    What do you call it when all you feel is pain?

    When your loved ones look at you and all you feel is shame?

    When your tired of living and playing this game?

    when you know your life is meaningless and your the only one to blame?

    What do you call it when the hurt is in your soul?

    When you smile and laugh but you know its all a show?

    When you feel like you’ve hit your all time low?

    When nothing makes you happy and the darkness around you grows?

    What do you call it when you feel so alone?

    When your in your house but it don’t feel like home?

    When you look back in your life and every choice you made now seems wrong?

    When the wait to die seems too long.

    lace is a material just like any other. girls and boys shouldnt refrain from wearing the same material as the other sex. that is very extremist and rather disturbing.

    i think nothing other than family situations should be told. and not like, her parents really dont get along, i mean like mom dead or parents divorced or sibling in prison kind of thing.

    one of the shadchanim mentioned he is always impressed if people ask him about their prospective dates family cuz it shows they know what is important. i find that highly offensive- why should i be judged by my family? my parents are so anti- religous, they refuse to get themselves a filter for the internet cuz the rabbanim recomend it. but that doesnt mean i am bad! on the contarary, hashem thinks im strong enuf to withstand the nisayon of open internet- that makes me better than alot of you. i was very bothered by his comment. it made me anxious about getting married.

    Prosecutors said Wendy Runge, 46, increased the budget of the film “The Scientist” by $3.5 million to cash in on tax credits offered by the state of Iowa. Runge had pleaded guilty to first-degree fraudulent practice concerning the film projects “Run” and “Forever.” As part of the plea deal, Runge admitted that she made false statements to the state in her effort to obtain Iowa film tax credits.

    I dont know i she is guilty of doing a crime. and really, to tell you the truth, i dont care. what i care about is her 4 little children sitting at home without a mommy to kiss them goodnight. her children are innocent little neshamos and id hate to see the hurt because of their moms crimes. i know she should really face the consequences of her actions, so look at it this way: if she is guilty she will be punished in the world to come, and her kids wont be affected by it. if shes innocent and was framed into this then BH she is out! either way, its all from Hashem.

    omg, i love josh grobans music. hes helped me through so many hard times. i especially feel connected with his song to where you are. i think everyone that lost a loved one should listen to it… after my brother passed away two years ago, i didnt think life could go on. my friend introduced me to that song and slowly, i began to heal. somehow, jewish music just didnt do that for me- some nj songs are really ok to listen to. as long as its not about a broken heart or whatevs, nj music is usually better than jewish music. thank you josh. you gave me hope when i thought there wasnt any…

    The scientific definition to the word addiction is the repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences. if you could, as in, its possible for you tostop your behavior for a few days then its nothing more than lacking self control. but if it is unthinkable for you to be able to stop your behavior- find yourself a licensed therapist.

    The deepest wounds feel like they’ll last a lifetime: The absent mother who robbed you of the mother-daughter bond you craved and deserved. The eighth-grade bully who turned the classroom into a living nightmare.

    You feel bitter. You still hold a grudge. But clinging to those betrayals and disappointments, that hurt, is bad for the body and mind.It’s inevitable that we’ll all be hurt by others, and that it will happen often. People have accidents, make mistakes, behave selfishly, and even intentionally try to hurt one another. We can’t escape it. Forgiveness is a vulnerable act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain. But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences.

    Indeed, experts say that forgiving those who have wronged us helps lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate. One study found that forgiveness is associated with improved sleep quality, which has a strong effect on health. And Duke University researchers report a strong correlation between forgiveness and strengthened immunity among HIV-positive patients. The benefits aren’t just limited to the physical, either: Letting go of old grudges reduces levels of depression, anxiety, and anger. People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being.

    so even though its hard, open your mind to the possibility of forgiveness and see where it takes you.

    very true. i thought things over and realized that one cannot prevent his child from doing some things. in todays world, someone can do the worst things possible without their parents knowing about it. whats most important is establishing that the parent will always love their child, no matter what he does. and ensuring that the child knows it alright to make mistakes, in fact, its healthy to do so. parents really have to work on unconditional love.

    it depends on your emunas chachomim, i guess. i doubt you have to do teshuvah for missing an election, but unless you have a valid reason for voting for someone else, why not vote and get a mitzvah at the same time?

    interesting theory, but i think the only way anyone will get married is if God wants them to, so there isreally no point in discussing “the shidduch crisis”. all it accomplishes is getting all single people out there even more stressed out than they are.

    unfortunately, there is no way to prevent someone from having feelings of dissatisaction with judaism. the only thing a teacher/ rebbi can do is provide the resources for the child to get better. generally, what is causing the child to feel this way is a major trauma so if the kid has someone he knows wont judge him, someone that cares and wont make him feel dumb, he/ she will seek out the help and hopefully, with Hashems help, get back on track. im not male(BH!!!) but i really dont know how they survive yeshivah. i mean, my brother has learning disabilities- is he really supposed to sit and learn 24/7?! if he comes out of that with his self esteem intact, id be shocked. why dont yeshivos get that not all boys can sit and learn all the time? i understand that theres got to be some boys learning, but many are really not capable of doing that. if boys were created for the sole purpose of learning- why would there be so many guys with learning disabilities, adhd, whatever? Hashem wouldve created them capable of learning!

    One large study found that people who drank artificially sweetened soda were more likely to experience weight gain than those who drank non-diet soda. Others found those who drank diet soda had twice the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, often a precursor to cardiovascular disease, than those who abstained. in other words, regular soda is better for you than the diet version.

    when they saw something was bothering me, theyd ask if i was ok. and they wouldnt be like- you dont have to say anything if you dont want to, but how is your life? is your fmily doing ok? when they say that, first of all, they are forcing me to spill my life story, second, they give the impression that they dont want to hear what youre going through, they just want your parents to tip them well.
