Actually, it clearly says that she send naked photos of herself to boys. Your saying the consequences should be different because the pressures are different? I'm trying to be clear.

She also sent naked photos of herself to other people. If she'd been a 16 year old boy, we'd be having a different conversation.

Would everyone be so aghast if it was a boy sending unsolicited pics of himself to girls? I'm just curious, because it's clear she sent the photos to boys. I have girls in my school reporting that boys are sending dic pics to them, which is making them extremely uncomfortable, and which I consider sexual…

Would you feel the same if a boy was sending unsolicited dic pics to girls in his middle school? Just curious.

I'd be pissed too. I don't think organizations/companies should be doing any kind of advertising/marketing on school grounds. Period. The problem is, they sneak that shit in there under the guise of "free educational materials" and unless teachers are aware that that's how marketers get their agenda pushed in front…

Absolutely, but you have to be age appropriate. Handing out graphic materials to 6 year olds is hardly that. And frankly, if its part of the curriculum it should be designed/approved by teachers. Organizations and companies that have their own agenda shouldn't be promoting their own materials.

Who approved them to come into school in the first place? All that crap is supposed to be vetted. Businesses and organizations that want to market in schools always put their agenda before what's best for kids. Unless they can be sure that the message aligns with their curriculum, what's really the purpose? …

If I had a dollar for every romance that went from "everything is great" to the guy doing the disappearing act for no apparent reason.....look, lots of guys in their twenties are immature, and have a hard time being honest about what's going on, whatever it is. It's easier just to bail than to dig down and look at…

I'm the cookie mom for my daughter's troop so I have dozens of CARTONS of cookies in my dining room for two months every year. A blessing and a curse! We were selling outside of a grocery store a few weeks ago, and one woman actually snarled, "I stopped buying your cookies when you started supporting abortion!" at 3…

Even beyond this, I wouldn't visit this establishment due to the fact that whomever is in charge of their social media has extremely poor writing skills and seems to feel that they are arguing with someone anonymously on a comments page instead of representing a business. Did someone give their unemployed brother a…

I hate to say this, but I would bet money that this didn't just come out of the blue one day. I've worked with hundreds of kids, and I've seen some scary shit. My guess would be that there have been other issues, signs, whatever, and the family was either unable or unwilling to address them properly. So sad.

That whole show was about the slow burn! CJ and Danny, Sam and Mallory, Josh and Amy....even when stuff actually happened between people, the burn still lingered long after.

Forget About Me I Love You - seems to mean, fuck my life, I'm pregnant, so it's all about you now.

Its nice that she had the resources to make the choice that she felt best suited her family.

Ughh, the bridge collapse thing is my greatest nightmare. Especially when my kids were babies and in the car with me . I used to practice scenarios in my head regarding how I would try (and inevitably fail) to get them both safely to dry land.

As a middle school counselor who works with lots of disorganized kids, I'm waiting for someone to come up with some kind of digital system to replace binders and notebooks. No more lost homework and papers!

That's kind of what we've been doing since the kids were born. But it feels like we are rushing through OUR Christmas morning so we have time to shower and get in the car to make stops for both families...and I feel like we are in the car all day. So we just want to stay home. We've always said that people are free…

Actually I didn't realize until yesterday that it was an issue, as my mom was the one who picked the day. I was willing to do whatever day was convenient for everyone else. They just seem so stuck on keeping things exactly the same, I guess for the next 50 years.

"Insanely difficult". I think I will use that phrase from now on, thanks for the chuckle, and the reality check.

Family Christmas Drama Question:
For 46 years I've been spending Christmas Day with my parents and sisters. I've been married for 11 years and have 8 yo twins. My husband and I have always said that eventually we would want to start our own Christmas tradition and stay home for Christmas Day. Lots of reasons, including…
