Why or why not?

Well the reason I asked was I was trying to have a convo. with this guy I like and he said he wouldn't consider talking to me because I was too dark. And that he only date light skinned black women on a count of they look better and got better attitudes. Which I can't really understand because I dont really put beauty and skin color in the same category. Neither do I put skin color and attitude/personality in the same category. WHY ARE SOME BLACK PEOPLE TODAY SO IGNORANT?

If it were offered in your community and you have someone in your family (or friends) who has an addiction problem, would you go to an "Al-Ateen" meeting?


I'm starting one in my community and just trying to get feedback from other teens (besides my 16 year old daughter) across the country. Please give me your opinion and or advice on this matter. It will be truly appreciated.

the reason i ask is because, there are some educated people who show this character. there are politicians who know what is right and what is wrong, but yet failed to see it. there are doctors who only see the profit aspect of patients. there are lawyers who will fight the wrong to be right if the money is right.

I try, I really do. But, a lot of the ones I know do not respect me. They pry into my personal life, and make assumptions about me which are not true.

What should I do?

Where I work at an optometrist office, employee turnover is a lot 5 in a year on average. Everytime they hire someone its someone without experience that doesn't seem to have long gevity in mind. Now they hired one of those to cut glasses which is a fairly technical job and if its messed up customer service goes down fast. I am so tired of training new people without any exp. Also, I recently became certified as an optical assitant, (my job title is receptionist). I offered to do the assitant job when needed until the new person learns the lab fully then, pass on additional tasks to her as she is ready. Makes sense right? Good for the patients and us. Well my bosses looked at me like I was nuts and sort of blew me off. I am really frustrated at the whole situation. I have been here going on two years but it appears my suggestions aren't valued nor is my willingness to take on extra responsibility. Any suggestions?

I was getting ready for my first day at work yesterday and my older sister was in my room talking to me and started lauging b/c I was wearing underwear under my pantyhose. She told me that you're suppose to go bare bottom with hose. Is she teasing me or is that true?

He deserved every bit of what he got. All he had to do is give up the mic and get off stage. Then he wanted to act neglient in a resistant-passive manner. A passive resister can become agressive and violent in a matter of seconds. He was warned numerous times and continued to resist. I bet if he was black or Hispanic everyone would agree with law enforcement. You saw Rodney King pinned down with about 8 cops all around and still got brutally beaten. People then have the nerve to say he got what he deserved. This Tasered Student was trying to make a mockery of the law and got what he deserved. Stupid rich kids.

I will give very detailed answers to people, especially in the health section, but they will choose someones answer that is short and sometimes wrong!!

I know this is stupid, but i wanted to know if anyone else gets irritated when they go out of their way to leave a long detailed answer, only to see that the person chose a really dumb answewr or short answer instead.

atleast people can thank everyone who has answered when they choose the best answer

I'm severely depressed and I need to keep active to distract my mind from spiraling down. But, as I read more abd more, I found that the people on this site are interesting, open, honest, and fun.

My question. What are your reason for visiting this site?

1) gain insight
2) bored
3) need someone to talk to
4) just for fun
5) other reasons

I have been in college on & off since 2000. dont have a digree, but going back to school is getting harder and harder. I live a life that is a lie, I tell people I have accomplished more than I have, and I think the longer I have been telling this lie about myself the harder it becomes to tell the truth. I know I have to finish school to have a better life, but my mind is so accupied with my lies I can't do well. Please help me find way to get out of this problem, I'm getting older and time is running out before I can do anything in my life, that I can be proud of.
thatnks a million for all your help.

Think about it, if you were black or Jewish and for one day everyone dressed up in Nazi or KKK costumes how would that make you feel. The some way Christan's feel when people dress up as Devils and Witches.
