recently, ive been cutting. i cut because i have so much emotional pain, it relieves me when i cut. it makes me forget all about my emotional pain because i focus on the physical pain. well, just this morning, i found myself thinking of suicide. this afternoon during health class too. We were talking about cutting in health class today and i just wanted to die. i was so uncomfortable. only 2 people knew about me cutting in my health class besides me but i still wanted to die. I dont have a boyfriend. I dont think im pretty enough to. My life is fucked up. no one cares about me. my parents are never home and when they are, they just yell at me. They always fight too. But the thing is, i wouldnt trade my life for anybody elses. its the way that i know life. I wouldnt trade it. and im serious. I wore a belly shirt to school a few days ago. Bad choice. some people saw my cut i made on my stomach and they said stuff to me. No one understands me. They think that i have the ideal life and they even tell me that. i dont. every one thinks i am perfect (or have to be) becuase my dad is a pastor of a small hick church... which i hate. I dont believe that shit. w/e. i wanted to stop cutting until today. i did it again today. its just a bad habit. any suggestions? anything anyone wants to say to me?? yes i have contemplated suicide. several times.

I'm sure you have some serious problem causing all this anguish, but you just need to quit bitching and get over yourself. Do you know how selfish all that stuff you just said sounds? You want to feel better? Go do some volunteer work in the projects, then you'll get a taste of real despair. You want relief? Find someone who you trust enough and just tell them whats going on. You want to quit? Everytime you feel like cutting do something else, get one of those little stress balls and squeeze it till your rage and agony are gone.


What is something i can do to calm down. I am so worked up about everything all i can do is cry. Is there something else i can do besides cry?
please help me (link)
Make chainmail. Knit a sweater for chipmunks displaced by hurrican katrina. Learn to juggle. Hit stuff. Write angsty poetry.


HEy yall in a few days im getin a ipod nano and i have some question

DO you think its worth the money??
Ill rate high (link)
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Spend the extra 50-70 bucks to get 15 times the storage and video playback. Plus the regular one is harder to leave in your pocket for the washing maching to ruin.


i know this is weird but why are some mean people popular, why would you wanna be friends with a mean person

just wondering? (link)
People are attracted to the self confidence they have, which they only have because they make everyone else feel bad. People generally try to hang out with popular people because it increases their own status slightly.


OK for my science class I have to make up a poem that has to do with our curriculum (Biology) and it has to be done like a valentine. I can do any topic I studied this year. I was thinking ecology. Any ideas on how I might go about it? (link)
Find something in the ecosystem that you can equate to love.
For example trees.

what does the phrase "you can't draw blood from a stone" mean?
(link)
um, you're trying to get something from something that it doesn't have. stones don't have blood, so you can't get blood from a stone.


So me and my boyfriend were making out and he was feeling me up and stuff, and we were obiously really close together. So while thats happening, I feel him start to vibrate. From his torso down I swear he was shaking or vibrating. My friend says he was getting off lol but wouldnt I have felt it since I was so close to him? it just seems kinda werid. I'll rate for decent advice (link)
Wow. That happens sometimes,it's just reaction from being so close to someone else. It's happened to me a couple of times. Just not in that particular situation.


I have just got over hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia which is the phobia of the number 666, but now i have just been diagnosed with Ouranophobia which is the fear of heaven. Do you think this is linked? I dont like talking to my phychiatrist. They know to much and that scares me too. Please, i need a normal opinion instead of a long dialog full of words i dont understand. (I dont like asking what words mean) (link)
The problem with psychiatrists is that they know to much and spend very little time in the real world. The question you should ask yourself is "Am I really scared of heaven?" If the answer is no, then he's probably making stuff up to keep you coming back. If yes, you need to consider the alternative and then heaven seems great!


My room has a color scheme of blue and lime green. I have a duvet that has blue and lime green stripes.

I was looking for some inexpensive ideas for nicknacks. Where can you get inexpensive (but cute) grabge cans, picture frames, and other things to put on shlves and my dresser?I want lime green and blue stuff!!!! If you've seen stuff or can direct me to a website. That'd be great!! (link)
If there are any around, check flea markets. Or you can look at world market. Even Ebay. It has everything.


I think I am fat. I weigh about 116-120 pounds and am about 5"4. Is this overweight?
I don't have like ANY time at all to exercize, I do lose weight, but than I end up gaining it all back on. I can't wake up an hour earlier in the morning because I am already tired as is. I am busy like ALL the time. Does anyone have any way I could lose weight quickly, and wouln't take much time out of my schedual? (link)
No. You're perfectly normal for that height.

Well, that is a little large for eighth grade, and there is not a whole lot you can do about it. This sounds really bad but you just need to ignore those people and not let their idiotic remarks bother you.


I have a terrible friend who thinks shes cool and hates me and my friends. She always hangs out with us and then talks about us behind our backs to US! I got into a fight with her(because Im the only one who will stand up for myself) and I hate having people hate me so i appologized and she just forgave me like that! (She said "I forgive you, HUG!") It bothers me and now were back to her using me and my friends and she thinks shes popular. What should I do? (link)
Quit hanging out with her.


