With time, I've always grown to become a very naive person. I've allowed people to walk all over me, take advantage of me...that is according to ones who know me best. They've made me realize that sometimes I am allowed to step up and say what it is I have to say even if it might hurt them. Thing is, I can't be the most direct person. Sometimes if something is wrong I can't say it. I just act like it's okay. Now, I need tips on learning how to speak up for my own sake. Any advice? Second thing is, whenever I go out with people and I know people will be drinking, I always get the feeling that I have to play babysitter. I just feel like its my responsibility to watch over them so they dont get hurt. My friend has warned me that I should stop and not worry, have fun and let loose, because at some point in my life, he knows I will regret it. He doesn't want me to make the same mistakes he does..I know he's right though. How can I learn to stop worrying and feel like I have to babysitt?

He is becoming very controlling, he wants me to eat what he calls "white" foods and wear "white" clothing styles- it's becoming crazy living with him. I am not allowed black friends and have not seen my family for months. He is very displeased with our twins' light brown skin and will not allow them outside as they will tan darker. He has taken away my "too ethnic" music and movie collection. All this has been happening increasingly over about 18 months. Should I just leave or try to work it out? I love my culture and ethnicity and don't want to leave it behind. We have been married 2 years but dated for 2 years before we married, and he was perfectly NORMAL before we wed. He is NOT physically abusive. Do you think he's losing it?

And most of the time they aren't even the real drug, just something that looks or seems similar. You think, am I really this messed up, or do I just think so because people around me are acting the same exact way?

2. Name the members of The Dave Clark Five. ( I love Britain.)
3. What are the names of the Great Lakes?
4. Name 5 well know Union soldiers.
5. Name 5 well known Southern soldiers.
