Question by jack m: The legality of a church advertising on public school grounds.?
Hi, I live in a Dallas suburb where there is a large Christian population and Friday night football is the thing to do. My high school allows a group called Young Life to put ads up around the school and have their youth ministers come into the school during lunches to talk to students for “counseling”. There is no other religion represented. Also, around the parking lot, they put up signs inviting people to the “Student Center” for parties after the games which is like a free starbucks coffee shop run by a Baptist church. There is nothing on these signs to indicate this is a church sponsored event. What is the legality of this activity? I know this isn’t the best outlet, but they are inside our school, inviting kids to their church, and are brought in for “counseling” by the school administration.

Question by kirkland321: Found out my ex GF, recovering meth addict, had a BF who was a dealer. She said he shot up and was always…?
trying to get her to shoot up as well. I believed her when she said she would never do that (like a dumb-ass), but now I’m not so sure. Don’t you think that a scumbag dope dealing junkie would tell her, “No, you can’t snort it and you can’t smoke it, you have to shoot it with me.” Further, as much of an addict as she was (TWICE in rehab!), doesn’t it stand to reason that if faced with not being able to get high by smoking or snorting (she liked to smoke the $ hit), she would almost surely end up being talked into shooting up? I am already convinced she did, but I was just curious what others might say. And spare me your judgement and your lectures, I already know what a mistake I made dating a recovering addict. Thanks. BTW, I put this in “marriage” because I couldn’t find an “addiction & recovery” section and I was hoping for some mature opinions, maybe some people who have had similar experiences, so that rules out “singles & dating”! Thanks again…
Yeah, I know. She looked me up after 26 years (we went to high school together) and I got caught up in the romance. Honestly, to know her, you wouldn’t know she ever touched the s***. Looks great, very intelligent, well-spoken, etc. Believe me, I DO feel foolish and I should have known better. Love sux!

All the techniques described below are hard-hitting. These grief counseling techniques confront the emotional pain of your grief head on, and are designed to give you back the control and power to overcome your own pain and loss. The top 5 grief counseling techniques are:

Many people find it difficult to console a grieving parent. It is because the loss of a child is the most painful thing for any mother or father to handle. It is one of the most heart-wrenching sights to behold, seeing a mother cry ceaselessly or a father suffer in silence.

A child is a source of hope for any couple. He or she is a little bundle upon which they have weaved their dreams upon. He is the epitome of perfection, innocence, beauty and a bright future. Since there isn’t much that relatives or friends can do to ease the parents’ feelings, it would be best to just help around with the untended chores or to simply offers words of sympathy and kindness. Now this is much easier to do but what if you are the parent and now you are left alone sleeping on your child’s empty bed? What then can you do?
