All students are required to comment once a week. A week goes from Monday to Sunday. A comment can be a response to my or others' posts --- or a new post. All posts must be relevant to class discussions and assignments. Each post should be 1-3 paragraphs. Remember, it is OK to disagree with one another, but we must always be RESPECTFUL of one another.

I feel that in most people's lives, including my own, we all repress memories that we hope someday never come back. I honestly don't think that repression is a good thing because of the simple reason that the memory never fades, and it can come back to haunt you. In some cases repression, when it comes back, is usually referred to as "dealing with your demons" of something like that. I believe that that is exactly what it is because if you did or had something happen to you that truly was absolutely terrible, I'm pretty sure that the memory doesn;t go away and it never really will. The only real way to deal with such memories is by getting them "out of your system". For many people they just need someone to talk to about it, which usually helps because we all feel that we need help from others at times in our life. However, some people like to get it out in other forms such as through literature, poems, music, or simply taking their anger out by doing something physical like football or working out. In many ways repression can be fixed however in the end it only makes us stronger and better people if you deal with it the right way.
Thank you
