What kind of guy does this make me?
My dream girl. Curly hair. Very intelligent. Exercises. Loves sports. Enjoys to watch movies. So respectful. Understanding. Loves to cuddle. Very helpful. Loves to have a good time. She perfers outdoor activities over inside. Like sports, amusement parks, water parks, beach or kayaking. Don't care about expensive or nice gifts. Perfers to go to cheap restaurants over those expensive restaurants where you barley get food.
What kind of an adult does a child who was abused physically and emotionally by his parents grow up to become?
everything depends on the child's inner soul strength - he/she might have been abused but he/she grows up into a nice understanding strong person and achieves even more in life than the child loved and cared by parents. I know a boy, who since he was an infant was severely abused by his parents (physically, emotionally and in any possible way), finally they kicked him out of house 'cause he was on their way of taking drugs and alcohol. He found himself in the street completely alone. Now he is the general manager of the big IT company earning a lot of money, having his own family. So no matter how life can treat someone severely, one should be strong and choose his/her own way in life. We make the choice, not the choice picks us.
Does this dream mean something? (The dream is kind of adult, pg-13 only :D)?
NC-17. It was once frightening and unhappy. More often than not scary. And irritating. I saved having to go to a bad public restroom and that i stored getting misplaced and under no circumstances getting relief. I feel I misplaced four pounds of fluid when I ultimately aroused from sleep after punching my hubbyish.
What does "Adult Swim" mean?
During warm months in the USA, large numbers of children go to play in public swimming pools whenever they can. Public swimming pools are also a place for adults to go and exercise swimming long distances in a straight line (lap swimming). It can be somewhat difficult and annoying for adults to swim laps in a pool where children are playing, and depending on arrangement of the pool it also might not be very fun for the children. So the pool typically sets aside time periods during day when all the children have to get out of the pool so the adults can swim in peace. See Do pools need adult-only swim time? in The New York Times.The Cartoon Network airs material that is intended to be appropriate for children; Adult Swim airs on the same channel as the Cartoon Network at night when kids shouldn't be watching. So the meaning they're evoking is "adult-focused period in a space that's generally for kids."
When you become an adult does your parents stop wanting to have anything to do with you?
Not usually. Try being nice to their spouses and being actual friends with them and noticing that you're not the center of the universe, don't ask for money and try putting other people first and maybe they'll actually want you around when you stop being so needy. If their significant others don't want to spend time with you, make plans with just your mom and dad on days where it doesn't interfere with their lives. Chances are their SO's are seeing your parents still having to do way too much for what normal people do for their adult children. If they have the perception that you're in the way, then they're getting that perception from your own parents because you are probably acting in a way that you are in the way. Social activity works both ways. Have you ever invited your parent with their significant other out for dinner and paid or cooked them dinner? Have you ever brought flowers or wine when one of them made dinner for you? Emotional support also works both ways. If you're constantly dumping on your parents and not sharing the good things, if you're constantly rolling your eyes at them, it's no wonder they want nothing to do with you.
What do you think of an adult who thinks its ok to tell a child to f*** off?
If that adult is a parent, then s/he is not functioning as a parent at all. That sort of violent, abusive language , together with insults and other nasty forms of verbal discipine damages a child's development. Add in shouting, yelling, swearing and screaming and you are really damaging a child in the long run.What is even worse is that sort of behavior is teaching the child that this is a perfectly acceptable way of dealing with all the anger and stress they meet as they grow up. What a lousy model! The problem is that adults who use that sort of language haven't a clue about parenting and they have never heard of using a calmer approach.Studies show that kids subjected to this kind of behavior are at greater risk of developing behavior problems and even suffering from depression as they grow up. Adolescence is a particularly sensitive time. As many as 1 in 8 teens are at risk of depression and you can be sure that errors in disciplining is one of the major causesIn various surveys, shouting is seen as being particuarly ineffective and useless. "This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don't listen,” - Ming-Te Wang. professor of psychology in education at the University of PittsburghTeens who had to put up with swearing when they were 13 years old were more at risk of falling into a depression than their counterparts who were receiving a gentler type of discipline. The ones who were treated badly were also more likely to end up stealing, fighting and lying! Talk about a boomerang. In my opinion, those parents deserved it but they never thought about it or were incapable of learning some decent parenting techniques. There is a very good article here on the negative effects of swearing and shouting at children.Yelling at Children (Verbal Abuse)
I'm 20 and don't feel like an adult. What is wrong with me?
