Personal: First, I have to admit: I do not care about anyone's legal sexual preference. Let me re-iterate myself: I do not care about anyone's legal sexual preference. If a person is suffering under the hand of an oppressor, I care. If anyone is going to be in a relationship with someone agreeing to be with them together in the ways of their choosing to be together then be and be happy. I'm not even going to be the last person to judge you.

Second, everyone is capable of finding an agreeing partner concerning forward progressions of their choice relationship within reasonable range of their age and the laws under which all abide. People should stay out of the way of agreeing relationships that are not meant to satisfy them but the parties of the agreeing relationship: let people in their agreeing relationships enjoy their agreeing relationship: live your life and leave people alone.

Third, abuse is terrible for anyone to suffer especially abuse unknown to others which a person has to live with for the rest of their life. Alive and well: Whitney Houston is a phenomenal singer. The film Whitney shows the different forms of abuse which Whitney Houston experiences for herself due to her acceptance of life while suffering from abuse in her childhood. As an adult, Whitney Houston seems to be constantly attempting to find her way into adulthood. In the latter moments of the film, Whitney Houston seems to find her way home though doesn't seem to realize that home is the very place with all of the sentiments she needs to dissect to accurately assess aspects of home she needs to leave behind.

Leaving home is not running away. As one grows, one must develop their ideas concerning ideal homes-against and away from the ideals of homes set by opining acquaintances, friends, parents, or any other factor outside of their self. At times, there is an awkward longing for individuals to want to hold on to their places of origin, and-like abuse, no one knows the affecting developments of those places on an individual which may be detrimental to an individual's developments.

Fourth, alcohol and drugs are not the answers-not even a part of them. Addictive behaviors are not incorrigible-but-the best advice is to never begin practicing the habits at all. Being around individuals which encourage these behavioral habits may be extremely detrimental to one's developments and may mentally create blockades for any individual attempting to completely re-adjust their behavioral patterns so as to develop better behavioral patterns. There is no mask for avoiding one's problems that actually works: anyone having to deal with any personal problems has to recognize and confront themselves on their best ways to move forward so as to improve and succeed. A most important development is in one's ability to embrace life and move away from all which is seemingly too familiar that deters profitable-positive-uplifting self-and-professional growth.

Family members and family friends are not always the best for a developing person even after one develops their own family systems away from any detrimental designs of their experiences during their upbringing. One must be well-aware of influencing factors that have been in their life so as to better navigate their future. Remember-in many instances, the decision to save oneself may only find fulfillment from the individual in need of help, and developing one's life does not stop after one finds their self progressing well in better avenues of life away from the detrimental aspects from moments of their earlier life. Growth is a never ending process and life begs for individuals to grow in the best ways accessible to them so as to continue improving their positive-profitable-uplifting progressions so as to establish better future developments for their selves as well as for others that may follow suit.

Fifth, children need protection. A child does not always have the greatest instinctual depth of understanding that may be useful in protecting them especially at a vulnerable young age in the presence of adults. The fact that negative-repulsive-vile adults seeking and practicing negative-repulsive-vile behaviors against children in light of a child's vulnerable state exist is vastly disturbing. No child should experience negative-repulsive-vile behaviors from anyone.

Overall: 9.145/10.
