First of all, you're a MAN (so you say).\n\nGirl Guide - A member of the Girl Guides, a British organization of young women and girls founded in 1910.\n\nYou can find out more information at:\n\nhttp://www.girlguides.ca/default.asp\n\nHere are the bylaws of the group:\n\nhttp://www.girlguides.ca/default.asp?id=916\n\nMaybe try finding a guy's group or man's group instead.  ;-)

Wow. My intial reaction to the main question was "{chuckle} If there is, let me know where to find one...."\n\nBut seriously, from what you're saying, this is not just a matter of a support group. You're talking about potentially criminal and/or tortious behavior and threats by them. You may want to think about speaking with an attorney to find out if you should take legal action.

You will need an attorney and he will have to obtain a warrant to exhume a body.If you suspect this is racial notify the office of civil rights.I just looked at the web site and i am horrified that any man could be beaten by the cops like that.I emailed the lawyer to see how i could help.I feel so sorry for your family.I lost a daughter in dec.2005 unexpectedly and I know how they feel.I am going to email the district attorney in Harrison county.So sorry

They can't ask anything related to age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or disabilities:\n\nIllegal questions\nSome questions are illegal for an employer to ask before a conditional offer of employment. According to the Minnesota Human Rights Act, at Minnesota Statutes, section 363.03, subdivision 1(4)(a), these may include the following questions:\n\nExamples of illegal questions \nWhat is your age or date of birth?  \nWhat is your sexual orientation? \nWhat church do you attend? \nWhat is your national origin?  \nWhat is your maiden name?  \nWhat is your marital status (Circle one: Ms, Mrs., or Miss)?  \nAre you widowed, divorced, or separated?  \nWhat is or was your spouse's name and/or job?  \nHave you ever filed a workers' compensation claim?  \nDo you have any physical impairments or disabilities that would prevent you from performing the job for which you are applying?

Okay.  Just add to the details next time, okay?\n\nShe fit the requirements.  Actually she fit both requirements.  She was in her seventies, and she had a mental illness.  62 or over, and disabled.  Everybody deserves to live somewhere.  Where would you suggest the mentally ill live?\n\nI'm sorry about your disability, but I don't think it's right of you to act as though you're "more disabled" than someone with a mental illness (it sounds like you just have very little understanding of mental illness).\n\nShe may "know what she's doing" and she may also be a stalker, but that doesn't mean she understands how wrong it is, and what the consequences are, so it's not like she can be arrested and convicted for it.  It's more likely the management couldn't do much about it than that they "covered it up".\n\nI'm getting your frustration, and if you get any more nudie neighbors, call management, but for now, be happy Old Lady Pullsupskirt is no longer your neighbor.

So, since I'm gay, and apparently that means I'm mentally handicapped...Do I get to use those freakin' awesome parking spaces that are so close to the entrance of most stores?  Like walmart.  Damn, parking sucks there.  I could so use this on them.  Eee!  I'm excited!\n\nIt really is a bunch of BS, and goes to show how anti-gay our military really is.  Next thing you know, they'll say it's a contagious mental disease, and they'll say they don't want all of the army turning gay, having sex instead of fighting, and leaving all their families back home.  Ah well.  At least I win in the end, with my awesome parking spaces.

I'm guessing you're older..\n\nIf so, and the guy friend is too, then you need to get his friends to tell him that just wasn't cool and was completely inappropriate.\n\nIf you weren't there, don't get involved. It's best to let the witnesses handle the situation.

Well Anthony: Aside from the fact that you are using the same name as I am and the fact that you are only 14 - I will abstain from making any adverse comment/s on this insight into your "troubled" past. \nYou seem to me to have expressed a need or desire to get these incidents out into the open for whatever reason and that is admirable - I hope that you feel better for doing so.\nLet's just hope you have matured enough to not to make the same mistakes again and work your way to becoming an effective member of your community. Good luck oh name sake of mine.

I hope this is a joke.  You need to be careful.  You don't know who any of these guys are and you could be asking for trouble.

you can be certain that if you do that and he has already complied with the mandates you are going to have attorneys from the ACLU, and multiple other organizations fighting for the right to dignity. do you know all of the facts? Or just what you have been told. Who the hell are you are you male or female? If you are male I would be careful you might be the next one getting out in 2 weeks 20 years down the road.

You are out of luck without a lawyer.\n\nCoach

I can't believe only one person came up with:\n\n"How did you sign a contract agreeing to anything when you were under the age of 18?"\n\nIt's not valid.\n\nAnd, I don't think there's any good chance of anybody recognising you.\n\nBut.\n\nThe answers with "call the store manager, and explain" are not too far off the mark. What you want to say is:\n\n"I know I was stupid at the time and it's not a mistake I've made since then."\n\nI shoplifted a bit of junk when I was 13, on a lark; got caught, got "banned" from that mall, and -- well, that was my first go at it -- and now? I'd forgotten all about it until your question.\n\nWhat you signed is not a valid contract. And, from the sounds of it, not enforceable under any common law. Just go back.\n\nTop job on never stealing again...!

sounds like the courts need to be involved. call the civil rights office in your city....time for the illegal and unethical practices to be called on the table. you will feel frightened to take this step, but your courage will help so many others. Most of the things you have mentioned are illegal. if there are others who notice these things and agree they are wrong, you can file a class action lawsuit. go for it!

It clearly states "under 16".\n\nYou are not under 16.\n\nJust make sure you have your ID on you for his sake.
