Why Slut Shame Now?

Sex is natural.

Why Slut Shame Now?
Jan Vasek

Sex is natural. The world today talks so freely about sex that I feel I can too.

Sex is being done among many people in many age ranges. Sex is looked at differently in different age ranges as well. Grown men and woman look at it differently, and young men and women look at it differently.

In a perfect world, you would be finding your soulmate while only having the baggage of dating and not sex. That would be the ideal way. In our generation, kids are losing their virginity before leaving high school.

I'm not here to bring them to the light in shameful ways, I'm here to see that be put to an end. In reality, by the time you marry who you find to be your soulmate, you have slept with one person or more. In high school we experiment. You date someone for a while, and you decide if you feel like they're the one.

So we have sex while in high school, for guys its encouraged. Having sex in high school as a girl isn't so cool and accepted. Girls are slut shamed for doing natural life things.

Guys are able to boast how many girls they've been with while girls are quiet hoping he keeps her secret. As guys we're glorified, as for the girls they're put down.

So we move on to college, and we experiment more. The difference here is, the shaming is calmed down-- almost nonexistent. Lots of people are having sex. Guys are still boastful, but woman can now say that they've had sex and not feel like the whole world is judging them.

We move on in life and we move on with people and relationships. We have more sexual relations and this time it's not a surprise. When you're off ready to get married, do the number of partners you've had really matter?

So stop giving hell to the girls in school for being with a guy they think they trust. There are people doing worse behind closed doors, so just because you know someone isn't innocent does not give you reason to make them feel trashy.

Sex is natural. If it happens, it happens.

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.
