Along the lines of what makes a man, there are some fairly well defined characteristic differences. Such as natural muscle mass, bone density, hormonal differences, and even different brain areas light up to different stimulus. Theses physical difference, and hormonal differences are a factor in inherent behaviors between the genders. Some behaviour is societal, such as some expected gender roles, and some seem very much defined physically and spiritually.

I'll be sure to let people like James E Talmage, David O. McKay, and Henry B Eyring know that.

Personally I think the issue that bugs me isn't race, it's the use of force. Police should be better trained to de-escalate rather than command obedience, which can cause issues with already agitated individuals, and When using force avoid shooting in a lethal manner. 
 
What happened in one of the shootings, after watching the youtube video of what happened, is justifiable under law. (I haven't checked the specific states laws though. But at least where I am it is considered justifiable.)
 
The suspect in a threatening manner approaches police, allegedly with a small knife. He was also yelling at them to shoot him.
 
Was it smart to shoot him in that circumstance? Probably not.
 
I support the right of police to their own personal safety. I also think these situations can be improved

I am a parent to a young daughter that struggles with severe anxiety. It scares me to death when she is overloaded. I cannot imagine if she were also abused to that situation. I am sorry to hear about your struggles. If this is as serious as you say, then you must take serious steps immediately. Talk to your mother about the abuse.
 
I am not sure this boy or his father for that matter is at the heart of all of your struggles. Neither are they the solution to them. You have said a lot in your post, but there is definitely a ton that is not shared. I cannot make suggestions on everything you have said, but here are a few.
 
You said that your mother doesn't know that you were abused? Talk to your mother about your abuse is the first thing I would do. After that, your mother should look into getting you in to see a therapist to help cope with what you have been through.  From experiences in my own family growing up, holding that in without dealing with it properly can do serious harm to you.
 
You feel unclean? From what I know this may be a standard thought, but it definitely is not a valid thought if you have been abused.
 
I guess I only have one piece of advice. And that is to talk to your mother and seek proper help.
 
Best Wishes.

Have you talked to your Young Women's leader about this?
 
What happened to you was not your fault. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
 
Hugs!

I like what you say.
 
There is value in the child's impressions, don't dismiss them as not.
Just a few points i'd like to mention:
* We are all given agency
* We each have stewardship over ourselves, otherwise personal revelation wouldn't exist and we would be reliant solely      on our leaders. 
* Others have stewardship over us [to lead and guide us]
*Jesus was 12 when he taught in the temple  (Luke 2:39-52)
*Joseph Smith was about 14 when he saw the first vision.
*The first chapter of Jeremiah talks about "But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."
*There are more examples in both the bible and book of Mormon.

As a parent of 5 children between the ages of 6 and 17, I’ve had many teaching and learning moments. I’d like to say that I’ve had more teaching moments with my kids but that’s probably not true. I’ve probably had more learning moments from them.
Up until recently (probably in the past 2-3 months) my parenting style has been pretty much something like, “if you don’t do this, you will be punished” or “you will do this, now, or else!” My thought process has always been, I’ve been through what they are going through now so I know what is best for them. 
Well, I’m beginning to realize that I’m still a little child. Like Jesus says in D&C 78:17-18:
 
“17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
 18 And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.”
 
The Lord doesn’t force us to do what is right, he loves us and leads us along. I realized that just doing what is right is not enough for me or for my children. They have to want to do what is right and it’s ok for them to make mistakes along the way because I will be there to lead them along and so will Jesus Christ. All I have to do is teach them to be like little children as in Mosiah 3:19: “becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.”
It’s my responsibility to be Heavenly Fathers child and to teach my children to be like children too.

I've noticed some posts and disagreement, earlier in the thread.
 
There was an event where a woman anoints Jesus's feet, which is criticized instead of giving it to the poor. I think that good acts should not be solely condemned just because something else that is good was done instead. (Just another thought to add)
 
Matthew 26:6-13 Mark 14:3-9 Luke 7:36-50 John 12:1-8

Definitely spend time and pray about it, bring it to the lord.
 
