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?
Can you help me find my biological parents?!PLEASE HELP!?
hello,i am 15 years old.i was adopted the day i was born.I have never met my real mother/father nor my real family(aunts,uncles,cosins..ect).This is not a joke becuase every day i wake up knowing nothing about my real family.this is seriouse becuase all i know is that my mother is vietnamese(im half viet.) and she speak a different language.I dont want too grow up and when im like 40 years old i finally find my real parents and there old and missed my whole **** life.Any thing that will get me one step closer too finding my parents?i want too keep this secret from my adopted mother/father through.!
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?

what is up with my boyfrineds parents?
my boyfriend and i have dated for two years now. For some reason his parents have never shown they really like me.. we met in highschool, he was 18 and i was 16 going on 17. he dated another girl years before me.. when he was in middle school or freshman. they only dated a few MONTHS. to this day, his family still feels there is a reason to talk to her, invite her over, and call me her name even sometimes! he asks them to please stop talking to her cause he knows how uncomfortable it makes me. they talk to her like they love her to death but they will hardly talk to me when im around and theyre rude when they are. i just dont understand what the problem is? ive always been veyr respecful and nice even though theyve hurt me feelings.
gay boyfriend/parents issue?
ok so, i'm 19 and living at home. i've been dating this amazing guy for about five months. he cares about me so much and he loves me. i feel the same. recently my family have found out about him and they are shattered. they are convinced the 'gay life' will only lead to unhappiness. i love my family and they love me but it's awful being in the house now. my mum cries a lot and my dad is depressed. they say they'll never be able to get over it. my 16 year old brother is upset too.
i told my boyfriend yesterday that i need to stop seeing him. i've chosen my family over him. i feel shocking. i'm brokenhearted and so very guilty. i just wish i could feel his pain as well as my own so he doesn't have to suffer. my family are much happier though. i'm not. i don't know what to do. i love my family and i love him as well. i just want to die.
