• (6 votes) What is wrong with girls?
  

  noone said make friends with her… We said let her down gently, say no to her interest in you.
  
  How do you know your feelings don’t matter? most girls wait to be asked out, or taken an interest in. Seems logical too, since as girls taking the initiative are treated like they escaped from the funny farm…

• (3 votes) Do you think there are good people and bad people everywhere
  

  I think that people can develop immorality due to their experience, so in a country with a lot of corruption or gang warfare there will be people doing bad things. But I don’t believe they are intrinsically bad, it is just to do with what are the norms in their society, and what they have to do to survive.
  
  This is also why parenting is so important, as poor parenting can result in a people feeling a lack of attention / boundaries and therefore act badly.
  
  So in conclusion, no ‘bad’ people, only bad actions either through learned experience (society, peers, parenting) or perhaps mental health. They may be more concentrated into countries / cities, because of deprevation and corruption there. This is just my opinion

• (2 votes) If men were truly sexist, feminism wouldn’t exist
  

  The fact you are claiming men have ‘allowed it’ is an insult in itself, I agree some men aren’t sexist, but some are, just as some are racist and some are homophobic. It is also an insult to women like Emily Pankhurst who died so that women could receive equal rights as men. Education is now what is needed for the average wo/man to succeed in this period, enabling a good career and to live well, previously it was attributes relating to strength (like farming and working with the land), which naturally favored men who are physiologically stronger than women. There are radical feminists, but on the whole feminism was a product of a changing world, and not a conspiracy by any stretch of the imagination. This can be seen in developing countries which still maintain a heavily paternalistic society, In time that too will change.
  
  Additionally, I will tell you what I was told by a professor when I did my degree… The use of flowery language doesn’t strengthen your argument, nor does it make you sound more intelligent. An intelligent argument comes from one that is clear and concise with valid points which makes the reader question their previous beliefs.

• (2 votes) i think am in love with two girls and i don’t know what to do !
  

  A quote for you.
  “if you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn’t have fallen for the second.” johnny depp.
  
  I suspect though you aren’t in love with either. I’m not saying that you don’t like, care for and find both attractive. But love takes time and investment in a person. I suspect if you make that investment in one of them you will look back in time and realise at this point it was not love.

• What is heaven?
  

  It is the religious idea of paradise following death for those who have lived a good life, I suppose no one knows what that consists of, so I suppose it is whatever you believe it to be. I’m personally an atheist so it’s not something I believe in

• Can you use questions in the introduction of a narrative essay?
  

  [quote CanadianGirl]Well my topic is insomnia since I suffer from it myself. In my introductory paragraph I was explaining my thoughts as a child so I wanted to write something like: “Why go to bed when you can stay awake and spend more time playing?”
  
  [quote Crumpet♡Strumpet]I don’t tend to ask questions. For example if I was writing an essay on whether tall people are smarter than short people, instead of using a question I would write something like this.
  “This piece aims to establish whether height has any correlation with intelligence, in order to ascertain this I will review the literature and relevant research surrounding this issue….” What is your topic?[/quote][/quote]
  
  I this an academic essay? If it is then I wouldn’t use personal experience, a good piece of writing takes the author right out and clearly gives the reader an argument in which to base their opinions on, so unless you were asked to write a reflective piece I would write in the 3rd person. I would find some relevant research that you could include in your essay. Remember a good essay doesn’t just confirm your belief, it gives the whole argument.
  
  For example rather than writing Why go to bed when you can stay awake and spend more time playing?” I might write
  ‘Often insomnia suffers hold their lack of sleep on the inability to focus their mind from issues they are currently facing, or even to pursue other enjoyable activities. Jones argues that this could be due to a lack of parental boundaries as a child, with a lack of routine causing children to follow a suboptimal sleep pattern, and be subjected to too much stimuli before sleep. Simpson reinforces this argument, his research suggests that those who are diagnosed with insomnia and other conditions such as attention deficit disorder, are children born to those with an unstructured parenting style. Conversely, Smith feels that may not be the issue, and determines that these problems are due to the impact of increased achademic stress on children, causing them to seek out recreational activities’. etc etc.
  Of course these references are made up and you would need to find your own, but this is how I would write this essay
