Uhhhhhh....because being healthy is excruciatingly important? And and being overweight can cause plenty of life-threatening illnesses...and you really don't need a health class, it isn't rocket science to figure out how to be healthy:
1.don't eat fast food or other unhealthy stuff
2.exercise regularly
3.don't do drugs
I don't eat that healthy and I'm still skinny as heck, however I don't eat fast food anymore because it's absolutely grotesque. And I sure as heck don't exercise and I've never done drugs before.
Got lucky I guess....
I'm not saying people shouldn't criticize someone about not eating healthy and not exercising.
I said they shouldn't say "It's your fault" to someone for having a chronic illness that is absolutely not caused by unhealthy eating habits or lack of exercise. People shouldn't just assume that every single illness that exists is solely caused by unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. There are illnesses that people who have completely healthy diets and exercise habits can get!
That was my point.
The example I provided was a young woman who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia that was not caused by an unhealthy life style, and she had been ill with meningitis last year. Meningitis is an infection that can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, most certainly not poor diet or lack of exercise.
And yet some people have blamed her for having chronic illness, saying "Maybe if you would eat healthy and exercise, you wouldn't be so sick!"
She does eat healthy, and she regularly exercises.
I think you should have read my post more carefully.
As for people having a tendency to be ignorant about health...
Like I said in my post, there are people who don't know that there's more than one type of diabetes, and having a horribly unhealthy diet is not the only way you can end up with diabetes. There are people who will criticize and bash other people for having diabetes without first stopping to find out whether or not it's actually that person's fault.
Hey, there are apparently some few people out there who, for some odd reason, think they can "catch" diabetes.
There are also people who horribly underestimate allergies and somehow don't know that some allergies, like peanut allergy, can result in death if not treated immediately.
One of the biggest offenders? People who don't understand how vaccines work and think that things like vaccines, vitamin shots, and booster shots are poison. These people refuse to let doctors administer these shots to their children, which leaves their child's health at serious risk, all because of their ignorance. Not stupidity, ignorance.
There are still people who think simply becoming cold, as in temperature, will give you a cold, as in the illness.
*Sigh* The common cold is caused by a virus, not from you becoming too cold.
And no, antibiotics are not a proper treatment for a cold. You know why? Because antibiotics treat bacterial infections, not viral ones. They don't do a thing against viruses. But there are people who want to give their children antibiotics for every little viral infection they get.
And for goodness sake, people should realize that doctors tell them things for a reason. If your doctor tells you that you should not eat or drink anything after midnight before your surgery, do not eat or drink anything after midnight! Do you think they told you that just to be cruel? No! Don't eat or drink anything before your dang surgery! But there are some people who ignore their doctor when told that. Those people are lucky that it's not very professional for a doctor to greet you with "I told you so! "
TL;DR: Basically, I meant the kind of ignorance about health that leads people to do stupid things, bash people when it's not their fault they're sick, and have stupid misconceptions.

Looks like the USA has begun a course toward legalizing all marriage nationwide. Good. I'll be glad to see more of our orphans being placed in financially stable households.

Private education. Need I say more? Really, my mom spent tens of thousands of dollars sending me to a private school form 5th to 8th grade. She should have saved her money. I had to beg her to let me go to public high school and I'm glad I got her to cave. State education is about the student and only the student. Private education is about profits first and the student second. The private school I went to cut corners to save money and had fundraising events every 5 minutes to raise more. Yet now my niece is talking about putting money away to fun my great nephews private education...why?
Americans seem to have this preconceived notion that more expensive = better. Guess what...it's not. Private schools follow the same curriculum as public schools, except for religious courses (I went to a catholic school). The educational value is the same. The only difference is the bill.
You're paying for state education whether you use it or not, anyway. Paying taxes toward state education and then paying for private school would be like paying more toward healthcare in taxes than any other country in the world and still having to buy private health insurance. Oh wait...

Whyyyyyyy.....
We clearly have a very different definition of the term 'need'
Also with enough of an income to spend on fashion gadgets (admit it Apple fans, thats what it is) you may want to consider contributing to the household supporting you right now.
Then again its your money, whatever makes you happy, long as you dont make anyone else unhappy in the progress.

I'm just.. So paranoid it makes it really hard to be friends with people IRL..
When I'm with people hanging out I'm always asking myself doubting questions and falling behind.
Sometimes I'll accidentally look really depressed and someone will ask me if I'm alright and of course I have to answer "Oh. yeah. I'm fine."
I don't know if I have anxiety or just paranoia. It's.. Terrifying.

People still purchase music?
Of course! Gotta support your favorite artists!
You can listen to anything for free on youtube. The artists get advertisement revenue.
Not when their videos don't have ads!
Anyway, that doesn't really matter... Usually I just use certain websites to download the audio from YouTube videos or SoundCloud uploads in HD quality, for free... But I wanted to support this guy! He deserves it!
