Well, he may understand it on an intellectual level, but his feelings may go against logic. Like you said, people like to pretend. And for someone who's in the closet, a big part of his life is already one big charade. I'm going to guess that when he's with you he likes to pretend what...

Lol@ the grades and GPAs that have been posted. Seriously, my parents would have beat the **** out of me. There were no tantrums for me at eleven.

Well, no use beating yourself up over something that's already done. Just get your sleep and prepare for the next one. Some general advice on grammar. Your first sentence contains a common mistake and is kind of awkward to read. An "age" technically cannot "constantly surf the web." It...

That just made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYm51Eh-D4 Nothing weird happened at my campus. Well, except when the FBI admitted to investigating certain student clubs. That was noteworthy. And the allegations that some of the cadavers in the medical lab might have be...

The things that you post on the Internet (when it's not strictly private and unviewable to a stranger) are considered "published" (this is why if you post an essay on a forum and later try to sell it to a publisher it is considered a reprint). So this individual essentially published her views...

I am not clicking on that link.

Well, I'm not knowledgeable in custody cases, and I think that most fathers should get parental rights as well as mothers, but even if that is an example of bias in favor of women, in how many other sectors of society do we see this bias? Society favors women in custody cases, and that's...
