ok this is going to be long?
OK. I’m a 14 year old girl who loves happiness, excitement and many other emotions that i know it’s part of everyone’s life. I love getting mad, and getting sad. I love the fact that i have friends and family. I love the fact that i have a great imagination. I love the fact that i love all types of music and the fact that i love having alone times and talking through my feelings about a special person. I love the fact that i can get excited over something so little. I love the fact that i am me. But all that fell apart on December 26, 2009. That was the time i woke up at 4 something in the morning to something that i thought was a horrible experience. Now you might think this is stupid but to me it was something that i had to get over quick. I woke up that morning and heard my heater turn on, instantly i thought there was a ghost in my home. I was so terrified but the terror didn’t get to me until later that day. After that all my emotions felt like they we’re gone and there was only one feeling left and lurkes in the pit of my stomach and through my body. This feeling is very hard to explain but it makes me want to cry and it gives me intense fear, that anywhere i look i feel like i’m seeing something. It makes me shake intensly i can’t sleep at night but i feel sleepy at day, i can’t eat i can’t use my laptop or listen to my ipod or even talk to my friends or family, i felt TERRIBLE.So 3 days later i told my mom and she said that she turned on the heater alittle earlier and it was just a fault. After she told me that i felt like 1 million pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I felt better about a day, then the feeling came back! But this time i prefered my house being hunted that me having the feeling because i can get away from a haunted house. I cried most of the time, anywhere my mom goes i must follow. I thought dying is the best way. A few weeks later it was a day before school and two days before that i felt happy again, but then the feeling kinda came back because i thought school! I thought what if i go to school and this horrid feelings come back, what would i do? Then a week of school past and i felt kinda ok again. And now it’s not as much as before. I can eat, sleep, watch TV, use my laptop, talk to my friends and laugh. But i still have some of left inside me but it’s not intense. It comes and go, but i sometimes barely feel it and i ignore it, but you can see that i’m suffering. Do you think it’s going away gradually and eventually it would disappear forever?

PS: I have a crush now, and going to school to see my friends and my crush makes me feel soo much better.

it sounds like it could be anxiety. I am paranoid about ghosts and such too. If it doesn’t get better I would see a doctor because they can help you sort through everything

Final Inquiry, The (2006) IMDB rating: 8.10 Plot: It is the year 35 of the Vulgar Era. The Emperor Tiberius is troubled by strange phenomena, an earthquake and the sky turning black as an eclipse. His astrologers give him fair warning: their omens indicate that the world is in the throes of a great upheaval and that old gods have been annihilated. A new kingdom is about to rise in the East. The Emperor calls Tito Valerio Tauro, the most prominent investigator in Rome, back from his exile. He was ostracized years earlier because he had discovered too much regarding the death of the great Emperor Augustus, the predecessor of Tiberius. Tiberius entrusts Tauro with a mission that will require all his talent: should he conduct it successfully, his good name will be completely restored. He must discover the truth regarding the death sentence of a poor Judean rabbi. His name is Jesus of Nasareth and they say he has resurrected from the dead. Tiberius is convinced that it has something to do with the prophecies and the celestial omens that shook the world some months earlier. Tauro is a septic and the only thing he believes in is reason, but a series of mysteries that will put his intelligence to the test awaits him in Judea. Nothing is as it seems in Jerusalem. Governor Pilate is an ambiguous man, both discredited and treacherous, who weaves his way among the opposing Pharisee and Zealot factions. During his inquiry, Tauro comes face-to-face with individuals he has never met before: Saul of Tarsus, a valiant defender of Mosaic tradition and an unshakable prosecutor of Christians; the mysterious and nearly insane Judas of Iscariot, who is presumably one of the disciples of Jesus of Nasareth; and the alleged leader of the Christians, a poor fisherman named Shimon Peter. They are humble and powerful men, belonging to one faction or the other, but who share one obsession: an idea of faith that the Roman eyes of Tauro seems to be simply incomprehensible and quite dangerous. He withstands this idea with all his might. He believes that Jesus is only a quack, some kind of impostor and his presumed resurrection must be a public hoax staged in order to exploit the credulousness of the poor lot, the first to be converted to the Christian sect, the followers of Jesus, nearly all of them belonging to the lowest social levels of society: fishermen, farmers, even slaves - all of them treated as free men. And the same holds true, more surprisingly yet, for women - equal to men in the eyes of the Christian God. One of these women who believe in Jesus will finally offer Tauro the key to understanding the mystery of Jesus of Nasareth’s death and conclude the mission that the Emperor has entrusted him with. Her name is Tabitha. She is not yet twenty years old and she will unveil the mystery of love to the cleverest and most disenchanted Roman investigator.

