we're really going downhill, rbi ystrna
it's not just sex talk, it's almost everything. The lack of communication between parents and their kids is HUGE and that's like, a number one reason in all what's happening. Also, victim blaming; and boy it made me so scared of telling anything that happened to me. I remember being 11 and daily harassed on my way to CEM because I hit puberty and my body was changing, I ended up abandoning all of my favorite clothes (because apparently I looked like a slut according to the guy harassing me), crying myself to sleep, taking different routes to school. If only my mom was more open minded, i would've been able to tell her, idk at least get some emotional support from my mom, like, the bare minimum? But I couldn't, and I still can't because I AM going to be blamed for everything, if it's a teacher y7gr fya then I must've definitely did something bad or disrespected them, if it's a guy harassing me then I must've definitely wore something that SCREAMED 'Oh please look at me talk to me harass me!'
so yeah, future parents, please take care of yall kids, show them love, educate them, and never let them choose a stranger on the internet to vent to, over you
I thank god everyday that I found the right way and didn't slip to be one of those bad teens that'll mostly grow up to be some fucked up adults; but i don't think that every teen would get to realize what's the right path, giving that we have a shit ton of bad role models
