nicky, your point about educators is a very good one. the "one size fits all" type of schooling didn't do it for me, either. my lack of conformity at school did me no permanent harm in terms of career success, etc ... but at the time it seemed like the end of the world. thanks for your comments, feel free to snoop around some more. mignuna.

trinitie and dan, it is MY opinion. i hated being young. i wasn't asking for help, or to have my mind changed. what i think you two are trying to say is you're coping fine with being young. good for you, and i mean that sincerely. but you could be a little more secure about it. i'm not going to defend my opinion. i didn't question you, or young people in general, with my article. i stated an OPINION. your reply may have very easily caused offence. free specch is fine with me,

being young is horrible. it's like: here, have a firm, healthy body, an enquiring mind and limitless potential; but temper it with the fact that nobody thinks your emotions are real, you have no authority whatsoever, and you have no voice of any consequence to the "grown-ups". you can have that. i hated being young and i've never for a second wanted to turn back the clock. the paradox of youth was the worst i ever encountered, and i'm glad it's over. even from the vast distance of

things the attention-span-challenged person should NEVER do in Humor JoeUser Forums

my attention span is unreliable. it is also dependant only on MY level of interest in the current happening/ and/or it’s events/participants. how rude. anyway, as a result, many inconvenient things happen to me, which probably serves me right. i could avoid most of them if i took my own advice, but i don’t. here it is anyway: 10 things the attention-span-challenged person should NEVER do: 1. assume you didn't put your keys in the toilet 2. buy anything now that y

sensitive new age guys have their place, bless ‘em. i’m sure there are LOTS of women who adore their male partners’ capacity to “understand” their “feelings” and suffer “sympathetic” labour-pains ... ... i just don’t happen to be one of them. it’s all good to be "into" what makes your woman tick, but frankly, men who know more about my menstrual cycle than i do scare me. i like to think of it this way: need-to-know basis. i laugh out loud when my hubby misinterpre
