• (2 votes) so the help.com clique is at it again?
  

  This old chestnut? People have been saying it for years, whenever their post doesn’t get answered within the arbitary time limit they impose.
  
  You do realise that we are all unpaid.. yes? That we are here to help others with NO benefit to ourselves? That we have other things to do with our lives like fix our own problems, work, look for work or whatever? That there are times when the people that might be able to answer your specific question just aren’t around? Or the fact that not everyone can give appropriate advice for your particular problem?
  
  Since the answer is probably no - all of that is true. Also, swearing at us and calling us useless isn’t a good way of getting advice.
  
  Now - if you want to behave like a big boy and actually ask for help - then ask.
  
  Oh, and as for the clique, and fitting in - why would fitting in be important? I sure as hell don’t! This isn’t some sort of club!
  
  (Sorry for rant - having a bad day and this kind of entitled behavior is rubbing me up the wrong way for once)

• (2 votes) After making a post on Help.com I’ve told my
  

  The law states that the age of consent is 16. In other places its 18. In still others its 21. In yet others its 14. Conversly i’ve come across 16 year olds which are wiser and far more savvy than say 23/24. Look at how many uni students behave for instance ;)
  
  Its a figure that is mandated by tradition, law, religion and a whole raft of other facts. Who says when an INDIVIDUAL is responsible? We use a blanket figure because there is no other way, and that figure changes from state to state let alone country to country. You are damning a man we don’t know based on a mistake, a figure which alters depending where you live, and a pile of conjecture.
  
  Alcyone, you say that she is the victim, which is fact.
  
  He is the victim, this is also fact. Even if nothing is said he has to live with the guilt of his actions. He was seduced beyond his better judgement. He made a mistake. Why are you so quick do destroy his entire life based on a single mistake?
  
  If OP hadn’t seduced him, would he have made a move on her? Probably not. OP should never have tried to seduce him.
  
  Then, say the age wasn’t a factor (say for instance it was in Italy where the age of consent is 14 (good old google!)) What is the crime?
  
  It then becomes a mere breach of ethics which would earn a repremand, a serious slap and perhaps loss of job. But thats it. Not loss of everything else too.
  
  Why is it that suddenly everyone here is so pure that they would NEVER contemplate such a thing? We are human. We get it wrong. Look at history and look at the honest mistakes that have destroyed otherwise good people?

  Personally, rather than faff around with Java I would go and fire up mozilla firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/) and then download this for it - you’ll love it!(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137/)

  My Grandparents - married, happilly for 50 years until they died.
  
  My parents, still married, still happy at 40 years and counting.
  
  Me, Happy, enjoy life, have very few friends (choice!) and the ones i keep around me I love and will all support me if I ask for their help (or give me a slap when i’m being a retard!)
  
  I don’t ask much out of life - I’ve always wanted to simply be happy - not money, not health, not anything but just to be happy with myself. So far i’m doing well :D
  
  Happiness is there! But you have to learn that its not things that make you happy - its yourself. Understand that you have to learn yourself to be happy - find the things that make you smile, discard the things that make you sad.
  
  You also have to learn that there are some things out there that do make you unhappy that you cannot remove - for those (few!) things you learn why they are there, and use them to spur you on. Everything is there for a reason :)
  
  Look at yourself, and smile :)

• I have secrets and no one to tell them to.
  

  I’m afraid this is something you will have to live with - I would recommend, if such a thing is possible that you cut off all contact with the married man and forget about him - write it off to the winds :(
  
  The reason being is that if he will leave his wife for you, how can you ever trust him not to leave you for someone else?
  
  And what is a relationship without trust?

• How can it be that I’ve lost inches and not weight?
  

  simply because muscle is massively more dense and thus heavy than fat. You are replacing fat with muscle, therefore not losing weight but you are losing size :)
  
  Well done! :D

• I’m not beautiful enough for my crush
  

  If you think you can’t compete on looks (which you are likely wrong about) then compete on mental faculities. Share interests - be /interesting/ for him. Make him want you for your mind.
