How do I know if my exes ever thinks about me?
As others have said. You don't forget exes. Especially if it was a substantial relationship. I.e. One where you see each other once a week for at least a year. Even casual dates still cross the mind in short bursts here and there. But meaningful ones will linger like a sack of potatoes on your back the rest of your life.I still remember and love and miss an ex I fell in love with 20 years ago. We dated for 3 months, a whirlwind romance. I quit job school and family to move to another country to be with her. And it burned me as she had a fiancée and I was basically the other guy. Living with her. Obviously this exploded and it was a nightmare for me. But for 2 months I was the happiest man alive. 20 years later I still break into tears thinking about her. Mind you, if I ever saw her in person, I'd quickly go yell at her and maybe even through a tomatoe……. But it doesn't change the feelings of love and anguish and all the complex emotions that still exist in the heart. Or that sack of potatoes.
Do Black Americans realize that no matter how they act the media will still paint them as ghetto?
Here is a PERFECT example: http://zuri1.com/2011/01/26/mother-jailed-for-sending-kids-to-wrong-school-district/ A black Mother who wanted only THE BEST for her children...used one of the Father's address to register her children in a better school district so that her children could simply get a better education (she lived in the projects in Akron, Ohio). She was sentenced to 10 days in jail and three years probation and her name and photo was pasted all over every paper and she was on every news channel including CNN. If she were white this would NEVER have happened!!!!! The media is owned and controlled by white people and they have always portrayed ANYONE of ANY opposite race in any extremely negative light. How many times have you seen a black child on Nancy Grace? It's extremely rare that they use the power of the press to help them FIND a missing black child who is in trouble...it does happen...but it's RARE..99% of the time it's white kids. Excellent point.!!! Peace, Love & Happiness
Do people still think about their exes, even though they are happy with someone else?
Of course! Psychologically normal, healthy people think about their past. They think about old teachers in grade school, friends they haven't spoken to in years, that one time they went on vacation with their grandma before she died, the pet they had when they were 12, and yes, former partners. People are not androids. They do not have their data bank erased at the end of a relationship.And normal, healthy people don't freak out or become jealous over the fact that their partner thinks about an ex.
Why is Stereotyping BAD?
Well stereotyping is considered bad because not everyone is the same even though there are some good stereotypes most are bad and are generalizations due to race, sex, religion, ETC. Some examples of stereotypes that im familiar with are the hispanic/mexican ones since both my parents are from mexico I proudly consider myself a Mexican born in the US I am in fact also proud to be born here and am proud to be an American Citizen since I have privileges and rights here that in other countries don't exist. back to the point one stereotype about mexicans that come to the US is that they are here to get welfare which is not 100% true my parents never got any money from the american gov. due to the fact that the way most mexicans are raised to be proud and work for themselves but just like with everything there are always bad ones that ruin it for everyone else and are the reasons that stereotypes are created the reason that i feel that stereotypes are also bad is because you generalize a whole group of people for something that probably a few do and the people that do those things aren't always included for example mexicans eat beans as true as that is other races include beans in their diets not just mexicans And labellings like stereotyping is also bad my example being me since i guess i would be labeled as a "emo" "goth" or a "punk" I don't consider myself either it being because the generalization of emos is that they are depressed well if you actually knew me and most of the people that are labeled as that they are for the most part happy and because of the most radical ones a label was put across everyone that are similar to them that for the most part is not true In conclusion stereotyping is bad because you miss out on meeting new cool interesting people because you are viewing them with a narrow window and not taking the time to view them as an individual think of it as when you where in school and your whole class got in trouble for something that one person did was that fair and how did it make you feel taking the blame for something that you had no part in?
TEENS: Is being country considered 'cool' where you are?
Usually you think of the popular people as the preps or jocks right? Well where I live all the cool people are farmers, who drive chevy trucks, wear flannel with boots and cowboy hats, and love country music. I feel like I dont fit in where I live because I am more of a city person.... Is my school the only one that is like this?
