Well in this day and age we're made more aware of those who are maybe on an offenders list and who isn't allowed to be near children at all, but I would say maybe a child at age 3/4/5. I'd prefer them to know the dangers of exposing themselves and even when undressing to change into other clothes such as a gym kit for school. You just never know and it's best to be safe than sorry! I found out that a teacher at my primary school (I was maybe about 10 at the time) but my teacher was very strange most days, he read us a book about a young character falling in love with an older character who was 105 due to a magic fountain- this is also what I questioned, he got aggressive in tone and attitude towards some of my classmates and I always thought there was something not quite right there... Anyway turns out he was caught by a younger student (8 years old) who had accidentally picked up the teachers phone and saw pictures of children from the school and other children on it. He also stalked a girl at my high school and sent her threats, eventually he was arrested and in the news report it was apparent that he'd given a false name, under which he could teach but the most worrying part was that he wasn't allowed to teach in my town but any other town was not mentioned so he can teach at other schools in other towns but is known to the police now! I find that shocking how it's not his full teaching career that's ruined what if that happened again!? So yeah I'd want my children to understand the dangers and to be aware of anything that feels wrong or uncomfortable! I'm also very against seeing too much flesh because straight away any heterosexual guy will feel instantly attracted in some way to revealing flesh and assets, it's a natural reaction which I feel can be or lead to dangerous situations and it might be that the girl is just on a night out and this is the one night she's dolled herself up but that doesn't mean she's safe from the intentions of attracted males! I don't like to see girls revealing themselves and over exposing their features, no good can come of it! How would you feel if that was your daughter, little sister, twin, cousin or friend would you try to persuade them; to look out for them or would you let them go out knowing someone somewhere could see this girl and have bad intentions towards her but you can't protect her not now. That will forever stick in your mind like a scarred memory always taunting at you, 'what if'. ?

It depends on the context of the situation, relationship or connection to this person, what mistake they've made repeatedly, whether they understand this mistake will not be forgiven again if repeated or whether they're taking advantage, there is certainly a lot to consider. I acknowledge that I can give people too many chances and this can hurt me in return, however sometimes I feel I do have to be spiteful to cut myself from the situation, stand back and say enough is enough if nothing has changed on their part. I often think of it as I can give you one or two chances which you will have to prove your efforts, time, dedication and reciprocate the equal priorities if not I start to get irritated and that's when I will frantically rant and rave until something is done or I just cut off from that person and situation! ☺️

Thank you for this question, its one that I can really answer! So as I child I had probably hundreds of thousands of toys and I played on my own most of the time (I think this is why I have such a vivid imagination!). Being on my own to play I guess I took things that I'd picked up on from my surroundings, movies, tv, nursery, school and family which I took into consideration through my role playing of themes and personality traits of my dolls when playing. When playing I grew a certain bond which the "made up/imaginary" characters is given my toys, this really stuck because I remember how I played and what character is created so it was always extremely difficult for me to give away toys that I'd spent my childhood creating characters for. To this day I still have quite a few of them either in the loft or in my cupboard etc but I don't think I can get rid of them because of the severe emotional attachment, not only that but when anything negative happened to that was my comfort and I guess it was a way that gave me reassurance, distractions and a sense of security. I don't think that could change because I have a lot of memories and to get rid of them would feel like my childhood was being ripped apart piece by piece. Also I'm a very emotional person and I can attach myself to things at times so I do find even that difficult which maybe is completely easy for others!???

When I was younger there were many ideas I had of what I'd like to be when I was grown up; a Disney princess, a spy, a book illustrator, fashion designer, shop keeper/assistant and someone who looks after children or those who are elderly or disabled, but when I got to the stage of having to pick I felt it was all to forced and it isn't as simple as when you're young and have all of these exciting ideas, I felt very lost and didn't know where to turn which has left me with no stable idea of what I'd like to do for a career. Being at school taught me that some subjects you'd have to take for certain jobs and I felt that the pressure was too much so I go by not being fussy and doing what I can to get somewhere. People keep telling me 'you're best to have or go to a job which you can enjoy otherwise you'll be miserable and hate it', which will probably lead to having negative impacts with your job and your life. So as I'm still learning about myself I'm just doing what I can to embrace ideas and keep in mind what I'd maybe be best suited too, which could benefit me. As you get older I think you do lose some of your imagination, best ideas and you kind of lose yourself with everything else going on I don't want to be like that though! ?

