"Ashton Armand Prince, do you know how many hearts you've broken so far? You don't have one, and that's why you don't know how it hurts when it's broken." she stormed off, forgetting to call me the infamous nickname: 'Ice Prince'. Well, I don't date. How hard can that be to understand? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashton Prince. He's cool, he's funny and he's kind. It doesn't hurt that he's also on the school team and manages to get straight A's in everything. He's every girl's dream date, except for one tiny problem. He doesn't date.

In the summer of 1988, a privately funded experiment was conducted in a laboratory in India. The 18 test subjects were men of various nationalities. The first 6 men showed no changes, were normal, happy and the experiment was a failure. The next 5 men turned gravely ill and became angry at the experiment, which was still a failure. The next 4 men, turned insane and delusional, and died shortly thereafter. The experiment was still a failure. The next 2 men, however, showed encouraging signs. The test was conducted one last time, on the 18th man. The experiment was a success. But the result....was catastrophic.

Parents don't exactly realise the damage and impact that the occasional slight remarks they make can have. On the rare occasions that they realise they shouldn't have said something, they make the huge mistake of just assuming that the young ones won't remember. That the words they uttered are meaningless and won't leave an impression on their children. Sometimes, all it takes to fix it is an apology.
