help me fix my grammar
I wrote an essay on Romeo Tragic hero and my grammar isnt really so could you please help me fix my grammar and make it sound better :) 10PTS
Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespare is an old classic tragic love story about two young star-crossed lovers from two rival families trying to fighting for survival. A tragic hero is some who is high rank, have conflicts and tragic flaws. Romeo fits the criteria and that’s why he is truly the perfect tragic hero.
First of all Romain is Romeo is rich young man from a rich family called the Montengues. In the beginnging of the play Romeo was deeply in love with Rosline, and she doesn’t feel the same way for Romeo, and he was really upset. Later in the play Romeo and his friends sneaked in to the Capulets party. He meet Juliet and they quickly feel in love without knowing even knowing each other. So at first Romeo was in love with Rosline and after he meet Juliet he’s now he’s obossed with Juliet and immeditly got over Rosaline. Romeo is letting him emotion get to him.
Second of all Romeo is extremely implulsive. He acts like a child, and he makes decisions without even considering the consenquences. Even though Romeo knew that they were from different family , he still want to go on with it. Later in the play Romeo and Juliet got secretly married without there parents knowing, and did not even consider the consenquences. Romeo feels a sense of fulfillment and has never been happier in his life.
Towards the end of the play Tybalt killed Romeos best friend Meurcutio and he allows his emotions to take over and kills Tybalt to revenage Meurcutio’s death. Romeo was banned from Verona, and Juliet was force to marry the prince. Juliet fake her death by drinking a fake position got from friar lawrence. Romeo got the news without knowing she’s not really dead. Romeo didn't even check to see if Juliet was alive, and he didn't think about consequences of killing himself. Instead, he impulsively kills himself, causing the death of Juliet.
As you can see why Romeo is the perfect tragic hero. In the beginning he feel in love really quickly, he allows his emotions to take over and kills Tybalt, he didn't even check to see if Juliet was alive, and he didn't think about consequences of killing himself. These are his tragic flaws that lead to his tragic ending.
I'm scared of moving out and living alone?
i have a very conservative traditional family (the kind that won't let their daughters move out until she gets married).
my parents are very controlling and i always let them control me all these years because i do feel close to them.
i'm in my mid 20s now and i am seriously considering moving out. my boyfriend encouraged me to find a secure neighbourhood and find a job closer to my new place. i really appreciate what he's trying to do but at the same time i'm really scared of being on my own.
i'm scared i'm going to feel completely lonely.
i have a tendency to feel sad from time to time.
what should i do?
What to do about trichotillomania?!?
I'm a 15 year old girl and I suffer from trichotillomania. It started a few years ago with pulling my eye lashes, and now it extended to my eye brows. I heard an older girl taking about it in school and after doing some research it seems I have it :( I constantly pluck every day, but I don't see a pattern or anything. I'm usually pretty stressed out with high school, friends, drama, soccer, my volunteer work and my family, so I'm always running around, busy, and basically stressed.
What I really need help with is telling my parents. My mom gets really angry when she sees me pulling. After I did my research I went up to her and told her about it, and she flat out told me, "shut up, there's nothing wrong with you, you're just doing and saying it for attention." I literally cried myself to sleep that night. My mom refuses to believe me and to do anything about it. I heard therapy and some medicines can help relive the stress. But I don't know what to do! My mom refuses to listen to me, and so does my dad. My grand mom thinks I'm over reacting, and there's really no one else I can go to in my family. The plucking is getting bad that I'm starting to have spots in my lashes and brows where its noticeably thinner and there's less hair. I need to stop before it gets worse. Any success stories and advice out there?
Did you have a court wedding ceremony? What was it like?
