Tips to Raising Independent Children
I liken newborns to birds because they often mimic their behavior at birth. As the mama bird, I feel it is my duty to give my lil chippers their wings to fly so they can become positive members of our society.

Group Therapy: I Need to Find Myself

Group Therapy: He's My World, but It's Driving Me Crazy
My boyfriend and I have been dating for roughly a year and a half. We both lived in the same student building when we met, so when we started dating I naturally began spending more and more time in his room, until I had "unofficially" moved in. At the end of term when it was time to look into finding a group of people to get a house with for the following year, it just seemed natural that he and I should live together — we reasoned that if we didn't live together one of us would wind up spending the majority of our time at the other's house.
Dear Quiz: Are You Independent?

Dear Sugar,
I just graduated from high school this past May and am currently living from home, but since then, I feel like everything has gone downhill. Most of my friends have moved away to go to school and I still live at home. I attend an amazing university, but still, I can't help but feel depressed.
Dear Poll: Are you Attached at the Hip?
When you're in a relationship, do you like to do everything with your significant other? Do you like to exercise with him, go shopping with him, even sun bathe with him? Or do you like to be more independent -- would you rather come home at the end of the day with stories for him or surprise him with that new top you bought?

You Asked: Am I Intimidating to Men?
DearSugar --
My friends tell me because I am successful, have my own money, etc., that I am intimidating to men, and thus why I can't find a date. I don't believe this! I am cool, very approachable and easy to talk to.
