Underage drinking can make teens do things they have most likely have never done like binge…

bye to her friend and went to her room. She sluggishly climbed up the stairs and tried her best to search for her room. After a few attempts, she finally found her apartment room and entered it without knowing hers is the door right next to it. Hangover quickly rushed to her system when Lily woke up in her bed, naked. Unconsciously, she stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Running water was the only noise she could hear as she cupped a handful of it to rinse her face. When she…

Learning to be an Addict Addiction is thought to be a “disease of the mind.” Although this is somewhat correct, the word disease is misleading. A disease causes an irreversible change in brain chemistry that is passed down through a person’s DNA. Addiction causes temporary changes that can be eliminated through healthier lifestyle choices.

The wedding starts in a few hours. What do I do? I can’t go through with this. How do i commit the rest of my life to a woman who can’t be honest with me? A woman who feels lying to me is the only way. Without sounding too cliché, ‘what’s a relationship without trust?’ I’m done being afraid. She claims she loves me but, who…

In the recent years, gay marriage has been a controversial topic that many people are extremely passionate about or resentful of. Although many of the…

I understand that this is your first session, but you don’t have to be shy. Trust me — I’ve heard it all and I would never judge you for your problems.” There was a long pause. “I don’t have problems”, Holly responded, “Aside from the occasional hangovers — a bottle of bubbly doesn’t cause any real harm. Besides, an old religious person like you would never understand my problems. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself: I’ve taken care of myself for a long time. I’m only here because…
