He sounds like a sociopath. Sociopathy is a personality disorder but it does not preclude people from knowing right from wrong. They just don't care about anyone but themselves and deeply despise anyone who interferes with them getting what they want.

It's not clear that his dad is "big in hollywood". Rich, sure (the kid drove a BMW and they lived in Calabasas), but his dad only has the Hunger Games 2nd AD credit (which is not particularly high up on the production food chain) and then his self-produced documentary. Normally to be a 2nd AD on an action movie you'd…

What's interesting from what I've read is that one of the high risk factors of becoming a teen parent is lack of engagement in school. And one of the main reasons sited for dropping out after becoming a teen parent is feeling isolated from one's peers. It definitely seems like inclusion and engagement are what this…

It's been about 15 years since I graduated and my yearbook gave every senior their own page to do with what they liked (pending approval from the yearbook adviser). It's interesting that you seem to think there is only one right way to do a yearbook. Really, a yearbook can be anything the yearbook committee/class…

I totally disagree. We know that statistically teen parents have a very difficult time graduating from high school. It is significantly different than the things you listed when it comes to the academic achievement of graduating. All those things are hard but they do not interfere with graduation rates in the same…

Yeah, I think both women and men shield men from a lot of the realities of pregnancy because they are afraid of the gross out or fear factor. But it's really doing boys and men a disservice because it makes pregnancy and babies more daunting since it's such an information overload.

I think a lot of has to do with gendered private spaces. As a girl I was privy to all the pregnancy and baby talk at family get togethers. My male relatives were often not part of those conversations - usually they weren't even in the room. Then there are baby showers which traditionally are all female and a place…

I think it's an accomplishment to stay in school as a teen parent and graduate.

This is so true. My S.O. who is progressive, a feminist, comes from a feminist and progressive family, knows shit about babies and pregnancy (although he's learning). He's from a small family and the youngest of his generation. Whereas I grew up in a very large extended family, am in the middle age-wise, and babysat a…

He's a misogynist who believes that if his wife doesn't cater to him she has to expect him to go elsewhere. It's gross.

I'm sure they are. However, I'm sure Dean has said the same sorts of things to his ex. Regardless of what we think of Tori, the appalling thing is that Dean will always feel like he's the victim and everyone else is cruel to him. That's the thing about habitual cheaters: they think everyone but themselves is…

I've never had this problem. I usually don't put pants on until after my hair is dried so the lotion has all absorbed into my skin by then.

Because it allows for a better fit for people who like form fitting jeans. Also, if you have hips, you really do need a little stretch. Raw denim styles look terrible on me because there is no give so for the jeans to fit me in the hips they end up being unflattering and baggy through the legs.

I avoid the dryer because heat breaks down lycra and makes it more saggy over time. But everyone has their jeans methods.

Yep. If you're showering every day and wearing underwear jeans can go months without getting washed. I wash mine about quarterly (unless I do something that gets them pretty dirty) and I wash them inside out and on cold and hang dry them. This keeps them in good shape for years. I don't agree with the never washing…

Tori doesn't sound upset because she ventured into kinky waters for Dean. She sounds upset because he's making it sound like she wasn't a sexually fulfilling partner. Cheaters often like to focus on stupid stuff ("We didn't have sex the night before I left for my job") as an excuse for their behavior - see, Tori made…

I don't understand how these people think you will realize that it's the wrong email if they don't correct you. It's so easy: "Hey, I'm not the person you are trying to contact. You have the wrong email/number."

Oh definitely. In my case, this was circa 2000 so it wasn't like people checked email all the time. Also, it wasn't a work email, just a personal email address. And the emails were sent about a month apart so I was hardly pestering the dude.

Well, clearly anyone who loses their shit over minor inconveniences has got some anger issues. At the time I was so shocked that the guy didn't just say "Hey, I think you have the wrong email address since I don't know who you are." Like the guy in the article, I think the asshole I emailed had some paranoia issues…

When I was in college I accidentally sent two emails to the wrong address. The emails were just general "Hey, what's up?" type of emails to a friend. There was no response after the first but after the second email this dude wrote back a huge angry screed demanding to know why I was bothering him. It was pretty…
