Dissociative Identity Disorder person have it more than 6 years?

Couple things here. DID persons, in my opinion and experience, never stop having it. They can treat the symptoms and stop the most intrusive symptoms, but they will rarely got to a point where all of their alters get integrated completely. If they are able to integrate or incorporate (another method of DID management) their alters, it can take years, even decades to do so (in the most extreme cases; lots of alters, co-morbid conditions, etc, all play a role as well) So yeah, more than 6 years is not unusual. A lifetime is not unusual and is actually pretty normal IME.

Also, many people with DID are misdiagnosed or don't go for help for a long time, for various reasons. You can only develop DID as a child, so if someone is 25 and going to therapy for DID, they're had it for AT LEAST 15 years (probably more like 18-20 or more), since it cannot develop after a person stops being able to believe in "magical thinking" (aka stuff like santa clause and the tooth fairy). Symptoms may lie dormant, or the person suffering may not realize they have a problem or be unable to deal with it, especially if they are still a child and/or still experiencing abuse. To a child who knows nothing else, DID symptoms and abuse are normal to them and they may not realize their situation or mental state is abnormal.

Is it ok to fight back a little when someone is constantly being downright rude to you for something that isn't even your fault and they know that and they're just using you to vent their feelings?

You are not obligated to be a stone, and you don't have to let people use you as their punching bag. However, if someone does, and not because she's weak but because she is strong enough to withstand it, it's one of the best things a person can do, because by doing so one emulates God, since God also hears people making fun of him and being rude to him all the time and he doesn't just strike these people with lightning, but he lets them carry on with their normal lives.

It really worked. within a few days I could act like that girl infrount of people I knew, friends, teachers, and even enimies! This created a illusion in my mind that I COULD be that girl, because, well, I was here in the first place.....I created her and I was the one behind her online. All you need to do to become that person is do the things THEY do! If they always get A's....Study like THEM! If the have great clothes.....Buy a new outfit like her! If she is a computer geek.....Learn about computers! If she has guys drooling over her.......Ask your crush OUT! Think that you ARE that girl- How could he say "No" to HER?

What is meant by a 'prank call' to someone?

A prank is a practical joke, a humorous trick played on someone.

A 'call' is a telephone call.

A 'prank call' is a mischievous telephone call to someone, perhaps pretending to be someone else!

Prank calls to friends might be fun if the joke is quickly understood as being funny, and is not nasty, in bad taste, cruel or frightening to the other person.

But prank calls to strangers are not a good idea! In fact, they could be criminal offences. And when the police call on you, it won't be a joke!

So, if you intend to make a prank call to someone, be very careful, and give it a lot of thought before doing so! You wouldn't want to be the source of mental grief to someone who might think the message is a real and serious matter, and not realise it was just a joke! Some 'jokes' are no joke!

Why is it inappropriate to use profanity in school?

Profanity just means you do not know enough words to be able to say what you want without using curse words - an educated person can cut you down to nothing without saying one "dirty" word at all.

when guys cuss, they are probably just trying to be macho. really, they look stupid.
when girls, it makes them look extremely trashy, and tacky.

This is a question that has always confused people. Obviously, talking is not harmful by itself, so just saying a "bad" word cannot be harmful. However, many people are offended by cursing or swearing, so using "bad" language in front of someone else might offend them or make them angry. It is a fact that many people use "bad" language because they do not know enough different words to be able to express their emotions by using other words instead of the "bad" words. Usually, if you hear someone who swears or curses almost all the time, then that person is notwell-educated, and they do not know how to use other words to express emotion. You will have to make up your own mind about whether swearing or cursing is right or wrong. Most people feel that it is OK to let out a few curse words if you are by yourself and stressed out (like when you hit your finger with a hammer or drop something expensive and break it), but that you should not curse or swear in public. But is would also be smart to try and actually learn words to express yourself better and try not to say bad words when you do something like stabbing your toe. Try making it funny it might make the day seem better. say something like "MOMMY!" or "Ouchy!" in a weird high voice. Personally you don't really need to use bad words to say what ever. allot of times it's uncalled for and basically not good to joke about different words like Hell and Damn. It shouldn't be funny to joke about such a thing as Damnation nor should it be funny to joke about the Hell. Which to some people is the eternal place for all who have not followed God in there physical life time.

There are many reasons for "cutting". Many people do not know how to deal with mental pain, so they might reason that physical pain will take their mind off of mental anguish. Often times, the person doesn't know how to cope with the problems they face, and if they just talk to someone and vent they wouldn't feel the need to cut. If you can't talk to someone, try some exercise. It's a good way to release frustrations and clear your head.

Why do men tend to tend to take out their stress on their women not their friends?

i feel we all tend to take out our stress on those closest to us. men especially do not like to talk to other men about stress as it makes them appear less manly. they take it out on their women because they feel (wrongly sometimes) that women are more understanding and that they will be more tolerant. another reason that we take stress out on those dearest to us is that we feel secure with these people and that we wil not be judged for the opinions etc that we have.
