You Asked: I Am Overwhelmed
Dear Sugar,
I have more than I ever imagined at this point in my life — I'm a student at a prestigious university, where I'm captain of a varsity sport, I volunteer with children on the weekends, I have the best boyfriend, and my relationships with my parents are better than ever, but I'm terribly unhappy.
When I was younger, my family didn't have a lot of money, which put stress on my parents and me. The need for a comfortable, stable income has always been my motivation to work hard.
You Asked: Do I Stay or Do I Go?
Dear Sugar--
Weeks after finishing college I landed a job for one of the world's biggest companies. It was incredible and 8 months on, I'm still pinching myself. However, the transition from the breezy student life, to the grueling work days where I get home well after 7:30 pm are starting to take their toll.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got a letter on Tuesday from Project on Government Oversight (POGO), and I’m sure she didn’t like what she saw.

Mexico's Supreme Court May Overturn Abortion
Today Mexico’s Supreme Court is deliberating on whether or not to overturn the 2007 law that legalized abortion in Mexico City.
Primarily meant to help the city’s poorest women, who had received one too many botched abortions at illegal clinics, the law has been met with unrelenting resistance in the Catholic country. Eighty-five percent of gynecologists have declared themselves conscientious objectors, and hospital staff members have been reported as hostile and demeaning, creating unnecessary impediments for women.
You Asked: Am I Being Taken Advantage of?
Dear Sugar--
My boss is getting married next month, and while I am extremely happy for her, I feel like she has completely dumped all her work on me, not to mention taking off for a three week honeymoon! I have been waiting to get promoted at work for months now and while I am totally willing to pick up the slack around the office, I feel like I am completely being taken advantage of. It just seems so unfair that she gets to take so much time off just because she is getting married.

Democratic Staffers Too Tired For General Election?
The long Democratic campaign is taking a toll on underpaid, and overworked campaign staffers. This campaign of attrition has made history in two ways: it started earlier than ever, and is lasting longer than ever. Not wanting to concede any fatigue, Obama and Clinton staffers push themselves to work at full speed, sometimes not taking even one day off in months.
You Asked: I'm Not Wanting Sex
Dear Sugar,
I have been dating my boyfriend for two years. Ten months of it was long distance - way long distance between the US and Europe. He has been back in the US for about four months, and I just started graduate school and he hates his job.
