A family friend, at the tender age of 18, has been DJ'ing in small bars and clubs for the past couple of years desperate for his big break. He has received an opportunity to play at a big festival early next year alongside many big names. However, to be in with a chance of playing there, he needs to win a competition to receive the most Facebook 'Likes' on his page.
So, I apologise for the plug but could I ask as many of you, and your friends to spare a couple of seconds to 'Like' his page. He's a great guy with a huge talent and would highly appreciate every one of your votes.
Many thanks in advance guys .

Hi All
I very rarely post much on these forums but am hoping for anyone reading this if you can help a little in the following:
As some may know the Hillsborough Anniversary is again fast approaching, on April 15th 1989 96 Liverpool Fans tragically lost their lives that day and after a long & frustrating 22 years the families of those lost are still fighting for the justice that they and the 96 lost deserve, for more information regarding this please follow this link: Welcome to The Hillsborough Justice Campaign
Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on Liverpool fans and their supposed atrocious behavior, of course all those were sick, vile lies and since that day, Liverpool fans & Liverpudlians including the Everton fanbase have seeked to Boycott that vile newspaper whom still have yet to make any form of sincere apology.
If I can ask for one simple favour; Stephen Smith is a very talented music artist who recently released his album 'Next Train to Nowhere' on the album contains the song 'Liar, Liar' of which he has just released Monday gone (April 4th) in attempt to get it into the charts for the week leading upto the Hillsborough Disaster & there's also been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.
We ask that for just a paltry sum of 0.79p to download the song of which as mentioned above can really help bring awareness of the tragedy and what befalled it to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.
Not only will you be massively helping families who are still grieving to this day as they still have yet to receive the closure their loved ones deserved but the song in itself is worth purchasing alone written & performed by an exepetionally talented musician.
All proceeds from Liar Liar will be donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hope for Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
Here are the download links:

Amazon.co.uk - Stephen Smith - Liar, Liar
Here's the music video:

RIP.
On that sad day, my grandfather, auntie, two uncles and my uncles friend went to watch their team play a game. Only four returned home again.
The events of that day are widely reported and I've never heard them speak of their ordeal.
One of my earliest memories of my uncle was him on crutches for so long afterwards.
You'll never walk alone.

Hi everyone, I wanted to start this to give support and have some help from around the World. One of my good friends was driving the other night from work to home and was involved in a wreck. The situation is that he goes to school in the morning to 12pm in the afternoon, then has to be at work from 4 to 12am at night. He was driving like normal but as person in this state he was very tired. And fell asleep at the wheel not knowing it he had crashed into construction along the highway. The wreck was pretty severe and the car was not identifiable because of the wreck, Police had to ask what car it was. He is a very good kid, and is only 18 I believe he deserves more years in Life, and deserves a good experience in Life.
I Feel like it would be very nice for anyone that could help with just a simple prayer. If those who are not religious or don't believe in God, at least show a little support and be kind.
I thank everyone who participates and hope to God that he can live and survive this.
Thank You All.

I don't believe in God - there is just too much in this world for that - but my thoughts are with your friend and his family and friends.
Hi!
I have to confess, that I'm not a religious guy. But I hope that your friend will be back for good soon and will be able to have a normal life!
Things like this can happen to anyone at anytime.
ALL THE BEST FOR HIM!
Well im kind of religious but at the same time im not i believe theres a heaven and hell and GOD & DEVIL. i have faith but i dont believe in churches there are too many versions of everything so i dont go to church but i started this thread tooday but it happened to him on June 2, 2012. But today i went to the hospital and found out he is brain dead and there donating his organs. its just not fair that he was only 18, had so much in life to look foward too.
Thanks again guys.
Very sad story, I will keep his family and friends in mind.
@ XxLostSoulxX
Thanks for letting us know. My thoughts are with his family at this time, and I hope that something good can come out of their loss in other lives saved by the donation of his organs.
May God help him and give strength to his family and friends, that including you for your support and loyalty. May Also fill all of you with wisdom and serenity for your prayers and soft heart for those who are in need.
I hope that your friend can find heal and calm, all in God's Hands.