I don't like it, firstly because I'm not the same as those I am compared too maybe we have similarities but I'm completely different to accept being compared. Secondly some comparisons are insulting to people, when you compare two objects you tend to weigh up and compare the positives, negatives and in the sense of talking about humans you consider reputation and personality traits. Of course there will be similarities there but I'd like to learn more about myself as an individual and understand myself singularly than trying to copy or pretend to be something else that I'm not. I don't like to be compared to others mostly because I've not long started accepting my flaws and the positives that are there, so it's discouraging for me to want to compare myself when I've just spent quite a while trying to understand myself, who I am and how I identify myself as an individual! I think no matter what when you compare yourself to another object or person it won't make you happy because this other person will have or be a certain way which you aren't but recognise is liked by others and that compels you to want to change! I wouldn't encourage that because I've done that in the past and made myself very very unhappy and confused myself on what's truly there within myself. You should never cover up, overlay or hide your true self because although it's always there underlying the surface you'll start to lose that sense of your own background and identity of what makes you, you! ☺️✨

I've had severe acne and not long got it calmed down, I'm very happy with the appearance of my skin now- I do still get occasional spots but they're nothing compared to how bad my skin was before! For about 2-3 years I'd been going to the doctors about the state of my skin they got me to try using many many face creams and face washing products but none of them helped and I actually reacted very badly to the products. The doctor I'd seen I was in no way impressed with her manner was inappropriate, not understanding and she told me in front of my mum too, to keep using the products that were making me react. When I say react I mean my face was swollen, puffy eyes, swollen and cracked lips, burning sensations all over and it was almost scarring my skin! I was put on pills but they didn't have a great effect and when I got to see my registered doctor before he was retiring I was delighted that he was concerned about how severe it was and he referred me to hospital where I was prescribe high dosage pills with pretty severe side effects luckily I didn't get anything major and within a year of using that I saw a huge improvement and it's really done the trick for me I've not had any severe spots come back. I'm very grateful for that doctor he was the only doctor I couldn't see but when he was available before retiring he gave me the best solution and I'm so grateful that he took it seriously and noticed nothing was improving! If your acne ISN'T severe (you'll know if it is, if it covers your body etc.) I wouldn't recommend high dosage pills because it's a last resort medication for how severe the side effects are and how bad your skin is, however I found that sudocrem and simple face moisturiser helped keep my pores open to allow my skin to breathe and kept my skin feeling fresh. There's a lot of products which didn't work for me like that freederm and clearasil it made my skin worse, best thing to do is find which product or medication is right for you! ?

I've been waiting for someone to ask me this! ? So I have a really strange fascination with Fairies and Pixies, I claimed I used to see them dancing around gardens, woodlands and anywhere there was nature. I don't know what it is but I just really like them, it might be that I like the delicacy and daintiness of them, the way they're said to have magical abilities, they can fly with their little wings and they're just very pretty creatures. I also really like dragons again I'm not sure what it is but I like dragons over unicorns or mermaids that kind of thing. Maybe it's because in some perspectives of films, TV programs and books dragons are conveyed as being quite loyal creatures almost as though they sense human emotion. They fly, they are pretty huge and breathe fire, what's not to love? Also I relate to strange or weird beings so maybe that's why I like these mythical creatures! ☺️?✨

To be honest I find that I can't sit for long especially not with a book, I'm not keen on reading I don't have the patience and it's one of these activities I should enjoy but I just can't feel relaxed or get into it as much as others. My lecturer last year had the impression I was/ am a total book worm and was really shocked to find that actually I rarely read books! Out of the books I have read before I really loved the Magicians Nephew it's supposed to be set as the time before Narnia and this was how it was created apparently, but I didn't know this when I read it. I like that there were little illustrations which helped guide your imagination to what was going on. I really did enjoy that, I also enjoyed reading Nikki French's Until it's Over which strangely I did enjoy and felt more compelled to read on as the main character gets accused for murders which she was always at the crime scene of, if anyone wants to read it I won't spoil it for you! ... So to answer your question I'm really not sure because I'm not much of a reader. ?
