Before we got married I told him I didn’t want to have kids with someone or spend the rest of my life with someone who smoked cigarettes. He told me he would quit. I explained to him that it doesn’t just "happen", and he needs to start trying and cutting back, but he insisted that the very day of our wedding would be the day he would quit. I begged him to take it slowly and start a few months earlier, because it would be hard. He had only smoked for 2 years and thought he wasn’t seriously addicted and could easily stop. Needless to say, he never tried to quit. On our wedding day, he swore on our marriage (in his vows, in front of everyone) to quit smoking for his health, for my health, and for the future of our children. After all this had been said and done, I consented to him smoking 1 cigar a week for a while, before cutting back to only 2 a month and so on. I knew he couldn’t just STOP and I really wanted to help him. I also got him a pipe and some tobacco for special occasions. The main thing was he needed to stop smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I let him know this from the get-go, and he agreed.

Fast forward a few months. I catch him outside smoking with his friends at a Halloween party. I was furious and I was so hurt. He said he was sorry and that he was very ashamed of himself and that I had every right to be hurt because of this. I reminded him that I never argued with him about his alcohol consumption. I don’t argue with him about texting/calling his old girl friends. I even gave him the idea of taking his little brother to a strip club in a few months when he turns 18! The only thing I’ve ever had a problem with was his smoking.

A few months ago I started finding lighters all over the house. They’d be on the back of the couch, in the washing machine/dryer, in his pants pockets, in his coat pockets…. everywhere. He had also stopped buying his pipe tobacco and cigars. I immediately became suspicious and questioned him about it – he denied it and even made me smell his fingers so he could prove he wasn’t smoking. I let it go and felt ashamed that I had bothered him about it, but the signs kept coming up. We were lying in bed one night and I asked him, and I made him swear to tell me the truth. He looked me straight in the eyes and told me he wasn’t smoking and that I needed to stop accusing him of it.

Last night, I walked outside to ask him to fix our smoke detector, and he flicked something very quickly out of his hand. I knew exactly what it was. I immediately started crying and he got very angry with me, telling me that his secret smoking habit was the equivalent of me keeping a diary. He said he wants to hide this from me so it is "his" thing. He said he doesn’t want to tell me "everything" because I’m never honest with him (when it comes to my diary). I thought this was a stupid point to bring up and told him, nearly choking on tears and snot and spit, that I was in more pain because he was lying to my face and smoking behind my back.

He won’t give it up, and he thinks that since I "really know" about it now, he can continue to do it.

Please help me. This has been such an emotional day for me. What would you do if you’re husband had done this to you?

im fourteen, turning fifteen this year, and my parents still treat me like im five years old. they wont let me walk down town with my friends. they wont let me walk to the skate park to hang out with friends. they wont let me sleep over at a friend’s house, and they wont let any of my friends sleep over at my house. i dont get to go to my friend’s houses, ever. the only place they basically let me go is to youth groups. they will only let my boyfriend and i see eachother three days per week. as in we hang out on monday, then sometime during that week, and we cant hang out again til monday. and we only hang out for like 2-3 hours. they wont allow me to go to his house, we’ve been dating for 10 months and i’ve only been there once, and i had to sneak over there. she wouldnt even let me go, when his mom personally came to our house to ask if i could go over for diner. it’s ridiculous! they wont let me wear short-shorts in public. they wont allow me to go down town every saturday to this thing called ‘club heat’. where you have to be fourteen, there is no alcohol there, all my friends would be there, when you get there they do a medal detector on you so you wont have any weapons, it’s completely safe! i never get outta the house. and they always complain about how im always bored. well it’s their fault, i dont get why they are so da(m)n strict):

 

So far I have only traveled in the border-less schengen zone and even when going into UK with a train, they only scanned the luggage, I got patted because the metal detector went off (it was the coins, I believe) and that was it. Now I’ve been reading about the customs and I didn’t even realize that for some countries perfumes have to be declared. Why? The alcohol content isn’t that high in perfumes. The thing is I’m a perfume enthusiast and I have 6 Guerlain bottles, 30ml (1oz) each and for example, for South Korea the limit is 2oz for personal use.

What do they do if you have more than the limit? What happens when you declare anyway? They register the items? And what about the laptop? It’s really all for personal purposes, however I am moving to Cambodia and so I will leave some of the items there, go back, end the renting contract, etc, and go on with life in Cambodia.

