    I have a question for sciforums; Everybody has hunches about things right? They go by many names: intuition, sixth sense, gut feeling, and many more. But should we always trust them?

    I say this because, as I get older, people around me are experiencing very bad hardships. Many, many people are going through really tough times around me. But the exact opposite is happening for me; I haven't ever gone through a really tough time yet. And I can't shake the feeling that since I haven't gone through much turmoil in my life, something incredibly bad is going happen in the near future. Don't ask me why, I can't prove it or anything. I know nobody goes through life without tough times happening, but I can't shake this feeling.

    Comments/suggestions?

  3. It's like when you toss a coin and call it correctly - it happens because you've got a 50% chance of being absolutely bang on the money.

    You toss the same coin again, again bang on the money and so on and so forth - everytime you make the right call, but the more times you get it right the more you start thinking how unlikely it's going to be to call the outcome correctly each time after that.

    That happens because of human nature, nothing to do with random chance whatsoever...

    Well, then I would say you've got a long way to go. Try to come to terms with the fact that life is probably going to get a lot harder once you are away from home, if you aren't already. Try to enjoy the time you have now as a 15 year-old. For me, life started getting hard at 18, college. I did go to a military college so that is probably a more drastic change than a civilian college would have been. So many times I wish I had gone to Texas A&M (go Aggies!) or anywhere else but where I did go. I also wish I wasn't so damned stubborn. Try not to worry yourself overly much though. Life can also be wonderful. No need to worry, regardless. Just take everything a day at a time and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Be able to admit to yourself that you need it. And learn how to be honest with yourself. Find out who you are, and by that I mean, find out what is important to you and stick to your guns, no matter what criticism you get. And try to see the "funny" in everything. Beyond that, it is a wild ride.

    great advice from Cotton....just like to add. when i was 15 i was like you cept i didne have no intuition how crap thangs could become----which they SUUUUURE did. like a big metal doorfalling on yer head

    see, at 15, you kind of have no past, as it were. so everyting's fresh as a diasy. i know you HAVEhad heavy times, etc.....bu.oh you'll see

    advice is, try not and get caught up in doing stuffyou hate. which you think you OUGHT to do. understand that it is YOU an only you who knows what you feel inside. noone else can. not even mama nor a lover

    you have thepower of choice. so any wrong scence you get involved in , job, relationship, persona, whatever. YOU have THE power of choice to NOT do it...walk out, etc......of courxse you could go from frying pan into te fire, but tats a gamble w all have to risk.....as long as you know you always have the power of choice

    The best thing about being knocked down is when you get up again.

    That is probably the most profound thing I have said on these forums. I should probably retire now.

    I'm getting a little tired of having to get up though. I've got enough character too. Don't want any more. Meh.

    Maybe it's just guilt. I've also had good luck for no apparent reason, while my friends go through hardships. At least I'm in a position to help them. Maybe you just have better judgement than most people.

    Now he says this. After he goes around the forums contradicting people decades older than him.

    I actually gave him respect because I trusted he was old enough to have a considered opinion and not speak on subjects he had no idea about.

    Read the private message, senor Happeh. It basically explains my view on the whole age thing. Are fifteen year olds not allowed to have opinions of their own? To read the news around the world, to debate the problems of today? Just read the PM.

    And what does it matter whether or not I'm younger than the people I'm debating with? There's no age limit on SciForums for a reason. My arguments don't magically lose credibility because of my age. I read the same news you do, read the same forum you do, and have my own thoughts like you. Obviously, if I've contradicted people (argued my point) well enough to where nobody has complained or argued that I'm acting like a fifteen year old, then my age is obviously a moot point.

    amish
    happeh is a jerk, freak, fraud, liar, loser, and a deceiver
    he says crap like he does to you
    and then when people start dishing it out to him he puts them on his ignore list

    he has been disproved with everything he has talked about but he continues to spout his shit

    trust me amish he's a fruitcake
