To me, the abortion topic seemingly focuses all its time on one simple aspect, and entirely ignores everything else. I think it's irresponsible to look at this issue from just the conception to birth, because we are dealing with a child here, after it is born.

So, okay, fine. We don't nip the bud when it's a zygote, and we don't get it when it's a fetus. Later on, it's born. Suddenly, no one gives a damn to what happens to that baby anymore.

In the long term, you need to think about the duration of life this child is possibly going to have if its born. If the child's parents are deadbeats, and haven't obviously been pushed toward gathering their bearings and becoming responsible, even after this incentive, do you want a child growing up in that environment? If anyone who argues pro-life cares about children, would you want any child growing up in a potentially abusive and irresponsible environment? Why would you want any innocent child born into that situation?

Responsible people consciously decide to have children for a reason. They feel they are ready and can properly provide this kid with a stable lifestyle. People who are forced to have children will either never feel this way, or possibly begin to feel this way too late.

I'm not claiming this is the case all the time, just most of the time. There are some things you have to go on by a case by case basis. But if a couple certainly do not believe that they would be able to provide a child with a somewhat good upbringing, then they have every right to terminate that pregnancy. Why force people to have children when they don't want to, and why force children to be in situations they didn't ask for?

Yeah. You fucking are. The first time I ever watched that I couldn't get that man's cries of suffering out of my head.

That murder on tape is 1000x worse than that whole offended page. I could get through that without reaction. Watching that video made me sick, though.

I'm so glad that there are a whole group of girls that just can't wait to have an abusive boyfriend to hurt them and cause them emotional damage. :)

I fucking love my gender... -_____-

The answer to that is, woman are insecure bitches that are inferior to men at all times. Therefore, as a result of this, women belong in the kitchen and everyone NOT making women stay in the kitchen are making a huge, huge mistake.

I should make you a sandwich.

Awww. Congratulations. :) I hope I can have my own baby girl one day.

Have any name ideas yet?

On my bed, but in a space that isn't taken up by my legs so that I have room to be comfy. :)

She's quite a polite dog.

My cat's a bitch. She has manic moodswings and treats everyone like crap unless she REALLY wants you to love on her.

Aptly named Bellatrix.

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

You know what's wrong with her?

She's an immature 14 year old girl, and that's it. I've known plenty of people like her growing up, and, trust me, there's nothing you can do to really help them. They have to grow up on their own. And unless she's doing serious things that would lead you to believe she would commit suicide (self mutilation, signs of clinical depression), rather than this notion that "she has no friends = she will kill herself if I leave!", I very, very much doubt she would ever commit suicide. And, if she was, what does that say about how much she values your company? If she's basically using you to keep herself "sane" this toxic relationship that you have with her is her keeping your emotions hostage. That's not how friendships should go and it adds extra baggage on to you to make sure you're walking on eggshells, otherwise everything proceeding is somehow "your fault."

If you want to stay, you better stay on the notion that you can help her change and that she WANTS to change. If not, you need to get the hell out of there before she does more damage to YOUR sanity. Because having irrational guilt over a very hypothetical situation is just ridiculous.

This is obviously Tim Burton's adaptation on what HE thought the sequel to Alice in Wonderland should have been... Since the plot is no where near that of "Through the Looking Glass."

Either way, I'll see it. It looks pretty good, got an eccentric style, as Tim Burton alway does, and I'd like to see what he thought happened to Wonderland after Alice left.

Better own up to it now, before someone else tells her.

Better to be an honest jerk than a deceptive one.

Either way, you fucked up, and it's her choice over whether or not she can trust that you didn't really mean to.

When I was 6, my mum and I were in a candy store, and they had all the candy in those plastic containers with the top that comes up. My brain just saw candy and screamed, "Yummy! Have some!" and I ated some in the store and grabbed a handful. My mom saw it when we were a few blocks away from the store. I didn't really mean to do it, the store didn't really care, and my mom paid for the lost candy. XD

But, yeah. I committed theft as a baby.

I'm so baaaaad.

Chelseigh.

It sounds fine, but it gets better reactions when I write it down.

I can speak Japanese, French, a bit of Russian, some Italian, understand some rudimentary Latin; but I'm still studying all of them so I can get better in fluency.

I tried to learn Farsi but it kicked my ass.

Wow. What an idiot teacher.
Just wait, it'll get worse when you get into high school (if you're not now). You'll have to get used to writing essays without using contractions, "I", and ambiguous words like "thing," and "stuff" while keeping in the contrived and ever-changing rules of MLA.

Tell her/him to search a few sentences on google and see if anything pops up. I doubt it would if the paper is original. Get used to the stupidity of teachers now, though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but sometimes you'll hit walls and get teachers that are complete rubbish. Don't sweat it. If you're innocent, you can prove it.

