How does one NOT see this as ending a life? I"d like to hear a real explanation from some of the shallow-minded, gullible idiots out there with low enough natural morals that feel taking a life if "perfectly fine" Let's hear it.

I wrote before about how my family abuses me, they hit me with shoes, hangers and anything that they know will hurt. I am 14 and this has been going on since I was really little like around 3 I didn't know at the time because I was a toddler. they still hit me and beat me mainly my grandma my mom has custody of me but I live with my grandma my mom knows about the abuse because she abuses me to especially when she is mad and she abuses my little brothers who are 1 and 2. I am 14 and even I know that at the age 1 and 2 you don't know any better you don't know whets right and what's wrong but she still hits them I also with my little cousins ages 3 and 5 and they are abused by their father (my uncle) and their mom hits them too. my family see's this as discipline but this is child abuse I'm scared to call the police because if they don't do anything the abuse will get worse. I don't want to love here anymore. even though there are little kids in my family being hit. little kids tend to be attached to their parents no matter what the parent does or says so i don't want them to be removed from their family but i want to i really need help i want to call child protective services but i want to know if they can just talk to me i don't want them to try and change my family my family will act like nothing happened because they tell everyone i don't listen. i do listen but not when i think they are wrong. they will use that, saying that i don't listen to make cps believe them i don't have proof of abuse because every time i try to record them they take my ipad away and they beat me worse i want to know if i call child protective services will they remove me from my home if i don't want to live their anymore because of constantly being abused i wouldn't mind foster care i wish i could be adopted into a different family also if someone out their if people are allowed to report abuse for someone else please help me!

I work for an IT company as a support technician, and we provide support to another company. In this company there's this woman (who's quite beautiful) whom I've never talked to, but who has suddenly liked one of my photos on Instagram (a selfie). Now,- we don't have any mutual friends on Instagram, so I doubt she found me through it, so my guess is she actively looked me up through my company's facebook page (or maybe not, it's hard to tell). Anyway, it sparked my interest and I decided to look her up on Facebook. It says she's not in a relationship, but if one goes further down her timeline, one can see that she might be married to someone (the guys profile states that they are married). I don't remember seeing a ring, so I guess it might be some outdated data (I'll make sure to check next time I see her though). Now,- do you think she's actually interested in me, and if so, should I start by simply following her (sadly her Instagram is private) and maybe wait to DM her till I know she's not married. It's not the same company. The other company is HUGE, hundreds of employees.

That's it. Like what the ****!

A guy that I work with told me I look like one of the group hot hobbits that Sam likes from the lord of the ring movies? I know I'm small and this sounds cheesy lol but what does that mean? Does he like me or something?

ok so I don't know why but I've never been attracted to guys of my own nationality... (it doesn't have to do with having high standards, it's not only about looks, it's also about mentality) On the contrary, there were some foreign guys that I've found attractive So what do I do about it? I like my country so I don't want to move elsewhere but I don't find guys of own nationality attractive.. ps: I'm not from the usa just to clarify I am not a lesbian, I am not attracted to women either. sorry Happy-2 but you are so wrong. I just prefer Western guys with lighter features and very few guys in my country are like that I mean I'd like to be in a relationship but if I don't find anyone I like sorry Happy-2 but you are so wrong. I just prefer Western guys with lighter features and very few guys in my country are like that I mean I'd like to be in a relationship but if I don't find anyone I like

I've had a really hard year. Almost a year ago, my parents died. After they died, I stopped going to dance for a while...I missed our summer performance that I originally had a big part in, because I was busy dealing with everything. And then I went back, and it's never been the same. I gained a lot of weight during the month I was gone, lost a lot of flexibility, and I just wasn't as good as before. I've been trying to get back into my previous shape but it's been so hard. A lot of the time I just hate being at the studio because my mom isn't there, and she used to always be there and support me and now I don't have that. I'm starting to just want to quit dance; I'm starting to hate it. My brother, who is my legal guardian now, said that I wasn't allowed to quit, though...he told me that I need to stay at it, that it will keep me connected with my mom, that I shouldn't quit because I used to love it. But that's just it; I used to love it, but I don't anymore. We've been fighting a lot about this, and I just don't know what to do! Help! What should I do? Should I quit?

She's upset about a lot of things. Her worries make me upset too. I don't know what else to do

Well I asked my friend "Will it hurt you if I forget about you"? And he says "kinda ya" to me it's more like a no. What you think?

Why does this male co worker just stares at me? I have joined this workplace recently. There is a male co-worker, I have noticed him staring at me couple of times. I am a female in my 20s, I think he's in his late 30s and married. I have noticed him staring at me couple of times. He usually doesnt look away when I see him staring at him. Also, if we bump into each other, he stops and lets me go overtime

Basically everything was fine and he had told me to fold up the bedsheets and I did so. So I put the bedsheet with the others and I had gone to the bathroom, he called me out and said why did you do that? Before I got a chance to speak he slapped me in my face. I moved back and started crying hysterically and he immediately tried to hug me and told me that I'm being too dramatic but I pushed him away and he got upset and has been acting as if I'm not there. What should I do because now I'm scared of him but I do still love him. Disclaimer: this is the first time he's touched me