Thank you so much for the compliment.
Yay for autism support! I'm actually autistic myself, I'm very high functioning but I have some pretty severe limitations that affect my life daily. I'm so happy about all the autism awareness nowadays, back when I was in school I desperately needed specialized help but couldn't get it because things like asperger's & higher functioning autism weren't widely recognized at the time(this was in the mid-80s, I'm old). Back then, if a kid wasn't mute & rocking back & forth in a corner, they weren't considered autistic. I was just known as "the weird kid" & while I was given daily therapy to try and get me to talk more, that was the extent of any special help. The teachers didn't understand me & as a result, I got in trouble a lot & I did horribly in school despite testing in the top 5% in my state intelligence-wise. I really wish more help had been available back then for 'slightly autistic' kids like me.
But hey, the past is the past, I'm just glad for all the awareness today

Ok now this is just freaking awesome. Thanks for posting this .
BUMP FOR GREATNESS! Donate and vote .
Hello everyone,
my name is Henri and I want you to gift me five thousand three hundred and eighty-nine dollars.
5437$ or about 4800€. (Rates May 13,2015 GMT)
If you have not clicked away yet, let me explain:
I live in Berlin, Germany and I am 21 years old.
When I was about 16 years old I was moderate to severe depressed. Thought about killing myself, cried myself to sleep et cetera. I don't want to go into detail with this, because you have all heard those heartbreaking stories before.
Anyway, I got over it. I did not go into therapy. Instead I decided to fix the problems which depressed me. Those were mostly that I did not have a social life at all and had a good amount of social anxiety.
I wasn't able to ask an elderly woman for the time on the streets, started sweating when people I didn't know talked to me in school and so on.
And obviously, I didn't have any female contact besides my mother and sister.
In 2011 I had a breakdown and decided that I had to change or I would eventually kill myself in a weaker moment.
I went out to fix my social life and become happy. And I succeeded.
Long story short: I pushed myself into social interactions, pushed myself to talk to girls. On this journey I found awesome friends, two especially which could not be closer to me. One of them had the same goals as I, wanted to overcome all social borders there are.
I also met a lot of great girls, eventually other guys asked me for advice.
I was the happiest person I knew.
This is when I and and the friend mentioned above decided that we could actually teach other guys to get to where we are.
We are currently building a German website where we want to give advice for young guys on talking to girls, fitness, having great sex, fashion, hygiene, motivation, discipline, managing happy relationships and ironically living a happy life.
Ironically, because right now I am depressed as f**k again. This is because I don't have money, my parents don't have enough to support me. I got a job, but I literally started crying there because I felt so miserable. At home I feel miserable because I have no money. I am working in sales without base salary.
My expenses are about 600€ a month. In Germany, parents get some money for their „childs“ as long as they study, so I get close to 200€ a month from them. 400€ left.
My options right now are :
1) „Manning up“ and work and hope that therapy fixes this.
2) Getting student loans and go to university in a field with which I will be able to pay back the roughly 20.000€ in loans, just so that I do not have to work right now and can put my energy into the website.
3) Moving back into my parent's place on the other side of the country and everything on hold. They live in small village, so I won't be able to meet and advice people, talk to girls, network etc.
I would give up everything I built here.
Yesterday I decided to give another idea a shot. The idea you are reading right now.
I figured if I could get 4800 people to give me 1€ each, I could live one year without stress.
12 months times 400€ is 4800€.
I am convinced that my website and other projects will make enough money for me after this year.
If not, and this is a very small if, I will be where I am right now again, hopefully with more valuable lessons learned, happy and therefore able to work a normal job if I have to.
You see, I am basically asking you for time. I realize that 1$/1€ isn't much, but if you gave it to everyone you'd be dead broke. I do not know how I can convince you that I deserve this money more than anyone else, but I know that all I need right now is this money to handle this situation and put all my energy into the website and hopefully helping others.
I am asking you to gift me your next coffee, ice cream cone or burger.
If just 1% of the people reading this decides to help me out with one dollar, I have to show this to 543,700 people.
This is why I actually looked up the biggest online communities and I am posting this to every single one that can somehow relate to my situation or the subjects of our site. Some just seem to have cool people in them.
As you will see, there isn't any content up yet. We already have a lot but want to publish about ten good articles for the start. And yes, this is a working-title
If this post gets removed because it violated any specific rule I understand that and want you to know that it wasn't on purpose. I also tried to post into Off-Topic or similar.
If you have any questions, I will answer them as soon as I can.
Please don't give us advice on the design or that wordpress „is bad“. I appreciate it, but I want to answer questions about the content, our goals and whatnot instead of discussing webdesign. So far we have been working on content only.
The site as it stands is just a vehicle for the donate page, since sites like „fundme“ take 30cents per donation plus fees.
Again, all I am asking for is 1$ to solve all my problems for one year.
Thank you for your time.

While many of us, myself included, sympathize with your issue, this site is not the place for raising funds for yourself. This is against forum rules and is simply not allowed.