I know that 13-year-olds shouldn't be wearing a lot of makeup. Is colored lip gloss ok? (mine is dark purple) (link)
Sounds fine to me.


So im going to be going back to school soon, and I want to do well and get like all A's!

I want to make new friends especialy guy friiiends..

what are some things I can do to make this happen!? (link)
Well, for the A's you should take good notes and do your homework. That seriously helps you remember stuff. As for guy friends, show interest in them. Talk to the guys who sit next to you. We don't bite, promise.


I've been dating this guy for two and a half weeks. We've been close friends for a year before he asked me out. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to give him for Valentine's, but I need advice.

I'm planning on painting a guitar pic (since he plays guitar) and I'm going to paint on it "Happy Valentine's Day" and have a cool design on it. I was thinking of baking him cookies and putting them in his locker. Then last but not least, I want to get him Fall Out Boy concert tickets sicne we both love them. The tics are about twenty something dollars, and I was wondering...too much for a relationship this short? give me your opinion. if you ahve any other ideas, alterations, or suggestions they are appreciated! (link)
Yes, since you've only been dating for a couple of weeks, I would go for something a little bit smaller. The concert tickets would probably my choice cuz then you can bond at an event you both enjoy.

My boyfriend's favorite animal is a cow, and we have inside jokes about it. I was thinking of getting him a stuffed cow and chocolates for Valentines Day. But I was wondering, do guys like getting stuffed animals from girls? I mean he's kind of like a "man's man." And I've been dating him for 5 months, so do you think chocolates and a stuffed cow would be enough? Or should I get him more? Or maybe make him dinner along with the stuffed cow and chocolates? Or would that be too much? Help! (link)
You should get him a cow made of chocolate! But make sure it's a really badass cow.


I was wondering
Is it true if you blow dry your hair and straigthen it like everday that by the time your 25 your hair will fall out?
I usually do that everyday except for on weekends.
Will my hair fall out? (link)
I've never heard that before. But excessice heat drying will cause your hair to cook and break more easily. I'm pretty sure that hair loss is genetic or caused by eating certain chemicals. I wouldn't worry too much about it.


I am a little on the shy and reserved side. I am a nice person and have a big heart. My problem is that I have a really hard time finding a nice bf. It seems like all the nice guys are taken. I'm not and never have been into casuel sex and one night stands. I want to have a permanent partner. How can I find a nice guy? I'm nearing 30 and I really wish I could get married and start a family. But I need to find the right guy first! Does anyone have any suggestions? (link)

It's the most thorough dating service I've found.


"The only people who will be getting into heaven are the ones who CHOSE to accept Jesus as their lord and savior."

Ah, but does one really CHOOSE a belief? Can you, looking at a red firetruck, CHOOSE to believe that the firetruck is in fact blue? I, personally, don't think beliefs can be chosen in such a fashion. If I disbelieve in God, it isn't because I "chose" to do so, but because the facts are simply not convincing for me, just as I do not choose to believe a firetruck is red...I simply look at the evidence and know it.

Also, if God thinks that our free will, the ability to freely choose to love God, is so valuable, why would he ultimately deny this ability in heaven? (He would have to deny it, for heaven can't contain evil or sin...and having the choice of doubt would be sinful.)

So you see, your response doesn't really answer my criticism. If the ability to CHOOSE to love or believe in Christ is so important, why would the concept of Heaven deny this choice? It doesn't make sense. (link)
Why does said choice have to exist? Why does there have to be evil? As a christian, I believe that the world was originally perfect, because in Genesis God calls it good. And for something to be good in His eyes, it must be perfect. Therefore, sin, evil, death, none of it existed originally. So the world did exist for a time without evil.It was Paradise. Then when Adam and Eve CHOSE to eat from the tree that God told them not to, all that stuff entered the world. I think a being that could speak the universe into existance has some plan for preserving free will, it will just involve a whole different perspective on choices. Ever think that maybe you might just have to choose between what's good? How nice would that be. As for the fire truck thing, you can believe it's blue, but you're a fool if you do. And doubt is not a sin, worry is a sin. Everyone has doubts about something. So, yes you do indeed choose what to believe and what to not belive. If you want to believe that there is no God, go for it. If you want to take off the blinders that today's society of humanism has placed on you, good for you. Go out and investigate. After all, we have all eternity to reflect on the choices we make in this life.

As for the evidence, if you would take a serious look at the world around you, the complexity of the world, you would realize that it's not all just an accident. The actual odds if the world just happening by accident are 1 to 10 followed by 40,000 zeroes. I wouldn't bet on those odds would you? Consider the giraffe. When it bends down to drink, all the blood that is in its neck rushes down to its head because of gravity. Thankfully, it has a sponge like apparatus that slowly moves the blood over the brain so as not to give the griaffe a stroke. Now, if evolution is true, then the giraffe somehow evolved from some other giraffe like creature that somehow survived long enough to mutate this structure. But how could this have happened? All the giraffes before the one with the sponge would have died from strokes. It's something to think about.

I did enjoy your response and am very impressed that you were able to articulate a good arguement without resorting to name calling or blatent close minded-ness. If you feel like, we can continue this little debate, or if you wish, not.

Thanks for making me think.
