Where you stand on:

1) Abortion.
2) Teen sex.
3) Teen pregnancy.
4) Gay marriage.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
6) Suicide.
7) Self-harm.
9) Love.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
11) Religion.

Most of the questions can be answered by what you think about them or how you think they should be solved.


My name is Sara. You can call me Anarchy if you want to though.

1)Abortion:

I have some messed up friends, I am 13, and they have sex.

Well, last year my friend got pregenant. She got an abortion. I have different stands on Abortion.

If you are underage, I think you shouldn't be having sex. But that is later. So if you get pregenant you should be able to get an Abortion.

2)Teen Sex.

If you are ready, then you are ready.

I mean, you should use protection. And that is my stand on that. I don't want to rant too much.

3)Teen Pregnancy.

My mom got pregenant at the age of 16. She wasn't ready. Now she is sad because she had to quit school to take care of my older sister.

Then she missed her prom, her brother's death and funeral...

I don't think if you are underage you should be getting pregnant. Even if it is your religon or whatever.

4)Gay Marrage.

I'm for it. I have gay friends and Lesbian friends. They are older than meh. And they want to get married in Maine. Which they can't. So that means they have to either leave the state to get married or they have to leave the country. I don't think that is fair.

5) Sexual Preferences.

Kids shouldn't be deciding they are Gay, Lesiban or Bi in like 3rd grade...

You have to experiment...You can't just say that you are Bi all of a sudden.

6) Suicide.

If you are ready to die, and you really want to. If you fail, you go to jail.

I am suicidal. I think that I have a few thing to live for. Not just 'I just failed a math test, *shoots self in head*'

Those are dumb reasons to commit suicide. 'I have cancer of the brain, I have 3 weeks to live, Whatever *dies*'

Isn't a good reason.

There are no good reasons to kill yourself...

7) Self Harm.

I used to cut. It left too many scars.

I burn myself...'I burns soo good.'

I use that as a 'joke' when I do that. People think I am just kidding.

But anyways, I think self harm isn't a 'fad' I think it is an expression of feelings. But that is just meh.

8.) (There is no eight.)

9) Love.

Love is beautiful until it is lost.

Then you don't have anything. Just taunting. Constant taunting.

10) Drugs and Alcohol.

This dude brought a bottle of Vodka to school and he got caught. If you drink and are underage, keep it at home. Don't take it public.

There is a drug dealer by the place where I wait for the bus in the morning. If they are perscribed and you need them. They are okay.

11) Religion.

Religion is okay. There are too many lately though. They aren't worth even trying some of them. I think that I have no religon, but my friends have religion. Thats cool, but when they try to pull me into unknown religons, that is where I draw the line...

Those are my views on these subjects.

But you skipped 8...

I don't really care 'bout that.

But you skipped 8...

I don't really care 'bout that.

This is actually one of the most important parts of the introduction to me. I'm fairly certain almost everyone notices there is no eight, but how many people are foward enough to say something?

Welcome to the guild, Sara. I hope you grow to like it here.

1) Abortion. I personaly don't really mind the abortion subject. Yeah its killing a human being but something things happen unexpectingly and you can't seem to help them. Abortion I would leave up to the parents of the child. Though if they didn't want the kid they should ahve made more procaustions to their sex life or just not have sex at all...
2) Teen sex. This again I don't really care. Me being 16 I have yet to have sex but that is my own choice. I havn't found anyone that I feel like giving myself to. Though I have friends who have been dating for a while and choose to have sex..but they love each other and plan on spending their life together. Teen sex is a choice to the ones doing it. Though rape is a different story..
3) Teen pregnancy. against. But if the teen wants the child she can most likely give birth to it. Again one of my friends was about to be pregnant. I supported her with it and turns out she wasn't. I have had thoughts of children already but I would be better off just babysitting till I'm ready..>_<
4) Gay marriage. So for. I'm not lesbian but if you love the one that your with marry them I don't really see what the problem is. Yeah if your heavily religious and are against it. Then just stay out of peoples buisness and worry about yourselves...
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference). Wouldn't...really know anything about this subject..again everyone is given their own likings..
6) Suicide. Im against suicide. Even though I have tried myself. Though when I hear people make fun of suicide I just want to ring their necks out. My mothers boyfriend hung himself a few years back. He was like a father to me...and I still get hurt by seeing stuff or hearing anything about hanging...Like around halloween I can't really go outside because of the decorations. The erk me. But people have their reasons as to why they commit suicide..It just hurts the ones they love. Sure I've tried..but after doing so I snaped back to level headedness and found out how stupid I was...I took pills..though after taking them I started to panik..and passed out. I took 10 tylenol pm..4 stolen Oxyconden and some other pills..and I still lived....and Im somewhat thankfull for it..though I still have my thoughts of doing it again........
7) Self-harm. For/against. I cut myself...just not as much as I used to...But its a way of handling things better. Though I hear people complain about it around me. But they can't critisize what they don't understand. I've tried stoping and Im getting better. But Im also very offended by those who constintly ridicule those who do what they do...when they just don't know what their talking about..
9) Love. A very complexed subject and I don't really understand it. The only love that I have is for my friends. Relationship wise I just plane suck. I constintly have doubt and just don't see whats infront of me. But I do believe that its out there..
10) Drugs and Alcohol. drugs..again you can do it..but I wont. I've been tempted to try it but I just see people around me who have turned into mush and acomplished nothing..I can't do it..
11) Religion. this has got to be one of my favorite subjects..though I absolutly hate all religions. No offence..but for the views of religion I'm against. I grew up on a christian based family. But I have also resently been kicked out of my dads house because I refused to throw away all my things because they didn't worship god. And god has never really been there for me no matter how much I prayed. I also dont like the fact that religions try to turn people..Its just another thing to fight against and none of it can be proved fully real...

