internet safety is a wonderful thing and so important and i love being safe online soooooo much
#do schools even teach internet safety anymore? i learned it in like elementary school#since i have two younger brothers 10 & 8 they have access to the internet and i guess i get a little bossy but i try to make sure theyre#being safe... if theyre able to talk to people i tell them theyre not old enough to do that yet..! the 10 yr old has a scratch account and#while scratch is fine i dont like that he can comment and read comments no matter how safe the site is#internet safety is so fucking important to me im dead serious#it makes me really sad to see a lot of young kids able to communicate with strangers Even if its safe! Theres always a risk#Like i met someone who was 9 on discord a while ago. ☹️ I told them they shouldnt be on it but i dont think they listened to me anyway#To be honest#Idk what the right age is to have full access to the internet. 13 feels too early but 16 feels too late but idk abt 14 and 15. ig 15..??#Id say it depends on just being a teen and how mature you are but idk#I dont think it really can be helped if you have access to the internet#I just hope kids are aware of the good and the bad and how to navigate the internet!! Because its really scary!#If you say you hate kids i dont trust you. if you make fun of kids (in a mean spirited way basically bullying) i dont trust you.#I would love to be able to help and be friends with kids so that they know better but unfortunately thats not always going to be possible#Its 3 40 am bye#Oh and i fucking hate snapchat and instagram and omegle. Genuine burning hatred for those stupid things fuck them#Even tiktok is better than those. And i dont even like tiktok

Okay, Im pretty sure Ive reached the point at which I originally stopped watching so. yay
To celebrate this occasion I thought I should talk a little about some of the complaints Ive seen about the finale in my for you tab because yeah, I just cant resist looking at it so Ive been spoiled pretty severely and also been dealt a good amount of psychic damage. But hey, its about the journey, not the destination and Im already in Advanced Therapy for my mental illnesses anyway
The two most complaints Ive seen are, it wasnt cathartic and it sends a terrible message. Now, I cant comment on the catharsis bc I havent watched it yet and also Im not even sure if that would be a deal breaker for me. Like, anti-climaxes can be very powerful, Schlatts death is one of my favorite moments in the entire dsmp düfor that exact reason. But that all depends on the execution so I'll save my more detailed thoughts for after Ive actually watched it
The complaint that I wanted to talk about in more detail now is the one about it 'sending a terrible message'
I spend a lot of time watching and analyzing kids shows specifically on the basis of "is this a good show for kids?" Like, kids will watch anything you put in front of them bc they dont know any better so I think its important to put something in front of them that encourages creativity, critical thinking and sends messages of compassion good and other things I cant think of off the top of my head. When analyzing kids shows like this its very important to keep that target demographic in mind because what kids like and need is often different from what teens and adults would consider well-written and thats fine. Theres plenty of kids media that can be enjoyed by teens and adults as well, but its perfectly fine for kids media to only cater to kids and even be actively boring for older demographics.
Keeping the fact that kids media should be analyzed differently than more mature media because its written differently, I dont think it controversial of me to say that, unlike kids media, media for teens and adults doesnt need to teach anything. The way I see it, kids media has messages while adult media has themes. Obviously theres a bit more nuance to this, but Im not trying to write an essay here, Im trying to complain about fandom shit
And I know this might be a hard pill to swallow for some people bc this is the internet where 7 year olds and 17 year olds are basically the same because theyre both "minors" with absolutely no nuance, but teenagers arent children and theyre not so impressionable that seeing a character in a minecraft roleplay be sympathetic towards their abuser is gonna suddenly make them forgive their own abusers if they didnt want to do that before or make them blind or to IRL abuser or whatever man, I dont even really know what exactly the concern is. Like, idk how to tell you this but the line between fiction and reality is not that thin and if the media someone consumes affects them that much theyre either very young or there are some underlining issues that storytellers are not obligated to account for.
Not to mention that dsmp is a story told from a bunch of different perspectives by a bunch of unreliable narrators who are all varying levels of shitty. Like, in kids shows the protagonists and the non-anatgonist supporting characters are role models and vehicles to teach messages, that doesnt fucking apply here, theyve literally made jokes about everyone being an unreliable narrator i dont know why anyone would think this is the kind of series where theyre actively trying to impart some kind of lesson, its literally Fucked Up Shit Happens feat, Fucked Up People: The Minecraft Roleplay
To end this weird long rant, Id like to say that I do understand why people would be upset with the ending (from the details I was able to gleam anyway) and as much as I think complaining about the 'bad message' is invalid and frankly kindof weird, being upset is still totally fine and valid.
