I never liked the idea of beauty pageants for really young children.  For one thing, they are learning very superficial values.  It appears to me that they are treated as dolls not human beings.  They live to serve thier parents dreams not their own.  To me that is emotional abuse hidden by a lot of "I love you's" very manipulative stuff.  These parents are no better than the pimps who are surviving  at the expense of another "non-human" a whore.  They just gloss it up a bit .  I think it just is a messed up system and an exploitive one.

Hello, my first name is clara and my screen id is clear dawn.  I have suffered for many years with bipolar disorder.   I hope to write to some people who have the same issues as I .  To give and recieve support.  If anybody is iterested in this my email clarakstar2000@aol.com.  I just glanced at the boards and I got overwhelmed a lot of information at once.  I look forward to hearing from somebody else with this illness.  My major issue right now is employment I just quit my 47th job since my working carreer beginning at age 17 now i am (gulp) going to be 40 soon.   Take Care,

                                         Peace out

and when your truly frustrated remember the Serenity Payer.  Its about focusing the stuff that you can control. And, accepting the stuff you can't contro. And, the wisdome to know the difference.  That prayer comforted me many times.

I honestly believe that marriage is not for everyone.  And, if a person is totally against marriage you really should not try to force some one or change the mind of someone who is against it.  But, this is my opinion.  I have not seen the show about "forcing somebody to commit.)  Each relationship is different.  As a general rule I don't believe you should try to convince, cajole, or whatever for something that they don't want.  In other words, there other types of relationships other than marriage that couples can be happy with.