 

So this morning, I was driving back to college from my fall break. I was on the interstate and going 10 over. I saw an undercover cop and he started slowing down so I started slowing down so I wouldn’t pass him. When he got slowed to the point that I was forced to ease past him, he put his lights on and pulled me over. When he pulled me over my buddy and I were both in the front seat. I am pretty sure that he pulled me because I am driving a 2006 BMW 325i with 19 inch chrome rims and darked out windows so I personally think he just pulled me stereotyping me. The reason I say this is because I have a brand new top of the line radar detector that never even went off which has never failed me before. When he walked up I was very nice and said nothing but yes sir and no sir to his every question. He asked me to get out of my car and walk back towards his cop car. Back there, he asked me a series of questions about age and the basics, eventually leading up to if I had alcohol, weapons, or illegal drugs in my car. I responded no sir. He asked again. Again, I said, no sir. He then asked if I had any objections to him searching my car. I knew he had no right nor reason to do so, so I responded, sir, I do not see a need for you to search my vehicle. Then he pushed the subject and asked if I was refusing to let him search my car. I said, no sir, I am not refusing, I just see no need that my vehicle needs to be searched. He asked again and I told him if he felt the need to search my vehicle then he could proceed. He searched through EVERYTHING and found NOTHING. How can he do this? This has to be stereotyping. What should I have said to avoid him searching my car and not waste an extra 30 minutes for him to search it?

Forget about paying 8 bucks a beer, i’m bringing liquor, but a flask would set off the metal detector. How would you do it?

 

If there are areas in America where whites are afraid to go, is that freedom?

Or if a black man drives through a white neighborhood and gets pulled over because of his skin, is that freedom?

If freedom means that a burglar, who enters my house and hurts himself inside ,can sue me, the owner of the property, I don’t want it.

Or if I have a party and a guest gets drunk and has an accident on his way home, and he sues me for having provided the alcohol–not really the kind of freedom I think the founders of the USA had in mind.

Rich people all over the US are barricading themselves in gated communities, and children pass through metal detectors at school and are having their bags searched before they enter.

Is this really and example of freedom?

 

–>If I were Leader of the Free World the first issue I would address would be safety in schools. I would focus a lot on weapon possession and bullying. These are some of the most important problems in the United States, but there are many ways to prevent these conflicts. Children are our future, and exposure to violence could mold them into the wrong type of individuals to represent our country.
–>Bullying is a major issue in our schools. Children miss school just to avoid being tormented by a bully. Almost seven percent of eighth graders miss school once a month because of this. About half of the students who physically harm another sent a threat previously to the same student. The bullies are victims, too, because they are also harming themselves. They are more likely to smoke, abuse drugs, drink alcohol, and physically get into fights. Most violent outbreaks occur during “transition times” such as between classes, before and after school, and at lunch in the cafeteria. Peer pressure is a factor in violence and bullying.
–>Weapon possession is also a huge issue in our schools. Weapon possession leads to huge tragedies like school shootings and murders. In a CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) 2007 survey, 5.9% of high school students reported having a weapon at school in 30 days. According to the United States Secret Service and United States Education Department, many teenage shooters felt depressed, excluded, and bullied. Their plans were premeditated, and they often tell others of these plans. They simply wanted attention, but were neglected of it and so they got negative attention by killing innocent people. One of the most notorious shootings was the Columbine High School Massacre. Two seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killed 12 students, one teacher, and they both committed suicide. Around 25 students were injured. If I were Leader of the Free World, I would do all I could to prevent another tragedy of this nature. It could have been prevented, too.
–>Students with weapons at school, bullying, and violence; it’s horrible. It can all be prevented to an extent. Metal detectors at school entries are respectful to students’ privacy and could detect weapons. More teacher involvement with students who need attention, or are displaying abnormal behavior, would help, also. Search dogs could find harmful substances in lockers. If everyone has a bus to ride home, there can’t be any violence on a walk home or to school. There can be programs, activities, and assemblies about bullying, violence, and accepting others.
–>This is why I would focus on school safety if I were Leader of the Free World. Children’s welfare is one of the most important things. They are our future. I can summarize with this quotation by Jodi Rell. “At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety, and security.”

