RebelBandGeek12 I remember Aaron Carter, Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys, N-Sync and a lot of other groups from the late 90's and early 2000's, even though I wasn't a teenager then. I agree with you that the trends in songs change rather quickly. As far as the...

RebelBandGeek12 Well seeing as I'm a teenager right now, I think that some of the most popular music is performed by Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Eminem and other artists in the mainstream genre. While I do enjoy listening to this music with my friends, I also have a feeling that...

Why is abortion legal?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 3 Jul 11

Why is abortion legal in my home country up until 24 weeks pregnancy? Abortion is illegal in some countries? Why do you think this is? I don't agree abortion should happen unless the mother's life is in danger. In my home country...

RebelBandGeek12 Parents "breed" their children. You talk about these people as if they are dogs or horses or other animals that we "breed" for the best traits. I don't know about you, but I know I'm no horse or dog or other animal and my parents sure as hell don't "breed"...

We basically have to wait a few minutes or hours before meeting a doctor or simply stay in the car while our parent or friend shop. Under such circumstances, I usually keep myself buy by reading magazines or playing games on my...

RebelBandGeek12 I usually bring a book when I know I'm going to be waiting on someone and read that for a while. If I didn't know (or I forgot)and I am in the car then I generally turn on the car radio to my favorite station and listen to music. If I forgot and I'm in a...

Am I Protecting Them Too Much?

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85442) • Valdosta, Georgia 29 Jun 11

I am protective over my kids like most parents are. I don't want them to get hurt or upset in any way. I think I might carry it a little overboard so I just want to see what all of you think as well. Right now I am talking...

RebelBandGeek12 I think you need to expose them to some *minor* disappointment while they are young. Otherwise, when they grow older, they take the emotion too far and cause serious mental harm. As far as I've seen, I have friends whose parents won't let them drive a car...

RebelBandGeek12 I haven't had any problems with PayPal hacking as long as I use a credited site and change my password and security questions often.

RebelBandGeek12 I think that some things are a little too personal to post about on the Web, but I haven't seen anything like it on myLot. I find it liberating to post about some mildly personal experiences here because you can get good advice or sympathy from people who have...

Ideas for avoiding brain freeze while editing?

SpikeTheLobster @SpikeTheLobster (6399) 28 Jun 11

We're all familiar with writer's block, where all our creativity seems to seep out our ears and run off somewhere to hide, but I'm currently experiencing editor's block (if that exists). I have over 22,000 words of a...

RebelBandGeek12 Take a break! Use 10 or 15 minutes of break time to read an article or chapter by your favorite author! Reading something well-written will satisfy your inner editor and help to calm you down so that you can distinguish between actual prose and the Yoda-speak...

Bones Finale; Possible Spoilers for Some

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 20 May 11

I really like Bones and usually have to tape it to watch since I also like Nikita. Now I will skip some lines to avoid causing spoilers for some. The finale was more about the characters than the case...

RebelBandGeek12 I thought that Vincent Nigel-Murray's death was really sad, but I still have doubts as to whether or not Bones and Booth could have gotten pregnant the natural way that night. I know that the pregnancy was written into the show because real-life Bones Emily...

The Murder Trial of Casey Anthony

lelin1123 @lelin1123 (15594) • Puerto Rico 30 Jun 11

RebelBandGeek12 I believe Casey Anthony is guilty and that all the evidence points to her. Now, the only thing the defense is trying to do is push for either a mistrial or an appeal so that they can keep Casey away from the death penalty. I believe that Casey Anthony's family...

RebelBandGeek12 I'm not terribly in shape, but I recently went over 150 lbs for the first time in my life. Problem is, I'm only 5'2", so that really jacks up my BMI into the overweight range. I am not the kind of person to just let this go, so I just started a diet and...
