How do I grow up and stop having such an immature mindset about s.ex?
When I was younger, I said I'd never have sex until I was married. It always sounded like the most unappealing activity to me anyway, so I never really thought there was a chance I'd do otherwise. I guess I'm just a late bloomer, though, because when I turned about 18 or 19, I started actually having periods where I'd feel, I guess the term is h.orny although I hate that term. Started masturbating, started daydreaming about what it would feel like to have sex, started seeing hot guys and actually thinking I'd like to get in bed with them as opposed to just thinking "Oh he's cute, it'd be fun to cuddle with him and stuff," etc. I'm 23 now and still too afraid to actually do it. For one I hate my body and don't think anyone would want to sleep w/ me anyway, which is a separate issue, but I'm also just afraid. Afraid I'd regret it. Afraid I'd get too attached and then the guy would leave. Afraid I'd get pregnant. Just overall afraid, idk. I'm too old to think like this, though. How do I get past this?
If you were releasing a "Greatest Hits" compilation of songs describing your life so far, what would it contain?
Music is so powerful, isn't it?It has the ability to take us on an emotion journey, and then to help us express things we didn't have any other way of expressing.It can also help us to time travel, as there are certain songs that take us right back to certain points in our lives, and instantly recall memories for us.With that, here is the story of my life:Believe it or Not (theme from the Greatest American Hero)I Will - The BeatlesThe Entertainer - Billy JoelSteppin' Stone - The MonkeesPart of Your World - The Little MermaidKilling in the Name - Rage Against the MachineHurt - Nine Inch NailsNo one is to blame - Howard JonesAcross the Sea - WeezerRocket Man - Elton JohnTrippin' Billies - Dave Matthews BandLose Yourself - EminemHave a little faith in me - Joe CockerWalking on Sunshine - Katrina and the WavesMiami 2017 - Billy JoelStuck in a Moment - U2Superman - Five for FightingMr. Blue Sky - ELOYou're My Best Friend - QueenCount on Me - Bruno MarsPompeii - BastilleHarder Better Faster Stronger - Daft PunkTonight, Tonight - Hot Chelle RaeI lived - OneRepublicDon't stop me now - Queen25 songs that paint a pretty broad picture of the pattern that has been my life so far.
I've never had a boyfriend, or my first kiss, and I'm 18 years old?
Hi. So as the question stated, I'm 18, a senior in high school, and I've never had a boyfriend, or first kiss, or even come close to having either. This makes me feel insecure about myself. It's not that I'm desperate for either (though I *do* want a boyfriend), it's just that when others are talking about their past relationships, and stuff like that, I feel so awkward and left out. Like the other day in class everybody was reminiscing on their first kiss, which for most was in like Junior High, and then I'm just sitting there, not saying anything. I get so nervous that somebody will ask me about mine. Then I have to say I've never had it and I just feel like such a loser cause they freak out like I'm so weird for not, which I understand, because most people have had their first kiss by now lol So I guess what my question is, is how do I respond when people act like this? I've asked this before on here and people have said oh say "I'm just waiting for the right person, I want it to be special." Well that's not necessarily the truth even, it's just, I've never even like went on a date, really hung out with guys either, so I've never even had the chance to kiss anybody... So like...what would be a good way to respond? I just feel so bleh :( I didn't let this get me down in sophomore year cause you know I assumed it would happen by now, but no lol. I mean, I never even get invited to parties because people just assume I don't want to since I'm quieter and get good grades...so any advice on seeming more...lively? lol That would be appreciated too! Sorry for making this so long, but I could really use some advice.
My dog ate a mr. goodbar king size candy bar?????
If your dog is small, it might be a good idea to give him a capful or two of hydrogen peroxide to make him vomit it up.
Is materbation a bad thing to do?
Depends on who you ask and how you feel about yourself after you do it.
The Scarlet Letter question?
It remember that was in Chapter 11. Chapter 12 is when he goes to the scaffold. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/scarlet/se... Within here I think.. "While thus suffering under bodily disease, and gnawed and tortured by some black trouble of the soul, and given over to the machinations of his deadliest enemy, the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale had achieved a brilliant popularity in his sacred office. He won it, indeed, in great part, by his sorrows. His intellectual gifts, his moral perceptions, his power of experiencing and communicating emotion, were kept in a state of preternatural activity by the prick and anguish of his daily life. His fame, though still on its upward slope, already overshadowed the soberer reputations of his fellow-clergymen, eminent as several of them were. There were scholars among them, who had spent more years in acquiring abstruse lore, connected with the divine profession, than Mr. Dimmesdale had lived; and who might well, therefore, be more profoundly versed in such solid and valuable attainments than their youthful brother. There were men, too, of a sturdier texture of mind than his, and endowed with a far greater share of shrewd, hard, iron or granite understanding; which, duly mingled with a fair proportion of doctrinal ingredient, constitutes a highly respectable, efficacious, and unamiable variety of the clerical species. There were others, again, true saintly fathers, whose faculties had been elaborated by weary toil among their books, and by patient thought, and etherealized, moreover, by spiritual communications with the better world, into which their purity of life had almost introduced these holy personages, with their garments of mortality still clinging to them. All that they lacked was the gift that descended upon the chosen disciples, at Pentecost, in tongues of flame; symbolizing, it would seem, not the power of speech in foreign and unknown languages, but that of addressing the whole human brotherhood in the heart’s native language. These fathers, otherwise so apostolic, lacked Heaven’s last and rarest attestation of their office, the Tongue of Flame. They would have vainly sought—had they ever dreamed of seeking—to express the highest truths through the humblest medium of familiar words and images. Their voices came down, afar and indistinctly, from the upper heights where they habitually dwelt."
