Is this excerpt OK for a 15 year old writer?
If I'd written something like this when I was 15, I would probably still be proud of it now, so yes, it's good for 15. You still have a few things to learn about writing... such as it not being a good idea to respond to insults with other insults. (I would probably have reacted the same way when I was 15. That doesn't make it right.)
In search of a true story?
Back in (I think?) the early 1970’s there was a TV show about a normal baby, Allen whose underage mother was forced to give the baby up by her parents who then put the baby in a home for mentally ill children where he was raised. Now to the best of my recollection the special was called, “Isn’t it awful about Allen”. I can’t find any reference to the story so if anyone can help me with that I would greatly appreciate it and no, it was not “Its how awful about Allan”
A love song by David Lawrence?
The poet misses his lover. Sleep is his only escape when he can relive treasured moments with his absent love.

If you take down a robins nest after all babies have hatched, is it likely another robin could start another?
another nest their in the future? Will the babies come back to visit? Do the babies have any recollection of location?
If you were to die...?
and were bought back to life through science and technology...... say e.g. cryogenically frozen and thawed (I realise this is not currently possible), and you had no recollection of seeing god or going to heaven etc, would you still believe in him?
Would my hypothetical agreements between aliens and humans useable if there was a first alien contact?
What happens when the aliens want to, as you say, "...spread alien religions and languages to earthlings without seriously interfering [with] the earthlings' culture."
How to delete account?
My teen daughter set up a Yahoo account last year without my knowledge. She registered on some comprising websites and is now harassed at school because when her name is searched on Google, the sites appear she is a member of. She has no recollection of the account name or password and the email address she used to open Yahoo has since been canceled. I've tried everything to access the account to cancel it, with no luck. Please help! She is afraid family will see these websites.
A dream from near eight years ago won't get lost. Can someone interpret it, so it will quit bothering me?
The dream scenario took place where I was living at that time, in East Liverpool, Ohio, on Halloween, possibly mid-day. In the dream, I and some friends were on our bicycles and, the odd thing is, we were trick-or-treating. But then, this dark-colored, mansion-sized house came rising out the ground. The color of the mysterious house, I cannot recall. I only remember that the color was so dark, it was so close to black, it is probably why I can't recall. And it had like most mansions the dual front doors. Anyway, back to the dream. After I and my friends saw the house rise from the ground, we went up to it for a closer look. About five, maybe ten seconds after we arrived, the doors came bursting open. Then, a huge number of spirits, of apparent evil, came flying out, in every which direction, including after me and my friends. We took off in separate directions. Then, the scene turned over to me, in which I was riding through the school yard of the East Liverpool Elementary School. However, in the dream the school yard was much larger. I was moving at I would say give or take the speed of a dirtbike tuned for child use. So give or take 40-50 MPH. However, back again to the dream. As I was rocketting through there with an evil spirit on my tail, while I was looking behind me, suddenly, huge flames came out of the sky, which it had become obvious, were helping us, for they were hitting the evil spirits, destroying them, while leaving not even a trace of soot on anything around or nearby. However, back to the dream once again, while I was watching this phenomenon, I forgot I was still pedaling, and did not realize I was heading for a concrete ramp, until it was too late. When I went off it and into the air, I went flying over a tool shed, which the dream had based on the one in the actual world, same in every way, only ten times in size. Back to the dream one more time. As I was in the air, I thought I was going to crash to my death, but I also didn't even have the slightest notice of an angel which the current scene zooms out long enough to show it swoop down and catch me, still on my airborne bicycle. When the angel sets the bicycle safely on the road, I am pedaling so hard, the tire is actually skidding, and stirring up smoke, and sending rocks and what-not flying. When the angel releases the bicycle, it takes off, like a rocket. And I head strait the house I was living in, which the dream also copied. And that is when I wake up. This was an interesting dream, for it was scary, but at the same time very strange. Normally, if I remember a dream, within a maximum of a month, I have no recollection of it. But this one was near eight years ago, and I still can't get it out of my head. Why is this dream refusing to get lost? Is it trying to tell me something? Or is it refusing to leave just to annoy the crap out of me? Can someone interpret this dream, and give me a possible reason why it refuses to get lost, and stop bothering me?
