    I can’t believe you would say such a thing. My brother was in a car accident when he was in high school and it left him in a coma. The doctors told us he would never come out of the coma, and if he did he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life. They wanted us to pull the plug on him, but we refused. He finally came out of the coma 6 months later, on Christmas Day 1988, and he was left quadraplegic. He had to be in a nursing home for quite some time, but from that nursing home he went back to school. He finished High School in regular and special edclasses. His graduation was one of the proudest days of my life. It was the first time I saw him walk. He walked across the stage to get his diploma. While he was going to school he was going to therapy also. He was working so hard to do all this. Today, 14 years later, he can talk and walk (with a walker). So all of the money spent on special ed is not wasted in the slightest. That is only one example of this. There are so many others in this world. I don’t know where you have been working but it sounds like you need to pay a little bit more attention.

    I have been smoking since I was a teen and I am almost 28.Nobody (my children or husband understands why I can’t quit.When i met my husband he was smoking but he quit just like that.It is an addiction and it is soothing when I am stressed which is quite often.You also get into the habit of lighting up at certain times like first thing in the mornig or after a meal.