My fiance and I are having a big (well, 90 people) formal wedding with a ceremony, but to be legally married, we're going to the courthouse the day before. The reason for this is we are both atheists and want our marriage to be made official legally, not religiously. Unfortunately in my state, my only options for officiants are a priest/other religious leader, an ordained friend (ordained = religious wedding), or a judge - and judges will only do it in their courthouse. So we'll be legalizing it with the judge in the courthouse, then having our formal ceremony with vows and rings the next day in front of friends and family ("officiated" by a friend).
Has anyone else done anything like this? My concern is that it might be weird having the two ceremonies. Do we just invite our parents to the courthouse? My friends want to come too. I don't want to belittle the courtroom ceremony, but I want the formal ceremony the next day to feel special. Advice?
I'm not sure if anyone thinks a "secular" officiant is someone who marries you without mentioning a god but is still ordained to legalize marriages through a church, but that is not a secular marriage. Believe me, I did extensive research on this, and in my Midwest state this is how the laws are. If I lived in a "cool" state like California, I'd have more options.
To Diamond Collector - easier, yes, but not fitting with our beliefs. We don't support the church, and don't want our marriage to be through it.
Addicted to boobs - why - see below?
I grew up in a very restrictive family. Females had to be absolutely covered up and couldn't even wear form fitting clothes. I remember I had a friend's house I went to in 3rd grade. He had gotten a hold of his dad's playboy mags. It is there I first saw a set of breasts and felt this intense rush come over me. Ever since I've been addicted to breasts. It doesn't even matter who the girl is, I just want to see them and pretty much always like them.
I'm wondering if things would be different had I grown up in a liberal house. What if my parents were nudists. Maybe I wouldn't have such an addiction to breasts. I'd probably still enjoy them, but wouldn't be starving for them all the time. Do you think my addiction is due to how I was raised?

How do i leave my big homie?
I've joined a gang at 15, because my brother forced me into it. I'm from orlando, mercy drive. Its a crazy, shitty ghetto slum, tons of crime and murder, hence the name mercy drive...
I didn't want to join the gang... as a matter of fact, I tried everything I could to not be in it. But if I didn't join the gang. I would be dead right now like my parents. My entire family was killed by a gang, even my brother, in my home, when I was 17. I was taken in by my big homie and forced to have sex with random men every day, for money.
Its been over a year now, I've been doing this. My big homie has A LOT of fucken power... I'm afraid of him, he hurts me and neglects me, and I kno I can't survive on my own here in the projects of orlando. I need to leave. I crave education. I crave freedom, crave Life... is there anybosy out there that can relate and please help?!
I am not good enough for him ?
I am 20 and my fiancé is 32. It was my birthday last week and he bought me a brand new Bentley and a rolex.
He spoils me and I know I can't compete with him. He is posh and rich. Im not. His family dislike me because I done modelling. Things that perhaps they find revealing and inappropriate.
It was my birthday and his family were like "He works long stressful hours as a solicitor to buy that chavy blond b!tch a car!" and saying hes getting married to a girl that's been round the block many a time! They even said I look like i'm 'up for it'. His friends have even said it and my fiancé showed me the texts and one said 'Oh she's sucked many' but my fiancé brushes them off by saying "oh your jealous or whatever!"
It's insulting! My fiancé is beautiful inside and out. He loves me, I love him. Everyone wants to split us up. Even my ex boyfriend who I split up with agesss ago was in a shop, came up to us and said 'I boned your missus!' I was upset, its embarrassing for me and my fiance. Also in my past I dated two brothers and his family keep bringing that up! I have made plently of mistakes but people wanna bring them up.
I understand his family want the best for him, but even he told them I am that. He said he never wants no pre nup for our wedding cause he trusts me and loves me.
Our wedding is planned, we are getting married very soon and I have just found out I'm pregnant but only my fiancé knows. Like I want this to stop before we marry and have our baby because I won't have them ruining it. I even think sometimes I don't deserve him and should let him find someone better..
His parents told me on the quiet 'leave now before it's too late, and you can keep the engagement ring'.
My family are happy for me, I make my fiancé happy. What can I do?
