18 Things That Shouldn't Be Socially Acceptable

Why is it okay to write it in an article but not talk about it in person?

18 Things That Shouldn't Be Socially Acceptable

Why is it okay...

1. To ask a girl why she is so skinny but not why she is so fat.

Body shaming. It goes both ways. Sometimes, the skinny ones don't want to be that way and vice versa.

2. To not look people in the eye anymore.

If they do, will they suck your soul out? No. Be human, and interact please.

3. To disrespect someone that is serving you.

Servers, cashiers, baristas. We are people too. This is our living right now. Please respect us as we have done to you.

4. To be rude to those who are younger than you.

Age is but a number. The new generation just might be the nicest and most innovative people you meet.

5. To be rude to those who are older than you.

They have fought countless times for you to be here. Appreciate them. Thank them. Respect them.

6. To cut someone out of your life but the second they do it to you it's the end of the world.

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

7. To be unforgiving.

You're going to live with this the rest of your life whether you like it or not.

8. To be unforgiving and not feel terrible about it.

Heartless. I pray for you.

9. To text and not talk on the phone.

Does she even know what your voice sounds like? Do you know hers?

10. To communicate through your phones but not in person.

Do you even know how tall she is? What she looks like? If she wears perfume? Is it Photoshop, makeup, or is she actually perfect?

GROW A PAIR AND ASK HER OUT. Maybe you could even look her in the eyes.

11. When a girl hits a boy but not when a boy hits a girl.

Abuse goes both ways. If a woman is abusing a man, she should be locked up. If a man is abusing a woman, he should be too. There's no in between.

12. To hook up with people, but as soon as you fall for that person, you're "whipped."

It's not bad to be "whipped." In fact, being in a relationship is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not being held back.

13. To let a boy sleep around, but when a girl does it, she's a wh*re.

Every man makes his own decisions. Every girl does so as well. There's no difference in us other than some testosterone, estrogen, and a chromosome.

14. To release movies about bad cops, violent use of guns, criminals, etc. but it's not okay to post a video about the good that cops can do, the harm that guns can prevent, and the humans that criminals are.

I don't care what entertains you. Murder shouldn't be one of them. Racism shouldn't be one of them. Violence shouldn't be one of them. Has anyone heard of comedy?

15. To be a follower and not a leader.

What happened to creating a tribe? Why do we just join one now? Let's re-charter.

16. To be drunk every weekend, but when you're not then you're labeled the prude.

I'd rather remember my Saturday evenings with good friends. I'd rather not get sick every Sunday morning. I'd rather enjoy my glass of wine, savor it, and not have it backfire on me.

17. For a man to look but a woman cannot.

Need I say more?

18. For a man to not help a woman anymore.

It's not cool to make her walk through a puddle. It's not cool to not open her door. It's not cool to not pay for her candy at the movie theater. Be a gentleman. Hold her hand. Hold her heart.

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.
