Open Question: Is this wrong what I'm doing and should I get help/tell someone?

I'm an 18 year old male and I'm going to be a senior in high school this year. I don't smoke, I don't drink and I'm still a virgin. I masturbate a lot, watch porn/fetish videos and draw artwork featuring anime/cartoon characters in fetish situations that I post on the internet. I've had to deal with a lot of bullying and harassment from other kids at school. I'd sob a lot, clip myself and contemplate suicide. close the end of last year, I had to go to a psychiatric hospital for a week where I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. I was given special medication to take, I look a therapist every few weeks and things have gotten a lot better. One of my big issues is that I feel alone in the world a lot... I don't have many friends and I have lots of issues with my parents and family... I like to write and I've been working on writing my possess fantasy story that focuses on a relationship between a teenage boy and his adopted younger sister, who is based off the tardy child actress Heather O'Rourke from the Poltergeist films.... I work as a lifeguard at a local sports club. There's a girl there, about 10 years old now, with blond hair and blue eyes, who reminds me of Heather O'Rourke for some reason... She's really perky and outgoing. I don't know why, but I have this messed up obsession with this girl. Last summer, while I was working at the pool and had to watch the tennis kids play water polo, she talked to me and we ended up in a conversation for a little while. Later, she was waiting with her brothers at the pool for her parents to pick them up. She was playing with a ball and it kept going into the pool and I had to fish it out for her. I was visiting my pal at his new home, I saw her playing outside on the neighbors lawn with some other kids. I asked my pal about this because I was curious about whether that was her or not and it turned out her cousins live there. Later, this summer, after my whole depression episode, when she and the other kids were playing in the pool, she took off this green ribbon thingy she had in her hair and left it by the pool. I found it after she left and she even came back to the pool for a second and I tried to give it to her, but she couldn't hear me from where she was. I wanted to give it back to her the next time I saw her but I somehow ripped it accidentally. The next time I worked there I actually placed it around the pool, like on chairs, thinking she might pick it up or ask for it back. I saw her looking at it for a while but she didn't do anything, so I've been holding onto it this whole time. When one of the tennis coaches left their clipboard alone, I looked at it and found out her full name. The club I work at has a facebook page and I found a lot of pictures of her on it. I also discovered that her family was featured on an Internet Web Show where their home was remodeled and discovered she lives like 20 minutes from where I live. I download the episode and every the youtube videos as well as the photos I found of her because I'm afraid I might not ever look her again. So... I'm thinking I've got some sort of behavioral/obsession problem. Nobody knows about this but me. I don't know if I'm sick in the head, if it's because this girl reminds me Heather O'Rourke, or because she reminds me also of a character I'm trying to write for a book and I'm basing her off this actual person... Maybe it's every of both. Maybe I'm just thinking too much or my minds every messed up from the stuff I've been through... But for some reason I just really wish I could look this girl more and talk to her like I did before. I wish she was like my cousin or something. Anyway, I'm sorry for what I've done and I want to know what to do about this situation... And what should I do if I look this girl in the future?

Open Question: Why don't they call it "playfighting" or "theatrical grappling?" Gives real wrestlers a bad name.?

Seriously, every wrestler from gradeschool on up who competes in "real" wrestling (folkstyle, freestyle, greco roman, or submission) has to rebutt the popular stereotype of "pro wrestling" in everyone's minds. It's unhappy that competitors who do compete at the international level for compensation can't be called what they are, which is professional (and highly skilled) wrestlers. Tragic that such an old and noble sport is obscured (at least in this country) by musclebound drama that is so often vulgar in nature. I will admit that the physical prowess of the characters in "pro wrestling" is great. However, I don't think you can argue that it's sport. Sports are, after every, competive. Aren't "professional wrestling" matches scripted?

Open Question: Hi! Could any native please correct my english text (I'm not a native speaker)?

