self injury, a few questions..?
So I self injure, but, its not really that serious, I use sicsers (idk how to spell that, just those things you cut paper with) but I bleed a few drops of blood each time I cut. I cut about two times a week. My reasons for cutting are that I am depressed, and I feel dirty and stupid and when i cut all of that goes away. I do not feel like stopping, because it helps me in a weird way. So a few questions about it:

- Is this really cutting or am I just being a poser
- Is this a serious problem (only twice a week, btw, I’ve been doing this for about two weeks)
- I currently dont and never have cut on my wrist, I’ve heard this gives the best effect but I can see several veins on my wrist and they like are really close to the skin, is this normal or do I just have small bones (I know that some people have fatter wrists than others)

I know its a problem and that I need to stop, but im getting counselling and everything so don’t bother trying to talk me out of it, it won’t work over the internet lol.

thanks and only respectful answers please.

You need to get out of it when you can. I too started by just doing barely there shallow cuts, but quickly progressed to deep wide ones…you don’t want that to happen to you because it’s very hard to get out of and very addictive. You should tell your counselor that you cut yourself, even if it was only 2 times. Just don’t do it anymore. It’s not that serious yet, but it can get serious pretty quickly. It is the underlying problem that is the problem, i.e. the reasons you are cutting/what is driving you to cut yourself, and if it is driving you to cut yourself, then yes it is serious.

Some alternatives are: running, listening to angry music, going to the gym and lifting weights, punching a pillow or pounding on a punching bag, screaming, writing poetry.,…there are countless alternatives but i understand how hard it is to make yourself go for the alternatives instead of cutting. You can use the 15 minute rule,, when you feel like cutting tell yourself you will wait 15 minutes before you do and in the 15 minutes do one of the alternatives and if at the end of the 15 minutes you still want to cut, go ahead, or continue with 15 more minutes, then 15 more minutes, et cetera, depending on how strong you feel. And you can let the urges pass in and out of you like a wave.

to answer your questions
yes that really is cutting & no you are not a poser
even though you’ve just started IT IS a serious problem

---

I don’t know if you’ll think my comment is nice. I’m not going to be hateful or anything, but dear, I think you might think about looking for a boyfriend. This guy thinks of you as a friend, I’m sure … but mostly you’re the girl he screws without any strings attached. That’s not a great position to be in. You seem to have deep feelings for him but he doesn’t seem to reciprocate. Sounds like he’s on the look-out for a "real" girlfriend.

There’s an emotional closeness and respect that comes with being a person’s bf or gf. You’ve entered into a situation where neither of those seem to be present. And they may never be with this guy. It seems to me that once you’ve formed the sort of bond that ya’ll have it would be very difficult to back out and start over. That’s why I said it sounds like you need to go elsewhere and find a boyfriend. Sorry.

District 9 (2009) IMDB rating: 8.60 Plot: An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly finds a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.

Avatar, The Hurt Locker, or District 9?
All 3 movies are up for best picture this year. There are others on the best picture list but right now everyone is saying that these three are the top contenders. I enjoyed Avatar and all. And it’s by far one of the most visually amazing films out there. It’s made by James Cameron after all However if you were to take away all of it’s visual effects it pretty much turns out to be Pocahontas/Dancing with the Wolves with blue aliens. If you’ve seen Pocahontas or Dancing with the Wolves. You’d understand what I meant by the story of Avatar being extremely cliched. Most people will think and say that Avatar should win because all a movie needs nowadays are explosions and shiny things for it to be best picture. I suppose story doesn’t matter anymore >_>

However if anyone has seen The Hurt Locker or District 9, both are visually amazing and have a gripping story that sends out powerful messages that makes the viewer connect to and think about reality and the many problems embroiling the world. Here’s a rundown of what the 3 movies are about real quick. Don’t think about the visual effects. Just totally block them out. Think about the story and pick and choose for yourself.

Avatar: Set in very distant future. Main character travels to different planet to replace brother. Becomes a Na’vi alien. Can run really fast now and do cool flips in the air. Meets female blue Na’vi. Falls in love with said Na’vi. Decides to switch sides and fight for the Na’vi, because the humans are depicted as typically greedy individuals who want to steal resources. Surprise, surprise. The aliens protect a giant tree and win even though the humans had incredible high tech weapons and ships and the main character ends up living happily ever after with the woman he loves in a feel good almost Disney esque fuzzy ending O__O

The Hurt Locker: Based on real life experiences from soldiers and journalists while over in Iraq. Soldier is sent to Iraq as apart of the EOD. An elite bomb dismantling squad. Said soldier and his team face constant death as they try their best to protect innocent civilians everyday from roadside bombs and sharp shooting snipers. No room for error because when you’re dismantling a bomb and you make a teeny little mistake you die. Each and everyday is hell for the EOD squad as the struggle to keep everything under control. In the end the main character crumbles beneath the stress of his job and doesn’t end living happily ever after even though he tries to lead a normal family life but can’t.

