Question by Katie D: What are some good teen books about disorders?
I read the book “Cut” but Patricia McCormick, “Perfect” By Natasha Friend, and I’m reading “Massive” by Julia Bell.

What are some other good ones about mental/personality disorders?

Even if they’re not teen books, I want some good ones.

Answer by Cheyenne
Go Ask Alice is a really good book. Its about a young girl with drug addictions. Its really emotional. And probably not anything like you would think. But, I won’t ruin the story line.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is also really good. Its a bit disturbing, though, in some points.
I reccomend The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, as well.

Question by **Hannah**: i am writing a add for a rehab center in florida,does this line make sence voted best rehab in new york states?

Best answer:

Answer by thecharleslloyd
It is possible.

Answer by Armchair Goddess #1
“Sense” and capitalize the word “Florida” as a proper noun. The word “ad” is short for “advertisement” and there should be a period (.) used after the word “Florida.” Then the “d” for “does” should be capitalized as the first word of a new sentence, followed by a colon (:) after the word “sense” (not sence), after which you can place the words of your ad. Instead of using the word “best” without defining, I’d suggest the possibility of using “most effective”…”[Name of Rehabilitation Center] has been voted the most effective rehab in New York.” [If true, this would be an acceptable endorsement.]

Question by Cesaria Barbarossa – 40K: How do you feel about Tiger and Jesse making infidelity an addiction problem that needs treatment, not scorn?
Also forgot Eric Benet, Halle Berry’s ex-husband who said he had a sex addiction and went ot treatment after cheating.

What do you think about this new trend that infidelity should be looked at as signs of an addiction that needs treatment. Does this give infidelity less of a stigma if it’s treated as a psychological problem, moreso than a problem of selfishness and lack of self-control?

Do you think this would fly in “real life?”

Best answer:

Answer by Caroline
Even though I was a psych major in college, I’d like to think I’m also a realist. Sex addiction, like alcoholism or drug addiction, may very well be a “condition” but I personally think no-one held a gun to Tiger’s head, he knew what he was doing, he certainly knew the possible consequences, and he CHOSE to do it anyway. And to me, a sex addict doesn’t create relationships, such as they are, like Tiger and Jesse did with their “other women”. So I think it’s complete BS. I feel sorry for the wives in all of those cases. I was cheated on by a boyfriend and it was totally humiliating so I can only imagine how Sandra, etc. feel because their humiliation is splashed all over the front page. Yea, they need treatment. With a Louisville Slugger. Jerks.

Answer by ♫ Mad Luv ♫
I think they should seek help for themselves I don’t think the act of doing that fixes anything tho.