Thanx for reading...

Hey, I'm Kalemei (Kal or Kale) and I'm 18.
I live in the UK and like candelit dinners, walks in the park and punk, rock, metal and cheesy pop.

1) Abortion - I'm pro-choice
2) Teen sex - Sex is for when you're ready; when you're emotionally and intellectually mature enough to be able to deal with any consequences that come from having sex. I believe that this usually comes at around 16-18.
3) Teen pregnancy - Sex Education needs to get a hell of a lot better; especially in this country but, I do believe that just because you're a teenager, doesn't mean that you're going to be a bad, irresponsible, parent.
4) Gay marriage - All for it.
5) Sexual preference - Each to their own. A very 'post-modernist' view, I know, but that's just how I feel about it. I see no problem with any sexual preference; you like who you like.
6) Suicide - Not good, but I see why people do it. People need to listen to each other more, and show each other more respect...then hopfully things like this could be avoided more.
7) Self-harm - A shame. Too many people whine about people doing it for attention, rather than trying to find out why they're crying out for attention. A horrible, harmful addiction.
9) Love - people do stupid things when they're in love, but aside from that, this is not really one of my major fields of expertise, having never been in love.
10) Drugs and Alcohol -Fine in moderation but, when it comes to drugs, marijuana only; everything else (of the illegal kind) is far too risky. It's kinda like sex; you gotta know what you're getting yourself in for, and be prepared to deal with any consequences if it all goes pear-shaped.
11) Religion - Faith is a good thing to have; everyone needs to be in touch with their own spirituality...but I don't like it when it causes people to hate; homosexuals, different cultures, different religions, different lifestyles. Religion shouldn't be about hate.

7)Self harm- Again ive been there and ist not a nice place to be im better at the moment and it feels like the only way out is pain.
9)Love- Ask me at the begging of the week and id say it could happen but at the moment i know it cant for me but other people it can happen.
10)Drugs and Alcohol-I dont drink or do drugs but this country has a peopblem with both that needs education.
11)Religion-This is a triky one but i think there has to be smthing its just that there are so many faiths at the moment they need to be sorted out and people to get along with each other.

Name's Monroe, I've been lurking in LI for about three years now. Some people may actually remember me, I don't know. I live in Richmond, VA and currently do not work.

Disclaimer: I have strong opinions on some things. If you don't like them, don't read. This is how *I* feel.

1) Abortion.
I am Pro-Choice, the exact opposite of my family. I believe women need to be able to have the freedom to chose. Sure it is taking a human life, but think about it this way. Sometimes the baby would be born into a family that wouldn't be able to support it. Sometimes the mother or child could be injured in childbirth.

2) Teen sex.
If you're too young to support a child, you shouldn't be having sex. That's just how I feel. However, if you insist on doing it, use protection damnit.

3) Teen pregnancy.
Soleq
Usually the result of teenage logic ("I swear I saw on MTV that douching works"). In most cases, first trimester abortion solves the obvious problem. Actually, just look at your parents and ask yourself "Did my mom birth me before the age of 20, and if so, do I want to be just like her when I grow up?"
I'll just have to agree with that.

