      By the time we graduate high school, I think thats when we start to focus more on our life goals. Because we need to know what direction to head in after we graduate high school. We need to decide if we are attending college or taking a different path. When it comes to values we sometimes use other people or family members values to determine ours.

      Anxiety is the number one problem on college campuses.

    3. Unfortunately, only a small proportion of people with socialanxiety disorder actually seek treatment.

      Social Anxiety is always blown off, because we feel that its's something we can control ourselves. Im guilty of that, because often i feel like i need to talk to somebody about it but i dont

    4. Social anxiety occurs when we are overly concerned about being humiliated, embarrassed,evaluated, or rejected by others in social situations.

      I can definitely agree to have experienced social anxiety, but i always expect it from people that i am close too. I often believe that my friends put me in situations, that i will eventually feel embarrassed, or upset about.

    1. might feel better about his own side effects if he learns that anacquaintance suffered worse side effects from the same treatment.

      Our thoughts, and past experiences definitely have a big impact on how we think, and act to situations.

    4. People know intuitively that we can better understand others’ behavior if we know thethoughts contributing to the behavior.

      A lot of the times when people are acting out of their norm, we start to make comments like, " omg what's wrong with them", " she is rude today", or she needs to fix her attitude" , and we do those things, without asking a person what type of day they have had.

    1. Many situations in life demand similar delays for best results. Going to college to get aneducation often means living in poverty and debt rather than getting a job to earn moneyright away. But in the long run, the college degree increases your lifetime income by hundredsof thousands of dollars.

      I disagree with this statement, because alot of people do not attend college, and still come out with a better life than ones who do sometimes. Some go through college, and they do not have to. Just because they attend college dosent mean they are doing it because they want to beat the struggle, they could do that in many easier ways. College is not the easy route.

      Whew this statement is one I have to speak on being a college student. Because I have had some experiences in college where I wanted to just act out, and not care what happens afterwards. Self-regulation is key in college, you are coming in contact with new people, new living arrangements, more freedom. You have to control what you say, and control what you do . Even when friends pressure you to do stuff while y'all are out you have to know to say no.

    3. People who are good at self-regulation dobetter than others in life.

      Which in a lot of cases is a true statement. Having self-regulation, self-control. You know how to act, how to carry yourself, and how to handle situations. So you don't tend to act out when not needed, you handle situations in a mature manner, that will not have a bad look on you in the end.

    4. children with good self-control gothrough life with fewer problems, are more successful, are less likely to be arrested or havea child out of wedlock, and enjoy other benefits

      And with those children that dodge these bullets in life, like jail or any type of trouble, or hardship they can not control. It makes you wonder are their parents them teaching them to have self control? Are they just picking it up in life? Or is a trait they already have ?

    1. Discussing likes, dislikes, and limitsprior to sexual exploration reduces the likelihood of miscommunication and misjudgingnonverbal cues.

      Communication is key when it comes to sex, like you have to know what your partner like and dislike. They may have things that aren't comfortable due to previous situations, or things that just dont like just because. Those things need to be discussed before becoming sexually active.

    2. We recommend safer-sex practices, such as condoms, honesty, andcommunication, whenever you engage in a sexual act.

    1. If partners listen and are enthusiastic about the good news of the other, they build a strongerrelationship.

      Listening and congratulating your partner is major. The support can build them up, and make them push harder because they know their partner supports them. It is always good to have someone in your corner.

    2. Intimacy hasbeen positively related with satisfaction in marriage

      Intimacy is definitely BIG in relationships. Lack of intimacy in marriages lead to divorce always. I feel like lack of intimacy weakens the bond between the couple. Then they become less attracted to each other, and start looking for the things they lack in the relationship from other people, which may lead to infidelity, then divorce.

    3. Some research suggests that people, onaverage, have more positive than negativeexperiences

      It all depends on the people, and how they interact in their relationship. Some experience more bad than they do good.

    4. compared human relationships to actualbank accounts—suggesting that every day we make deposits or withdrawals from ourrelationship accounts with each person in our lives

      Wow ! comparing relationships to bank accounts really does make sense. We make deposits in our bank accounts which makes it grow , or you can say stronger. When we withdraw from our bank account we hurt it. So the deposits we put into our relationships are positive things that helps the relationship grow, and when we do something to hurt the relationship we take from it which is the same as a withdrawl from a bank account.

      Not receiving love while you are younger, can damage you at an early age. It makes you wonder what you have done wrong why people dot love you, just numerous of things. But some are usually so young they dont even sense that they arent being loved. The absence of love can lead to stress, self harming, running away, anything. some often leave the enviroment they are in to find love in other places that may not be good for them.

    2. especially when the survival ofone individual depends on the presence and support of another.

      I think when you are used to being in the presence of the person you are in love with being without them takes a toll on you. You start to think about them, and wonder why they arent there, and that causes you to stress extremely.

    1. Thus, those who believe that breakups are physicallypainful are correct!

      I really don't think there is a easy way to break up with a person, like no break up is easy.

    2. . Further, thosenewly in love tended to show obsessive-compulsive tendencies

      when you are fresh into a new relationship your attachment starts over very strong, you always want to be around that person, and know their every move.

    3. commitment refersto the cognitive process and decision to commit to love another person and the willingnessto work to keep that love over the course of your life

      If you can't be committed in a relationship, then there is not a point in being in one. Committing is very big.

    1. ust being around someone or being repeatedlyexposed to them increases the likelihood that we will be attracted to them.

      I think the more you are around a person the more attracted to them you become. But i also think you have to be somewhat attracted to them when you first meet them. to continue coming around them.

    2. More attractive facial features include youthfulness,unblemished skin, symmetry, a facial configurationthat is close to the population average, andfemininity in women or masculinity in men, withsmaller chins, higher eyebrows, and smallernoses being some of the features that are morefeminine/less masculin

      The world mainly view the typical skinny fit women as attractive , or the man with the six packs and nice body. I think all women and men of any shape size , color are attractive people.

    3. What Makes a Person Attractive?

      I think personality, kindness, helpfulness, and being just yourself makes a person attractive . Looks or the clothes and things you wear don't make you an attractive person if you do not have a positive attitude to go with those nice things.

    4. More attractive people are perceived morepositively on a wide variety of traits, beingseen as more intelligent, healthy, trustworthy,and sociable.

      This goes to show how many people in the world, take people and their physical appearances, and give them extra characteristics. Just because a person is nice looking, shouldn't give the impression that they are automatically smart. Because looks are very deceiving. It is much easier for a person with good looks to be social, people who are not the best looking struggle because of how cruel the world is.

    1. When the role of one member of the family changes, so do the rules and expectations.

      In my family I was raised to help out wherever help was needed. We all had set roles, and chores but if one person couldn't get it done someone else should. We didn't just sit around and wait on the person to get it done. I have taken what i learned at home, and made it big in my college career.

    2. Traditional family hasbeen defined as two or more people whoare related by blood, m

      I don't just limit my family to the ones that I am kin to by blood. I consider my friends family, especially if I have known them for a long period of time. Even if I haven't known them long if the bond is there I still consider them family.
