That's what Adam Lanza's mom said before he made her guns affect A LOT of other people.

Your story sounds similar to my mom's; whether you wanted to or not, the bottom line is you left your kids. You chose yourself. It's fine you did that because you get to make choices about your own life and what is best for you, but I wouldn't expect your children to get over it any time soon.

Arguably, getting an abortion is also a life-saving treatment for a 17-year-old. Worldwide, the number one cause of death for women 15-24 is childbirth.

Do you also have the lowest number of people, with a great deal of the population spread out over rural or exurban areas?

Honestly if she's college-aged there is absolutely no reason to coddle her about the importance of getting an STI screen. I'm college-aged and I can't even believe you're that worried about it. Just say she might need to go get de-skanked really quick and it's not a big deal. Because it really isn't and all people who…

Honestly, reading this story is the first time I have ever considered taking my right wing dad up on his offer to buy me a gun and teach me to use it.

I have this problem - I use cocoa powder!

As someone who grew up in Ohio and spent the last decade in Arizona, I'd say it's damn close.

I had that problem this summer and my guess would be that you are missing something. I cleaned everything, threw away all the food in my fridge AND freezer, threw away an old granola wrapper from two years ago in an unused overnight bag, etc. and I set traps and that didn't get rid of them. It turns out a grape had…

Oh my god! What did you do???

It probably wouldn't be as big of a deal as you think it would. Easily 40% of the guys I've slept with are uncut and I'm white and American. It's never even been something I've thought about.

The only thing that cured my adult onset acne (and that includes the hard stuff- Accutane failed) was cutting all milk proteins out of my diet. No more dairy makes me really sad but the cystic acne was seriously ruining my life so whatever.

We're judging her lameo tattoo artist; that shit is low rent.

This happened to me!! I am 25 now, and until I was 23 I had perfect skin. At 23 I started getting HORRIBLE incurable cystic acne all over my face, back and chest. It was seriously disgusting and nothing (including accutane) fixed it. What finally worked was cutting dairy out of my diet completely. So like m&ms? No,…

I obviously can't read his mind or anything, but I think you are reading too much into it. Like I was just thinking about what I would do if I said "X syndrome is very rare" in a casual, chatty type discussion and someone said "I have X syndrome" and I realized I have no idea what I would say. Like, do I turn it…

But what about his tattoo!?!? IT CAN'T BE COVERED UP!

Whenever I see this story, all I can think of is what must be the extreme degree of regret Nick Cannon feels about his back tattoo.

Love stinks :(

I don't know if you have kids or not, but if not, just leave. Cut ties completely, get a lawyer to deal with your divorce as much as possible, and just don't subject yourself to this. I think you should put the friend on ice too for now and just deal with yourself, but whether or not you do that just get away from…

This is my life right now and like you I can't follow my own good advice, but your friends are wrong. Tell this asshole to kick rocks and block his number. Find someone worth your fretting.