4) Gay marriage.
Soleq
Officially in support. People who claim marriage is only between a man and a woman usually have an IQ somewhere between 70 and 75, which is unfortunate, because it means I can't officially call them retarded. Close, but no cigar.
*laughs* That's too priceless to cut.

I support it. I have a bucnh of friends who are bi, gay or lesbians. I support it, and them.

5) Sexual preference.
You can't choose who you fall in love with.

4) Suicide.
It's the coward's way out. If you're strong, you'll stay and fight through it. I shpuld know, I've tried to get out before. You're much better off alive and kicking.

5) Self-harm.
I'm against it, by my stand is kind of complex...

6) Love.
Maybe it exists, maybe not.

7) Drugs and Alcohol.
Drugs are pretty easy to find where I live, but I'm not into that shtit. I have neough problems without the added mindjob, kthnxbai.

9) Religion.
I'm agnostic, but I attend church. I can see why some belive, and I can argue both sides. I'm pretty apethetic about religion.

@ Butterballs: I actually read all of that. rofl I have a history or having to agree with you on multiple things, if I remember right...

name jason-gaia name remirez08 AKA "remi"
age-18
hobbys-palyn online games, gaia, drawing, music, redaing
1) Abortion: i feel the girl has the right. it is there bodey. no one elses.
2) Teen sex: i have never hade sex. and im 18. i have only one girl freind. and once more im 18. teen sex in my eyes should only hapen between 17 and 18 year olds. and hopfulley the use protection.
3) Teen pregnancy: if it happens it happens. hopfully the parents agree and are good folkes. and the father or mother of the child are kind and generuse. then somthing like this will not be a mistacke.
4) Gay marriage: its all gravy with me. its are fredom. are free choice.
5) Sexual preference: if your gayGOOD FOR YOU!!! ill be your pal and all hust dont hit on me.lol.
6) Suicide: i should know about this one. after my father died i almost killed my self three times. each time i almosd pulled, slite, of jumped. but each time musc saved me, as well as my art. no one should atempt it. they should seek help or find somthing to give life meaning.
7) Self-harm: once more somthing im all to fumilier with. harming ones slelf gets you no where and fast. all it dose is leav ugly scars and bad memerys
cool Love: i havent had it and im lookin for it. its probbley what keeps me goin these days. i look but its not there but it is out there.
9) Drugs and Alcohol: drugs... well all i can say is dont do the s**t that will kill you(and dont say they all will. in morderation a few wont and never will. that also means perscribed ones) i do weed. about once a mounth. but it helps. i smoke. 3 cigs a day. alchole. i refuse it. my father is dead becuse of it and what it did to his bodey. i advise all of you under the age of 21 not to drink. and whene your 21 use in MODERATION!!!!
10) Religion: a touchey subject. i bealive in an nuther palin of existence. where when you die you help your loved ones for a time then move on. i know this to be true. my father who died 12-12-2001 is still helping me and i can fell him at times. i can fell his touch on my arm or back. but its geting weaker now so he will soon be done and move on.

Where you stand on:

1) Abortion.
2) Teen sex.
3) Teen pregnancy.
4) Gay marriage.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
6) Suicide.
7) Self-harm.
9) Love.
10) Drugs and Alcohol.
11) Religion.

Most of the questions can be answered by what you think about them or how you think they should be solved.


Hello everyone, I'm new. >.>

1. I don't think it's right to force teenage girls to accept a commitment that is going to basically ruin the life of the baby, as well as their own life.

2. If you're ready to accept the consequences, it's up to you. But for god's sake, use protection.

3. Abortion.

4. That's up to them, not to right-wing politicians.

5. Same as 4.

6. It's not a beautiful thing, but sometimes it's the only way out.

7. I haven't tried it... yet. So no comment.

8. There is no 8.

9. Love is great up until the moment you lose it. Then you wonder why you even tried.

10. Eh, sex is better.

11. Religion is fine. Those who love to spread the blessings of their particular religion are okay with me. Those people that tell me I'm going to hell if I don't believe in god should run off a cliff.
PostPosted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 5:20 am




So it appears I don't have an introduction here...

Not one I was capable of finding, at least...