I've been going to this local church for a while and someone who i knew from a while ago, it was a toxic friend who I had a falling out with and who i really want nothing to do with, I saw him there! In fact, he was violent and abusive. It made me feel very uncomfortable and awkward to see him there again. He never went to church before so I don't know why he started coming all of a sudden. I don't want to see him, especially there... I want nothing to do with him at all and don't want this person in my life. I thought of not going to church if he's going to be there but I've made friends there and i don't want to not go just because of him. So please help me, do you have any advice on what to do? This situation is very awkward and i really don't want to see this person. Should I talk to someone at church about this? What's odd is that, he was never there all these years and now I see him all of a sudden..help. How do I deal with this? why would i have to go to a different church just because he's there? Personally, i just don't want to see him but i don't want to relocate just because HE'S there.. I've been there for years so i'm shocked to have seen him there today all of a sudden.... What would you do in this situation? I just find it really odd why he started going all of a sudden because he was never there before and this is really someone who i don't want to see.

My crush has stalked me to my class by eavesdropping on a convo. He take the same bus as me despite the fact that he lives two blocks away from the bus stop and another bus goes that directly to his place. Sits next to me on the bus as well, when there are other seats. I didn't think anything of it and thought he was just being shy so I made a move. When I spoke to him, he kept asking me out on dates. They were last minute and I had work or other plans. So I suggested the weekend and he ignore this! And continued to ask me out with last minute plans...I find it out. Now he's mad at me and won't text me....I told him in the last text "I'm sorry I was busy. I don't drink but I hope you had fun with friends!" Never wrote me back! I was being kind. I can't handle his inconsiderate planning

I like him but the thing is, I've told him my availabilities and asked him to hang on the weekend and yet he wakes up and asks to hang, im busy with work obviously because it last minute, then he says it's not a prob and asks again the next day...what the hell!???? Now he's pissed off at me and won't text me. What in the world have I done....why is he mad at ME?

My crush always evesdrops on my convos. He figured out where my last class was and ended up outside the door after class.

Met a woman who is 40 I am 32, she initiated contact with me on a mormon dating website telling me I looked like Kurt Russell. We have been friends for 6 months, in that time not a 24 hour period has went by where we haven't at least texted or called each other, I'd say we have been on probably 40 + dates. She told me I was her favorite boyfriend, that I have treated her the best of any man and that she likes how I treat her, we both have young boys near same age. If I didn't text her she always ended up texting me back with something like, "been thinking of you", " I miss you" , we have many of same hobbies like art and hiking and working out, she says I motivate her. But all of a sudden she told me 3 days ago that she decided to end things right after we went hiking with her son, I asked so we can't be friends or talk anymore? Her son woke up and ran towards me and said aren't you coming in to play, I had to say I'm sorry and had to walk away. I haven't made any effort to contact her cause I feel I already left it all on the table she knows I love her and we were both talking alot about marriage.

I have been friends with 3 girls since 7th grade, well all of them got into an argument and 1 of them is causing a bunch of drama. I am trying to stay out of it and I haven't been in it until now.... Rayne the drama queen doesn't want me to be friends with sam and rach who are the other 2 girls we have both been friends with forever. All 4 of us just graduated..... well I am just starting college and there is a gay guy who the drama queen doesn't want me to be friends with, he is so nice to me and all. He is like my new bestie. And then there is a guy in a wheelchair who she is starting crap with, she doesn't want me, sam or rach to be friends with him bc he is in a wheelchair. He can't help it he was born cripple.... also she has like 4 friends and a "boyfriend" who I am not allowed to meet. She can have other friends but she is the only friend I can have. So do I continue to be her friend or do I be friends with rach and sam

Wouldn't you reply back something? I don't get this guy. Sure I rejected him but I said it as nice as possible and he never wrote back...I'm honestly just curious why. It's not a big deal but why not be mature about it? We will bump into each other...

I really liked him at first and I know he has liked me since the beginning of the school year. He keeps asking me out and I've made so many excuses cause I'm too afraid to tell him I'm not interested anymore and wanted to be friends only. He stopped talking to me. Should I tell him I'm sorry? And the truth? We're in college

She met him one time and he said hi to her beyond that she doesn't know him nor has approached her wrongly. He is an older man and I'm in my late 20s. I love him dearly and no ideal why she is jealous of my relationship I'm a grown *** woman and mother of 3. Who I date and love should not be a factor to anyone else's life. Seems like jealous because her Les gf and her are having issues. At the end of the day she doesn't know my boyfriend personally and he doesn't know her personally so why is it a factor in her life idk.

If you were with someone for 3 years and broke up because of losing the spark, would you get back with them a few years later if they realised their mistake?

I want to go swimming or just do something so I don't have to do nothing over summer vacation. He works but i've spent the night at friends house before. This is completely new I haven't done anything bad. Even if he is worried wich i doubt it's not an exuse to keep someone stuck at there house when they didn't do anything !

I am not nice or good enough to be asked to get married to. I feel myself so ashamed. Do they really think that way?

I am the only one trying to get to know him and text him. He doesn't care about me or my life except sexual topics. He even said if I don't send nudes he'd stop talking to me forever. I just can hardly believe that someone would see me as an object for masturbation like that. Does he really only see me as some blow up doll to be used for sex?

Hello, everyone. I am an undergraduate college student here.
