It gets better
[Read the article: A fellow law student broke my nose and joked about it on Facebook]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear LW:
Like high school and junior high, law school sucks for the 90% who are not in the "in" crowd. It gets better later. The world is tiny when you're in school. It explodes in size later.
Also, people in law school are often absolutely nuts. People who you'll be around in the real world will tend to have learned to control the crazy.
Also, every law school group has its scandal. There's not much else to do, ya know?
The folks who you work with, especially when you're out of school, are the ones who matter. They don't show off by breaking people's noses. They live in the world you will soon join -- a place that does not have room for the crazy.
That said, I think Cary is silly here. Yes, you were wronged and a crime was committee, etc. But pressing charges or suing now, will not make them understand what they have done wrong. It would just make you look irrational. You're still in the land of crazy. Nobody understands that world but those who have lived there, and the vast majority who have lived there do everything in their power to forget the crazy. For those of us on the outside, law school is the big, stinking, bleeding, shit-covered elephant in the pantry we'd rather not see.
But worry not. It gets better. A lot better. Soon.

What Love Is
[Read the article: It has been 10 months and he still won't say "I love you"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear LW:
The words you script for him to say to you are only as important as you make his saying them.
You write that your relationship with him is wonderful in every respect, except he won't say the words you try to shove into him mouth. And so you throw a fit to him about those silly words. You overlook all the wonderful things is, the delightful things he does, and you stop hearing all the words he crafts to say to you. You insist on focusing on what he does not say. You're being controlling and unfair to him.
And when you dry your eyes and look past your own insecurities, you see he's still there with you. That's what is important, that's what's real. After your own mind stops warring, he's there, and the wonderful relationship you have with him is there, too. You can't script that.

Check his diet
[Read the article: Is my kid a jerk, or is he just 2?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yea, your kid sounds pretty bad. Setting aside consequences, etc., you might want to examine his diet. There's some evidence that some foods, dyes, additives, preservatives, etc. may trigger bad behavior in some children. He might also have an allergy of which you're unaware.
Good luck.

#4
[Read the article: The fatal flaw in McCain's mortgage plan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If #4 is an option -- modification of the terms of individual mortgages, on a mortgage-by-mortgage basis -- then I fail to see the so-called "fatal flaw" in McCain's "plan." In other words, if Congress could authorize someone in the judicial branch to modify mortgages, Congress could also authorize someone in the executive branch to modify mortgages.
Whether McCain is serious about helping individual homeowners, or whether he has become willing to tell whatever line necessary to improve his chances in this election, is another matter.
