Okay, good. But if it ended with a musical montage of the rapists getting disemboweled and left to die on the campus quad it would be better.

You know there’s a simpler way, and it worked out well for me and everyone else in my family. Parent takes you aside and tells you, “Sweetie, we have alcoholism in our family’s genes. This is what the doctor told me to tell you: 1) Don’t have more than one drink at a time, and 2) Never drink because you have feelings.…

Meeeeee toooooo.....

She's just a meat popsicle.

I’m at 15 years. Still don’t hate anyone. Maybe I’ll give it 15 more.

That does sound nice, especially in the winter. In the winter when my skin gets dry, I gently massage it with a slurry of olive oil and sugar then rinse it off in the shower. It makes my skin soft and silky.

Suggested mantra: this doesn’t last forever, it gets better, this doesn’t last forever, it gets better

FIFY...

I’ve heard it can take other forms and cause car crashes and burn the skin right off your body O_O I’m not a scienmatist, but somebody gotta do something!! Won’t ANYONE think of the children???

It’s the same reason why we all know that in Revenge of the Nerds, the main nerd actually rapes the sorority girl when wearing the Darth Vader mask because she THOUGHT it was her boyfriend.

Wtf? She consented to having sex with a man, and was deceived into having sex with a completely different woman. Here’s a tip: if you have to lie to someone to have sex with them, because they wouldn’t have consented otherwise, it’s rape.

She did not consent to having sex with this woman. She consented to having sex with a totally different person (who turned out not to be real). This flies in the face of every aspect of knowing and enthusiastic consent.

Yes, it was sexual assault. Newland’s gender-identity is irrelevant to that. Penis-in-vagina sex and dildo-in-vagina sex are two different sex acts. Consent to one doesn’t mean consent to the other.

Also my grandparents had 7 kids so I am not sure they ever stopped boning. BUT SERIOUSLY:

I lost my son a year ago August 30. He was in an out of jail/rehabs/half way houses for years. So many nights I’d be up at the hospital until 4 in the morning and than have to get ready for work and pretend everything was fine. When we had his funeral, the pastor asked if we wanted his addiction mentioned. Since so…

I have a son who has drug and alcohol addictions. He has been in and out of rehab/ jail for years. It was very hard for me to talk about early on. When I finally opened up to family and friends, I was amazed at the love and support. Almost everyone had/ has a story of a loved one with similar problems. It’s sad that…

Thank you for sharing. My sister is an addict and is in prison now. Truth be told, we're happy when she's locked up because she's safe and sober. Best of luck-we're going on 30 years with my sister.

I understand exactly where these parents are coming from. Our daughter had everything going for her when she graduated high school. She went to college, got addicted, and has lost everything as a result. She’s ruined her health, her mind, her relationships, and her future. She stole from everyone, got arrested, has…

Chemical addiction is usually coupled with other mental health issues. Often, drugs are used to treat another condition.

We would get so much further if we could treat chemical dependence as the physical health problem that it is. Yes, it’s a moral failing to take pills or heroin or meth or whatever that first time, you suck, blah blah, but after that it would be great if people weren’t shamed out of seeking help.