I'm probably going to get lynched for this.

I agree with the OP - but this is only because I'm surrounded by people who are living examples of what the OP fears. I live in a family where most of the members are adventist. All except for me. I'm very much a black sheep, but I love them all and I respect what they believe in. But whenever I see my nieces or my little cousins taking this religious shtick seriously, I have to tell you, it breaks my heart. And I'm not just saying that they're playing around, they legitimately believe in these things that their parents have told them and live by it. It's like they're living in a cult.

One example of this is my little cousin, Luke; I was playing with him, and I had a stuffed Rabbit that he liked. I told him to close his eyes and he would see something cool, and when he did, I took the rabbit away and hid it behind my back. He opened his eyes and looked shocked and said, "Where did the bunny go?" and I told him, "It disappeared!" He asked me how, I told him, "By magic!"

He told me that God hated witches, started crying, and now refuses to talk to me. My aunt told me he prays for me a lot, though. So that "satan" will remove himself from me. :/

Some of these kids are my age and they haven't grown out of this. I have friends who are uber religious and were raised that way and haven't grown out of it.

So, I don't think that basically forcing your child to live a religious lifestyle is right... Being open about it, telling your child what you believe and telling them that it's their choice to believe or what not to believe in, that's okay. But I am completely against forcing children into religion at a young age, but only because of the effects that it had on MY family.

It kinda sounds like you just really need to vent more than anything. It's really good that you and your father are moving out and getting away from those toxic people. However, their abusive behavior has left some marks that you have to deal with. Therapy is always an option if you feel like you need it, but there are other ways you can vent to get through the recovery process.

If anything, the best you can do at the moment is surround yourself with the positive now that you are out of a negative environment. Do things that you enjoy so that your mind can be off the stress of the prior dysfunctional family life. If you really feel like you need to talk to someone about what's going on in your head, find someone that you really trust to just talk things through with. The stress should start going away now that you have separated yourselves from the sources of the stress (but they can always follow, prepare for that). I don't really know what to tell you beyond that. Just try to get yourself back into a pattern of enjoying the things around you so that you can be happy with life again.

I wish you the best of luck, though.

Personally I hate math just because I've always hated numbers. Way too cold and impersonal, to me.

But that's just me putting too much emotion into something that doesn't need it. :)

Plus it's fucking hard.

How often does she eat, and how often is she stressed out?

If she doesn't eat a lot, then her blood sugar is low and that can cause headaches and light headedness (especially if she's hypoglycemic. I am. Is there any history of it in her family?). Believe it or not, stress can also be a factor. When the body goes through mental stress a lot, it'll cause a lot of medical complications. I've been so stressed before that I became physically ill myself, and it's not fun. I get stress and tension headaches a lot too. Advil doesn't seem to help either.

These are just from personal experience. If it isn't these problems, then I don't know what it could be.

I hope she gets better, though.

I've only ever had one break up, and I did that to his face.

Huh. I always thought that text message break ups were a rare sort of event. I didn't know it happened so often.

No. Just, no.
If Robert Englund isn't Freddy, then it's going to suck. I've seen pictures of that Jackie guy as Freddy and he looks absolutely terrible. If the director is looking to piss on the ashes of an already dead series (no matter how much I love it), then he's on the right track.

When I was twleve. So, what, 7th grade, I think.

Wasted four years of my life.

Hmmm...
I'm very anti-religion; but, you know, sometimes you have to let the sheep be sheep (as long as it isn't hurting anyone on a grand scale). Most of my family is adventist (they hate me), and recently my best friend has converted to Mormonism because she's at a vulnerable state of mind and her 'friends' decided to take advantage of it. She's a completely different person now and, yeah, it's hard. But, I have to give it one thing, it's kind of kept her from doing the screwed up stuff she was doing before. I don't know what to say. Bigotry is here to stay, and there will always be people who have to stick their noses into other people's business. There's no way to get rid of it. The only thing I know I can do is live the way I think is right, and hope to leave some sort of impression on others to change and make a difference.

The way I dealt with my depression, at first, was therapy and medication. The medication helped level out my serotonin levels, make me really mellow; but, it didn't change the situation I was in. The medication didn't change my life. Everything was the same. So it seemed like nothing would ever make me happy because the medicine didn't make anything different, it just made everything dull. That's when I realized that I had to take on everything else on my own. You have to get out there, lose hesitation, live -- meet new people, enjoy new opportunities and make new dreams. Right now I'm in an up and down sort of area because I'm in a holding pattern. But I know that I have a way out when I can start my life... I can be a new person, be with new people, learn new things -- and that's enough for me. I know that this pain isn't permanent. And it isn't permanent in you either. You just have to work harder, even if it seems you've exhausted every other option (because I felt the EXACT same way as you did, truly).