Also, if you'd like to discuss this with me I'd appreciate it if you didnt spoil me any further. Like yeah, I already know the broad strokes but I'd still like to have a semi-'organic' experience watching this yknow
Anyway, have a nice day

another relationship PSA advice post:
okay so i know that i’ve already made a big post about this... but i just had a flashback to when that weird chick at public school was trying to set me up with men in their late 20s/early 30s back in 2012 when we were LITERALLY 16.
like one of the excuses i used back then to deflect this girl’s constant pressure of talking to those men was “uh, *zara*.... my drama teacher at catholic school literally turned fucking 30 last year (or back in 2010) and my whole drama class called him old as fuck! so these men are the same age as my drama teacher from catholic school!!!! how the FUCK is that okay and NOT creepy???? they’re LITERALLY OLD ENOUGH TO BE OUR BLOODY TEACHERS AND WOULD BE FUCKING ARRESTED FOR DOING ANYTHING TO US IF THEY WERE????!!!! PLEASE! GET! IT! THROUGH! YOUR! HEAD! THAT! THIS! ISN’T! FUCKING! NORMAL!!!!”
but she obvs deflected the above with: “but we’re old enough to and are legal to fuck, so just fuck them and it’ll be ok!!!! just suck it up and do it!!!” like i just wanna say to my younger followers that:
if anyone your age pulls you into this sort of totally fucked up situation, and just refers to sex by saying “just fuck them” or as just as “fucking” without realising that sex is actually FAR MORE than that... then they don’t care about your safety and boundaries AT ALL, and you should dump that friend, STAT.
after all, if they were really your friend, they would care about your safety and understand your refusals/rejections towards the men. they would also care about your bodily autonomy and boundaries and understand that you’re not comfortable with this situation.... and so, stop harassing you to flirt and sleep with these men.... which literally NO TEENAGER in their right fucking mind should be fucking comfortable with a man who is basically twice their fucking age (and old enough to be their goddamned teacher) flirting with them and wanting to sleep with them.
finally, NO NORMAL dude in their late 20s/early 30s should be finding a 16 YEAR OLD GIRL ATTRACTIVE. FUCKING PERIOD. after all, these men ARE FULLY AWARE that you are a kid. but they don’t actually care. and that’s because they’re looking for someone to manipulate and abuse/harass etc. because no woman their age will put up with their, more than likely, manchild bullshit behaviour. but a 16 year old girl, according to these men, will presumably put up with it, because teen girls don’t know anything about relationships and sex and life, but they (the men) obviously do. they’ll use that excuse so that then you’ll presumably follow EVERYTHING that they say and want you to do. and the friend that’s pulling you into this sitch is doing the same thing, by being complicit in the same grooming behaviours of those men.
JUST RUN FOR YOUR MOTHERFUCKING LIFE (if it’s safe to). report it if it’s safe to as well. please. because it’s not worth your safety and sanity dealing with either the fucked up friend who thinks men twice your age will apparently “keep you safe”/“look after you” (when they’re obviously fucking not!!!) if you “just fuck them”.... or dealing with the creepy adult men who SHOULDN’T BE FUCKING FLIRTING WITH A GODDAMNED CHILD IN THE FIRST MOTHERFUCKING PLACE ANYWAY.
in short, the real safety in this situation is caring enough about yourself to firmly set your boundaries and standards, which will allow you to block these people out of your life. listen to yourself. if it feels wrong (which for a good bulk of teenagers, it will feel really fucked up), let the friend know. call the friend out and these men out on their behaviour if you feel safe and confident enough in doing so.
if they actually take the time to listen and consider, the friend should realise that they’re wrong and stop.... and in general most decent & normal adult men should stop as soon as you say you’re a teenager and hopefully stop harassing you. if neither happens, just straight up block the men on social media like facebook or snapchat (which was where this girl was adding them for me) and just stand your ground with your friend if they don’t listen.... and report them if you feel like you can. then block them on social media too.
