I'm not sure whether this beinglongs in activsm or not but I think that when the airplanes hit the twin towers on 9/11, the terroists actually thought what they were doing what the right thing to do. I know that they shouldn't have done it in such a destructive manner but isn't that what we're doing now? We're completely destroying Iraq and are we immature enough to say when we all realize that this was an idiotic thing to do, "Well, they started it!" Does anybody else agree with me?

Yes, I understand completely and totally agree! It's definitely the minority opinion, but hang tight to those thoughts there.
By the way.. I have to set you straight here. Though it's contraversial - 9/11 and Iraq are NOT RELATED.
The people who crashed those planes on 9/11 were part of Al Quaeda, a terrorist organization in Afghanistan. Which is why we went to Afghanistan first.
The claims that the ex-government of Iraq was linked to Al Quaeda were shaky at best. The reason we invaded Iraq is because they refused to hand over weapons of mass distruction, as per some decade-old U.N. agreement, and were supposed to have destroyed these weapons. How they could hand over weapons they were supposed to have destroyed, it beats me. This somehow got caught up in the theory that Saddam Hussein is evil and needed to be taken out of power. Not saying he wasn't, but there's a lot of better things governments can do in their spare time than take over chaotic nations.
Sorry for the long post... hope that helped a bit?

I'm on 100mg Zoloft right now. I don't understand why you have to go off your antidepressants? You can be on these things for YEARS and have no side effects whatsoever. You can't become addicted, or anything. My doctor told me that if i didn't feel completely comfotable with going off Zoloft, I didn't have too. If you're scared to go off your meds, maybe you shouldn't. Personally, I'm afraid that my depression will come back, but that's just me. Maybe yours is a medical thing, I don't know. Just something to think about.
As for withdrawl symptoms... it depends on what you're on. As far as I know, there's not many for Zoloft or Prozac. It varies though.

I never really have any good feelings- i'm always either depressed, bored, sad or apathetic. Haven't felt happy or even angry in AGES, and am sick of it. Could this be because i got less naive (i found out how much the world sucks, etc, after finding out my mom committed suicide and my friend was molested). Also, how do i END this annoying similarity of my feelings.days, etc? I've been kinda contemplating suicide, but only jokingly. masturbation doesn't work either- makes me more depressed. i like art but when i'm at art school i feel calm, not really happy though. When i laugh at a joke i get this .5 second uplift in spirits but then become sardonic and dark all over again. Any advice would be appreciated. (link)

That's depression. I've totally been there and that definitely sounds familiar. Go see a counselor, or a doctor. Get help, because not being happy . . .well, it just sucks, is all. People react to antidepressants etc. differently... they really work for me. maybe not for you. whatever you do, DON'T go down the read of being suicidal, self-injury, etc. Go see your doctor and tell her about this . . . she'll get you the help you need. Hope you feel better soon :)

|
|
is forcing urself to ejaculation not healthy? (link)
| |
I'm assuming you mean masturbation? If that's what you're talking about, No that's completely healthy and fine.
|
|
can you get pregnant from anual sex??? (link)
| |
No, it'd be pretty hard to. Unless the semen gets near your vagina you're okay. You should still use protection, of course.

like when u have a period wat does it mean and wat happens pleeze help (link)
|
it means you're shedding your uterine lining. Gross huh? Well it means technically you are able to have a baby (though obviously that would be really hard if you're really young, which i'm guessing you are). After the lining of your uterus sheds it grows back again, and there's a period of . . .i think a few days to a week, where you can get pregnant. then you get your period again. (the egg comes out with your period, its very very small).
you can probably find better information by searching google or asking an adult you trust. its completely natural of course, dont worry about it :)

My Friend doesnt like me anymore! I dont know why.. she just wont talk to me! (link)
| |
So . . . ask her why she wont talk to you! if she ignores you, ask her friends why. if they don't respond, inform her that whatever you're doing wrong you can't fix if you don't know what it is. if nothing works, well then, she's probably dumb and not worth your time as a friend.

is fear in religion a good thing, to keep morality, or is it some man made thing to control people? (link)
|
No one will have a real answer to this. Personally, I think it's a man-made thing . . . I feel that if religion is meant to be about love, fear should not be a part of it. Religion should be about love and forgiveness . . . not fear, and possibly hate. If fear is factored into the equation, then it's probably a power issue, and about controlling people . . . stuff like that.
Interesting question though ;)

Im a straight A student and I have never really cared much about my grades. It isn't hard for me to get a A at my school. I am in 6th grade and I know this isn't very serious but I'm worried. I have gotten a B+ on my test in math...yeah I know no big deal...and I know it isn't. I just took it as a sign to pay attention in class, which I do. I recently got a A+ on my math test so everything is fine in math. I'm not worried about any of my other classes except language arts. For the past two quarters its been a easy A. I got a B or a B+ on one of my tests and I was like alright, that was just a mistake I made and I'll be sure to pay more attention. Well we did these powerpoint presentations on the book 'The Cay' and I got a C on it. I was at a 92% and I'm not sure how far this will drop my grade. I really don't want to have to get a b+ on my report card. I know I sound pretty preppy or whatever but it's not that. My dad has been having 'trouble' letting go of me lately because boys have been asking me out and my friensd are trying to get me to go to the movies with the boys and I've been buying shorter skirts...and I know he isn't exactly the happiest man in the world. I just know he would be dissappointed if I came home. The real question is , is there anything I can do to bring my grade up? (link)

Just keep trying. If you can stay after school or something, ask your teachers maybe why you got such "bad" grades (and really they're average ... as you already said, not much to worry about!) and what you can do to bring up your average more. So just talk to your teachers. and by the way, as i think someone already mentioned... your grades in middle school don't matter that much. middle school is really just a preparation for high school, as long as you're paying attention, absorbing information and learning, you'll find that it really doesn't matter what grades you get . . . so don't stress, you'll do fine :)

Every time I go to my friend she always jokes with me saying that "Oh here comes lil miss christian girl" and "Oh great your going to preach to us are'nt you." I know she is just playing but I wish I could witness to her without being made fun of. (link)
| |
She obviously doesn't want to hear you talk about religion. the answer would be... don't "witness" to her. keep your religon to yourself.