Interesting changes in military structure has already been duly noted today but the reality is that Rajapaksa still has not even loosened up on media restrictions, has not implemented the 17 th amendment, has not held any type of impartial or independent inquiry as to the killing of buddhist priest post elections, has not accounted for white van abductions pre and post elections, has not availed his persecution of opposition and has placed the person that was in charge of operstions at Vanni in those final days under Gothabaya Rajapaksa as potential prosecutor of Fonseka.

We are utterly tired of Indian PR and Publicity stunts in lieu of actions to curtail terrorist actions eminating from their shores. We are not interested in a secopnd rate Indian Railway system either. There is no rail link between Sri Lanka and Nepal and if one existed it would come through a modern and profecient service such as available at other neighbouring countries. I believe that the Obama administration will respond effectively to taday’s regional issue at China and India will again find itself in a position of explaining its endless series of plots and subplots against neighbouring nations.

Like Mother, Like Daughter (2007) IMDB rating: 4.70 Plot: When a successful business woman (Michelle Stafford)finds out her college-aged daughter (Dani Kind) has gone missing, she elicits help from her friend and daughter’s college professor (Billy Moses) unaware that she is seeking assistance from the very man who kidnapped her.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Actors: Babin Devin,Bramucci Rick,Huard Claude,Maclaren John,Moses William R.,O’Regan James,Slacke Mark,Drama,Mystery,

How can I tell my mother that I am sexually active?
I am nineteen years old and started having sex when I was 17 (Just about three months from turning 18). Normally I would keep this to myself but I feel that I should go to a gynochologist to test for STDs and to just generally make sure everything is O.K.. I have shown no signs or symptoms of an STD and I am having no problems or pains I just want to be safe and cover all my bases. However planned parenthood would not give me a pap smear because they said I was not old enough (wanted 21) and have not been sexually active long enough (wanted 3 years). The woman told me it was just against their policy which I fiound to be absurd.

So my problem is that I am still on my parent’s medical insurance. I moved out over a year ago but since I could not afford insurance (I work and am a full time student) I stayed on my parents plan. I need to tell my mother that I am sexually active so I can see a gynochologist for a routine examination. My mom and I have never had that "friend" bond. I love her very much but our relationship is strictly mother-daughter and I dont feel comfortable sharing things of this nature with her. I would never even tell her I found a guy attractive or anything.

I would appreciate any input in how I can tell her without wanting to die of embarassment.

---

If you go to college then they should be able to test for STDs at the clinic free of charge.
If not, then just go to any clinic and ask for a test.

You don’t have to tell your mother anything…just ask for all the insurance info so you can give it to the people at the clinic and if she asks just say you are getting a checkup or something.

the most important thing to do is talk to her when she is free and is relaxed. what you can do is talk to a counselor before so that he can suggest how to go about telling about your sex life to your parents. also read these links below they may help you to tackle this issue.

http://www.helium.com/items/1386748-pare nts-adjusting-to-realizing-your-teen-is- sexually-active

i will strongly recommend that you do it on a top priority basis, so that you can get your medical check ups done. also in the mean time avoid any sexual encounter so that you do not catch an infection.

best of luck.
gayatri | Feb 05, 2010

HPV is NOT the only thing that is tested from a pap smear! Regular pap smears every 2 years from when you become sexually active are medically advised. As I live in Australia I’m uncertain of whether your parents insurance company will notify them of your visit to the gynaecologist ? If they won’t, and I can’t see why they would (I would think that would constitute an invasion of privacy) then why would you even need to speak to your mom about it?

If you insist that you absolutely need to discuss it with her, then can I suggest if you get embarrassed by such things, the direct approach is best. Do it like a band aide, tell her quickly and get it over with. Just say something like, mom I want to see a gynaecologist for a general check up to make sure everything is ok down there, for my sexual health and health in general; so if you see something about that on the insurance, that’s what it’s all about.

That way you’ve told her without actually telling her. You’ve also been able to explain what is going on with the gynaecologist

I’ve included a link about the HVP to clear up misconceptions
Dr. TJ | Feb 05, 2010

It is perfectly normal for you to schedule a gynecological exam. Just because you are on your parents insurance the doctor can’t tell your parents about your medical records. Go and make the appointment and relax. While you are there, get fitted for an IUD which is foolproof birth control that you don’t need to remember to take
marriagecoach1 | Feb 05, 2010

---

well first with getting tested you can go under your parents insurence and the doctor cant say anything to your parents about what when on between you two. this happened to me when i had my miscarriage and under law they cant say anything even if you were under age…

but i will say the best thing to do is do a sit down with your mom and just tell her you want to get checked. she will most likly like that your being responsable in getting checked in the first place.
TAnn | Feb 05, 2010

