Luke P. Shows What It Means to be a Toxic Boyfriend
glamour.com

This season of The Bachelorette consists of cute guys, a bachelorette who is not afraid of being true to herself, and most of all Luke P. Out of the countless attractive, kind, eligible bachelors this season, it is frustrating to see Hannah continue to keep Luke who clearly "is not there for the right reasons". As frustrating as it is for America to watch Hannah hand Luke a rose each week, it shows us just how easy it is for girls to fall for a guy they know is not good for them.

Luke P. has had his fair share of controversy this season. Between his aggressive behavior, manipulative lying, and inability to get along with the other bachelors, there is always something to be annoyed at him about. However, Luke P. is a great learning tool for young girls across America because, through his actions, they can learn to recognize the warning signs of what can develop into a toxic relationship.

Luke is always changing his story when he is around Hannah in order to make her feel bad for him; he has repeatedly thrown people under the bus by saying they have been bullying him. Hannah was a target on the last season of The Bachelor, so by claiming he is also being bullied, he knows he can have Hannah feel bad for him. He also constantly talks about his relationship with God in conversations with Hannah, which he knows is a very important factor in her life. His ability to say whatever Hannah wants to hear demonstrates how easily he can manipulate girls in relationships.

Luke P. is also always fighting with both the other bachelors and Hannah and additionally, has judged what she has done in other relationships. If Hannah recognizes that they are always fighting and that Luke has a temper, why does she continue to keep him each week? Hannah is falling for lust over love, which is something that many girls mistakenly fall for. She knows that she is attracted to him and that he always says what she wants to hear, so she ignores the major red flags in their relationship. However, this is dangerous for Hannah in her search for a husband because if she ultimately chooses him, they will have a very toxic marriage that will not last.

I hope that Hannah will come to realize that Luke P. is not husband material, and I also hope that young girls who are watching this learn what to look out for in guys to avoid becoming involved in an unhealthy relationship.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
