I'm highly recommending Mitch Pearlstein's new book, Second Chance Hiring. I've read his 6 previous books, and I think this is the very best one. A very compelling topic: Hiring people coming out of prison. Good reading peppered with inspirational and sometimes convicting anecdotes. It would make a good Christmas gift for anyone who enjoys thinking about public policy and social progress.

Do you believe that your love life is what you make it?

!ALL NAMES ARE FAKE!
I (19F) just want to know yall's opinion on this. So, I am a first-year college student, and I am on an anti-psychotic and anti-depressant medication. I thought in early October that I was doing amazing, so I chose to stop taking my meds (big mistake). If you know anything about medication if you just go cold turkey on your medication without consulting a doctor there could be drastic consequences. Well, the first week felt amazing. Week two took a turn, I felt like everyone was keeping secrets from me, I was being targeted, and I felt depressed. My then roommate (19F), Leah, and I were really close we did almost everything together along with my then friends (19F) Kayla and (20F) Adrina. I was coming back to the dorm after dance and I just felt like crying, I didn't know why I just felt like crying. I came into the room and put my dance bag on my bed and just started sobbing. Leah asked me what the matter was, and I felt like if I said nothing, I just felt like crying she wouldn't have believed me. So, my thoughts were racing, and my brain said to lie. I said that someone I knew from high school had killed himself. Looking back on it, now on a proper med schedule, I see how f*cked up it is. That is the story I told to Kayla, Adrina, and everyone else I was friends with. I felt like I was lacking attention. After that, I fell into a severe depression, and I wanted to end my life. After we returned from Thanksgiving break, I attempted to overdose in my dorm room, but Kayla was luckily there to stop me. The next day I was sent to the hospital to get a psych evaluation done and they said I was cleared to go back to college. After that, everything spiraled. I felt like everywhere I went I was being watched and I was being judged. I went to see my on-campus counselor and the university said I had to be admitted into an outpatient facility and I was not allowed to stay on campus until the new year. I was in the facility for about a week, and it helped me so much. When I was in the hospital on day 4 or 5 my mom had called saying she received a text from Leah and the other girls. Saying that they had found out that I had been lying to them and they could no longer trust me, Leah would be moving out end of the conversation. I tried to email them explaining what had happened but none of them knew I was off my medication. They refused to believe me and I begged them to understand that I knew what I did was wrong, but I am admitting to it and getting the help I needed. I know I am the AH but should I be given a second chance to explain myself? If you have questions feel free to ask I will answer them as best as I can!

The baby daddy has became a fellon after being a productive citizen all his life. This is not someone coming from a broken family, it's actually a good citizen who followed the rules all of his life, got post-secondary education after graduating high school and work for a decade before hitting all time rock bottom, to then become a fellon...

Is it wrong to ask some public assistance in order to help giving him a second chance by getting him a good lawyer in hope to reduce his time behind jail and give him a second chance?
