When you were younger did you ever spend time with your family, ask your parents for advice, choose to stay in with the family and watch a movie rather than go to a party? I think decisions like these are the difference between...

deliawas Yes, and each parent has their own style of teaching and raising their children to steer them towards bettering themselves. I think as long as you make an effort and recognize when to step in and get strict and make sure that your child does not self destruct...

deliawas So looking back on how you treated your parents and how they responded to your behavior at that age, do you think things will be different raising your baby?

deliawas I think that's how it should be but with todays youth they are spending less time with their family and giving their friends that role instead. So when they make mistakes they do not have the love and nurture to learn from those mistakes because their peers...

deliawas That is how I feel, but many kids aren't staying home to have that parental influence and think that mom and dad don't know anything but their friends know it all because they said they experienced it before.

deliawas I agree with your mentality however I think that many people think that they have all the answers or take their friends word over their parents and that is when there becomes a problem.

deliawas Oh I'm not looking for anyone, I was just curious. Was it a social site like this is or a dating site?

When dating a person how long do you give them before you expect a decision to be made whether to be monogamous or not. A little background on why I ask: I have been dating the same guy for 10 months now, we get along very well, I...

deliawas You nailed it!! I feel like a girlfriend and can't comprehend how he can include me on big decisions yet can not take being called my boyfriend. It is very frustrating and I truly hope that things go my way and I get the guy =)

deliawas I don't think parents are completely to blame but children get their mentality from home and school, if you are doing your job as a parent then your children will not feel like they can't make the right decision, and that they should follow the crowd.

deliawas Thank you very much. I think your parents raised you well, with a good balance, gave you encouragement, and taught you how to take care of yourself, but not all parents do that. The problem with a lot of youth these days is that they are learning important...

deliawas I think parents may not always teach you by words but rather by example, seeing how they act in their lives or the decisions they make may have made you the way you are. I think having your priorities in order is a great way to make better decisions but many...

deliawas And I think balance is what is needed. I think that too many people are spending too much time with their friends and giving too much influence to their friends, so when they become sad, these friends get angry with them, or they are confused, they make bad...

deliawas That is very true as well for me, male friends are so much more protective, they can laugh off problems, and are a lot more loyal than females tend to be. I am such a non-drama type of person and to find people that are as real and true as I am (or think I am)...

deliawas I think it's just senseless to pretend to trust someone completely when in actuality you have other people that you really can turn to

deliawas Sometime I just wish though that people could accept others opinions without causing such a huge deal, accept differences, and deal with it like adults rather than protest because they do not see things the same way.

deliawas I agree, the best paying job approach rarely leads to happiness. I rank success as being happy in all aspects of life and regretting very little if anything. I just do not understand how it is fair to judge an applicant who does not have a degree against...

deliawas That is a very good point. People in trade schools are very imperative to our daily lives, I think the emphasis on college is too well known and not enough high schools promote other opportunities.

deliawas I agree completely that nobody starts at the top, and I think that's my biggest problem with the people that are claiming college degrees are so powerful because rarely do they get you the top position in whatever industry you go into. Experience is also...

deliawas Thank you very much! I have to agree that the corporate world does look for a degree I think I might understand more if I knew why people are judged based on that paper rather than a job related test. I feel it would be more affective to add to an application...