So here we go then ._.;;

- Abortion.
Knock yourself out. If you don't want your child, pay the fee and go get it ripped out of you. ((Yes, I could have stated that more crudly, if you're wondering))
- Teen sex.
Of course I approve of Teen Sex... I fully intend to have sex myself at some point before I hit the age of 20.
- Teen pregnancy.
It's either bad luck or horribly irresponsible. If you're having sex, at least strap on a condom and down some birth control pills. Get a double wall of defence going. If you still get pregnant... Eh, bad luck, sucks for you, go abort.
- Gay marriage.
All for it.
- Sexual preference.
Bisexuality : Becoming Fad-ish... But everyone can see that... No offence to those who really are bisexual.
Homosexuality, nothing wrong with it.
Heterosexuality... You know... I actually get surprised when I meet people who claim to be straight nowadays.
- Suicide.
Coward.
- Self-harm.
Show-off.
- Love.
Irresponsibly : Idiotic.
Responsibly : Good thing.
- Drugs and Alcohol.
Drugs : Moron.
Alcohol: In moderation... Fine.
- Religion.
Depends what religion...
For the most part...
Submissive Pussies.

This is an cool idea! I'll be short and honest.

1) Abortion. - Pro-Life, but I do feel sorry for months who lives are in danger and sometimes it's ok.
2) Teen sex. - I did it, it was great..Thats why I believe people should know what the hell there kids are doing.
3) Teen pregnancy. - The little whores deserve to have their life messed up. Also, the effects on some of the babies are horrible.
4) Gay marriage. - No. No. No. But I do believe that someone singnificant other should have legal rights though.
5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference). - There's no such thing, people just have urges and they need to learn to control them.
6) Suicide. - People are stupid. >.>
7) Self-harm. - Again, the psychos need to be put away.
9) Love. - Love is great? Everybody deserves love.
10) Drugs and Alcohol. - I do them, and they are great.
11) Religion. - I'm a Christain, but not a freak. I won't jump down your throat for your beliefs, dont do it to me.

Of course when I give advice, I will be more polite and less of my view will be in the picture. ^___^ But here's the only place you'll know the truth.

1) If someone doesnt/cant have a child then they shouldn't have to, but this shouldn't be a decision taken lightly or as a back up plan.

2) Liveing in an area where theres lots of it, I have been comepletely nulled the the age limit of sex, so honestly I could care less, its them throwing their lives away.

3) Same with number 2, lots of people round me havein them. But should be avoided, and if it happens, it happens.

4) If someone has a problem with it then they deserve to burn in hell for all eternity in the deepest bowels where the devil himself dare not go. (that goes for all prejudice and stereotypeing)

5) Everyone has choice, why should I care?

6) No one, NO ONE should feel forced to kill themselves. And anyone who gives someone else reason too has lost their rights in my point of view.

7) Self-harm is ok to an extent, cutting and acctually hurting is too far. I find just going for a run, and pushing myself beyond my limits to keep running, just fine razz

9) Dont have much of it. Dont need it. Nice too have though :3

10) Drugs and alchohol... Everytime I have caught someone doing it, I punch them in the face. Cept one time, but he ran faster than me :/

11) Everyone needs something to believe in. No matter what it is, and no one can change that.

Hope to chat with you guys some more, and even more hopefully help others, all I want to do biggrin

wassup Im [cool name here] but I guess everyone here can read that. So let see where I stand on a couple of things. If you like me I guess I'll hear from you soon.

Where I stand on:

1) Abortion
I think people should be able to choose what they want to do with their bodies. Although I believe abortion is awomans right I don't feel that she should live irresponsibly and opt for one everytime she gets herself pregnant.

2) Teen sex
Teens should be aware of the risks they are taking and prepare themselves for the unknown. STRAP UP OR LOCK IT DOWN

3) Teen pregnancy
Mistakes are going to be made, its natural to make them. If you feel you are mature enough to have sex, then you should be mature enough to handle responsibility.

4) Gay marriage
Love is love not matter what your sexual orientation is.

5) Sexual preference (your views, not your own sexual preference).
What you do behind closed doors is your business. I don't want or care to know about it.

6) Suicide
I know people who have family members that comitted suicide and its hurts. I can't imagine taking my life and leaving my family to figure things out.

7) Self-harm
I've never done it or know anyone who has either so I don't really understand why people do it.

9) Love
Love can either be the most incredible thing to happen to you or it and destroy your ever being. I've been through both. It sucks to feel like you're on top of the world and turn around and feel like the world is caving in on you.

10) Drugs and Alcohol
YES PLEASE. Nothing to hard core though.

11) Religion
The world is pretty crazy now. People need to find something they believe in and stop killing each other.

Other
I like to make friends and recieve random PM's and comments on my page. I have a lot of drama going on in my life right now; but if you want to talk PM me.
