Have you ever heard of date rape? The answer is probably yes. And it’s just a guess but I’ll bet you heard about it in school, that’s where I heard about it. When it was taught, my teacher made it seem like date rape just happens when you are in a loud dance club with blue and green laser lights and fog. Then when you’re good and drunk, some sleazy, frat-boy lookin’ dude slips a roofie in your...

Imagine this scenario. You arelaying in bed, dressed all in your P.J.s. The lights are out, maybe your sleepytime playlist is playing softly in the background. You’re fairly comfortable,but you just can’t seem to fall asleep. Roll over on your side and keep trying to drift off but your brain just won’t stop ticking away. You begin to pay attention to your thoughts, and realize you know exactly...

What are you watching? If you told me even what channels you watch I bet I could get a small grasp on who you are as a person. It seems a bit like judging a book by the cover, but I am confident enough in my statement to risk it. We have so many choices of what we can watch, at any time, that we end up coming back to the channels that play what we want to see. Be it cartoons, crime shows,...

When I was in high school I was kind of a jerk. I never hit anybody or

got in a fight, but I really liked making fun of people. Making fun of

people might even do more damage than fighting, but I'm not too sure,

Many times addictions don't just start on their own. One doesn't wake up, having never looked at pornography, to find that they are addicted to it. Just the same as somebody who has never had a sip of alcohol will not one moment find that they are an alcoholic. Usually when one realizes that they are an addict of any sort, they can trace that addiction back to find a series of compulsions in...
