Hi,:) I would be happy to meet you, too. My ICQ is 243232017 (I don't use it very often, you can leave massages, I will read them). I think it would be better
to contact via e-mail. So, do you want me to send you a letter? (By the way, I have no relationship with the Psychology, my specialty is mechanical engineering)

)))gooooood moood!!!and inspiration
Today at last began writing my work!!! I `ve done only 1 page - introduction but I need your piece of advice and grammatical help)))
Getting Started
«If I walk in darkness without one ray of light let me trust the Lord, let me rely upon God».
Isaiah 50:10
Somebody famous once said: ’In the world you will find no person identical’. Really whether God or Nature – they made us absolutely unique. Possibly it is one of the evidences that all comparisons, socializations and stereotypes are quite doubtful. As an example I will give you numbers: The American psychologists arrived at a conclusion that human character consists of at least 500 traits. I suppose that you will agree with me that precise analysis of them is next to impossible. This can be compared with playing roulette – the possibility to hit the nail on the head is extremely little. My task doesn’t include feckless enumeration of stereotypes and prejudices. The thing I want is to investigate the whole diversity of facts and independently to come to the conclusion.
Being a teen, I understand how does it feel to be a person aged from 13 to 19. The time of adolescence is hard and exciting at the same time. It is a difficult time for teens because it is a period of transformation. It isn’t quite as bad as a chrysalis changing into a butterfly, but it may seem like that. It isn’t easy to grow up, and the dramatic physical and emotional changes are often confusing and worrying. Those who viewed through rose-coloured spectacles begin to face the problems of grown-up ‘dog-eat-dog’ world, but changing and getting used to new reality is very complicated task. In a sense all the teenagers (both American, Russian) pass through it but I am eager to find out whether their reactions are similar or not. In principle the aim of my work consists of this.
-----Could you check it?)))

Ok, Here some of my answers, but I don't think it's interesting.
Do you support a war in Iraq?
No, I don't. I think any war does not bring anything good for humankind.
Do you argue with your parents very often?
Yes, sometimes I argue with my mother. :)
What are your dreams?
Honestly , I want found myself as a professional engineer in future, work in a big oil company, and have a beautiful wife.
If you had 1,000 000 $ how would you spend it?
I would open my own business and I would try to double this sum :)
Can you write anything about your experience in...love....work...school?
Experience...I was a good student and did ok, then after finishing school I entered in university. Now I am a third year student.
Love. I had only one gf, I studied with her in a school and I was in loved with, but one day I disappointed. Now I don't have a gf, I think feelings play important role between a couple, empty relations is not for me...
Work. I worked first as a waiter, then as an administrator of a restaurant. But, soon the director of a restaurant was arrested, and I thought it would better to me to leave that position..Now, I don't work because I study..
What are your 'favourite' GET RID OF phrases?
Sorry, but I don't understand this qiestion

Ok, I will rescue you. :) Try to check your text by an online translator: http://www.translate.ru (I use it from time to time). I would check your text, but I am not good in English yet.
