It's really important to stay out of the sun when you're young.  A lot of my friends are obsessed with tanning salons and I know they're going to regret it when they're older.  Moderation is important :)

That is a pretty funny thing to say.  He obviously thinks he's above the law or that law enforcement is dumb for not catching onto what these kids were doing.  You can't expect to get away with something like that, they basically gave themselves in.

She should buy a scooter, they're cheap on gas and I doubt the insurance is expensive.  Her bills are important, if she doesn't pay them she's going to ruin her credit.  I don't think she should open a new credit card, a month will come around in no time and it'll just be another bill to pay.

I used to be completely obsessed with sushi.  I remember saying I want a sushi chef to come live with me so I could have it whenever I want, because it's healthy for you too.  But now I'm pretty sick of it, if I do have it, I can only eat two bites and I'm done.

Okay but it's really not that bad.  We might have the worst education, but we have the most educated people.  At least we're trying!

I really believe this.  If you try drugs as a teenager, you know what you're in for and you won't be as scared to try them in the future.  Hopefully with all of the awareness about amphetamines, preteens will be less likely to try them as teenagers and adults.
Getting Over Your Ex

 Since obsessive love addiction is fueled by fantasy, modifying your thoughts is the best way to get over an ex. To break the cycle, Schaeffer outlines the following steps to help people forget the past and focus on the future.

• Assess yourself for love addiction tendencies honestly. Some signs include obsessive thoughts about another person that interfere with your life and feelings of worthlessness or depression when not in a relationship

• Know healthy love exists and how to identify it.

• Be willing to face the pain letting go produces.

• Discover and address the underlying causes and psychological beliefs that support the compulsive/obsessive behavior. Ask yourself questions like, "What do I believe about relationships, love, and myself? Why might I fear closeness? Do I believe people will disappoint me or I will disappoint them?"

• Don't forget the past; utilize it. Acknowledge that you will move beyond any painful experiences and focus on future relationship success.

• Find a support group such as Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous or a therapist trained in love addiction to help you through this transition.

I only started getting into church less than a year ago.  I accepted him into my heart, but even after that, it took me a long time to begin a true relationship with him.  For a while, it was on and off.  I would have period where I would ignore him and I now realize that those were the hardest times.  But the more we trust him, and the more of our lives we give him, the better our lives will be.  Now, I pray to him like I'm talking to him.  Like I talk to mom and dad about my problems.  I don't leave anything out and I tell him what's in my heart, and I tell him why I'm feeling down, and I thank him for everything.  Remember that there are poeple and things in your life that are trying to bring  you down, make your life worse.  And because of that, it's important to rely on God, make him your number one priority and I guarantee you'll see and feel a difference.

I think that's pretty typical of a dealer's house.  A friend of mine, his sister had an entire suitcase full of weed because she was holding it for a friend.  Weed is probably the least dangerous thing to have in your house, even growing the plants isn't harmful for us. But cooking meth and other drug is very dangerous, but common for a lot of homes.

I know what you mean, affairs make good drama on tv and movies... and
most of the time it's unrealistic situations, but still, it's sending
mixed messages to viewers.  It surprises me how many actual affairs
happen every day.  But I think we can all agree that sleeping with
someone else isn't helping the situation, whatever it may be.  And it's
so unfair to blame the faithful spouse!
