They were zealous back in the day as well. My grandmother didn't want to breastfeed my aunt, and they refused to give her her baby for three days. They kept telling her to breastfeed or she was a bad mom, and kept her baby.

So does anyone have any reading suggestions? I really liked the Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night books, are there ones similar?

I have the implant and I have had the heaviest, painful periods, and now, I barely spot at all and it's not painful. It's been a godsend really.

Anyone else in LOVE with Discovery of Witches and the Shadow of Night? I do and I am sad that I have to wait for the next one. Does anyone know of any similar books?

I think it's gang problems, and lack of jobs honestly.

Sorry, no, she was 18.

I am quite a bit drunk, and thinking about where I am. I lived over in the UK for a year and a half and I am home now. Being in the UK really fucked me up, I kept meeting horrible people and I was in a horribly abusive (emotionally mostly) relationship. It ended completely in November, I haven't had a date or sex…

It's normal. Are you going on Implanon? I have it, and it's been quite good. At least with that one, if you decide to get pregnant you can get it taken out and you can be pregnant almost asap.

I have been to Israel and I was randomly selected for extra searches. I was being sarcastic

I wish I could take a train everywhere.

Oh dear. I have flown from and to Gatwick many times, and this frightens me, and makes me think that maybe Israeli security wasn't so bad:P

I think so, it's like she's her big sisters minion. Plus yeah, school? Though it doesn't seem that's a priority in that family.
