Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues The importance of "coming out" and the difference it makes
3 of 53

The whole process known as "coming out" otherwise known as "coming out of the closet" is a phrase that plagues many young gay, lesbian, transgender, and transsexuals. The risk of coming out to your loved ones almost outweighs the benefits and many wait until they are out of their parents house or over the age of eighteen. Un... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Are homosexual acts natural or sinful?Smallicon
5 of 59

Homosexual acts are completely natural. Now let me ask you something: When did you decide to be straight or heterosexual. Did you wake up one morning and say "Hey I choose to be straight, I choose this life, This is the life I pick." No I didn't think so. Yet despite this gays and lesbians suffer through condemnation every d... More..

The African Brain Drain refers to the immigration of talented, educated, and the "brains" of Africa moving to different countries to pursue careers in other places than Africa. It is now being said that one third of professionals in Africa have left the continent to pursue and further their careers elsewhere. The causes of t... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Homeless shelters are not the answer to the homelessness issue
24 of 62

No. They absolutely are not. After some unfortunate circumstances my girlfriend and myself found ourselves homeless. Shelters are no help at all and they are not safe either. You are better off sleeping in an apartment building hallway or walking around all night than sleeping in a shelter. They only have a limited number of... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Society & Lifestyle (Other) The greatest comeback story
88 of 193

The air was cold that night, much colder than would be expected on an April night. We held each other close huddling under as many blankets as we could find. We always told ourselves that things would get better for us but the truth of the matter was: things could not get much worse. If you take a glance at our life it is so... More..

Pets & Animals > Animal Rescue & Adoption Do rescued animals make good pets?
70 of 105 Donatedbadge

Rescued animals are some of the most loving and loyal pets you could ever dream of. In return for you rescuing them and giving them a good home they dedicate their life to making you happy. They would do anything for you. We got our rescue, Sage, from Puerto Rico where she had a rough start. She was abused daily, so badly th... More..

Jobs & Careers > Office Politics Why bad employees don't get fired
9 of 10 Donatedbadge

Bad employees. Every job has them. The one person that no one can stand. The one coworker that slacks off to a ridiculous extent, makes more work for everyone else, and always comes in late. The most shocking part: how do they still have a job. Its frustrating for hard workers to see someone with such low contribution to kee... More..

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Childhood dreams
16 of 17

Times Are Hard For Dreamers This is a phrase that stuck with me throughout my childhood and my teenage years. Looking back I miss the youthful innocence that allowed us to believe that anything we wanted could be ours, that nothing was out of our reach, but most importantly that nothing could stand in our way, nothing could ...

9 of 9 Donatedbadge

It is common knowledge that wars are being fought across the world. But what may stun people is who exactly is fighting these wars. It is time for use to see the truth behind the lies and for us to take a good hard look at what poverty drives countries to do. What poverty forces innocent children into. Especially in South Am...