I also feel like I'm still a “kid". I'm 24, have failed at many things, including my studies and my relationships.What I think of this, if I look at it from the inside is that this depends mostly on the way we compare ourselves to others. This concerns ; decision making, answering questions, the way I act or even the tone of my voice. The conclusion I reach is always that others have more “appropriate" behaviour, that they match more with the situation than the answers/behaviour I come accross.This is a problem I find pretty tough to deal with as it could pop up for any reason into my mind, but I will try to give you the advices that help me the most.First of all, you have to know that this is your personality. It shapes you and this is what makes you attractive or repulsive to others. Accepting that is one large step further. By this I mean that you have your own way dealing with problems or choosing turning left or right. You and I surely will end up being wrong, yet the only way to deal with this failure is to laugh at it. As others will.The other thing I like to remind myself is that I have experience to buid. I'm not 60 yet, and don't want to be already. Have fun no matter how it sounds or look like, you will respond differently according to the situation.Experience is what will make you grow.I'd also add to consider your studies/work with serious, even if you could find a better job tomorrow, just give the best of yourself to feel like you gave the best of yourself at the end of the day. People will respect and consider you for this.I hope you will find some inspiring stuff in this. But you might not just aswell.Good luck! :)Hshuebrioosppaldhufurlvshahske
Does it make me abnormal if I watch cartoons as an adult? I prefer watching them as it helps me to cheer up my mood.
All the answers hit the subject on the head. I am a 23 year old guy, turning 24 in a few months, and I still watch anime and cartoons every single day. Yes, I do, and I am happy about it. Does it make me socially inept? No. Why? Because I have a schedule for watching the shows. I don’t have the habit of binge watching the shows. An hour everyday is enough, ass I cover 3 episodes of an anime series. For example, right now, I am watching Samurai Champloo. I know, old anime, but its one the greatest anime out there, trust me. You must watch it. It has 26 episodes, and I watch 3–4 episodes everyday in the afternoon, after lunch. I am not studying at that time, and need to wind down a bit, and this works out well for me, without getting saturated.But also remember that you have a life outside the screen, which is real and much more interesting than anime. Trust me.So, if any one calls you abnormal in the future for watching animated shows, screw them. While growing up, we must not lose the child inside us. I am never going to stop watching animated series ever.
If my mum is Asian and my dad is white, what does that make me?
I’m guessing you’re American? Because I notice so much race consciousness in the US that is far less important in many other countries. (Apologies if I’m wrong.)My mother was Austrian and my father was English. (Both ‘white’, of course.) To me it was an interesting difference between me and my peers, but nothing more than that. I went on to marry an Arab and we had two children. I eventually ended the marriage and returned to England to bring up my children alone. I never, ever came across racism where they were concerned, although of course there may have been some that I was unaware of. As far as I know, they have not experienced any racism anywhere.My son now lives in the US. He is married to a Venezuelan American, and they have a very beautiful young daughter. Quite a racial mixture, of course, but predominantly Venezuelan.I hope that when she’s old enough she won’t feel the need to question what she is. She’s beautiful and intelligent, and the product of love between two people of different races and backgrounds. Who cares whether she’s ‘white’, Hispanic, or whatever the hell she is? She’s wonderful.And you probably are too!Oh, did you know that the children of two very different races tend to be particularly intelligent?
