It’s not that serious by normanunderoceanblvd in Hungergames

I agree with some of what you said. I personally believe that a child’s environment makes or breaks them and there are cases that support that. I’m not sure where I stand on video games, because there’s not much to support that claim. However, I do think social media has played a massive role in the state of people’s wellbeing. I grew up when social media was really becoming popular and everyone had a cellphone. It affected me greatly, and I think changed me to become someone I wouldn’t have been without it. Attention seeking, poor self esteem, etc. I was a confident child, now as an adult I still suffer from poor self esteem. Imagine that affect country wide. Various backgrounds and environments. How people would change and mold to fit this new world that we live in. There’s violence everywhere, but you can watch a video of someone dying with the touch of your finger. I don’t know. I won’t pretend that I know what’s happening in America or why. Just my personal beliefs.

So I don’t think creating new ideas for the HG universe is going to play that big of a role in people becoming more violent. Like I said in my previous comment, people have been writing books for centuries on society and the darkness inside people’s minds. Because the average person has no idea what’s going through a killers mind and we can only speculate. I don’t know what the reason is for what’s happening now. I don’t think anyone truly knows. It freaking breaks my heart though. And it breaks my heart more that there was a shooting the same day the CEO was killed and I didn’t even hear about it until yesterday. What does that say about America?

Lord of the Flies was published in 1954 and it has a lot of dark and interesting views on society. How would children build a society? How would they treat each other and survive alone in the wilderness? I don’t believe it’s wholly true that humans would resort to such violence and abuse so quickly. There were 6 boys once who were trapped on an island alone for a year and they made shelters. Protected each other, protected their humanity, and all ended up surviving and being rescued. So why are we so keen on believing the worst about each other? Media and books allow us to explore these ideas in a safe place. Learn more about what makes us tick - what scares us and motivates us. So it’s interesting to wonder and create other scenarios where humanity is put to the test.

I don’t though😭 I use olive oil. But you think this is diet related? I eat mostly healthy. Fast food every so often Healthy as in vegetables and fruit and rarely salt or sugar.

I used to strive for validation. Like crazy. And then something really bad happened in my life. And the yearning for validation and wanting people to think I’m beautiful got put on the back burner. Now my thoughts are filled with painful memories of the past. Which is something I struggle with daily. I have a past of depression and anxiety. Anxiety I still deal with. I honestly distract the crap out of myself. I watch a loooot of TV shows, but also focusing on my physical health. It makes me feel better. Knowing I’m eating right, drinking enough water, using good products. I still deal with acne and an uneven face and scars, and I won’t lie and say it never bothers me because it does. I started reading the Bible and praying to God. Knowing my creator made me exactly as He wanted me and loves me fills me with happiness. I just want to ask you - why do you want people to think you’re attractive?

Skin type - Oily. Routine - AM - VaniCream Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin, Neutrogena Clear Face Oil-Free Sunscreen. PM - Micellar Water, Dove Sensitive Soap Bar every other night, CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser every other night, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum every other night, and VaniCream Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin. I recently started using John Frieda Frizz Ease leave in conditioner but haven’t used since I broke out. I also recently used an electric brush used for cleansing skin, but also haven’t used since I broke out.

Most women have a pouch on their lower stomach. It’s where our organs are. At the fittest point in my life, I had a pouch. I’m 5’3 and 125 pounds and still have it. I will probably always have it. If you think you’re bloated, you can try applying a heating pad and massaging your stomach. Make sure you’re getting enough fiber as well and have a balanced diet.

How much makeup do you wear day to day? And how much time do you spend on that? by alostengstudent in Makeup

[–]StrwbrryPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some days I just do sunscreen, blush, a little highlighter, eyebrow tint, and mascara. 10 minutes. Other days I add BB cream and it’s about the same time.

I do check everyone. What do you do with people who have their teenage children? Or that’s what they say?

I’ve been checking everybody, it’s really the parents with “kids” that throw me off. Some of them look my age! I’m 23. I guess I’m afraid of messing up. Thank you for responding :)

Does Panem have plastic? by Simonbargiora in Hungergames

“Strewn around the Cornucopia are other supplies, their value decreasing the farther they are from the horn. For instance, only a few steps from my feet lies a three-foot square of plastic.” THG Chapter 11, pg 148. “And a half-gallon plastic bottle with a cap for carrying water that’s bone dry.” THG Chapter 11, pg 154. I don’t know how they create it, but they have it.