District 9: Based on the cultural happenings and current problems in South Africa, Tanzania, and other parts of the world where people live in extreme poverty and areas rife with crime, discrimination, hate, ignorance, meaningless violence, and elitism. Main character is at first very biased towards the aliens and sees them as nothing more then animals and scum. However through very clever character development. Irony hits him in the face, LITERALLY, and he is FORCED to become an alien. No choice is given to him. He hates what is happening to him and people begin hunting him to harvest his body parts. And see him as nothing more then a pig up for slaughter. He slowly begins to realize the hell the aliens that landed on earth on going through and connects with another alien named Christopher who has a small son who are both trying to escape back to their home planet. At first the main character is completely selfish and only wants Christopher to cure him and turn him human again. But as time passes he witnesses the brutality the aliens are suffering at the hands of everyone. And grows somewhat of a heart, not a TOTAL heart. He

Quotations to learn for Dorian Gray?
Has anyone got any good quotations that are essential to learn for The Picture Dorian Gray. I have my Higher English prelim on Monday and i would be very grateful if someone could give me about 10 quotes to learn. Thank you very much.

---

Below are 11 quotes that I regard to be essential; but they are short enough to commit to memory. Needless to say, they do not capture all of the themes and nuances of the novel; however, they present key ideas.

CHAPTER 1: Basil Hallward to Lord Henry Wotten:

"…The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."

CHAPTER 2: Lord Henry Wotton says to Dorian Gray:

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful."

CHAPTER 3: Lord Henry Wooton looks over at Mr. Eskine and says:

"Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world’s original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, history would have been different."

CHAPTER 6: Dorian Gray:

"I love Sibyl Vane. I want to place her on a pedestal of gold and to see the world worship the woman who is mine. What is marriage? An irrevocable vow. You mock at it for that. Ah! don’t mock. It is an irrevocable vow that I want to take."

CHAPTER 7: Dorian Gray:

"…The quivering ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing."

CHAPTER 8: Dorian Gray:

"For there would be a real pleasure in watching it. He would be able to follow his mind into its secret places. This portrait would be to him the most magical of mirrors. As it had revealed to him his own body, so it would reveal to him his own soul."

CHAPTER 11: Dorian Gray:

"Yes: there was to be, as Lord Henry had prophesied, a new Hedonism that was to recreate life and to save it from that harsh uncomely puritanism that is having, in our own day, its curious revival."

CHAPTER 17: Lord Henry Wotton speaks to the Duchess:

"…Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it. We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible."

CHAPTER 19: Lord Henry Wotton asks a question (rhetorical) of Dorian Gray:

"By the way, Dorian,’ he said after a pause, ‘what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose — how does the quotation run? — his own soul?’"

CHAPTER 20: Dorian Gray:

"It had brought melancholy across his passions. Its mere memory had marred many moments of joy. It had been like conscience to him. Yes, it had been conscience. He would destroy it."

CHAPTER 20: Final lines of the novel:

When they entered, they found hanging upon the wall a splendid portrait of their master as they had last seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in evening dress, with a knife in his heart. He was withered, wrinkled, and loathsome of visage. It was not till they had examined the rings that they recognized who it was."

Good luck!

How is the poem Death Of A Hired Man by Robert Frost a Modern poem?
Here is the poem

Mary sat musing on the lamp-flame at the table
Waiting for Warren. When she heard his step,
She ran on tip-toe down the darkened passage
To meet him in the doorway with the news
And put him on his guard. "Silas is back."
She pushed him outward with her through the door
And shut it after her. "Be kind," she said.
She took the market things from Warren’s arms
And set them on the porch, then drew him down
To sit beside her on the wooden steps.

"When was I ever anything but kind to him?
But I’ll not have the fellow back," he said.
"I told him so last haying, didn’t I?
‘If he left then,’ I said, ‘that ended it.’
What good is he? Who else will harbour him
At his age for the little he can do?
What help he is there’s no depending on.
Off he goes always when I need him most.
‘He thinks he ought to earn a little pay,
Enough at least to buy tobacco with,
So he won’t have to beg and be beholden.’
‘All right,’ I say, ‘I can’t afford to pay
Any fixed wages, though I wish I could.’
‘Someone else can.’ ‘Then someone else will have to.’
I shouldn’t mind his bettering himself
If that was what it was. You can be certain,
When he begins like that, there’s someone at him
Trying to coax him off with pocket-money,–
In haying time, when any help is scarce.
In winter he comes back to us. I’m done."

"Sh! not so loud: he’ll hear you," Mary said.

"I want him to: he’ll have to soon or late."

"He’s worn out. He’s asleep beside the stove.
When I came up from Rowe’s I found him here,
Huddled against the barn-door fast asleep,
A miserable sight, and frightening, too–
You needn’t smile–I didn’t recognise him–
I wasn’t looking for him–and he’s changed.
Wait till you see."

"Where did you say he’d been?"

"He didn’t say. I dragged him to the house,
And gave him tea and tried to make him smoke.
I tried to make him talk about his travels.
Nothing would do: he just kept nodding off."

"What did he say? Did he say anything?"

"But little."

"Anything? Mary, confess
He said he’d come to ditch the meadow for me."

