerant or understanding of people.

he's only 14.

I have a certain fetish and this sucks

Why do i think that only pregnant women are cute and attractive to me? I need to force myself so hard to ignore a pregnant woman with my looks when I see one. I like the way a pregnant girl smiles, the way she glows in her face, her big baby belly... I got tons of movies with pregnant woman, and more pictures of celebrities being pregnant... am I twisted. Why I only think knocked up girls are sexy. Is this a psycholocial problem, (I am not having a mother since my childhood)...

Please help me, because I wanna get rid of that fetish.

not which is more likely to be true, but rather, which are you more likely to believe?

I have not always been a good person. I have done what I could to survive a bad marriage, horrible job and health issues. I've lied, cheated and done what it took to provide for my family. But now, I can't deal with it anymore and I want to make a change for the good. How do I do it? What do I say to people I've hurt? I didn't mean to hurt them but I did, how do I fix that?

I mean really, people talk how they are the bedrock of America, but really does anyone want to be a laborer? You'll never see a reality show where people compete to marry a mechanic or something....

since religion can be defined by a belief structure wouldnt that make psychology a religion? Since most people believe that the mind is the most powerful thing on earth how could psychology be excluded as a religion?
