I think today’s middle schoolers are growing up too fast… For example, my boyfriend’s 14 year old sister wears a face full of makeup, has similar kinds of bras/underwear as I do (too mature for a 14 year old imo), and wears acrylic nails regularly… She’s doing things I didn’t even start doing until late high school, even college. Maybe I missed the memo when I was her age, but I was still awkward at 14.
Good information, I don’t disagree with you on the statistics. However, I do think Planned Parenthood does hold importance for many women. Many of my friends and peers go to Planned Parenthood for STD testing, forms of contraception, even UTI and yeast infection treatment. They have parents who refuse to take them to sexual health services because they think that they shouldn’t be sexually active. Denying to inform your daughter on sexual health or denying her of resources won’t deter her from having sex, it’ll just make the consequences of sex worse. Regardless of your stance on abortion, PP provides important, basic, health-related services that should be easily accessible to all women.
I think it’s hard to be “just friends” with guys because there’s always some form of sexual tension, whether it’s apparent or not. I feel like it’s always lurking under the surface because we are human and our nature tells us to be attracted to each other (unless of course you’re a lesbian, but that’s not what I’m talking about). There may be some exceptions, but I do believe there is an attraction on some level from either one or both parties in most cases.
I’ve actually taken this quiz, it’s great! My boyfriend and I found out things about each other that we never even would have guessed. Some of the questions have to do with weird fetishes (like peeing on each other) but it gives you lots of fun, less weird ideas to try, even some you may not have thought much about before.
Thank you for posting this. I used to find social media fun but now I just get this sense of desperation and it’s honestly pathetic. People create a better version of themselves on social media to show off their “interesting” lives to the world for a popularity contest. I just find it sad, most of it isn’t even genuine.
Isn’t it sad that so many of us have experienced relationships like this? My ex would criticize my appearance, tell me how I “always” was the cause of our relationship problems, and accused me of being jealous when I suspected him of cheating (I later found out he actually was cheating). But at the same time, I never wanted to end it. I guess the best thing about those awful relationships is that hopefully we will recognize the warning signs for the next time and set our standards for guys who will always treat us with respect.
It’s not always easy to leave someone after they’ve hurt/violated you in a physical or emotional way. Think of all the abusive relationships out there…do you think those women want to be beaten? Is it their fault for letting it happen? Yet they stay with their abusive partner. It’s much easier to blame the victim and say “why didn’t you just leave him?” It’s more complicated than that. It’s hard to leave someone who continually hurts you because you believe that your “love” for each other will fix things. So quit giving the author a hard time for not leaving him and letting it happen, because it’s not easy to do so.
I think you’re confused about my post. I wasn’t referring to a situation where it’s the same guy over and over again. In that case, I don’t think location would make much of a difference. If I were to “go crazy” with multiple guys, it would be much more noticeable if I had tons of guys over all the time rather than me being gone all the time.
I preferred going to the guy’s place rather than them all coming to mine. Your neighbors and people who live near you will notice a dudes coming and going from your place a bunch of times! I just found going to meet the guy at his house/dorm/apartment would be less obvious than having a revolving door of boy toys for your neighbors to see.
In all seriousness, I actually see posting multiple mirror selfies as a deal breaker….in my experience all selfie-posting #fitfam guys end up being narcissistic and slightly unhinged!
Unfortunately I don’t think we will ever live in a world where we are completely safe from rape or other physical assaults. There will always be bad people in this world. But this app is something I will definitely feel safer with!
If you think about it, the older we get, the more likely we are to gain some weight anyways. It’s going to happen no matter what because it’s a completely natural part of the growing process. I’m not condoning unhealthy eating or exercise habits, but I’m just saying weight gain is bound to happen even if you’re healthy.
Millennials are younger though, so they haven’t had enough time to increase their number of sexual partners. Unless the article is talking about our parents when they were our age?
As creepy as it is, there are millions of photos of people on the Internet that have been taken without consent. We have lost so much of our privacy with the Internet and all these picture-related apps we have. I’m not condoning Michael Buble’s actions at all, I’m just saying taking photos of someone without consent isn’t news.
I don’t blame her though, I’d be really pissed off too. That’s private information that they shouldn’t have been advertising, whether she was famous or not. The fact that she is famous makes the consequences worse.
Yeah, why did they think choosing someone with a lisp was a good idea for narrating a video…?

The original article stated that she was a Chi Omega, but it seems like they edited it and removed that statement.

My prom date baked me cupcakes as his promposal, and I was totally cool with that.
It’s just a creepy fact of life, unfortunately.
