ehhh, I have pretty bad cramps with my IUD, but I felt sick and headachy all the time with the Nuvaring. I’m still angry with my [male] gyn for misrepresenting the side-effects (as a literate person who read the pamphlet that came with it, I wasn’t completely surprised, but it was still unnerving to hear “Oh, you…

if she doesn’t that’s her choice, and getting married is her and her fiance’s choice, and neither are really anyone else’s business.

on the flip side, BET came to film at my high school (I don’t remember why) and they moved people around for one day to make the AP class demographics look different (majority black high school.....majority white AP classes......yeah). I don’t know whether it was the principal or the producer’s idea.....
