I always thought that "I don't trust a girl who doesn't WANT any female friends" would be nicer or more accurate. I found it very hard to make friends as a teenager - when I admired a girl I would idolise them to the point of intimidation, really frequently. Desperation and fear are traits that are not conducive to…

Brooqlynne?

Not all Brooklyns.

LOL. At my last job we had a meeting to prepare for the brainstorm meeting.

I think all the arty farty hippiness and the fact Moises looks young is clouding peoples judgement here. This is the same age difference as Kiernen Shilpka (age 14) and Josh Hutchersen (age 21). There probably isn't anything sinister going on but it is soooo innapropriate. If my 20yr old son, was taking pics like this…

Agreed. The number of my students who are gobsmacked about how easy the class is once they figure out to read the textbook and attend lecture is unbelievable. If you really put in the 40-50 hours of work into it (as you would if you had a job) it is not really that tough.

I...*sigh* I realize I'm going to get internet tomatoes thrown at me for this, but...finals and midterms really aren't that hard. I showed up to class and did the homework and honestly, I didn't even study beyond that. I graduated with a 3.66.

I see what she's saying. But criticism of those photos isn't some kind of latent pedophilia as she implies, it's simply the societal awareness that pedophiles exist.

I think parents don't always see what others see in their kids. This may sound non-sequitur but I go swimming at a public pool and a woman brings her young son in the changeroom. He's probably just 6 or 7, too young to go in the men's by himself. But a lot of woman complained he was too old to be there. He did seem…

I don't know... there's mood lighting and he's shirtless. I'm not saying the freak-out was justified but when I imagine taking a picture of myself with my friend's underage son where we happen to be on a bed I just don't see myself putting a sexytimes filter on it and uploading it without qualifying it... it's kind…

YES. Sex-positive is great! Half-naked adults cuddling in bed with children is almost never great! Are we really going to give the Pinkett-Smiths a pass because they sound way cooler than Michael Jackson when they're defending adults and children cuddling in bed?

Do I give a shit about Willow Smith? Not at all. But come on, you mean to tell me if your 13 year old daughter, niece, cousin, etc. posted that picture on the internet you wouldn't be slightly concerned about her choices? Jada Pinkett Smith's kid just happens to be followed by millions of people.

Oh my god. I'm glad you guilt tripped him, what a monster. I would be so happy if a friend made me a cake!

What a fucking mess! Good for you for making him own up to what he'd done.

Holy fucking shit. I've never been more pleased to hear that someone made someone else cry.

I just love the last line of this post.

First, I'm so, so sorry this happened to you. It sucks in the worst possible way.

Shit like that makes me really hope karma exists. I'm glad you called him on it, I bet no one had before.

Note to self: always keep 100 $1 bills in your pocket at all times. If you loudly fart in an office meeting or greet someone by the wrong name, scatter the money in their general direction and run the other way.

I don't think shame is ever helpful in changing behaviour because it's too disempowering. Guilt is useful. Guilt says: "Sorry, I made a mistake." Shame says: "Sorry, I am a mistake." Shame is correlated with with addiction, depression, eating disorders, violence, bullying and aggression. Guilt on the other hand is…
