Thats crazy! I would never do that! I wonder if they think about God while they do this.
you know what it kind of reminds me of. Have any of you ever seen that movie Geisha? Well the Geisha's would sell their virginities, I read the book and it was so gross because this guy that would always buy the Geishas virginity's would save the blood in a little vial!!

HustleTrees said: Even sex addicts have a sober date, but it's something that they define themselves. It could be forbidding themselves to masturbate to pornography, view pornographic materials/movies, or having sex with strangers or prostitutes. And if they're using the twelve step system, usually it's not appropriate to date anyone until you've been in recovery for a year. But it is healthy to have a healthy sexual relationship with a partner after a sex addict has complete control of their recovery.
There was an episode in desperate housewives where a guy that Bree was dating was a former sex addict. She tried kissing him and he just kept backing away and told her about his addiction. she accepted it and accepted not havng sex with him, but I guess he was such a bad sex addict that he didn't even care whether it was a boy or a girl. So when Brees son tried breaking them up he made a move on the guy and the guy went for it. I think an addict must be completely completely recovered to where sex rarely crosses his mind for them to get into a relationship.

I'm not really sure though if that clip will make people look at smoking in the movies a different way or stop the subliminal messaging.

Having smoking in a movie iesn't really a subliminal message though. Those are illegal. Did they start putting warning clips before videos that include smoking? The last movie I saw that had a smoker in it was My Bestfriends Girl, they didn't put up anything though. I dont think if they did either that it would matter much. Its just the image of the "cool" celebrity smoking that could bring out the wrong idea to kids and teenagers.
insomnia is bad for kids

I was reading an article that talked about how insomnia in adolescents can have some big effects when they get older. They increase the risk of developing mental health problems and also increase te seerity of these problems. Results indicated that adolescents who had symptoms of insomnia were 2.3 times more likely to develop depression in early adulthood. They were also much more likely to use alcohol, cannabis, and non-cannabis drugs, and was more likely to suffer from depression, suicide thoughts, and suicide attempts.
This has me kind of worried because my little sister suffers from insomnia and she always has. She’s 10 years old and barely ever sleeps. I fall asleep around 10:00 pm, but if I wake up to use the bathroom I pass by her room and her light is still on. She can never sleep early. She’s such a good and happy kid. Her grades are spectacular she doesn’t even get a B, and she wont ever do anything that’s wrong, she cries when I do. I cant ever imagine her being depressed or caught up with drugs and just thinking about it really bothers me.
