I'm not convinced that guys like this really mistake young teens for older teens. I got crap like this at that age too, but funnily enough once I actually reached my late teens, guys like that mostly stopped taking an interest in me. They just like the idea of a young and naive but physically mature girl, and the…

The perpetrator is more evil, as without them it wouldn't happen at all. But the complicity of family members is a much deeper betrayal (and of course still evil).

I watched St Elmo's Fire for the first time recently. Not impressed with the way he got a pass on the stalking.

I found sleeping habits change as they go through different developmental stages anyway, so you get plenty of opportunities to change sleep habits later.

I was dismayed by the way my coworkers, who were all women, talked about her :(

Our broadcasting rules require a certain percentage of local content. It ends up being mostly chat shows, game shows and reality TV because it is cheap to produce.

It's this problem rearing its ugly head again. Just substitute being a boss for maths. http://xkcd.com/385/

I get jealous when I go into a shoe store and the men's side is full of comfy looking shoes, but on the women's side there are usually only a couple of pairs of flat comfy shoes amongst all of the heels.

If you want to ask people about their thoughts on books, perhaps you should join a reading club.

Yeah, that suggests that everyone else had already washed their hands of him.

The article doesn't really explain much about what happened. Did the puppies die because they were bred to be too small, or was it just a premature birth that only one puppy survived?

She did give the recording to the police. She might have kept it quiet under the belief that saying something would hamper police investigations.

It's almost certainly the point of choosing a venue like that.

It just needs to be anything you don't understand very well. I'm pretty sure I have been scammed by mechanics more than once. There are also plenty of legal scams, such as payday lenders that are very successful.

Also, every time people start trying to lump the blame and responsibility for everything on parents they are completely ignoring the needs of kids who don't have competent or caring parents/guardians.

Well, the final goal might be to use the same evidence to declare them unfit parents too, and have the child removed from them at birth.

What is that?!

Not really. They probably got some sort of slap on the wrist, but they are still on air. Actually after further reading, it appears they went off air for a few weeks, but then came back.

But you are teaching your children not to be arseholes, because you aren't one. I'm guessing the parents of those two children were arseholes raising their children to be arseholes.

People who can happily contemplate killing another person scare the shit out of me. You can never trust them to see you as a person unless you live up to their expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like that just disowned a family member who had an abortion, rather than changing their views.