It’s an essay for social studies. I’m only in 8th grade, and I’ve only ever done one other essay. I’ve never been taught formally on how to draft an essay. Is it OK to just hit "Tab" when you’re indenting? That’s what I did on MS Word but the indents looked pretty big on there. For some reason it wouldn’t let me indent on here, so the arrows represent indents.
I replaced "a lot" with "first".
And actually, when I was looking up the facts I rephrased it and put "premeditated" and "violent outbreaks", on the first one it just said their plans were planned months before it happened, I put premeditated in there because I was trying to finish my notes faster. And on the second one it said "Most school-associated violent deaths occur during transition times – before and after the school day and during lunch."(Which I suppose I could’ve changed a bit more)
And the bullying paragraph is now opened with:
Bullying is a major issue in our schools. Children miss school just to avoid being tormented by a bully. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, almost seven percent of eighth graders miss school once a month because of this.
But, there were about four different sources on the website that I got the facts from. They are all lengthy organizations. Do I include them all or can I just put one?
Also, I changed this:

Isn’t it going against the rights of the students by telling them they cant wear hats or bandannas? people on the streets get to wear them, if they were a danger of any sort like the schools claim, the government would make them illegal which in and of itself would be illegal to declare so.

Please help me

my oposition reason: it can only get worse. if we accept this, the next thing they will be shovin at us is school uniforms, random drug tests, metal detectors at the front doors, frequent locker searches, telling students they cant bring lunches or drinks from home because they could contain weapons, drugs, or alcohol. If you let them get away with something small, it can only progress.

It started on New Year’s Eve when I had a terrible migraine. (And no, alcohol was not involved.) I ended up going to bed that night at 9:00 because the room was spinning and I was very nauseous. I had a hard time sleeping because anytime I moved I thought I was going to be sick. And then in the middle of the night, I had (sorry if this is too much info) bad diarrhea. But what was most strange, my mother suffered the EXACT symptoms that night – she in her bedroom, me in mine. So initially I thought carbon monoxide. But that can’t be; we have carbon monoxide detectors in every room, including the basement. And we felt fine all day.

I was fine for a few days until last night, when the SAME thing happened to me. I had migraines, dizziness, (diarrhea), nausea, and the chills. But my mother was fine. But tonight, my mother now has it again but I don’t.

Now, we’re both fine during the day. What’s up??? Now I read that the symptoms are signs of pregnancy. Impossible: my mother’s almost 50 and I’m a 21 year-old male.

I was just wondering if anyone has any idea what the cause could be. Thanks!

 

Many kids today cannot be trusted their always finding a way to become part of the “In Crowd.” Many times, this could mean students start to take on drugs, drink alcohol, or even commit a crime. To make America a better nation locker searches should adhere throughout our public schools, because the crime and drug use will compress even more in schools.
Locker searches are one of the surveillances we need in schools. It will control the use of drugs and the end to violence in schools. Every school day at least 100,000 students bring guns to school, and 40 students are hurt or killed by firearms. If locker searches are conducted students will think twice before bringing something illegal to school. School officials feel the same way and they think it can be helpful. They point out to schools in Eugene, Oregon, and San Diego, California where the student lockers have been removed to prevent their misuse.
Locker searches should continue in schools. The best thing to do would be to announce students that there are going to be locker searches in the future and they have to go through it. Other safety techniques would include metal detectors, drug sniffing dogs, security guards, whatever we need to insure safety. Everybody should be told that the reason for the search is not punishment, but it’s to motivate students to keep everybody safe and obeying the school rules. That their here to promote good, not bad.
Every Student thinks that searching lockers is an invasion of privacy like it says in the 4th amendment. A duty was placed on schools to provide a safe learning environment, and that’s more important than the civil rights of students. It’s obvious that if a student is faced with a locker search they will just find another hiding pace, but it doesn’t mean they should take total control over the most obvious place in school. Without the skill to inspect lockers students will feel safe and know they could hide illegal items without fear. Students know that illegal items aren’t supposed to be in schools. Since it was so hard for students to follow the rules, schools had no choice but to insure safety. Even if there is a privacy problem students gave up that right and in return schools got a wider help of safety.
As I said before to make America a better nation we need to have locker searches. Schools will then be a safe learning environment for students where there is no need to hide anything, because it’s all part of being in a school community where you have to accept these rules and responsibilities.
