Child Abuse

I had to post this link because this is real. People always complain about the little things in life but what about the people going through much worse lives than you? Stop being so selfish and think about others for a change. Maybe you can help someone who is going through a similar situation.

19 y/o Virgin

Yes, I'm 19 and I'm a virgin. Shocking, right?

When I was in High School, around 9th and 10th grade, I really liked this guy. I'll call him "Antonio". I had the biggest crush on him. We used to walk home everyday, he was even my first kiss. To tell the truth, I really wanted to go further than that and that's exactly what my friends would tell me to do. Me being the person I am, I don't do what others tell me. I do what I want. Just because all of my friends weren't virgins (except for two) didn't mean I needed to lose my virginity when I wasn't ready to. So one day I grew enough courage to ask him out and he turned me down. I was upset because I thought he liked me the same way. He told me the reason why he rejected me and I understood. He said "I don't want to corrupt you." I respect him for that. He could have easily tried to use me for my virginity and treated me like dirt after he got what he wanted. He knew that I was a virgin and had wholesome values and he didn't want to destroy the image that I had built and took pride in. I've gotta say, that's probably the nicest thing a guy has ever done for me. Usually they'll just come out and say they want sex. After I tell them that they're not getting that from me, they don't talk to me ever again. I see it like this, if they can't wait for me & my love, they're not worth my time.

I feel like this, lose your virginity when YOU want to. Don't do if for anybody else. A lot of people that I know regret their first time. They would either say they weren't ready, they didn't love the person they lost it to, they got treated like sh*t afterward. I've heard it all. I don't want to regret my first time at all. I want it to be unforgettable. I want the guy I let have my most prized possession be worthy of it because when it's gone, I'll never be able to get it back. I just want to make sure that he's in love with me and vice-versa. True, I have thought about losing my virginity a few times but it's like GOD has steered me away from those thoughts and he's actually made me aware that I shouldn't have. He actually has saved me from the jerks I thought about giving it to. A lot of people aren't waiting these days. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find my prince charming who will wait for me. It's hard to find him in this sex filled society that promotes images of sex on Television and in media. Everybody is having sex now, so to speak. Not me, I'm gonna choose to wait it out, no matter how old I get.

Skinnier does NOT equal prettier.



Why would someone actually go to the lengths of resizing Marilyn Monroe? Marylin was already seen as a sex symbol even though she wore a size 14. In the first picture, it looks like she hasn’t even reached puberty yet but in the second, she has curves. I think this is why girls are basically starving themselves and suffering from eating disorders because they’re making a person who was already beautiful at the size they were, skinnier with photo editing software. I think it’s a shame. I think us women should embrace our curves and shapes. So what if our hips are big, or our butt is big. You don’t see the fellas complaining about it, do you? Don’t change yourself to fit Hollywood’s standards because it’s going to be an infinite cycle that no one can fully re-create. You are beautiful, despite what people say and what makes you even more beautiful is confidence.

Reach



Reach out and touch someone whether it’s giving them a hug or giving them a little bit of encouragement to show that you care.
