gerianne1078 The internet as a whole is not safe but we can take proactive steps in protecting our privacy. I love social networking sites because it allows me to connect with a lot of people but I know my limits too. I always keep my personal information private and I do...

gerianne1078 Nope and dang proud of it too. Keeping up with cellphone trend is just impractical in my opinion. I still use my Nokia 6020 going on seven years now. I would probably still have my Nokia 3310 if my brother had not given me the 6020. :)

gerianne1078 I agree. Besides her friend did ask for her opinion whether to leave her boyfriend or not. But that is it, just give your opinion since she asks for it but leave the decision up to her.

gerianne1078 If that relationship is not working out anymore then maybe it is time to leave but since this is about your friend, she should be the one to make that decision. If she asks you again then say that if you are in her shoes you would leave that boy but the...

gerianne1078 Did something happen between you two that could have contributed to the reason why you are not invited to his wedding? If there is none then maybe it could just be an honest mistake on his part. Maybe he has forgotten or maybe he is assuming that since you two...

You can't force a love of reading.

megamatt @megamatt (14292) • United States 29 Dec 10

I hear all about how children do not like to read. So in school, teachers are pretty much stepping up efforts to get children to read. Given that this in most cases will just make a child just dislike it even more. It has soured...

gerianne1078 I agree. I have two children myself but I would never force them to love reading. As a parent, all I can do is to give them that opportunity. I always buy books even though they are too young to appreciate it yet. I don't force them. Hopefully, one day they...

gerianne1078 Sometimes, it is better not to say anything at all. Just be present. Hold their hand without saying a word. Allow them to mourn but help them get through it, the healthiest way possible. It does hurt to see someone cry but what can you do but cry with them?...

gerianne1078 Both parents should play a role in bringing up their children. A child needs the mother's nurturing touch but at the same time, he or she also needs a father's guidance. The only problem is that in our society, the mother gets the brunt of the responsibilities...

What it means to be "Free"?

darknessfalls @darknessfalls (180) • Philippines 23 Dec 10

I know as generations pass by the definition of "freedom" changes as well. I commonly hear people, who are by far older than me, say that the definition of "freedom" is often mistaken by the youth. I, sometimes, hear that to this...

gerianne1078 You are right. This is a huge topic and I do not think we will ever agree as to what freedom is. So I'll start with what freedom is not. To me, freedom is not doing everything you want, when you want it, no matter what. That is the most abused part of freedom....

gerianne1078 It seems like she is not over her boyfriend yet. If that is the case then you have to ask yourself if you're willing to wait until she sorts out her feelings. If you are willing to wait then give her time. Obviously, she is still hurting and she may still be...

cheating

gerianne1078 Hi! It does not look good especially since he is keeping it a secret from his wife. Maybe there is nothing to it. It could be that he does not want to hurt his wife's feelings over something that is innocent. Personally, if I am his wife, I'd be pretty angry...

gerianne1078 For me it is harder to say I'm sorry than to say thank you. I guess it has to do with the fact that saying I'm sorry also means acknowledging you wrong and there in lies the problem, isn't it? Admitting that we are in the wrong. That's the hardest part but...

gerianne1078 Hello! I do believe it is better to receive and I also believe that when we give, we also receive. This is illustrated in the principle of sowing and reaping. When you sow, you also reap but attitude is just as important when we give. Why do you give? Is it...