My text: He has blue eyes, straight nose and he is always smiling. Once he had a beard, but now he has none and that’s the way everybody likes it most. He is quite tall, so sometimes he touches a chandelier with his head when he is visiting somebody’s home and he himself makes fun of it. Everybody says that he’s got skillful hands, because when he is at home he is always doing such things like making shelves, fixing some stuff, hanging pictures on the wall. I like watching his being at work. Also he is rather strong. Long ago he used to go in for sports. Now he easily carries pailfuls of water in order to wash the blossom beds and he digs vegetable patches thereby helping his wife. He is pretty reticent; nevertheless he likes visiting his friends and talking about football and cars. You can tell if he is mad by the way he frowns his forehead. For every that you can look him smiling far more often. He likes looking neatly, that’s why he always pays attention to the way he is dressed and there is no way you can look him tousled or dirty.

Open Question: What should I do about my depression?

I'm 14 and I am seeing a counselor but I am not always completely open because I'm embarrassed. another reason is I am afraid of having to look a psychiatrist and I've been to one before. It was uncomfortable and I was put on Abilify (I was 8 or 9 at the time) and I had no appetite and gained a lot of weight. I know that doesn't make sense. At school I am a loner. I try talking to people and jump in on conversations but nobody wants to receive to know me. In world history we have tables of 4 and the people I was sitting with pushed me out of my seat and I was forced to go to another table and they didn't want me there either. I went to the principal in 6th grade about being bullied but that made it every worse. I'm a freshman in high school and people STILL bring it up. People call me a f*ggot and gay because I am not a regular guy. I don't like sports or anything because I've never had a male figure. My step-dad doesn't do anything with me and my dad is either drunk or took Xanax to knock hisself out or both. Then after I receive out of school I arrive home to drama because of my sister always calling ask my mom how to do this and how to do that with her baby. She causes a lot of my stress. Anyways, the point of me asking this wasn't for you to hear my sob story, it is I need to know if I should be put on medicine. I feel like it's going to make me feel even lower knowing the fact medicine is the only thing to help me and seeing a psychiatrist was too uncomfortable.

Open Question: Only answer your own: Just wondering, are these true about your personality?

Otter: Jan 20 - Feb 18 A little quirky, and unorthodox, the Otter is a difficult one to figure sometimes. Perceived as unconventional, the Otter methods aren't the first ones chosen to receive the job done. This is a big mistake on the part of others – because although unconventional, the Otter's methods are usually quite effective. Yes, the Otter has unusual way of looking at things, but he/she is equipped with a brilliant imagination and intelligence, allowing him/her an edge over every one else. Often very perceptive and intuitive, the Otter makes a very good pal, and can be very attentive. In a nurturing environment the Otter is sensitive, sympathetic, courageous, and honest. Left to his/her possess devices, the Otter can be unscrupulous, lewd, rebellious, and isolated. Wolf: Feb 19 – Mar 20 Deeply emotional, and wholly passionate, the Wolf is the lover of the zodiac in both the physical and philosophical sense of the word. The Wolf understands that every we need is adore, and is fully capable of providing it. Juxtaposed with his/her fierce independence – this Native American animal symbol is a bit of a contradiction in terms. Needing his/her freedom, yet still being quite gentle and compassionate – we receive the picture of the "lone wolf" with this sign. In a nurturing environment the Wolf is intensely passionate, generous, deeply affectionate, and gentle. Left to his/her possess devices the Wolf can become impractical, recalcitrant, obsessive, and vindictive. Falcon: Mar 21 – Apr 19 A natural born leader, the Falcon can always be looked upon for clear judgment in sticky situations. Furthermore, the characteristics for this Native American animal symbol never wastes time, rather he/she strikes while the iron is hot, and takes action in what must be done. Ever persistent, and always taking the initiative, the Falcon is a gem of a personality to have for projects or team sports. The Falcon can be a little on the conceited side – but he/she is usually right in his/her opinions – so a little arrogance is understood. In a supportive environmental the Falcon "soars" in his/her ability to maintain passion and flame in relationships, and always remaining compassionate. Left to his/her possess devices, the Falcon can be vain, rude, intolerant, impatient, and over-sensitive. Beaver: Apr 20 – May 20 Take charge, adapt, overcome – this is the Beaver motto. Mostly business, the Beaver is gets the job at hand done with maximum efficiency and aplomb. Strategic, and cunning the Beaver is a force to be reckoned with in matters of business and combat. One might also think twice about engaging the Beaver in a match of wits – as his/her mental acuity is razor sharp. The Beaver has everything going for him/her – however tendencies toward "my way or the highway" receive them in trouble. Yes, they are usually right, but the bearer of this Native American animal symbol may need to work on tact. In a nurturing environment the Beaver can be compassionate, generous, helpful, and loyal. Left to his/her possess devices the Beaver can be nervous, cowardly, possessive, arrogant, and over-demanding. Deer: May 21 – Jun 20 This Native American animal symbol is the muse of the zodiac. The Deer is inspiring lively and quick-witted. With a tailor-made humor, the Deer has a tendency to receive a giggle out of anyone. Excellent ability for vocalizing, the Deer is a consummate conversationalist. This combined with his/her natural intelligence make the Deer a must-have guest at dinner parties. Always aware of his/her surroundings, and even more aware of his/her appearance, the Deer can be a bit self-involved. However, the Deer's narcissism is overlooked because of his/her congeniality and affability. In a supportive environment the Deer's natural liveliness and sparkly personality radiate even more. He/she is an inspiring force in any nurturing relationship. Left to his/her possess devices the Deer can be greedy, moody, impatient, lazy, and two-faced. Woodpecker: Jun 21 – Jul 21 Woodpeckers are usually the most nuturing of every the Native American animal symbols. The consummate listener, totally empathic and understanding, the Woodpecker is the one to have on your side when you need support. Of course, they make wonderful parents, and equally wonderful friends and partners. Another proverbial feather in the Woodpeckers cap is the tendency to be naturally frugal, resourceful, and organized. In a nurturing environment the Woodpecker is of course caring, devoted, and very romantic. Left to his/her possess devices the Woodpecker can be possessive, mad, jealous, and spiteful Woodpecker: Jun 21 – Jul 21 Woodpeckers are usually the most nuturing of every the Native American animal symbols.