"Warren!"

"But did he? I just want to know."

"Of course he did. What would you have him say?
Surely you wouldn’t grudge the poor old man
Some humble way to save his self-respect.
He added, if you really care to know,
He meant to clear the upper pasture, too.
That sounds like something you have heard before?
Warren, I wish you could have heard the way
He jumbled everything. I stopped to look
Two or three times–he made me feel so queer–
To see if he was talking in his sleep.
He ran on Harold Wilson–you remember–
The boy you had in haying four years since.
He’s finished school, and teaching in his college.
Silas declares you’ll have to get him back.
He says they two will make a team for work:
Between them they will lay this farm as smooth!
The way he mixed that in with other things.
He thinks young Wilson a likely lad, though daft
On education–you know how they fought
All through July under the blazing sun,
Silas up on the cart to build the load,
Harold along beside to pitch it on."

"Yes, I took care to keep well out of earshot."

"Well, those days trouble Silas like a dream.
You wouldn’t think they would. How some things linger!
Harold’s young college boy’s assurance piqued him.
After so many years he still keeps finding
Good arguments he sees he might have used.
I sympathise. I know just how it feels
To think of the right thing to say too late.
Harold’s associated in his mind with Latin.
He asked me what I thought of Harold’s saying
He studied Latin like the violin
Because he liked it–that an argument!
He said he couldn’t make the boy believe
He could find water with a hazel prong–
Which showed how much good school had ever done him.
He wanted to go over that. But most of all
He thinks if he could have another chance
To teach him how to build a load of hay—-"

"I know, that’s Silas’ one accomplishment.
He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference,
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like big birds’ nests.
You never see him standing on the hay
He’s trying to lift, straining to lift himself."

"He thinks if he could teach him that, he’d be
Some good perhaps to someone in the world.
He hates to see a boy the fool of books.
Poor Silas, so concerned for other folk,
And nothing to look backward to with pride,
And nothing to look forward to with hope,
So now and never any different."

Part of a moon was falling down the west,
Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
Its light poured softly in her lap. She saw
And spread her apron to it. She put out her hand
Among the harp-like morning-glory strings,
Taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
As if she played unheard the tenderness
That wrought on him beside her in the night.
"Warren," she said, "he has come home to di

Stupid bitch told the boy I like, that I like him….And now I'm freaking out…?
OK…Long story cut short….My "friend" told another girl (that I don’t like and she doesn’t like me), about the person I liked and have liked for nearly 2 years now. She didn’t realise how much this girl doesn’t like me. I don’t know why she told her anyway, but yeah, that’s sophie for yah.
Anyway, the girl sits next to the guy I like in English, and I was moved to there table for a discussion today, and just as I was finishing, she looks up at me and goes…
"Oh, Melissa, is it true you like ***?"
So of course, after a momentarily pause, I say, "No."
So she goes, "But, ****** told me you really like him."
Bare in mind he is sitting right there, staring at me.
So I just say no, it’s not true, and walk off. But then she is saying something to the whole table, that I didn’t hear, and they all laugh, and look at me.

I have maths tommorow first period, in which i sit next to him, and I’m dreading what he will say, or do. I know it’ll be awkward, and I just don’t know what I should do to fix it. What do you think?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Awww!! Well that girl is obviously insecure about herself if she has to embarrass you like that. Any person with self-confidence and respect wouldn’t have done it, so she’s the one with the problem, not you!! your friend might have just accidentally let it slip out that you like him. anyway, if i were you i would just act casual and act like you usually do so that he doesn’t feel awkward. joke around and stuff so that the mood is lightened and he doesn’t feel uncomfortable. if he likes you, he is probably happy right now anyway good luck!! and don’t worry so much, this isn’t the end of the world although it feels like a big deal now!

What would cause a compass to bounce 2-3 degrees for a period time without settling down?
Yesterday I put a military-type lensatic compass on a table. It bounced continuously for several minutes about 2 – 3 degrees before stopping. I am curious as to what type of interference would cause this. The weather conditions were cloudy/low overcast with no noticeable wind. I live in Central California.

---

Those kind of disturbances are usually caused by a nearby conductor with an electric current. The current creates a circular magnetic field around the conductor, which attracts the poles of the compass. It might be a power line up above or a smaller conductor nearby.

The disturbances can also be caused by solar wind, if it’s blowing harder than normal.

Do you like your tax money being spent on a Republican congress and President who are suspected of crimes?
BY JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON – There is so much political corruption on Capitol Hill that the FBI has had to triple the number of squads investigating lobbyists, lawmakers and influence peddlers, the Daily News has learned.
For decades, only one squad in Washington handled corruption cases because the crimes were seen as local offenses handled by FBI field offices in lawmakers’ home districts.

But in recent years, the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal and other abuses of power and privilege have prompted the FBI to assign 37 agents full-time to three new squads in an office near Capitol Hill.

FBI Assistant Director Chip Burrus told The News yesterday that he wants to detail even more agents to the Washington field office for a fourth corruption squad because so much wrongdoing is being uncovered.
