Late night classes

A university in Iowa plans to offer late night courses that they hope will lower underage drinking. The university has reduced the number of Friday classes over the years in response to research that shows Friday classes cut down on binge drinking on Thursday nights. Now they are hoping that offering late classes beginning at 10 P.M and lasting till 1:30 a.m. or even 2 a.m. will keep students away from alcohol.

But they are fun classes like late night ballroom dancing, or outdoor weekend late-night series where they do activities like canoeing and hiking. They also want to have like late night comedy shows. And all these activities cost less than drinking. I think this is a very good idea. I’m sure if this were offered in my university many people would join up. And drinking is very big in my university especially because there’s not much to do in this town, so it would bring down a lot of drinkers.

Miami Dade County jury found an archdiocesan high school
liable for injuries one student suffered after drinking at on off campus party.
One student was left paralyzed and brain damaged by a car crash and another
died after leaving the party in 2001. The parents of the paralyzed kid say that
the principle knew about the party but didn’t do anything and didn’t call the
police. The jury awarded the family $14 million. The parents of the student who
threw the party and the woman who brought the alcohol were also charged.



I don’t think this is right. The school shouldn’t get
charged for this. Even if the principal called the police and stopped the party
the kids would’ve gone somewhere else. Parties happen every night and if the
kids wanted to party and drink its their bad decision, they would have simply
gone to another party.

Jankowski said: Wow that's pretty crazy that you drove all the way back lol.  Some days I can't put my phone down, but there's like one day a month that I just feel like chillen on texting.  I have the 1,500 plan and that's pushing it sometimes.  I think it's rude though when I'm at a friends house and they're texting the whole time, right?


Ooooh I have a friend that does this! We'll be in a serious conversation and she'll sit there being in a whole other conversation but still pay attention to yours, but you can't tell whether she's paying attention or not. I hate it. I want to take her phone away every time I'm with her because she just doesn't stop!

She isn't going to notice the bad things about him, or that he is abusive. All thats going to be on her mind is that she loves him and wants him. Show her something better, and i guarantee he'll be off her mind so fast. If he is abusive he probably also made her stay with him at times, and she is used to that, and thats what makes her crazy is when he doesn't make her. She's not going to realise that she can do better untill she finds someone that's better. Then she is going to look back and realise how dumb she was for even spending a moment with him. I know from experience =)

I saw this in another thread and it interested me so I researched it.. look at this site if you have a chance. Its so sad what these girls are talking abuot and theyre really being serious!

here's one blog I found and there's worse..
 "I can't stop shaking, and I'm freezing cold.  It's so hot outside too, it doesn't make sense.  I went out with my mom today and she kept on suggesting different food to eat. I lied and told her I ate lunch, but then she just kept on suggesting snacks.  I ended up getting a small ice cream cone from dairy queen, and I ate like 10 chips.  There were like 7 grams of fat in the chips, and I only ate half the ice cream, and none of the cone.  I feel so sick and mad at myself. I feel disgusting.  I didn't want to eat, but she forced me to. I tried writing in my journal to relax me, but I can't stop shaking to write.  I'm too scared to weigh myself.  I just reached my first goal weight this morning (96lbs). I'm afraid I've ruined it already.  I can never seem to do anything right.  Today sucks."

or this one..

"Well, I was doing good on day one of my water fast, but then this morning I felt like I was going to faint, so I gave in and had a 90 cal granola bar and now I feel fine, but mad at myself.

Does anyone have any strategies to help with water fasting. Like how not to faint? =)"

Have you tried talking to his father? telling him his son misses his dad. And that if he cares so much for his son shouldn't he let his son be able to see his own son??? I'm sorry but your boyfriends dad is totally heartless!!

wow your story is crazy! are you sober now?
I'm glad you married someone else and moved on. That is very good, usually when people are in relationships like that they hold on much more than people who are in normal relationships even wehn they know they shouldn't!

Did something happen for you to feel this way? Or did you just suddenly turn like this?
