I never thought I would be the kind of person that I am today. Everything I used to love I now hate, and I am doing things I know i could get in a lot of trouble for- like drinking, smoking, doing drugs, shoplifting, etc. The only times I can have fun is when I am partying, but all the rest of the time, like when I am at home or in school I am deeply depressed. I don't want to fallow the path I am on because I know it won't lead to good things. But what should I do, because the path to "success"- going to school, getting a job, etc. - is so boring and depressing it makes me want to shoot myself. But those things are what life is all about, right?

This is for a novel that I am writing.

This little girl is 7yrs old.. Her name is Lily. She was raised by a man named paul, who exploits her abilities for his own selfish gain.

Lily is taught to obey commands from someone she considers as poweful. She obeys Paul's every command, like a dog. She has been used to kill innocent people, even her own mother.

When Paul was arrested for kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Lily was asleep at the time. She was taken to a childrens home. When she wakes up, she realizes that her master isnt here. She threatens to kill the other children if noone takes her to him. The staff injected some drug that calms her down. Lily doesnt want to play with the other children. She's always alone.

The other children are afraid of her, so if she see people run away from her, she gets apprehensive.

She's 7 yr old, and she can barely speak. I think the only word she can say is "Master" nothing else.

How would you describe this girl?

Despite being called "his pet". she actually takes that as a sign of love. She really shows affection for him. Paul is the only one she knows.

She doesnt know what a mommy or daddy is. She can't talk at all.

Do you guys think she has a mental disorder? If so what Is it and how can it be treated?

First of all... I DO NOT LIKE THESE THOUGHTS!!! I really needed to make that perfectly clear. I can't stand it...

For about a month now horrible sexual thoughts about children (even those in my own family!) have been popping into my mind, it makes me so sick that I sometimes have to grab my head, tilt back, and scream just to get it to go away. It looms over everything I do.

Part of the problem seems to be that I'm obsessing over it, instead of just letting it pass. But can you blame me? Every time one of these thoughts pops into my head, I try to fight it away, which only seems to make it stronger.

My biggest fear is that these thoughts will follow me for the rest of my life, and I'm only 16! I worry that thoughts such as these will stop me from experiencing life to it's fullest, and I fear I'll never be fit to start a family of my own because of it.

So what should I do? Up to this moment in my life I've always been sure I was a good person, now I don't know what to believe...

I'm doing my research paper on "Why do men rape women? Is it a psychological disturbance or cultural deviance?"
I have to present both sides objectively with at least 2 academic journals presenting each side. I've found 2 articles for the cultural deviance position but not the other position. Any ideas of where I can find journals to support that men rape women because they are psychologically disturbed? I've already tried Google Scholar and my school's journal host such as PsycInfo.
Thanks for your help!

I have no love/sex life whatsoever and the truth is I feel like I simply exist and not live. I get the blues a lot and I don't feel motivated to do things. Could this be because of my poor love life? What problems does absence of it cause? Can it lead to depression?

i've been wondering this for a while. usually when people rough house with me and if i end up getting a small cut or get a tiny bruise i forgive them. i dont get angry and go berzerk or anything. sometimes when people get really angry at me(friends at school) and they do something mean(saying mean things, shoving, ya know that kinda stuff) i tend to forgive them and forget all about it.
i have never fought with anyone, and i(for some reason) forgive every one who has done anything to me.
so what i'm asking is, am i too nice? is that a bad thing? does god want me to be this nice or less nice?
thanks in advance!
(i am 15)

i never yell at a conflict, i always handle problems calmly, also i would never ever strike my hand upon somone. so again, am i being too nice, or is it maturity? :P

i also believe what everyone says unless i know it's an obvious lie. am i naive?

I'm a nice guy, who is laid back, smiley etc. but I struggle to look people in the eyes. I'm only comfortable talking or listening when looking at the ground of just slightly past them. It lets me down I think, and possible makes me seem insincere.
Why do I do this? What does it say about me?

Almost every night I am having nightmares about dead people and giving them autopsies and seeing ghosts. Last night I had a nightmare that there was a guy sledding and he died. Ghost armed forces was trying to resuscitate him. He ended up in my bedroom half cut up. My mother saw him and finished the autopsies in my bedroom. I awoke at 4:30am and was up ever since. This was my nightmare and does anyone know what it could be??

what makes you so sure or unsure? Be specific as to your reasons because everybody has different decisions to make, i want to know what is it that makes you feel that you know (really) know whats best for you.. or maybe you don't know. It could be about marriage, career, peace of mind, etc. pls. be specific.