You have two options here.
Option A. Be upfront and honest about it. Tell your mother that you need the insurance information so you can schedule an appointment with a gynecologist to get a pap smear. You should have had a pap smear before now and a trip to the gynecologist well before now, but since you haven’t, now is the time, so just tell your mother that you need to go and get checked out. Also, you should get on some form of birth control, but not an IUD. An IUD is a five year form of birth control, and it is inserted into your uterus. It’s also a painful procedure. The pill, patch or ring should be perfectly sufficient for a young woman your age. But, back on topic, as far as your mother is concerned, if you want to tell her, just say, ‘Mom, I’m 19. I am sexually active. I need to make an appointment with a doctor to make sure I’m staying healthy.’ Something along those lines.
Option B. Tell your mother that you are going to the doctor and need the insurance information but don’t tell her what you are going to the doctor for or skirt the question when she asks. This isn’t the best option, because in the end, you will be lying to her. Go with Option A. Just tell her. But if you aren’t comfortable with it, you can just say, ‘Mom, I need the insurance info so I can go to the doctor. I need to have a test done. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, just a check up.’
Unless your mother is incredibly uptight about sex, she should be okay with the fact that you are no longer a virgin. You’re not a young kid, you’re 19. You’re ahead of most girls your age. And frankly you should have had these tests done a long time ago. My doctor started doing them well before I had sex, as soon as I got my first period. But that just depends on your doctor I guess.
Just tell her, even if you aren’t close she shouldn’t freak out too much. It’s better that you tell her than she find out later.

Stir of Echoes (1999) IMDB rating: 7.10 Plot: Tom Witzky is a lineman for a utility company. He’s a typical working-class guy who lives in Chicago with his pregnant wife Maggie and his son Jake. Tom likes to hang out with his friends, who include Frank McCarthy and Harry Damon. One night at a party, Tom ends up in a discussion with Maggie’s sister Lisa, who believes in psychic communication and the power of hypnosis. Tom challenges Lisa to hypnotize him, and she plants in him a post-hypnotic suggestion to be more open-minded…with results that were never, ever expected. That night, he sees images of violence and the ghost of Samantha Kozac, a young woman who disappeared from the neighborhood some time ago, and is now believed to be dead. Jake also sees Samantha’s ghost, but while Jake is calm about it, Tom always seems angry that the images won’t stop coming. Jake’s baby-sitter Debbie Kozac is Samantha’s sister, who is still distraught because of Samantha’s disappearance. When Debbie discovers that Jake has been talking to Samantha’s ghost, Debbie becomes frantic, and she thinks Jake may know where Samantha is. Determined to figure out what’s going on, Tom begins a hunt for Samantha’s body, and it’s a hunt that threatens to kill Tom, Maggie, and Jake, because there is someone who does not want Samantha’s body to be found.

There’s this great suspense/mystery/thriller/horror one if you don’t mind a little gore. Its called "Mindhunters" that is not stupid but very interesting. I highly recommend it.

There’s always Silence of the Lambs if you haven’t seen it.

If you’re more on the quality of the story than the scare tactic, My favorite Producer of all time is Alfred Hitchcock. Perhaps "Vertigo" would be a good one

Stereotype of loud, black women?
I always thought the loud black woman with attitude was just a stupid stereotype. My mother is black (I’m biracial) and she is a mellow person. However, I’ve noticed that in my school the black girls tend to be the loudest and with the biggest attitude problems. Even my mother agrees that she notices this behaviour (not just in my school.) Of course girls from other races behave that way too, and there are a lot of laid back black girls as well. But it seems as if there are significantly more black females who are rude in this way. I also notice it in places where there are a lot of black women, such as hair salons. Black tv shows even promote this stereotype. My question is, why is this behaviour so common? Is it media influence? Is it not considered rude to be loud in the black community? I’m also asking this because I recently read a study by an online dating site, and apparently black women are the least likely to have their messages replied to compared to all other races (even when sending messages to other black men/lesbians!)

---

It continues because we don’t give a shyt about what other people think. Also, I know so many loud white people, and it’s very annoying.
girlontherun | Dec 04, 2009

---

stereotypes are there because a lot of people are that way so its a generalization. but it doesn’t mean all are that way.

i have met lots of respectable nice beautiful black women.

i think its a cultural thing in america for black women and men to be this way. alot of them feel pressured that they won’t be accepted by other blacks if they dont conform. i have seen it happen.

i notice that black women from africa have a very different culture and tend to be quiet and career oriented and family oriented as well.
star | Dec 04, 2009

---

The evidence of home training for social courtesy and respect is noticeable in the behavior of all races, and so is the lack of that training. I understand how you see that TV depicts black women as being rude and loud, but I have found in daily life that there are just as many quiet and dignified black ladies as there are not…it just depends on what your family teaches you…and how you wish to carry yourself.
