When I first came across this article and its comments I was skeptical; my parents are in their late 50’s and have been together since they were 14, so to say I believe in “true love” would be an understatement. However, I get we’re you’re coming from. The word “soulmate” does kinda imply a creepy, Twilight-ish love. While we may not have a say in who we fall in love with or be able to instantly stop loving them, we can make the decision to leave or do what is best for our lives if we wish. Plus, who wants to live in a fairy tale anyway? Like you said, real world love is so much better and we don’t have to be damsels in distress because of it.
Because “sisters” treat each other that way..I love my sisterhood. But hazing, making people do things they don’t want to do just to join an organization, shouldn’t be allowed.
Y’all “just let me put it in a little”? She said no. She said no and he ignored her. No consent was given. Rape. Period. And yes, kept hanging out with him, but she grew an attachment. It was unhealthy, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to us, but it doesn’t have to. It’s what she was going through at the time. Don’t diminish that in order to validate your own experiences. Everyone has their own story and each one is important if we’re ever going to get to a point were this kind of thing is no longer an issue.
1) if you feel this way, leave.
2) seriously we need to stop with the term GDI…just because someone decides Greek life isn’t their thing doesn’t make us any better than then and give us absolutely no right to degrade them like that.
But you don’t have to party to be a “well-rounded, street smart, fun and entertaining people person.” So why tell incoming freshmen that that’s the only way to go when they are just starting out? Cause frankly that’s crap.
Oh honey. This actually breaks my heart. You can leave college without regrets and not be that girl. You’re worth so much more than that. So instead of regretting, why not try being proud that you had enough self respect to go to college and so what you were supposed to do. Get shit done.
THANK YOU!!! If a guy thinks it’s okay to talk to my daddy that way then I’m actually a little frightened to know the kinds of things he would find it appropriate it say to me.
I agree. The only thought I ever have about his is that is should consider cutting his hair.
I thought the same thing…will for sure be having nightmares tonight.
Doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for a teacher to do it.

It’s not that she took it way too seriously. It’s the “retarded” is offensive and ignorant and when you use it it makes you look like an idiot.
Everyone is dealing with something. While their issue may seem insignificant to you, it could be huge to them.

This is sick. And if I had been hazed, I would have walked away right then.

Me either. It was disturbing.
I just really hate the term “GDI”
What I’m trying to figure out is why in the heck there’s a creepy man sitting outside of your office every day?
But way to go girl!
Well. Guess I can never eat sprinkles again.

Or you could avoid this by simply not being with a jerk. I don’t know. Just a thought.
Haha I don’t know why anyone would have yes to this actually…
Preach it girl!
