Currently living alone, and I love it :) ...It probably helps that the last person I lived with was an ex who couldn't pick up after himself :giggle: If you've never lived alone, it can seem weird at first- might seem a little lonely or scary. But focus on having a place that's *yours*. You...

Just an update: I gave the presentation tonight. I talked a little about a *lot* of things, including different levels of hearing loss and different ways people can lose their hearing, things kids with hearing loss might be misdiagnosed with (eg. ADHD if they struggle to follow directions...

:laugh2:

Exactly. Whatever you teach people, they're going to do what they want to do. The difference is whether they make smart choices about HOW they do it (ie using condoms) or go about it like idiots.

Obviously belated now, but :birthday:

Banjo, I think you need to start doing my homework for me :D

PS Whatever, you'll be fine! :hug:

Just throwing my cents in there as a fellow bisexual woman... Basically, I agree with what a few people have already said. Just tell your family that you've fallen in love with a woman. I wouldn't condone lying, necessarily, and saying you're simply gay. A), I just think its always a...

Enjoy.

I'm a firm believer in sex education. And I think that just teaching abstinence is asking for trouble. Just because you only teach abstinence doesn't mean that kids will all be abstinent, and it's extremely naive to think otherwise. A lot of those kids also probably aren't getting info from...

Haha jillio, if you'd been a war-protesting hippie, I think that'd only make me like you more. Very impressed by how much Banjo knows about serial killers! :shock: :giggle:

Thats beautiful! I'll try to get pics of mine up soon.

I've dealt with depression, and have been on a few different anti-depressants over time. The thing to bear in mind is different ones work differently for different people- depression can be tied to an imbalance of a few different chemicals in your brain (dopamine, seratonin, norepinephrine) and...

Pretty scary, really

You'll notice that not all animals do the same things. It comes with belonging to different species. Just because a cow moos and a dog barks doesn't mean they're not both animals. As are we. Though, as Caroline pointed out, we're often an embarressment to the animal kingdom.

I get people not wanting to think about it, and I know its something of an uncomfortable topic. I'm weirded out by the idea of people using my organs after I die. But I fully support organ donation, and will be an organ donor. It's personal for me- my mother is an organ recipient. Organ...

I'll give the Annoying Hearing People Stories thread a look as well to give people some ideas on things not to do. I'm sure there are loads that I wouldn't have thought of. Does anyone else have any other ideas of things I should discuss, or threads to look at for ideas? :ty:

I joined the Occupy protest here yesterday, and brought a bunch of extra pairs of gloves for people who were camping

:laugh2: You know, I wondered what had made pizza come to mind. *facepalm*

A) There's a great deal of scientific evidence showing that homosexuality is a natural trait that people are born with, and B) How can you deny what someone is telling you about their own experiences and feelings? If you said (excuse the flippant example) that your favorite food was pizza...
