Why Mothers Should Not Watch "Pretty Little Liars"
TV Guide

ABC Family's hit TV show, "Pretty Little Liars" has drawn the attention of viewers everywhere. It has cliffhangers that fans hate, but keep drawing them back. It has exciting and unexpected reveals that entertain fans. "Pretty Little Liars" follows a group of high school girls and the events that happen to them. While this show seems normal to begin with, viewers soon realize its anything but that. This group of girls has a mysterious stalker that makes their lives a living hell. Their stalker knows all of their secrets and threatens to reveal them at every turn. While the girls are dealing with their stalker, they are still trying to come to terms with the mysterious disappearance of one of their best friends.

From what I have already written, you can probably understand why mothers shouldn't watch "Pretty Little Liars." Your mom would be worried about your own high school experience. She would probably wonder if everyone at school was treating you alright. It is hard for mothers now to understand what schools are like. This is not because how long it has been since they attended. When they went to school, they still had drama. The only difference is their drama couldn't be magnified with technology. When they attended high school, they did not have the type of access to technology that students do now. With constant access to the Internet on their smartphones, it is a surprise to them that students learn anything in classes now.

"Pretty Little Liars" is their worst nightmare about what happens at school because of technology. They know how petty teenage girls are, and they also know how they take everything personally. Mothers know that teenage girls feel like it is the end of the world when something goes wrong in high school. With access to technology and a distraught teenage girl, there is little that they can not do. That's what worries mothers the most. What if their daughter does something that will affect her future permanently, just because of some high school drama?

"Pretty Little Liars" is the overdramatized version of how adults view high school, now. Drama, tears, more drama, fights, and dating. To make it worse, they added murder and stalking to the mix. If you ever want to be able to leave your house unsupervised again, it is highly recommended to never let your mom watch this show. With the new episodes about to be released, you might want to make your mom think that ABC Family was canceled, not just changing its name.

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.
