Some months ago I was beaten and raped by a stranger. I feel lucky I wasn't killed. He has not been caught yet though I don't think it'll be very long till he is. I would like to get some protection for myself, just to feel safer, but I don't want to buy a real gun. I was thinking about stun guns but I don't know anything about them.
Would a stun gun be good enough to protect me against an attacker but not really hurt him? Would it be legal to carry one everywhere I go? (I live in the U.S.) If I used a stun gun on a person, could they file a lawsuit against me because of it? (link)

Honestly, I REALLY don't know, but i would recommend carrying Pepper Spray around in a pocket! I mean, if the attacker comes, it's just, grab out of pocket, a few sprays in the eyes, and He,She's off!! L0l, lots of people carry it around for protection, and it's not that bad, but good enough of use to get Him/Her to get lost!

Ey, there's nothing wrong with you, honestly! I used to cut, and let me let you know, it was honestly the HARDEST thing i've ever had to do, and trust me, there's bin some pretty weird shit in my life!! Well, I remember when I was in grade 7 I used to cut, and I would do that by bringing a bag to my kitchen, dropping a knife into it, taking it to my bathroom and secretly slicing my wrists open. In class, i knew i would get in trouble if i was caught with a knife, so in Math class, i would get those "Compass" things for Math, and cut myself with that. I tried phoning teen hot lines for help, but they didn't do much help. I stopped by thinking how selfish i was by bringing pain to myself, and what if it got so out of hand that it would lead to suicide? I mean, if i did end up killing myself, well, it's basically the most selfish thing a human can do, as there are many out there much better off than us. So think about that, and try phoning the teen hot lines. There are also things on Google you could try. So please, just stop cutting!! :)

I really want to be popular. Not popular as in "hello, im stuck up and im better than everybody." I wanna be popular as in BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE! i dont know how to start a conversation with strangers. any suggestions on how i can achieve this? (link)

Yea, being popular is pretty hard to randomly just "Achieve" i guess... it's kinda something that you have to BE, live, breath... you know? but it CAN be achieved. so yea, u should start by getting more into "society's mold", and when i say that, i mean, you should kinda know whats going on, like, what celebrities did a REALLY embarrassing thing, what songs are clearing the top hits, the TOP HEADLINES that are really popular, and basically what's in and out. so when your starting a conversation with someone, you can just talk about something really common, something people like talking about. usually has to do with celebrities!! :P
and I'm not saying be pretty and hot and all, just try not to make yourself look firkin disgusting, so that no one would be caught dead 20 meters near u!!! so yep, good hygiene definitely, and yea, have a sense of humor! and also don't be shy, and NEVER think that the person doesn't wanna talk, cause trust me, 98 % of the time, the person is either too shy to start the conversation, or uncomfortable. so ease up, laugh a bit, crack a joke or two. but make sure you're NOT ANNOYING, cause you can tell when someone tries WAY TOO HARD!! so yea, good luck! :)

This is a really weird question, I know, and you're probably going to think I'm making a big deal over nothing. I was going out with this guy in a band, and we broke up in December. It was a bad break up and he was really bad to me. Anyway, in the time we went out (3 months) I became fairly good friends with the other two in the band. One in particular I really liked. I recently found out this one has left the band, and from what it sounds like it was under pretty bad circumstances. Anyway I recently found him on Facebook, and I really want to add him. However, I'm not sure if this would be weird? I really liked him and enjoyed speaking to him (as a friend) We go to the same college too, but I haven't seen him around. I haven't seen him since my ex and I broke up. I know it's only Facebook, and people add each other all the time there. I just don't want to make him uncomfortable and I can't decide.
So to add or not add? Thanks (link)

ADDDDD! l0l, well, yea it's true, people add each other ALL THE TIME on facebook... random people! :P and yes, it can be rather awkward... but you never know! just don't do or say anything to make him feel uncomfortable, because then you just look plain "stalker ish"! start off, just don't talk for a while, then about a week ish l8r, just be like, "Oh hey, wats up? kinda bored..." Something like that.... then if he seems eager to continue the conversation, then CONTINUE it!! and try making jokes around him, it'll help ease up the awkwardness. :)

i'm a little upset right now. when my little sister had speech problems/delay, we knew something might be wrong with her brain development or functioning of the brain, or whatever. we thought she had autism. but we found out recently it wasn't autism, she has aspergers. she's 14 now, turning 15 in november, but i'm really worried about her future. she's really bright and is the absolute nicest person in the world, she'd never do anything wrong or hurt anyone on purpose. she's very sensitive and cries easily. at school she has friends, but she's homeschooled and goes to school only on fridays. she has no friends in the neighborhood. in her free time, she sits on the computer and watches shows and videos on youtube or paces around in her room. she NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE unless its for school or church. and everyone at her school knows something is wrong with her, but they all think shes just weird, they dont know whats going on with her mind. basically, the best i can explain it, she has the mind of a 5-7 year old. you can hear it in the way she talks and walks and her body language, she's very different. it upsets me like no other when someone tells me that my sister is weird or she acts "strange" or that she's stalking some boy because she thinks he's cute. she doesnt realize that when she has a crush, she cant make it very obvious, so shes never had a boyfriend and from what i can tell, shes not going to get one anytime soon.
so after all this inside information on my sister, can anyone tell me if they know that her brain will eventually catch up to her, or if she's going to be like this for the rest of her life? she wants to get married and have children, but our whole family can't ever see her moving out on her own since she thrives on family and security. what can i do?

Alright, well maybe it's time that you started doing a bit of research on Aspergers. I honestly DON'T know whether or not she'll be "normal"... but you need to know that she can't help this, and obviously no matter what you'll be there for her. Well, this kinda seems like Autism. i have Cousins that have Autism, and i know what you mean, it seems as if they're in a whole world altogether most of the time. i thought they'd have the MINDS of little kids, as they seemed to act like them. but after spending time and speaking heart to heart with them, i realized that they're A LOT like me. I mean, i found that he had feelings like any other normal being, and that they were very sensitive. i recently recall one family renunion where these Adults were sitting in a corner and muttering loudly enough for everyone to hear, about how unfortunate my Cousin's were. i watched his face crumple, and when later asked him about it, he said he knew that people in the streets and at school found him sort of "weird". so my point is, your Sister is probably not the best in Social behavior or in school work, but the inside feelings and thoughts are mature, good enough for her age. her thoughts and feelings will mature as she ages, yet she might still act a bit "different". i'm guessing that she will soon learn about Boys and how you're not supposed to make your crush on sumone so obvious! :P but still, i think the best way for her to get more social is for YOU to talk to her, heart to heart, make her feel loved, and try enrolling her in a group or club in something that she loves, like dancing or singing. try getting her to leave the house more often, so she'll get used to it. hope this helps! :)
