Hi! I love to give advice, even thought I do not give out personal information. I have gone through so much in my life and I think and my friends constantly tell me that I give them good advice. Sometimes my advice can be a little harsh, but it's just tough love and I promise I don't mean to offend anyone!

Why do some people think that saying Jesus's name in vain is okay while saying God's name in vain isn't? Yeah, God is our Lord but Jesus is still a higher being.
Not that my religious view matter in this question but I am not Christian which might explain my perplexity to the situation.
In class today we were reading a play and my teacher announced that if we come by a profound word we do not have to say it. A student in my class came across "God!" as she was reading out loud and replaced the word with "Jesus!" because she claimed saying God's name in vain is wrong. I know this girl is Christian.
I completely agree that we should not use God's name in vain but why should Jesus's name be any different? I of course snapped at the girl and asked about the situation. She could not give me a straight answer so I'm wondering if someone else can. Or was she just an idiotic high school student (link)

You are absolutely right. Here's why.
Christians believe in higer beings. Myself being LDS (or Mormon) we believe in three, versus lets say Baptists who believe in one being, three purposes. But in this doesn't matter. In the end, we all see these beings or being as a high power and we love and look up to them. The difference in these beings should NOT differ. Christians follow Christ. Christ is God's Almighty Son. One is NOT more important than the other. Any christian who believes this is just plain wrong. They say they believe in a man who was a martyr. Yet they take his name in vain as if nothing happened at all.
So you are absolutely right. Using one name over the other is wrong and any christian should be ashamed if they see the "lesser sin" in using Jesus' name in vain instead of God's. Hope this helps!

i went out with a guy over 3yrs ago for about 3wks and i broke up with him cos i really thot i didnt like him, even tho he was the only guy i've eva felt sad and happy when we broke up. Ever since then, he's always been on my mind but i kept telling myself that i know i'll finally forget him considering that 'i dont like him'. Things went on wiv my life and i even dated a few guys afterwards but i still always thot of him. After about a year, i realised he was proper stuck in my head and i actually like him a lot as i even compared every guy to him. I've been telling myself i'll get over him and i still haven't and now he has a gf.... i've never cried so much in my life or felt physical pain. I dont think i'm in love with him and i know myself that i'm not a good gf and i want him to be happy even tho its never going to be with me. Pls how do i get over him cos i've tried everything possible? (link)

Here's a thought. Did you ever think that maybe you're in love with your friendship with this guy? It's possible. I love a lot of guys right now, but im not IN love with them. It's also possible that you're hanging onto him because he was you're first something. You're first boyfriend, you're first childhood love (which is real), or maybe just you're first big decision. Try rebuilding your friendship first. That needs to be the most solid foundation between the two of you.
If it's to hard to let him go completely, try doing it in small steps. Find a guy who has the same qualities, compassion, or something like that in common with the guy that you like. Sometimes the best thing to do is be in love with a friendship. I can say from experience, when you find the guy that you truly love, you will begin to see the fine line between falling in love with friendship, and falling in love.
Remember, getting over him probably won't happen. I still can't get over my first true love. But it's easier knowing that now, it's just a sweet memory. Hope this helps!

My brother is 10 years old and he bugs me so much! I know everybody has to deal with this but I want it at least a little easier. Well he only comes in and starts talking to me about something random when I'm on the phone. Then when my friends come over he wants to hang out with us. But when I'm not doing anything like that he just would leave me alone. Except for when I am on the computer and he tries to take it from me. I don't bother him or do anything when he is hanging out with his friends but I don't know how to deal with this. (link)

It may just be me, but sounds like your brother maybe likes one of your friends. Did you ever think about that? It's a little weird, but my brother liked plenty of my friends. Maybe you should try talking to him about it. Or maybe your parents. I know that my parents didn't do much. They always said that it was just "a thing". When in reality, it's a very big thing. Try taking time out just to spend on him. Maybe he's feeling a little lonely and misses his older sister.

I don't know where to start....My mom has this so called boyfriend for seven to eight years. I hate him!! He is soo moody!! He'll be nice and then he gets fricken crabby. Once he yelled at me for not liking strawberry juice and not finishing it. Then after I got out of the shower last night I was drying my hair when I stopped he was yelling my name so I go down and it was the telephone so I went to the regular phone then he yelled at me because it was his cellphone!! All these things made me cry!! Then sometime when hes nice which is once a month, I walk by him he'll spank my butt or put me on the couch and tickle me! I don't feel comfortable when he does this. Sometime he'll grab me by the private and put me over his shoulder and carry me around. I hate that! Then when we are fighting in the nice way I feel like he's putting me in sex positions. I tell my mom for him to stop but he keeps doing this! I want to move to my grandma who hates him too but I don't want to leave my mom. If I do move out this would be the second child who moved out to grandmas because of him. My family is not a big fan of him! This is so confusing to me!!Help!! Please!

This may sound a little harsh, but honestly, if your mom doesn't care enough to make this stop, then you should not care if she loses another child. Your mom needs to understand what's important in life and that is NOT her boyfriend. Her children should be the most important thing and that includes you. It may also include letting you live with your grandmother. You should start thinking about what is going to make you feel safe and happy instead of what is going to make you feel sick, uncomfortable, and disrespeted. NO MAN has the right to make you feel uncomfortable, no matter what the age.

Guys and girls awnser plz!If a guy asks if you have a boy friend or not, dose that means he's interested?like i was talking to this a guy that i know on msn and he was like "soo do u have a bf?"It was so random... it had nothing to do with the conversation... (link)
| |
There's a good chance he is interested in you. If you are unsure, just ask. The worst that could happen would be getting a NO!

i am very stressed out about everything in my life right now and im just sick of it i dont know how to stop caring about what other people say about me behind my back and i cant help but try to make everything i do be perfect so that people wont have a reason to talk but i just cant keep doing this stress has taken over me and its caused me to have really low self esteem ever since i reached the age of 13 all ive been worrying about is what others have to say is there anything i could do to build up my self esteem? and stop stressing? (link)

Of course there is something you can do! I know from personal experience that perfection is not possible. You should really try doing things that make YOU happy. Things that emphasize what YOU love.
Don't worry about people talking behind your back. Honestly, they can't say it to your face because they are going through the same thing. The best way to get back at them is to show them that no matter what they say, you're still happy being you. That will make them more mad than you would ever imagine!
So relax. If you have to bend down that low just to make people feel better, then maybe you should stand up a little straighter and start making yourself happy. In the long run, that's what is really going to matter.
