I've done this before with my Macy's card, I kept telling myself "You make enough, you can afford it, you need this.." Thankfully I've paid it off, but I had to cut it up, I couldn't handle it.. there's too much expensive stuff to buy in one month to have one.

I don't get it, why is the mom in jail when it's suposedly the guy's fault? It's so sad that these parents are so carelss, they could've poisoned their baby. And there's families like this all over the nation. I agree with you, if they're gonna sit there and be meth addicts, why even have kids or why not send them to live somewhere else..

I'm sure Australia and the US has comparable statistics. But I haven't seen a ton of information showing that alcohol use among teens is increasing... I wonder if poeple are just realizing it now. But it was definately the popular thing to do at my high school. If there was a fat party, the whole school was there.

My mom was always overweight ever since she was a child, then in college she decided to lose a ton of weight and she did! She got down to 115 lbs and she met my dad. But she always felt that her family only loved her and fussed over her and her family because she was now skinny. And she would always tell my dad how she liked being overweight better, because that's who she was, it's how she'd always been. She gained some weight back, but still feels worried about her body at times.
