anyone with knowlege in Social Work? Hi, I'm writing my final for a grad social work course and I am discussing turning points for youth gay/lesbian. Does anyone feel that they can honestly help me with determining when the actual turning point is in their lives? Is it the moment that htey realized that they were gay, etc., they became accepted, etc. or all these? Please, no wise cracks, this is a for a serious paper!! Thanks!

what university?

[alesi]

Surely you're really NOT serious. You're doing research for a Graduate School final paper in a forum? If that don't beat all...

[pappert]

Boston College seems to be a shitty skool

[eberl]

Its not, actually. But clearly lacking in teaching research skills.

[braff]

how does put forums on the ole biblio?

[parrack]

Hmm... we should consult the NY Times Manual of Style and Usage for that

[Saroj]

I don't think you can use a forum on a bib, tho you can use a blog

& takes place on one's back

Please, no wisecracks. This is a SERIOUS forum!

You would cite an online forum just as you would any other webpage. But, in the case of a survey, this would run into problems as you're not supposed to use participants names or anything that might identify them when reporting results, so JenSully25 would simply say that results were collected on an online forum. Hopefully, the professor would then realize how crappy the student's research methodology is and fail her ass.

but the Owl at Purdue said... ok, thanks, silliness. *bowing and scraping*

I'm not lookign for research Just asking if you all think taht the "turning point" based on the life course theory for a young GLBT youth is the time when they realize that they are gay or the time they come out? I don't understand taht part of the "turning point", "Trajectory"/ Thanks

You're asking us to give you answers. You're asking us to define "turning point" for you. We're not here to write your paper for you. Talk to your professor.

No, not write my paper But ask what the general concensus (yes I spelled that incorrectly), was. I lost someone that first half of the semester and didn't pay much attention and still have a hard time figuring out the turning point in the film for this paper. I do kow that there are more than to a person's life, but in the case here, it's for the turning point. Thanks for your time and good night all. :)

[tkacz]

we have not seen the film We do not even know what film you are talking about.

[forcier]

Ya know, the film the paper is about! Cripes, Lainey, weren't you paying attention?

[whitty]

no, sorry, I was busy with my life b/c it was at thatlesbian turning point which happens for EVERYONE at age x.x

[ruyle]

Dammit! Late again.

my boss has a masters in social work from BC. Let's just say I am not impressed. (SOrry Jen, no offense. BU fan here. I'm totally biased.)
