I see it all the time, people treating teenagers and youth differently than adults. In the stores, employees passing by youth and only asking adults if they need help, etc. How do you think we can stop this?

I am often told that I am very beautiful.Although I do not describe myself that way ,when I go out in social settings I often feel over-looked, generally ignored. If I am beautiful as others say why do I have a hard time being approached by men? I am the one who always has to make the first social move.Any thoughts?

I am going to a work event. The invitation says formal. I asked one of the ladies who put the even on, "how formal is formal, for this even". She stated that the guys wears suits and the ladies cocktail dresses. She said that tuxedos weren't at all necessary.

I am wondering if the dress I will be wearing is appropriate. It is sleevless. It is also long, probably 2 inches above my ankle. It is a scoop neck and not at all low cut (will NOT show cleavage). The dress is black with cream embroidered flowers down the front. The dress is lined in cream and has some leaves cut out showing the satiny lining.

I work in a company where there are very heavy phones and some of the people that call are very rude, demanding, obnoxoius and very unkind after a while of trying to be nice sometimes I get my back up and firmly say leave a message and stop coming back to my board. They dont WANT to know that aperson is on the phone or away from thier desk and these people some of them think life owes them a living.

My question is how can I be more polite, kind , mature on the phone when people are being miserable on the other end of the line, some of the callers are harassers. What are cerative ways of handling confrontation and a difficult caller. I fully realize I need to have proper manners and I respresnt the company however some people are really mean and they are like this on purpose.
Does anyone have any good suggestions and thank you for your answers.

Today a very speical co-worker of mine was liad off and it was done very unicely and very unfairly. She was a hard worker and an advocate and a protecter of people a really good person, she is hurt and upset and rightfully so. My question is what can I do to help her and encourage her during this time. I went through a very tough layoff 2 years ago and this woman was the one who got me hired at this company I am in now. I called her at home and she does want us to always be friends and keep in touch, I feel awful about what had happened and today was a bad day at work.
Any good suggestions of what I can give her or do for her to make her feel better?

maybe this is a to familiar question but... do you think there's any difference between a girl... kissing a stranger at a party, having sex wit different guys, beeing flirty at all times, getting drunk at a party, to a guy doing the same things and more? why do we catagorize one as a hoe/slut, and another a pimp, a "cool guy" or even see it more as a normal thing... whats the morality?

This is just a general question. A friend put it to me that if someone asks you a question and if (1) they have no right to the information or (2) by refusing to answer them you are actually giving them the answer. He says if both are true, then it's OK to lie, to protect the information.

Example 1: Your boss has fired the last 3 people who he thinks might be gay, and then your boss asks you if you are gay. You know if you refuse to answer he will know the answer is yes. And in your state it is legal to fire someone just for being gay.

Example 2: Your father committed suicide, and your family would like that to remain private. But a distant cousin you are hanging out with says they heard a roumor that your dad committed suicide and asks you if it's true. If the answer is really "no" nobody would say "I don't want to talk about it", so if you say "I don't want to talk about it" you know your cousin will find out.

Please don't answer the examples, just talk generally.

I'ma senior in high school, do you think that it is arrogant to just go up to a group of people out of the blue and ask if you can sit with them at lunch or something like that. I know them all and they all like me and I like all them and I've known them for years even though we're not really close friends but I don't know if that's like inviting myself and it's arrogant and I should just forget it. I mean I'll be out in a few months but I'd really like to spend more time with them. But I worry about what soemone else said, you;ve know them for all these years and never tried to be good friends with them and now you want to sit with them and hang out with them? What do you think about that?

If you called two people to see what gift out of the three gifts you bought to give to your pregnant friend, when the other two you were gonna give to the people you talked to. Should I get them something different now that they know what gifts I have but they don't know who I'm giving the other two to?

My mother's friends (whom I hardly know) keep getting me and my family gifts all the time. My mother insists I write a thank you to them, but I really don't want them to give us gifts anymore. We hardly know them, so they usually get things we don't want. Should I write a thank you or not? If so what should I put in it to tactfully say that the gift was not appropriate - I can't just say we hate knick nacks.

allowed you to stay in a home where you were told that you were to keep it clean and maintained until you found an apartment of your own. A house that is basically for sale but no one lives there in a very well to do area and it was given to you while on the market until you got a place of your own. You begin your search for a place and then are told not to worry about it cause you could stay there as long as you wanted too. You do this and then one day out of no where it is said that its going to be rented to a friend of thiers and you have until 7 pm to get your things and move. What would you do?

I have a coworker that never seems to use deodorant. It was one thing when we were all guys in the office but now he shares an office with 2 new females.
My question is how do I let him know he should use deodorant at work w/o offending him?
