| Welcome to WP! Seeing as I am a teenager I am probably not one to offer advice on parenting, I am however autistic and can offer advice on that. There really is no "how to" guide for helping teenagers with autism. We all tend to have our own specific and often unusual quirks/preferences. The best ad... |

| I do not use either one, my friends use snapchat but I never saw the appeal. I don't know my parents' stance on kik but I have been apprehensive about it because I know the negative reputation it has garnered. |

| This is not a viable argument for why guns should be banned. posting signs that say "this is gun gun free zone" never have and never will protect anyone. This is a case of some idiot not handling their weapon properly and not storing his gun with the safety on. |

Additionally new sources of energy will need to be found so depending on what they are they will probably have a visib... |

Just be nice to people and get more comfortable with being close to people its hard (trust me I know), but it really does help people feel more comfortable around you. With me I find it best to ... |
