Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Is there life after being cheated on: 5 of 19
Ther most certainly is! Being cheated on is horrible thing for any person, male or female, to go through. It causes you to doubt yourself and everything you ever thought about the institute of marriage. It puts you in a dark place for awhile, one that you're never sure you'll ever come back from. But you have to. Life goes on... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Exploring the lives of juggalos and juggalettes: 1 of 3
I agree wholeheartedly!Being a Juggalo or a juggalette is a feeling, a state of mind, and a lifestyle. These kids (and many grown ups too) have latched on to this way of life as a way of interacting with other people who enjoy the same things they do and have the same interests.

Relationships & Family > Family Life Commentary: Children are a blessing: 11 of 18
Amen to that! Children are the biggest blessing in life! They are inspiration, loyalty, unconditional love, and saviors all rolled up in one little body. Though they're small, they're much wiser than most people give them credit for. The complete trust they put into adults is awe inspiring. They're ability to forgive is amazi... More..

Teen pregnancy is a topic that is too often ignored, and is one that needs to be addressed. There are thousands of teen girls out there who are pregnant, scared, confused, and many of them have nowhere to turn. More often than not all they need is for someone to listen and have some compassion for the situations they find the... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?: 89 of 131
I absolutely believe they should. It's such a controversial subject, and I think many people are afraid to speak up and voice their opinions. Maybe afraid that if they do people will think they are gay too. Oh horrors! I am not, nor have I ever been gay. None of my children are gay. I have had gay friends in the past (most ha... More..
