She needed it at the time. I’m sure of that. I think it saved her life. If you look at what happened to other stars her age with mental health issues (and many not as severe) so many ended up totally ruined or worse. She’s doing very well and seems happy.
But if she wants her father out of her life then she should be…

Nope, she’s going to live to be 120

She was cursed by a fairy, everytime someone says god save the queen it adds another day to her life.

It reminds me more of Skins than anything else. It doesn’t have the spark that Skins has because it’s trying too hard. It’s also often too realistic, playing teens like teens really are, fucking loud, selfish and annoying.

I have to find out what happens with the baby. I don’t care about anything else.

It seems that having a law firm in charge of her finances would be more logical.

It’s more than just her money though.  It’s almost every aspect of her life.

The tide pod generation is very sarcastic and quick to act like they will fall for anything but they grew up being taught how to look at specific sources. Millennials on the other hand. . . . .

I don’t know if any of them really understand or remember how horrible things were for Brittany when she was at the lowest…

I think people forget how completely out of control she was and that she was being drugged and held captive by her manager. Then with the conservativeship she was able to be in a healthy place, working on a regular schedule and able to have a relationship with her kids. (Compare that to Kanye right now and Kanye is…

I’m more comfortable with murderers (regular ones, who murder as part of a crime or in the heat of things) getting out of prison than rapists.  The murderers probably haven’t done it before and the rapist most likely still believes they were wronged.

It’s the manipulation that makes it so terrible. They’re convincing these children that this is cool and normal behavior. That they’re lucky to be there.  It could be years before they realize that what happened to them was wrong.

THIS is how trafficking actually works. It’s not someone snatching you from a target parking lot.

It’s someone (a woman typically) gaining your trust and then inviting you to a party or to a modeling job and then encouraging the women to do more and more until they’re sex workers. So prepare your kids to watch out for…

I remember that being one of the initial arguments. That the people who were watching should have stepped in if it “was that bad.”

Fuck anyone who excuses these murderers

that didn’t age well

Whose that trafficking all the kids
It’s republicans all along

Socalism is everything that they don’t like.

Yes, his brain is mush

Cleary really knew how kids think and how weird things can seem so important.  Ramona really wanting the Q after her name from being left out because she wasn’t a Jessica seems silly but it’s also so true.  :) 

Judy Blume was life lessons and growing up. Beverly Cleary was this is what it’s like to be a child.
I inhaled both.

There’s still a lot of great childrens books out there. It’s just that the genre has gotten so much wider and more complex. We’ve got children’s chapter books (For 6-10) such as the Magic Treehouse books which are still being published, then middle grade books (for 9-14) such as Percy Jackson, they tend to have minimal…

They’re perfect read alouds. The First Ramona book is a fantastic book that a parent can read a kindergartner where they can really understand the character.

Ok, favorite memories of her stories.

Ramona squeezing out the entire tube of toothpaste. When she pulled the beet and showed up to school a total mess. When Ramona and Bezus had to make dinner together.
