A 17-Year-Old Suicidal Note "No friends, No support, No love."

The suicide of a 17-year-old transgender teen from Kings Mills, Ohio is catching national attention and has went viral because of a suicidal note he left online. He was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on I-71 about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to local media.

Alcorn's note explains that he has felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body ever since he was 4. Then he cried tears of joy when he learned what transgender meant at 14.

Alcorn took to his tumblr account to express himself before taking his life. Alcorn requested that all of her belongings and savings be donated to transgender civil rights movements and support groups.

Many people took to Twitter to mourn her death using #LeelahAlcorn and criticize the continued injustice facing transgender people today.

"My Abortion Was the Hardest Thing I'd Ever Gone Through" - Nicki Minaj

This one took me by surprise because celebrities usually do not admit something this deep and personal. It's definitely worth sharing. 

The 32-year-old rapper spoke to Rolling Stone about a pregnancy that ended in abortion while she was still in high school.

"I thought I was going to die," she says when she found out she was pregnant. "I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through."

According to Rolling Stone, the father of her unborn child was an older guy from Queens that she dated while still attending Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

While the "Anaconda" singer admitted that the decision to have an abortion has "haunted [her] all [her] life," she thought that it was the

A Man Paid $150,000 to Look Like Kim Kardashian (Photos)

Whats going on here? A British man by the name Jordan James Parke admires Kim Kardashian so much that he paid $150,000 to look like her!

“I love everything about Kim,” the 23-year-old make-up artist shared to The Sun. “She’s the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair, everything about her.”

He added, “I laugh when people try to insult me by telling me I look plastic or fake. Do they think I’m going for the natural look? If I was, I’d ask for my money back.”

Jordan made it a goal to look like Kim as much as possible after watching a few episodes of her reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

I refuse to believe that anyone is this insane but maybe insane isn't the word. I am not judging but this is a tad bit much, isn't it? Okay, maybe I am judging but continue to check out more photos below!

15 Things You Learn When You Find Your Soulmate

1. No love is perfect. It has its highs and its lows — and some of them are very high, and very low — but the lows are not a sign of weakness or that you shouldn’t be together. Rather, they’re something that brings you closer to each other.

2. Sometimes you just need to hold your partner’s hand or give them a hug, and not ask questions or give them any advice. Just knowing that you’re there is more comforting than words.

3. You can be mad at someone and still love them senseless. Getting mad at someone doesn’t forecast the end of your relationship, it just means you’re humans who have feelings and screw up from time to time.

Say 'ThankYou' to Your Ex! Here is why...

1. It probably wasn’t all bad

While it may not seem like it straight away, when you look back at the relationship later on, you will see that there were good times, as well as the bad. Try and remember those, rather than just the fights or the bitterness, and the relationship will have seemed a whole lot more worthwhile.

2. You will be able to spot the signs quicker next time

The experience of a breakup can teach us many lessons and one of those is not to ignore the signs next time. Relationships rarely end completely out of the blue and, even if you chose to ignore them, the signs were probably there. Learn from this and, the next time, you will be able see these signs earlier, take control, faster and end the relationship, without wasting any time.

10 Simple Ways To Impress a Woman

1. Being a gentleman

We should all strive to be gentlemen at all times; however, many men today shy away from it, attempting to respect a woman’s space and equality. Believe it or not, there are still plenty of women who still appreciate chivalry and being treated like a lady, and being a gentleman when you are in the presence of a lady shows her that you are attentive, respectful and well-mannered.

2. Maintaining eye contact
It can be tempting to look a beautiful woman up and down, and the more beautiful she is, the harder it is to concentrate on the conversation with her. Just remember, if she catches you staring at her cleavage when she’s telling you how much her dad means to her, you’ll look like a creep.

Short Film; A Different Side To Beyonce (Yours & Mine)

Queen Bey has always been a very complex mysterious human being. She doesn't interview, she rather voice out through her music and art. Beyonce released A retrospective short film celebrating the one-year anniversary of the self-titled visual album, BEYONCÉ. In this film, she talks about the downside to fame.

In the video, she says:

"I sometimes wish I could just be anonymous and walk down the street just like everyone else. Before I was famous, I was the girl on the hill with the guitar. I was the girl that just wanted a beautiful view of the beach and now that I am famous it’s really, really difficult to do very simple things. I think it’s the hardest thing to give up, but my mother always taught me to be strong and never be a victim, never make excuses, never expect anyone else to provide for me; things that I know I can provide for myself. I have dreams and I feel like I have a power to actually make those dreams become a reality.

When you’re famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public. There’s nothing real about it. You can’t put your finger on who I am. I can’t put my finger on who I am. I am complicated. I grew up with a lot of conflict and traumas. I’ve been through a lot just like everyone else. My escape was always music and I am so lucky that that’s my job, but if I accomplished all these things and had no one to share with it would be worth nothing. You know you need something real in order for any of this stuff to

Signs It's Time You Two Break Up

By: DFTM

1. You’re only in the relationship to spare her feelings

Deep down you know you no longer want to be in the relationship any longer, but you’re scared of telling her it’s over. Even if you’re the kind of person who’s used to looking out for everyone else’s needs, you’re not doing your girlfriend any favors by staying with her out of sympathy.

2. You’ve simply grown apart
You may have really loved each other when you were in high school or college, but now you find that you’re just completely different people going in different directions and the relationship is not right for the people you are today.

3. You would rather spend time alone
At the beginning of the relationship,
picnics on the beach and spontaneous romantic getaways were all great options. Now, spending time with her seems like more of a chore and you make up excuses just to go out on a date.You spend most of your spare time with separate friends, visiting your families alone, or anything else you can think of to avoid spending time with each other. Simply put, you and your significant other have already emotionally broken up without making it official.

5 Questions You Should Ask Your Girlfriend

By: DFTM

1. What is your favorite activity to do with me?
Asking your girlfriend this question will help you identify whether you share the same interests and hobbies. If you like bowling and she likes cycling, you may have to rethink your plans the next time you are together. Learning her answer to this question will help you find compromise in your relationship when it comes to planning things together.

2. How far do you want our relationship to go?
Both of you need to be aware of how the other feels about where the relationship is headed. If the two of you have different expectations then you are better off knowing now rather than finding out later and getting hurt.
