Sexually charged behavior of 5 year old- inappropriate?
This is my first question here, and I'm hoping I will get some insightful answers. This will be lengthy and I apologize, but please allow me to explain the situation in full. I am 23 and am currently visiting my brother and sister- in- law for a couple of weeks. They have a five year old son who is a wonderful child, and generally very enjoyable to be around. However, a couple of days after I arrived, I was looking through my suitcase up in the guest bedroom when my nephew entered and closed the door behind him. I greeted him and he asked, "Want to play grown ups?" I said sure and asked him how you play. He started out by telling me we needed to go to the grocery store, preapre dinner, do the laundry. I went along with the game. Then he said it was "time to go to bed" and motioned for me to lie next to him on the floor. I obliged, not thinking anything of it, until he reached under my blouse and touched my breast. I quickly removed his hand and sat up but tried to remain calm as I know he's just a small child. I told him that was not at all appropriate and that it makes people feel very uncomfortable when they are touched in a private area, and to never do that to anyone again. He apologized to me, and then told me not to tell his parents because it would make his mommy cry if I did. Later in the evening, I did end up mentioning what happened to my sister-in-law, just to get her take on it and to make sure I had handled the situation appropriately since he is her child. She became very upset, and told me that this was very troubling because over the past several months this kind of thing has been an ongoing problem. He has been reprimanded twice at school for inappropriate touching of little girls. One incident was a kiss on the lips (that the little girl did not consent to apparently) which is probably rather innocent, but the second incident was his touching another little girl between the legs (also against the girl's will). He has an eight year old sister who has complained of having her nightgown lifted by my nephew even after repeated protestations from her. He has been told over and over and over again by teachers and his parents that acting on these body curiosities that he's having is just not appropriate and must be curbed. I completely understand that children will indeed explore things like this, but when does that type of behavior become excessive? I was compelled to ask for advice after playing with him alone again today. This time he told me we were going to play "boyfriend and girlfriend" and I told him that would be a silly game for us to play, because I am his aunt. He got off the topic and we began playing "superheroes" instead, but at one point during the game he approached me, took my face in his hands and pressed his open mouth against mine in a shockingly suggestive manner. I again tried to keep my composure and I told him that he cannot kiss me that way, that children and adults don't kiss each other that way. He responded with, "But I didn't touch your private parts this time." Perhaps I am over-reacting to this because I don't have children of my own, and I'm not a child psychologist, but his response very much alarmed me. He seems to have a very keen awareness of the impropriety of his behavior, but continues to do it anyway, and even begs me not to tell on him. I don't know what to say to my brother and sister-in-law, I don't know what to say to my nephew, and I'm really not sure what to think of the whole situation. I want to respond and act appropriately considering he is a child, but I do not want to have another incident where I am fondled, or made to feel uncomfortable by my own small nephew. I just don't think the behavior is completely innocent anymore. Am I wrong? Thoughts?
I fingered my girlfriend a month ago and now she hates me HELP?
My girlfriend wants to be friends because 2 weeks before she proposed the idea we should be friends she called me over to her house and we ended up going to sexual? ( saw her naked first time and I fingered her) she felt guilty and regretful and ignored me for roughly 2 weeks, i stopped contacting her she then contacted me out the blue asking if we could be friends? I asked her why? She said she don't love me anymore which I dont suppose is the truth. I said that I dont want to be her friend �because I don't see her as a friend ( she was upset she said no please :( ) but she then blocked and deleted me on msn and removed me from her life. Even when her friends talk to her about me (just random stuff) she would act angry and say who are you talking about? it's been 2 weeks since she's blocked and deleted me from her life and I've made no attempt to contact her and she hasn't to me and I miss her so much and I want her back. I've also found out her mums got cancer from one of my friends ( she wasn't lieng ) . What should I do? Contact her? ( bdw her mums recovering so dw ) my ex hasn't told me her mums got cancer because she isn't talking to me at all. I miss her so much. It's been one month since the incident and last night I texted her asking if we could get back together without being physical a unite for a while T first she said friends? I said no let's not label our relationship let's be me and you. And she said well I don't like you in that way and the conversation ended asking me not to ever talk to her again. So I'm blocked and deleted of man and fb and she told me never to contact her again. Please help it's been one whole month and I ruined everything last night what should I do?�

Is Netanyahu hinting towards a one state solution?
I read the article you linked to. All it is is a Jerusalem Day address that talks about, surprise, Jerusalem and how its being a single city instead of divided city benefits all of its inhabitants. To say that is completely UNcontroversial and quite frankly I'm not sure why you are trying to read things into it that aren't there, but then again, it wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
How do I fix my round off? Cheerleaders and Gymnasts Only!?
I've been in tumbling for almost twelve weeks. I can do back handsprings, back tucks, and front tucks with a spot. I want to learn how to do a round off back handspring, but my round off landing sucks. My legs don't seem to snap together in the air. I've tried everything. I tried doing cartwheels into hand stands and landing on both feet, but nothing is working for me. I was wondering if someone can tell me what I can do to get my landing together before I move on to attempting back handsprings by myself. I want to get this down by August, but I really need help. What can I do to fix this problem?
Is this a panic attack? Help please...?
yea that sure sounds like axiety/panic attack to me.. i get them and i feel nervous or super scared for no reason whatsoever.. i get shaky and find it hard to breath also, and my doctor told me that caffeine can trigger panic attacks, because it speeds up your heart rate so much that your body can associate that with fear or anxiety..
Do I sound very pretty to you?
I'm a female girl (teenager) i'm 5"7 and I weigh 105 pounds. I'm a gymnast so I'm pretty fit, any fat I have goes to my legs. Only when I'm sitting in shorts can you tell the extra leg fat on my thighs. But I still look really skinny. I have hazel eyes. There mostly a honey color, a green, or a green blue brown. I have dirty blonde hair but I get blonde hightlights that cover most of my hair. I'm pailer than most of my friends but I don't look albino or anything. I have a few light freckles on my nose. My face is oval shaped. Tell me whatcha think! Thanks :)
