| I'm of the stance that bullying is NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER your fault. If people are going to say this **** to you to try to get a reaction out of you, THEY ARE IN THE WRONG. Knowing that YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT will help you ignore these comments. I sure as **** hope these girls who filed the ... |

| I believe a lot of it's due to the gradual destruction of morals in this society. If I might be so bold, I will also add that since God was taken out of the schools and is now being taken out of the public eye, things like this have been happening more and more. I don't want a debate on this. I've ... |

I'm doing everything I can to get back into a proper weight range, but it's not working. Could it be from the Prozac I'm taking? What else can I try to lower it? It is a basic = calor... |

| I've yet to see what I consider to be a definitive diagnosis. From what I have seen as potential symptoms, I see a misdiagnosis at best. I think it would be better to write that he had a speculated diagnosis. Overall, though, it is helpful to at least see something that states autism and these mass ... |
