HELP!!! What can I do to get rid of the cravings for pop?

carmella @carmella (496) • United States 9 Feb 07

I am horribly addicted to pop, namely pepsi, and I don't know how to stop drinking it. I'm over weight to start with and I know that pop does not help, not to mention it really is not good for me. Has anyone had this problem...

elby79 Wow, that mother is pathetic! I hope she gets a nice long prison sentance and it is horrible. That poor child will be scarred for life, he may overcome it but he will always have emotional issues because his mother was unfit. It stinks, there are so many kids...

elby79 I think you are a good friend. I always thought that Christians were supposed to leave judgement to God not ditch it out themselves.

Could you FORGIVE your MOTHER?

iAlicia @iAlicia (758) • United States 22 Dec 06

I have a friend. She is very close to me and always has been. She was sexually abused by her step-dad from the time she was 8 years old up until the age of 12. During that time frame she mentioned what was going on to her...

elby79 Forgiveness is probably the right thing to do but I personally could not forgive my mother is she did something so hideous. Mothers are supposed to protect their children. Maybe her mother couldn't have prevented this from happening to her in the first place...

some parents like/feel the need to brainwash their kids... with religion

soadnot @soadnot (1606) • Canada 5 Feb 07

Many religious parents like/feel the need to enforce their own beliefs on their kids. Its almost like brainwashing. Wait, it is brainwashing. Kids are the most gullible people. This is because they have no beliefs, ideas,...

elby79 It's a tough dose of reality, the only help I got from parents regarding school was a student loan that they took out and I (still to this day) pay for. I knew there was no money for me to go to a Four year school and I couldn't do it on my own so I went to a...

elby79 The kids will inevitably suffer and their parents will probably end up resenting them, if they don't already. When I hear about pregnant women smoking and drinking it makes me so sad because there are so many people who cannot even have children. Would they...
