so ive had this health teacher and i thought he was the coolest person ever. and then he said today:
"...males are only on earth to reproduce.."
.
this statement. it...it makes me want to kill myself. im a 15 year old boy and i thought about that sentence DEEPLY for a LONG TIME, and i think i should kill myself. my life is a lie. they say eat healthy and stay in shape yet everyone dies anyway, and thanks to that statement i rly am questioning whehter or not i should go on in life.

If it bothers you that much, talk to your teacher about it. The statement is wrong, of course, but maybe he had some kind of meaning behind his words that you didn't quite catch.

ninamarie answered Thursday May 15 2008, 11:45 am: i'm sorry your teacher said that. he was making a cruel, false, statement. he is bitter and egotistal not to mention full of ingrence. don't let people like him try and discourage you. you are put on here for a purpose and it isn't just to reproduce. its to acheive your dreams and goals. don't be effended anymore. show him that his insults mean nothing to you, asnd he'll quit. i garentee it.

GilbertMar answered Thursday May 15 2008, 2:58 am: Everything aside, shame on you for believing this man and holding him in such high esteem that he effects you like this. Life is so much more then reproducing, does not your experience with your parents tell you this. I gave up my life for my kids, as any father should. My wants and needs became last behind my children and my wife, this is just reproduction? Man, if I could be like the eagle who kicks their children out of the nest inside of a year and fights to the death if needed if they come to close to my nest, well, just dreaming. The most important thing you will ever do in your life will be to become a father and try against all odds to raise your children to become good strong adults and when you fail, you will have the pleasure of watching them try to raise their child and fail too, but in the end, someone will get it right.
Be well and take care to whom you place on a pedestal,
P.S. Does this mean that those who don't have kids failed to serve their purpose? Your purpose is not to breed, but to serve. Arilius Mar once said, "I did not set out to be a great leader, only to serve." [ GilbertMar's advice column | Ask GilbertMar A Question ]
Jeepman2_98 answered Thursday May 15 2008, 2:12 am: YOU would only DIE, "physically", spiritually you would still be alive only if you know GOD. GOD says, not to destory the body for it is his temple. If you don't know GOD then then you will wish you had while you were still alive "physically" because spiriually you will be dead also. Therefore GOD would have never knew who you were even though he made you. You can only know GOD thru his son JESUS. FOR GOD is spiritual and JESUS is physical. SO Physically and Spiritually you would be a waste. All waste is left on earth to be destoryed by fire!!! YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE LIFE THEREAFTER AND PLAN FOR IT WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE EARLY YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING WHEN YOU ENTER THE NEXT...

Buddhaman answered Wednesday May 14 2008, 11:11 pm: Well, I belive that death isnt real.
And as for men are only here to blah. Same goes for everything on earth. From single cell to us.
Yes thats why we are here. But should it be the only reason we are here?
Everyone goes through what your going through friend. Strange that it is at a young age. Just like me my friend. This could show that your wise and just dont know it.
Now life is here to make a copy and die.
Humans are here to live as humans.
Men are here to make the future.
Women are here to raise the children.
We all have basic task that make us feel like ants
If you still feel bad. Think how your life would be back in the darkness of ignorance.
As the mind grows my friend. Many qustions are asked. Alot of those are asked many times within one lifetime.
The more you awnser, the more wise you become.
The more wise you are, the more you know whats right and wrong. Hence! The happier you become in the long term!
Now! If you still feel the way you do. Read the 4 Noble truths. Study them like it were your life`s passion and yes there short! Understand these. And you`ll know the awnser to why you are here. Then you can live a happy life.
es answered Wednesday May 14 2008, 10:04 pm: first of all your teacher is just one person with his own opinion. just like you should have your own. YOUR TEACHER IS SAYING THIS BECAUSE ALL HE KNOWS IS ABOUT REPRODUCING... DO YOU THINK HE'D SAY THIS IF HE EXPERIENCED LOVE AT LEAST ONCE IN HIS LIFE?
second... yes everyone dies. you can't possibly live forever and personally i wouldn't want to. there are too many things that would repeat themselves like and why be around for that? wouldn't you want a great life with a wife and kids? it should be the thing that makes you happy... not staying on this earth forever. ofcourse death is always sad, however it is a part of a cycle. and i really hope you learn that your teacher is apparently not the coolest person and he doesn't know shit. he hasn't experienced anything wonderful but i hope you do
thelaura answered Wednesday May 14 2008, 10:01 pm: So are females, though. It's what life is. and one thing everyone has in common with each other is death. Doesn't mean you should end your life now because of that silly statement.
After hearing something like that, it would have the opposite effect on me. It would make me want to actually live my life and make the most of it.
You can't let his bad choice of words practically ruin your life.
Yes, it may have had an impact on you, but you're taking it the wrong way.
You are 15 years old. They say eat healthy and stay in shape so it helps you live a good, longer life.
Try to forget that sentence, or perhaps talk to him about it and explain it affected you. I bet you're not the only male who now feels inadequate after being in that lesson.
If it makes you feel any better, think of it this way: Without some of our historical figures who are male, the world wouldn't be what it is today. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
