The purpose of this is to inform gay and lesbian young adults about the process most parents go through when their child's homosexual orientation is disclosed. The stages to be explained are: shock, denial, guilt, expression of feelings, personal decision-making, true acceptance. The process assumes that you have wrestled with the issue of whether or not to come out to your parents and that your decision is affirmative. The approach and suggestions offered in the following are based on the assumption that you suspect one or both of your parents will be understanding, if not supportive, given adequate time. This pamphlet may not be helpful if you have serious reservations about their ability to cope and you suspect they could sever their relationship with you.

So I took a test and it turns out that I don't know what empathy is. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.[1] Definitions of empathy encompass a broad range of emotional states. Types of empathy include cognitive empathy, emotional (or affective) empathy, somatic, and spiritual empathy.

If you want to meet someone real, then Tinder may not be for you. In a recent study it was revealed that the number one fear that women have about dating online is that they will meet a serial killer. For men, it is that their date will be fat.

I am confused as I thought we might of had something together, with the woman I met online, but she now seems not interested. Do you think I should see what happens with the friend, that has said she has feelings for me?

There's no rule or timeline when it comes to getting remarried following the death of your spouse. Like grief, the “right time” for everyone is different. For some, it may be a few weeks, and for others, it can be several years. You don't have to stop loving your deceased spouse in order to find love again.

I've let my friend move into my spare room for the last two months, as he had nowhere to go and I felt sorry for him. We have been friends since we were in school and we've always got on well. The problem I'm having is he doesn't clean up after himself, and my place is becoming a dumping ground for his stuff.

At Christmas I tend to buy my own gifts. Not that I don't appreciate the gifts I get from the people around me, but if you really want something, it's more than likely you aren't going to get it from someone else. You know what I mean... You wanted that new watch, the one with the music and GPS navigation and what do you end up with? One that barely tells the time and will sit in a drawer for the next few years.

I had sex with my neighbour who lives down the hall from me, and I have been trying to avoid him ever since. It was a one-night stand a few weeks ago, as I was drunk from being on a night out with friends and felt like I needed some company. I bumped into him as I was going into my flat, and we started flirting with each other, I invited him in for a drink, and things led to us having sex on the sofa.

How to go about telling someone you've just started seeing, that their personal hygiene isn't up to what you expect. I don't care what anyone says, your private parts should not smell. malodorous, stinking, fetid, noisome, putrid, rank, fusty, musty mean bad-smelling. malodorous may range from the unpleasant to the strongly offensive.

I was in a similar situation once when I was renting a flat with a mate of mine, and it made me understand the old saying, you should never shit on your own doorstep!
