Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights The lover as rapist: An alarming trend: 3 of 52
Rape is rape. No means NO. It does not matter how far the rapist is allowed to go. A women's clothing has nothing to do with it. When the woman says NO, she means NO. Not maybe if I just push it she'll just agree. When you are violated by man or woman, it does not only harm your body, it harms your spirit when you are violate... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Are high taxes on cigarettes fair?: 5 of 66
Are cigarette taxes fair? No. Not only NO but NO WAY MAN! In some states they still call this a sin tax. Cigarettes are legal to buy and consume, just like Mountain Dew, Diet Coke, Cookies, Candy Bars and Dr. Pepper.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Denial: 1 of 12
Denial is the first of five stages in the process that we go through psychologically with death, separation and extreme change like divorce.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Challenges Self esteem issues in teenagers: 6 of 53
Self Esteem is derived from many factors. If a child lives with ridicule, degradation and insults at home, that child never learns to defend against it in high school or in life. Building a teen's self esteem starts at birth, and continues through every facet and milestone in their life. Trauma undermines self worth and sel... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Corrections Corporation of America (CCA): US concentration camps?: 1 of 8
To Ask WhyThey were the unwanted children who grew up to be unwanted adults. They were the outcasts; the embryos that were not allowed to be aborted. The motherless children of a society with no compassion or love for anyone they considered less than themselves. Still claiming their God taught love as they hated anything that... More..
Relationships & Family > Friends & Peers (Other) Teen advice: How to resist bullying: 4 of 30
How do you resist a bully? You grab yourself an equalizer so that you're the same size, and you don't back down. A bully will always pick on someone smaller, younger and more fragile than themselves, for if they fought someone their own age and size, they would get their butt beat, and they know it. They are very much the cow... More..