Why does my bird do this everytime i go inside my room to say hi to her? or just to go in my room at all?
ive never hit my bird or anything like that, i spend alot of time with her, but everytime im walkin down the hallway to my room im like hi my baby girl Blossom, so she isnt scared, but once i walk in the room, she lifts her wings, like to stretch up, then puts them down, or she fluffs up her feathers and shakes like she is shaking off dust, then ill pick her up and she's cool with hanging out with me, but once i leave the room, she chirps until i come back, then she does the stretchy thing again or something. and she only does this with me, not anybody else, and idk if its a defense thing or a 'hello' type of thing?
Are all flashbacks from traumatic experiences?
It's highly likely for there to be nothing wrong with you. People reminisce things very often without specifically setting out to think about something. But it would be best for you if you visit a therapist, just for reassurance.
Help! I'm forget what happens when I'm drunk!?
Well duh. You don't want people to tell you to quit drinking. What else do you expect? To get a camera and record every minute of the night? Maybe if you see yourself drunk you WILL stop drinking!
Sims 2 University problem?
I made my sim have a baby at university with a cheat, and when she was about to graduate I used the agesimscheat to make the kid an adult, and long story short the mom went back home and the adult kid, not young adult, is left at the college and can't go back home to river blossom hills? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's just coming into style?
Okay, I like to stay ahead of the crowd when it comes to style. I know that Uggs, Toms, and Coach shoes are really in right now, but I see them almost everywhere where I live. I want to wear a brand of shoe that's just coming in to style, so i can be the first one to really bring it to my town. So anything that's coming from celebs or off the run way that isn't off the chart expensive, and is just blossoming in the fashion world, and is wearable day to day would be great. Or if you live in a big city (i a small town girl) and see a brand a bit often that would be good too.
At what temperatures are certain weather events expected to occur?
Consistent with things that "just happen from time to time," looking forward to seeing Pegminer's answer chosen as best, which it clearly is, notwithstanding several other good ones.
What can I do about this unbearable coworker?
I was at work on my laptop, when a coworker comes up to me and asks me what I am doing. Before I could answer him, he takes a look at my laptop. I was checking my bank statement. He see's the money I have in my account and immediately starts asking me for a loan. I said no, and he replies ah come on, it's not like you do not have it. I said no again and got up and left. Now he is badmouthing me to other employees. What can I do?
What should I name my characters? Please help!?
I, for one, am desperate to read the rest of the story! Really! Is it going to be a short story or a novel? Can I read it when it's finished? I have to know what happens to Ben & Eden. Luke and Mason are both great names for the guy. You've got a real flair. Very believable. Is this autobiographical? ~ ~ ~

I want a lipgloss that will compliment my full lips without making too much of a statement..which one would be the best for me? Thanks(:
Allergic to Head and Shoulders shampoo?
Ok at first I was using a combination of Head and Shoulders(extra volume, dandruff shampoo) with Pantene 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner. Recently I started noticing little bumps in my head that itched so I figured it was the Pantene and I stopped using that and just used the Head & Shoulders. But even after a couple of weeks the little bumps are still on my scalp. So I'm assuming it's the Head & Shoulders shampoo. But I have used Pantene before and it didn't give me the bumps, but as soon as I started using Head & Shoulders the itchy bumps on my scalp appeared, plus my slight dandruff is still there. With conditioner I use V05 Apple Blossom, mainly because it smells good lol. So I was wondering if I was allergic to the Head & Shoulders shampoo??? And can someone give me some tips as to what I should do to get rid of the bumps and what shampoo & conditioner to use, my hair is long and thick and doesn't have any dye in it. Thanks (:
There IS a cure for cancer?
Why are you promoting this? I had stage 3 cancer (huge and had spread to lymph nodes). I did chemo, surgery, radiation, and I no longer have cancer. What's wrong with that? I'm happy.
