I have a really long neck and have been wanting to do something about it but don't know what to do and I was wondering if i could get a few tips from y'all about what step to take next. I feel very insecure about this. I tried looking it up on google but i couldn't find it. is it genetics?

I'm afraid so. I had an aunt who had such a long neck her nickname was "Gander." I know of no way to remove any discs or whatever to bring it down. I suppose you could ask a plastic surgeon, though, to make absolutely sure.

The best way would be to get advice about what kind of shirts/tops to wear--or even try on different things in front of a store mirror and see for yourself what works best!

i hope you don't mind, but i briefly looked at your profile and i saw that you're a social psychologist. so let me ask you something. How can I get off my shameful teenage addictions?

yeah i mean porn. I have been watching porn since I was 14 and now I'm 17. I can't believe the years flew by so fast. I have tried a lot of things for help, but nothing seemed to work so I lost hope. I lost hope in god. I thought that if i let nature take its course then I would be able to withstand it much better. Well turns out things are just the same, only now the void is not so big anymore. I hear many miraculous stories about how people have been saved and everything, well every time I get back up, I fall into it again. What's the point? Don't teenagers usually outgrow their addictions once they hit 18 or something? I honestly want to get rid of my computer and my internet but not until another year. I wish I can but since my parents own it, i just can't throw it away. All I wish I can do is get one of the phone jacks fixed so that I can put it out in the living room so that my parents can actually see me doing what I'm doing so that I won't have to live like this in secret. I can't do this anymore. I am here to bring out the real me. I wish I never discovered pornography. Accidental porn ruins it all. What's worse is that it comes with a lot of shame and guilt. and when I don't feel guilty, I feel like I have to make myself feel ashamed. I feel like someone should punish me for the things i did, or punish myself so that I can just compensate for all the loss that I have incurred upon myself. False shame and guilt again and again. Most of the time I'm alone at home. My parents leave me at home and I hardly go out because I have no idea where to meet my friends and where they live so we can schedule an appointment together outdoors.
all i need is to be able to go out again into the real world on weekends. I have realized that this is the problem that's been plaguing me for years. When I'm outdoors I am less likely to watch pornography. now that I've seen so many, I feel like they're not worth it and are telling me lies.

I need to tell you that social psychologists don't specialize in giving advice in how to get off porn. However, that said, I have read enough about this issue to make a few observations.

First of all, alas, this addiction is not one that tends to diminish just because someone is getting older. I am glad, though, that you see it's all a sham and not realistic. Debbie doesn't even actually "do Dallas." I find it sad that it has become so popular and even accepted as okay by some aspects of society.

You're right that getting out of the house and getting your mind on other things is a great way to avoid it. I'm assuming you don't want to tell your parents about it, so they could get rid of the way to access the porn channels.

If you have any of your own magazines or videos, then get rid of them.

How about posting this question in the addiction forum to see what other folks suggest?