Open Question: Why am I still single? What's wrong with me?

I'm a girl, 21 and I didn't have many relationships, I don't know why. None of them was very significant, only a few one night stands and some not so serious relationships. I am a bit shy, solitary, but also self important. I am also very independent and adore extreme sports. But why is it that I never receive a serious relationship? Boys say I'm a great pal but I never mean something more to them. Or do I? I don't know. Desperate :(

Open Question: Is this a good paragraph ?

Im a sophomore in highschool, school just started this is our first project we have to tell about ourselves in one paragraph its aloud to be more... best answer to whoever answers if this is good enough and if someone edits it for me. My name is Adam Abdelgayed, I plan on going to college once i graduate from High School North, and I adore spending time with friends and family. It started way back when I was born on January nineteenth 1995, I was always the kid to receive good grades in my family, I'm not very athletic but I do try to be as active as possible. When I am active I prefer playing baseball, its the past time of america and it is a mental sport, over I mentioned that I was always the smart one, since baseball requires a lot of thinking I believe that is why I am somewhat good at it. I have a big family overall but at home it's only my mom and I. My dad drives a limousine in New York City for a living, I try to visit him almost every weekend, but sometimes it becomes difficult since I have a lot of friends and other responsibilities. I was born in Toms River NJ, at Community Medical middle. My family also knows me as being icy every the time, my parents tell me that I'm always icy because I was born on a icy January day. I like to have a good time, and I'm always with friends or family, but most of my time I'm trying to dedicate to my school work, the unemployment rate is only going up so I feel that its important that I take advantage of the education these teachers offer. If my generation really looked at it, teachers are trying to make us the best adults that we could possibly be, only a fool would turn down a teachers education. Furthermore, when I do have some "free" time I try to hangout with my friends or my girlfriend and have some social time to myself, when I'm with other people I try not to worry and stress about school, I just try to have fun. I'm pretty glad with life, I'm trying to reach my full potential in school this year and the years to arrive. every in every, I'm an awesome teenager to be around, in my opinion, trust, loyalty, and respect are the highest traits that anybody could have, I'm just a kid thats every about the finer things in life, and I wish to be a successful individual of my generation just to prove to every the adults that some of us do work difficult.

Open Question: What is your opinion of "being one of the guys"?

