Tell him. She may be pissed at you and he's definitely going to be pissed, but if it's your kid you need to either agree with her to give it up for adoption or raise it. She obviously doesn't want this kid unless she can play house with her boyfriend. If this is true, this is YOUR kid. What kind of a life will it have with them? Probably not that great of one.

My family is sitting at home and not in the best of spirits. Our cat got hit by a car a few days ago and we're all pretty upset. We don't really feel like joy and barbecues and celebrating.

Firstly, your happiness should not balance on whether or not your friend is there for you. Perhaps he's having a hard time too doing his own thing and isn't meaning to ignore you.

Second, you've been there a week. Your feelings of stress and depression over your situation are completely valid, but give it time. Go to some freshman activities on campus, meet some people, and branch out. In the world of growing up and going to college, you're going to have to let old friends go. It's hard enough keeping up friendships with people in your immediate vicinity when you're busy with school, but people at a distance? Can be damn near impossible.

If you really can't stand your school, move. Get into a new one. It sounds like you have the grades to do that if you want, so do it. But don't move because your friend is somewhere and you're not there, move if you really don't like the school itself.

Not during a real exam. I did online school, though, and for the tests or quizzes we had to do at home it wasn't hard to put an equation into google or search the answer to a question.

@XilePrincess: I'm pretty uninformed on the subject but you said people viewed gays as abnormal people. People who are mentally sick. On the other hand we have the gay movement claiming that sexual identity can't be changed and it's something you're born with and will die with. more than fifty years have passed since the start of this movement and still there's no creditable evidence that such thing is true. Sure you hear people researching the matter but if they have truly discovered something isn't this the right time to reveal it to people? Isn't it more about preference rather than identity? Isn't someone who says he has no desires for the opposite sex preferring the same sex to a great extent rather than being born with it? Isn't human mind more complicated than always being in a state of either yes or no? It appears to me that such claim merely exists as a shield against gay haters. But it's important to know that you can't defend yourself using a lie.

Religion is the reason homosexuality is frowned upon. Literally that and NOTHING else. Multiple religions have ideas against homosexuality, sodomy, etc. that stem from passages that have been translated over and over and then interpreted the way people see fit. This is the only reason people view gays as abnormal or 'wrong'. Religion has skewed the world's views beyond repair.

Homosexuality exists in nature. There are animals who have been observed as only having same-sex relations, while others within their species have heterosexual relations only. These facts are not a secret, people just refuse to believe they can also apply to humans because (I guess) they believe that humans can be somehow coerced into homosexuality and animals cannot, or simply dismiss them as broken mutations. If science revealed without a doubt that there was a genetic difference between gay and straight people, it would likely be ignored, or taken as 'gays are not the same as straights and therefore they are inferior' and the bigots would run with that.

While I am in the agreement that human sexuality extends far beyond the constraints of gay or straight and think it would be much more obvious should we not have a social stigma attached to being one or the other or neither or both, I must ask, were you born straight or did you choose it? Did you ever really think about your sexual preferences, and if you 'decided' one way or the other, why? Why constrain your sexuality based on gender? Why 'choose'?

I can say I never consciously chose or actively decided a preference between men or women. Why should I argue with someone who says that their natural strong favoring of the same sex is any less valid than my natural strong favoring of the opposite? Why would me saying I have no desires for the same sex be accepted without question, but someone saying the opposite would be grilled for it?

My dad was a total D bag and I didn't turn into a lesbian... or does it only go the other way?

Why are people coming out of the closet? Because it's still 'wrong' to be gay to a lot of people. Lots of gay kids get kicked out of their homes, beaten, and abandoned entirely by everyone they love. It's very sad. That's why people still hide it and have to 'come out', because it's not a thing so widely accepted that it can be shared without fear of a negative response. It's not viewed by everyone as just a preference (eg strawberry jam is better than grape jam). It can be a horrific revelation that, to the people around you, is the equivalent of discovering you're the antichrist.

Basically, the people who are closeted are so because of folks like yourself who feel the need to question, pick apart and try to argue about it.

Being gay isn't glamorized. It's just making its' way into the media like everything else did as it became 'acceptable' in the world to show. It didn't mean it wasn't happening, it just wasn't yet shown in media. From the first couple shown in the same bed on TV, to women being shown in power roles, to interracial couples in TV and movies, it's all found its way into media long after it started happening in the real world.

That's unfortunate. Does she remember it and kept it a secret or was too wasted to even remember and it was news to her too? Either way, that will take a lot of working through to move on from. Whether he forgives her should depend entirely on the circumstances and her reaction to it as well.

I don't understand why people still bring babies to theaters. You can watch movies at home with no effort. Netflix IS a thing now. And if you absolutely MUST see some new release, why wouldn't you leave your kid with someone?

There is no reason to bring your baby to any movie, so I don't think giving someone with a crying baby the side eye or asking them to leave until the kid has stopped howling is rude at all.
