To begin with, a little exposition: I'm 20, and work in a day care, state funded, home based, which lends to an interesting cross-section of humanity that I call my clientele. What it comes down to is that we have welfare, foster, adopted and difficult children exclusively. They don't come from money, they don't come from education, in fact, most of the time they come from broken homes with druggie parents. Unfortunate but true. I love these kids, but I am scared shitless and here's why:
We have an entire generation of girls who aspire to be... (continued)

For starters, this isn't another lonely "looking for the perfect woman" and "where have all the REAL women gone" man. This is coming from an 18 year old girl.

I am sick and fucking tired of snobby, trashy, stupid dames who think they're better because they either have wealth, looks, a hot boyfriend or all of the above. I hate how they like being generally horrible, and get everything through being so. What I hate even more is how everyone wants to be one of these girls, and even I can't help but covet them on occasion! I HATE IT SO... (continued)

Religion is the seperation and defination in people and their thought's. It narrows and closes your mind to what is and what can be, as opposed to opening your mind to seeing that we are all living creatures on this planet and we should just live as one and live in mutual respect and harmony.

So, we tell her. It was a disastor. Her mother, and by extension, her daughter, are Jehovah's Witnesses and apparently, as was unknown to me, Witnesses arn't alowed to date outside of the religion, or at all really. They get married. Fullstop. We're not even 18.

Basically her mum said to her, "Pick him and you turn your back on your fa... (continued)

You know what sucks? You look at me, you see a good looking, in shape 17 year old guy. You get to know me, I'm cool, get along with the girls, very "manly"... but what you won't find out about me is that I like other guys. All my friends think I'm straight, as well as all my family.

Why did I have to be born a different way? No, I'm not choosing to like guys, trust me. This is not a choice like a lot of homophobes think. I've been with girls, and yeah it's good but I know no matter how many times I get with a girl, I'll have the feeling of l... (continued)
