Do drug addicts deserve any sympathy?

Question

Do drug addicts deserve any sympathy?
I feel these days no one can say they didnt know that for example, heroin is addictive. When you take drugs you know the likely result. Thats fair enough, its your body, your life. Its up to you how you kill yourself. But why is society expected to carry the can? How many peoples lives are ruined, not just the drug takers, but their families, and the people who get burgled or attacked to fund addiction. However small the amount you take, you are helping fund major crime. The addict is guilty.

Answer

yes...they need help, professional help.

Do braces hurt when they are put on?

Question

Do braces hurt when they are put on?
Do braces hurt when they are put on or when they are putting them on? When will it start really hurting?

Answer

My braces hurt like hell when I got them. What was suppose to take about hour installations took hours. I was in intesnse pain the whole time. Im well into adulthood, I dont know if that made a difference, but as I was in the chair being quotworked onquot I thought if this is what braces are like, I dont think I want these, but the ortodontist convinced me to get them. Im had them for a year and they are a royal pain, the flossing is annoying, and everything gets caught. The adjustments are also pretty painful, where the remove the wire, and have to clamp it back into place, a snap over every tooth with a little tool, that feels like its going to just crack the tooth off into the back of your throat. The thing that I hate the most are the elastic bands they give you to stretch from the top of your mouth, all the way to the back of your mouth, that are about the size of a pencil eraser in diameter. They strech and pull your teeth to the correct spaces, but the pain is unbearable. The last straw for me was the orthodontist telling me I would have to the wear the bands hours a day, only to be removed for eating. If you dont wear them the orthodontist will know cuz your teeth wont move, and he will not be happy with you. Im having my braces removed in July. I cant take it. I hope you have better luck. make sure and ask lots and lots of questions, and know exactly what you are getting into

Do you think paernts should have complete access to a childs cell phone?

Question

Do you think paernts should have complete access to a childs cell phone?
My daughter is . She got her first cell phone last Christmas at . Within a month she was the victim of sexting. I had a talk with her. We blocked the boy that was doing the offense. I am worried now because she has way more friends now and seems to give out her number to just about anyone she meets. I dont know these people. She might meet them at a football game when she is with her girlfriends. I find out later the number might belong to boys years older than she is.

Answer

ABSOLUTELY! The parent is the one that has to sign for the phone and is under contract for that phone. The parent is usually the one that pays the bill. Parents are responsible for not only the phone but the child until they are of age. brbrDefinitely, as a parent you have every right and responsibility to know what is going on with that phone. Does not mean you have to listen in on private conversations between her friends but it does mean you need to know WHO her friends are and whats going on with it.brbrPersonally I always let my children use MY phone when they needed it when they were growing up. Kids think we parents OWE them a phone we dont and they are not necessities they are privileges.
