I am scared for school tomorrow. On Friday afternoon, while with my cousin and his friend on the sidewalk, and this group of kids, from my middle school starting talkin sh** to us and then I said "

If u f****** touch my cousin I will punch you!"
and he said
"Then I'll slap you!" He then said "If you touch me, this girl will kick your butt!!!" (pointing to his girl friend) and she looked tough.

so what do i do if they confront me again tomorrow? My dad said dont make confrontation and contact, ignore and if that doesnt work say "I WILL CALL THE POLICE IF U DONT LEAVE ME ALONE"

I am not sure if there is more than one word for love in Singhalese. But if there is, how would you write and say the kind that describes 1. unconditional love....like a Godly love, and 2. a romance?

i was watching NGC last week. it's about lake toba and 3 scientists studying 3 different things dated this BIG event that happened approx 70+ thousand years ago. they dated this event individually using different methods without the others' knowledge(and without knowing the other's estimated tiime). long story short, earth is more than 70 thousand years old.

what do you think?

I mean according to the religious scripture that believe God passes the judgements and administers the torment via hell. I'm not dead yet but that doesn't seem to matter to some Christians.

This is what he wrote me in an e-mail:
"We never really discussed religion much - I consider myself an Agnostic, or one who does not believe in organized religion; I'm not sure about the god question, but I won't say there isn't one. Faith is a very tough issue for me. Most people say it helps when life gets tough; I can't remember a time when my life hasn't been a daily battle for survival. I guess my faith might be a bit worn down after 40+ years. I feel like if there is or was a god, I got left at the curb a long time ago; if I'm going to get to where I need to be, I gotta get there on my own."

How do I answer this?

Why don't some Christians realize that their "holier-than-thou" attitude is full of wicked pride and absent of the virtue of humility? Don't they understand that by projecting this attitude, they alienate more and more people from a faith that is supposed to save mankind?

I am so scared of asking this question because I know what you all will say.

OK where to begin. I live in Australia, in the outback. I live hundreds and hundreds of miles from the nearest people. My dad has plane which he flies to get to the city.

But that's besides the point. OK I am bisexuaI but I don't have any friends because I live so far away.

Here's the bad bit.

My sister is also a lesbian. About a week ago me and her kissed each other (for real).

I don't know what to do about this. I think I have a crush on her and I am attracted to her. I hate it but I can't stop it!!! I am thinking of dying but I love everyone too much but I hate feeling this way coz I know it's wrong!!! What should I do! I feel like I am about to go crazy!

Looks like I'm not the first to ask...
My in-laws sent 27 wrapped presents for our 2 kids. I want to pare down and have less boxes, or open the clothes and just put out the toys...but the mister is opposed. The overkill has me pretty bummed out! In my family, we've only exchanged between 1 and 3 presents - less mess - more focus on the true meaning of Christmas!

"When we know that we are utter nothingness, we realize that we have not done anything, but God perfectly does all things through us and through other creatures as well.
When we think we are something great, we boastfully claim to be authors of all good things and blasphemously blame God for all bad things; although we don't have true knowledge to distinguish good from bad, right from wrong, true from false"
(Please note I mean no offence to those with anorexia nor am I attempting to trivialise such a terrible desease - it just seemed an accurate description.)
