How does sadism develop in a person?

so im 14 now and i love when other people suffer i remember i used to practically torture this neighbor girl when i was about 9. I also like to hurt myself. i have burns and tons of scars all over my arms and legs and its not because im "emo" i just like it the way the scars look and blood. these feelings keep getting stronger as i get older and its starting to worry me. Are these thoughts ever going to go away or is it just going to get worse... Dont bother telling me to see a therapist or whatever because my mom absolutely refuses to take me to one no matter how much i ask.

Why the blaring megaphones in Pakistan?

I am troubled by the sheer volume of the megaphone (loud speaker as they call them) all over mosques in Lahore and other cities. How did this become a custom and practice in Islam to blare out sermons and call to prayer at well above 100dBA? Most will agree that even sounds at 85dBA (decibels) in public places is considered obnoxious and harmful. I have experienced two or three mosques in the same general vicinity blaring away at ear-splitting volume simultaneously. Once a sweet call of the muezzin is now a jumble of competing megaphones. I would like to know how this culture developed and why nothing is being done about this noise pollution.

2 1/2 year old that is extremely picky eater..almost OCD about it?

My son will be 3 in 2 months and is terribly picky. ever since we moved to solid foods all i can get him to eat is chicken nuggets, pasta, and fruit. i know that does not sound too bad except for the fact that now if there is one bite taken out of the chicken nugget, its now broken and he cant eat anymore of it. If the pasta is broken (like his toy story mac.n.cheese) he refuses to touch it. he literally inspects every item of food that he puts in his mouth looking for imperfections. I have tried explaining to him that it does not matter but he doesn't care..stressed out mom..pleaseee any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
