I gotta hand it to you Cullen. You should be proud of your little series here. Good stuff.

That was the same way with me when there used to be a website called YesterdayLand. You found some cool people (some ended up here, like Katzi428, Xerus) to bond with. However, the trolls found their way in as well. (One member who caused a lot of grief here who is thankfully banned). In school...

Well then I must have beaten the odds. I was bullied from third to fifth grade. And after I stood up to my bully and decked him, nobody ever bothered me again. As far as I know, he never picked on anyone else either. I was the textbook target for bullies. The skinny nerdy kid with buck teeth and...

At the same time as the Brady Bunch Hour Robbie Rist was in a Saturday morning sitcom called "Big John Little John". Herb Edelman played Big John, a 40 year old science teacher, who drank from the Fountain of Youth. At the most inopportune moments, he would shrink into 12-year-old Little John...

I never bought into that either. Bullies are still pathetic picking on others out of sheer meanness or cruelty. Which made it all the more satisfying when one bully who picked on me got his clock cleaned- by me. His black eye gave him a painful reminder who he was dealing with. If you're big...

You can't always believe what people post in their profiles on Facebook. They'll make you want to believe everything is all roses in their life. Their 2.6 children never give them any problems, they never argue with their spouse, their boss never gets on their case, and the good times will go on...

There's no excuse for anybody hating you (or your mother) for your race. But you have to expect that from ignorant people. The best you or anybody can do is pray for God to soften their hearts. I'm glad you're still here after your suicide attempt. That proves you have a reason for being here...

People seem to be fed up with politics as usual. Senator Obama (I address him that way since that was the last government post he legitimately held) is so delusional to think he's done a great job at reducing government spending and unifying Americans... and his flawless Iran deal. Trump comes...

We'll see if this tragedy will surface at all in tonight's debate. All eyes seem to be on Trump whether he'll put his foot in his mouth or actually offer a solution to some problems.

Walter is okay, and I'm happy he made Peter Linz more recognizable. Not everybody is going to like the same things as you (not everybody likes the same things as me, either, and I don't expect them to). There will always be trolls out there saying savage things just to get a rise out of people...

No, what I meant was, I've been to a number of functions where various Sesame people showed up. And some parents had 4 and 5-year-olds in tow. In the advertising for such events, they're very specific which performers or cast members would be there. And even though I've only been to one where...

Nice reference to Roger Miller's "King of the Road". That's the thing about street scenes before YouTube came along. If you missed them back then, you'd probably never see them again. They wouldn't get rotated like Muppet inserts, cartoons, songs, etc. Which makes them all the more special...

You took a huge step coming out of your shell. You should be proud. Taking a few risks is necessary in life. If you have big dreams, want to make an impact, you can't let fear stand in your way. That's wonderful your crush turned into a solid friendship (and it might not necessarily be over...

Chances are he'll have Oscar with him. Some kids, at the age of 4 or 5, might be wondering "Where's Elmo?", then you got some explaining to do. If your kids are familiar with Oscar, then yes. If not, it might be more of a crapshoot. I met Caroll last year, and I've met plenty of Sesame people...

Too many. Anything Joe Raposo wrote was worth its weight in gold. All the animal films he scored, Roosevelt Franklin, the end is listless. But one track from 1970 that's held my grip for all these years- "Someday Little Children". Susan sang it on the second Sesame LP, and once or twice on the...

Very good article. I hope that channeling your feelings through your writing makes things easier for you. Your boyfriend and Abuela are there to love you unconditionally. Some of us here give you empathy because we fought the same battles. You have the desire to express yourself in your...

People's use of slurs- ethnic, religious, sexual, etc.- stems from two human weaknesses: fear and ignorance. Simple as that.

The Frog and The Ox. A prideful boastful little frog, trying to become the biggest creature on earth, inflates himself until he explodes. Years later I found out this was an Aesop's Fable, and Sesame even produced a series of Fable cartoons (The Fox and the Grapes, etc.) But with no frame of...

I'm no stranger to depression either. It does seem easier to keep things bottled up or to try to reach out to people who really can't help us. There's nothing to be ashamed of for asking for help. Some are reluctant to do so because they think it's a sign of weakness. It actually takes more...

That must suck to be in pain, or to feel really sick, and your family doesn't care about how you feel? I've spent enough time in hospitals and know that's not a fun place to begin with. To be cooped up for any length of time and not feeling well doesn't help any. But if your family can't give...
