MomI know it wasn't easy,A mom raising four.The help you had was sparse,I'm sure you longed for more.You always worked so hard,to see our needs were met.If you ever did complain,I haven't heard it yet.Thank you for the childhood days,I cherish in my heart.Memories I hold near and dear,never will they part.I know you've been t...

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion
49 of 223

Since the Roe v. Wade decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 and the legalization of abortion, we have been "trained" to think that an unborn child is not a person, but only a fetus, until it is viable. Its life is nothing and it has no rights until it reaches that magic age of 24 weeks, then voila, it's a person. But unt... More..

Education > Special Education Attitudes towards special education kids

I was in special education. Let me repeat that since it's something I never admit out loud. I was in special education. That does not come easy.

We bought new summer wear, shorts, swimsuits and the like, and applied fake tans from a bottle, in preparation for our early summer vacation.

We automatically think we have done something to cause the people we love to treat us this way - we're not smart enough, or pretty enough, or good enough - these thoughts bombard us and we rarely realize the problem is in them, and not in us.
