Changing Your Friends
I've been wanting to express my feelings on this subject for a while, specifically regarding issues with people my age, anywhere from 25-30, going through this phase where everyone is changing, growing up, and starting to feel tension as differences between friends arise. We all grow up, change and start to need different things from our friends. More contact, less contact, more understanding. The thing is, without us telling people what we want or need from them, they are never going to give it to us. Even then, we have to recognize that not everyone has the experience to develop new relationship skills no matter how old we get, and some people might not be able to give us what we need at all.

Toxic Relationships
Not everyone has had toxic relationships with close family members. Some people are lucky and have lovely supportive parents, even if they are divorced. I am one of those unlucky women, with a history of toxicity, a pattern I have tried my whole life to break. It would seem easy to do, but the domestic violence psychology I learned as a teenager has held true: victims are more likely to find themselves re-victimized.

Equity Theory and the Maintenance of Relationships
As I reach the halfway point of my third year at university and what is the final year for the majority of my uni friends (sad face) the daunting notion that I'm going to no longer be around people I care about haunts me weekly. I've been thinking a lot lately about what my life back at roho will be like without my squad and how to find ways to bring us all together once in a while but also how to stay in touch with the friends I've made here in France. The idea of not being around people I've been hanging out with every day for the past three months and also the possibility that we might not stay in touch and never see eachother again really makes me wonder, how do people maintain lifelong relationships?

Communication Is Key
There comes a point in every relationship where trouble is inevitable. Problems arise, you feel stressed, and you both have different plans for your future, whether it be school or work, or any other contributing factors. You argue, stress yourselves, and say things you can never take back with a simple "I'm sorry." I've written this article to help you get a different perspective on what's going on with you and your significant other, and how to change that through types of communication.

Life After an Affair
I never did think I would be the person to cheat. I have always vouched to stay faithful and I looked at people who did cheat as disgusting humans. How could you hurt someone like that? I have always been so completely in love with my significant other that I never even gave anybody else a second look.

Some People Will Have to Learn the Hard Way
You will win some and you will lose some. You can't save everybody, because you will find out that some people are just stuck in their own ways and don’t want to change. Even if you know that the person is making a dumb decision, or if they are walking down a destructive path, guess what? You can't stop them if they don't want you to.

6 Things to Consider Before You Give Someone a Second Chance
To hire me as your dating coach, click here. Everyone knows one of those couples who always seems to be breaking up and then getting back together. People like this seem to thrive on drama, the circular pattern of breaking up and getting back together is endless. I had a friend recently tell me that he’s dating his ex-wife, and claims that 15 percent of divorced couples get back together! While I have no way of knowing if this statistic is even remotely true, it got me thinking about second chances.

Go Easy on Yourself
Go easy on yourself. It will only get worse. Your mom is right when she calls you special. As you get older, you’ll understand what makes you special. Your sister is right when she calls you annoying.

How Boys Become Men?
All boys are sweet and innocent cocktail bombs of hormones waiting to explode at most unpredictable circumstances. We liked to get dirty, we had an indomitable will, keen senses, and the very sight of girls was able to freeze us instantaneously. But this period of immense energy, confusing conundrums, and embarrassing bits paved to way to our manhood. It was fun and chaotic like all pre-adolescent experiences.

Disabled People Have Trouble Escaping Abusive Families
Money is power in our current society. Having more income allows disabled people to escape their abusive families, since in some families, having a disability is seen as shameful. This is why abusive parents use their kid’s disabilities to control them. My non-profit seeks to help disabled people get jobs or make money online or perhaps to start painting in an art studio set-up. We would need computers. We Help also serves as a starting point within the health care rights movement. I’m seeking to establish a hotline since when are disabled people ever allowed to vent on a domestic violence hotline.