Something that you may consider is that in a public school setting you learn how to interact with other people, often in an environment (Much like the world at large) that has a pecking order. They learn to get along with people you may not get along with so well, and how to make friends (Important skills), read social cues, Learn generational unique lingo, and to guard their trust so as to not get hurt.
 
The disadvantage is that it can be uncomfortable to some, or they could become the bully themselves, or resign who they are to some idea "nerd", "dumb", "athletic", "un-athletic", "funny", "trouble maker", etc...
 
It's a great learning opportunity for skills that might not be developed as well in other settings.
 
The major advantage to homeschooling, if the parents are able to provide proper guidance in learning is that generally a better education can be provided (Statistically higher scoring). (I have seen many homeschooling parents who do less than a stellar job though, so it's important to know your own limits in what you can provide educationally)

If the op has a TRUSTED YW advisor, I don't think it's a bad idea to let her know the situation--but understanding that such a conversation is preparatory to, not a substitute for, talking to a bishop.
Let's face it--a teenaged girl talking to an adult male about her porn addiction is, while not inappropriate, undeniably awkward. IMHO every effort should be made to make her feel comfortable and prepared for such a conversation.

I have reservations confessing to a Auxlillary Leader.

I personally think that pursuing after wealth with the intent of using it for others is a good thing. 
 
The rub is making sure that it isn't just about personal gain for the sake of gain,wealth,status,power,etc, and using the good things you could, can do with it as an excuse.
 
 
Also i'm not sure wealth is always a conscious decision, some people actually want to become [insert profession] for reasons other than the money that profession produces.
Maybe they thought it was Fun, or the enjoyed the relations they build with others, Maybe it was low stress and enjoyable, or maybe it was about the money.

I don't believe getting a "no" answer to that question would provide what you're seeking.  I'd be more concerned with how open someone is to discussing the issue of pornography (including their own personal experiences), and if/how they currently work on improving themselves in all areas of life.  I'm willing to bet that the situations where pornography destroys relationships are where individuals are not willing to admit that it is a problem and/or are unwilling to try to change behavior. Saying they don't struggle with it might also mean that they haven't struggled with it yet.  How someone would approach a personal temptation and their willingness to improve would be much more valuable questions to have answered.  Those questions will probably be best answered through your own observations as you continue to get to know someone than by the words they speak when you ask a question.

Can I, as a porn addict, be very, very candid with you? 
 
These things should be discussed with a potential marriage partner; but bear in mind--a person in the clutches of a porn addiction is very likely to simply lie about it.  It's nothing personal against you; and they won't give it a second thought--they've been lying about it, in most cases, for years.  Addicts lie.  It's the nature of the beast.
 
I fully agree with Honor--you need to watch his conduct, not just his words.  How does he treat women generally, and you in particular?  Does he listen to and respect his sisters' and mother's opinion?  Is he open with you about his other failings and/or weaknesses, and does he assume accountability for them?  Does he try to take physical liberties with you--even "small" ones--that he shouldn't?  Is he secretive and withdrawn at times?  Is he prone to depression?  Does he tend to expect instant gratification?
 
I would also note that the best evidence is that the number of males--even LDS males--who have been exposed to porn and have sought it out at one time or another, is ridiculously high.  Now, I'm not saying you should lower your standards in a potential mate at this point--that's between you and the Lord; and if you can find an LDS male untainted by porn and he otherwise meets your criteria in a mate, that's wonderful.  But I would respectfully suggest that the more open a person is about his problem with porn, the more advanced his recovery is as well.  I'd much rather marry a recovering addict, than an addict who was still in denial.

The subject of one's excommunication should never be a part of a Relief Society lesson or a Sunday School lesson.

Temple marriages are not recognized by the state in Denmark. Couples who get a temple marriage also have to get a civil marriage to be recognized by the state. Since a temple marriage isn't recognized by Denmark, it is irrelevant to try and pressure the church to preform a temple marriage for a gay couple.
 
(I used the word "state" with the same meaning as nation)
