The pressure started at 13 and went on until I was 15 and the only one not baptized my age. I lasted about a year and then left.

Insensitive talk assignments
by Steve Lowry ini once was assigned a talk on masturbation when i was about fifteen or so.
the theme of the talk was to discourage masturbating (actually to forbid the practice), as it was considered by the society a no no.
looking back on it, it offends me to this day that they would give a kid such a sensitive and embarrassing talk assignment like that.

So my July 4th was not spectacular at all. After a nice lunch with a friend I started to have stomach cramps. By 5 in the afternoon it was so painful I could barely walk and I started to feel faint. I called the advice nurse at my HMO and she told me to get to the emergency room right away. It was thought to be my appendix but after two surgical consults and other tests they determined it was just inflammation. I was discharged at 4am. I called my mom just to let her know. Well just now she called and said, "if you were to have surgery, how am I supposed to know. do they know to call me?" I'm said, "You're not on my immediate emergency contact because you live almost 3,000 miles from me; and for something as routine as an appendectomy (spelling?) they wouldn't call." I was thinking maybe she was trying to bring up the blood issue. She was a little aggressive in her voice. I was waiting for her to "bring it on". HAHA

by PaulMarshall inhi.. i have decided to join this site and hopefully connect with some people who will know what my story has been.
i guess it is best to read my profile, but the upshot of this new found technology is that i am no longer alone in my isolation.
i can hopefully reach out and connect with people who really understand what it is like in my head!

by TMS inmy wife and i were both on ladders painting the exposed boards of our storage shed on a weekday when a car pulled into the driveway across the street.
