Will Aetna Insurance Cover a Stay at Timberline Knolls Treatment Center? I’m 16…?
Question by Jazlynn: Will aetna insurance cover a stay at Timberline Knolls treatment center? I’m 16…?
I was depressed when I was in middle school and my parents never knew because it wasn’t extreme. I fight with my parents more than what seems normal for a teen. I have ADHD. I don’t self harm or have an eating disorder. I am just depressed and have a lot of issues deeper than I can figure out. Recently something happened over facebook that caused my parents to have to talk to my school counsilers and they make me go to them and talk each week at school now. they suggested that i get outside help but I want to try to get completely away for a while and try to get better. I have severe mood swings. I get angry very fast over the stupidest things. I barely even talk to my parents. I am defiant against pretty much 99% of the things they say. I don’t give a crap about school. I just need help. How do I get them to let me go out of state too? I live in another state that Illinois. I have a lot of inside issues that i can’t understand and deal with alone and I don’t think just talking is going to make it better. I need to get away to feel better.
I also only have one coping mechanism and it’s music. I have to be listening to music to deal with things in the moment. Like when things are bad at home I just put my ipod on loud and headphones in and ignore everything around me. I believe that if I go away that my life could change for the better. It’s not easy as a teen. In fact, it has been proven teens have it harder today than back in the day.
Should Marijuna Be Legalized??? Why or Why Not?
Question by Jessica R: Should Marijuna be legalized??? Why or why not?
And please don’t say it is a gateway drug…The gateway drug is already legal and that is alcohol. There aren’t any potheads that smoked before they drank and there aren’t any crackheads that smoked crack before they got drunk.

Answer by msi_cord
I see no benefit to making it legal. Unless you can show that there is a benefit to changing the law, it should not be changed.