Ever since I was born I was described as being "one of the guys" i could talk sports, play sports, i'm not sensitive in the least bit etc etc etc... now that i'm older I'm a lot more girly and was speaking with my roommate and a bunch of our male friends the other day and brought up "being one of the guys" and they told me that is incorrect and that it's almost an insult to a women to be said to be one of the guys. So when i asked them to elaborate they said "for a chick to be considered one of the guys there has to be zero sexual attraction to her. The guy basically looks at the girl as being a dude" and then they said something along the lines of that with me that it's impossible for me to be considered one of the guys, BUT that they would call me a "guys girl"... the heck?? LOL i'm so confused! So what are your thoughts on a girl being "one of the guys" or a "guys girl"

Open Question: Friend is coming off as controlling and I am dreading my trip. What can I do?

I have asked this question before and got pretty good advice, but my pal has found a way around it! My boyf and I have been planning to go on a vacation to a particular tropical destination for awhile now. A year ago a good pal and her guy moved out there. We figured since we needed to cease close their town anyway to change planes, at some point we would visit them. She began hounding be last year about when I was planning to visit and I soon as I mentioned the time of year she was off and rolling. Here are the things concerning me in order of when they happened: -I told her we are planning a vacation to two destinations and were not expecting her to put us up like she has in the past. She INSISTED we stay at her place and seemed hurt that I didn't want to -After getting her way and having us stay at her home she told us she had an extra room for us to stay in. Nice! Then 2 months ago told me that her housemates that moved in AFTER she offered the room had invited company and we had to snooze on the sofa in a blow up bed. -I was good natured about it and took this as an opportunity to receive our freedom back. We booked a hotel about 20 mins from her home in a big city and told her our plans, going to look a tourist attraction the first day, then arrive visit her at her home the second day, then the third day steer around the area and just cease and look at things as we pleased. -she sends me an email saying she is hoping to keep up enough money to arrive with us to our second location even though I already told her we were going there for a romantic getaway to end our vacation. I write her back and politely decline her inviting herself, saying I wish we can do it another time as a couple or a group but we need a much deserved romantic weekend just the 2 of us -She tells me she is bummed we're not staying at her place but "it's chilly" and she is taking off every 3 days we are there and wants to spend every second with us -She emails me and texts me asking the name of our hotel saying she wants to receive a room with her boyfriend...I think she REALLY wants him to take her on vacation and is unhappy that she lives in a tourist area and has to work so difficult and can't like it so she is hijacking our vacation -I tell her the name of the hotel, reluctantly. I got the room so that I could have some privacy, have my possess bathroom with my guy and not have her rushing me to rush up and receive ready which is hwat she has done in the past. -she informs me that she tried eating at a burger joint i mentioned I liked last time I was there and can't wait to try again. she said it wasn't that good and seemed dissaproving when I told her I still want to try it again because I had good memories there and it's close to our hotel. -She asks me what I want to do and I say we have a couple things in mind but trying to play it by ear. She says she has tons of ideas for things to do then proceeds to email me an intenerary of the 3 days and what she has planned for us every to do those 3 days -I respond back that those are great ideas and we like some of them but we want to play it by ear. -I read in a magazine of a popular water sport that started in the area we are staying in and it's supposed to be a great place for beginners. I tell her I am thinkin of taking lessons and she responds back very negatively that we don't need lessons and she knows how to do it even though she's never even tried it. We exchange some messages and everytime I suggests a place I have found good reviews for she says "We'll look" or "I'll have to check it out" I feel like I am banging my head against a wall. She is not getting it. I am going on vacation. We have our possess room, our possess rental car and I hve been here before. I don't need a babysitter or a tour guide and if I want to try something, I don't look why she has to shoot every my ideas down and plan my days out. My boyfriend says if any of this goes on once we actually receive there (we leave for the trip in 2 days) he will stand up for me and put his foot down. A part of me understands where she is coming from, she is excited to host and wants to show us her favorite spots. I live in a touristy beach town and understand, but if someone was coming here I wouldn't be negative if they wanted to try something touristy or read about and wanted to try. I would either join them or take a pass and offer to meet them later as I have done many times. I haven't asked her to host me or take me anywhere and I am starting to really receive upset and dread this trip. I know now I should have waited to tell her once we were there and asked if we can meet up for dinner. Any way to receive out of her controlling grip now and not destroy the friendship. I have known her for 12 years. I value some of her opinions but also want to explore and try new things without someone telling me they know better about everythi