but if you get stuck in this situation and feel like you can’t get out of it, reach out for help to someone else that you can actually trust, like another friend that you’re actually closer with or something (like this girl I wasn’t actually close with at all) hopefully they’ll help you out and get you out of this fucked up sitch.
but don’t hate yourself if you’re stuck with the weird friend or unfortunately stuck in a relationship with one of those sickening men. because i easily could’ve been too, after all of their creepy “you’re so mature for your age 😊😊” etc comments. and it was all because i was young, insecure, naive and desperate for any kind of positive comments/feedback/attention because i’d never received any from any guys in my age group. you may feel the same. but DON’T FALL FOR IT. or don’t hate yourself if you do fall for those comments, because it is very, very easy to when you feel lonely and whatever in your teens. because, sadly, this is EXACTLY WHAT these men are latching onto. they are latching onto your low self image/esteem and giving you the attention that you want by giving you those seemingly nice compliments. they know that’s what you want: someone that’s ready to shower you in compliments. but once you get into a relationship with them, those “compliments” are probably likely to stop... as they’ll try to use the age gap against you, like i said earlier.
basically at this point, i’d come out of a year-long depressive episode/mental breakdown, so i was trying to build myself up again to be confident and everything.... and that’s why i became so suspicious of these men suddenly giving me those creepy comments/so-called “compliments” and my friend trying to set me up with them so forcefully. but yeah. again, DON’T HATE YOURSELF FOR FALLING INTO THIS IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, because it’s so, so easy, at that age, and in that state, to feel that you need love from anyone or anything. but please remember to set your boundaries and standards and stick to them before anything DOES happen. because you are WORTH your boundaries and standards and safety, despite what these people (as well as your depression or low self-esteem/image) tell you.
anyway, JUST BE SAFE OUT THERE Y’ALL.
———————————————————————
this also falls under the whole “hoe phase” body positivity thing. like if you’re 17-19 and some friend is like “be a hoe with that dude in his late 20s/early 30s that keeps hitting on you on *insert chosen dating app here*”..... i again suggest to run from or ignore that guy and to ignore/leave that friend. because if there’s a 10+ year age gap between you and the guy/other person, there could/can be a BIG disparity (well i think there will be idk) in how the guy/other person will treat you....
like obviously it’ll depend on how decent the other person is generally.... but again, if they can’t pull someone their own age, but pull an 17-19yo instead, when they’re like 26-33 or whatever, then you’ve got some serious questioning to do towards that person, to yourself. like my questioning of the men on this hellsite, in this age bracket, that i had hitting on me at 17/18 on me, was: “but they pay bills/rent/a mortgage and shit.... like I DON’T EVEN FUCKING KNOW WHAT ANY OF THOSE ARE!!!??? why the FUCK are they even bothering with hitting on me when they’re adults that i’ve actually told that i’m still in high school????” and that was substantial enough to turn me off them tbh lmao. but yeah. just STAY SAFE in your hoe phases/sex discovery phases y’all.
*side note: again, yes. this post is primarily aimed at straight girls, but also applies to any sexuality/gender orientation. i want all my followers to be fucking safe y’all.*

How do i overcome my insecurities?
Hello,
Thank you for writing to Asking Jude. First, I want to say that overcoming one’s insecurities is not an easy feat! If or when insecurities “raise their ugly head” in our youth and they are not dealt with- they will carry into our adulthood. As I mature woman, I can truly say one can overcome their insecurities with confidence, patience, perseverance, tenacity, and positive self-talk. Even the most confident and outspoken personhave some things about themselves they are not completely happy or satisified with. It is completely natural to sometimes doubt the choices we have made, regtret the things we have said, or want to improve ourselves in some area or another. Overcoming self-doubts is a major part of growning up as we mature into adults. While insecurities do affect the young in their teen years, they can manifest themselves differently with age depending on varying intensity dependent upon one’s strength of character and their environment. 
According to those from the psychology school of thought, the following 6-Step process can be used to help you work through your insecurities. These are progressive steps, thus it is important to go through each one fully before moving onto the next step. It is highly suggested you first need to commit yourself to the process. Moreover, you need to commit to putting in time and effort into this process, as well. This is the only way you will reap the rewards of seeing the results in your life. Please know this: Securing your insecurities is very important to everyone at any age of awareness! Check out the following steps:
Step 1: Identify Your Insecurities - The first step is all about awareness. You need to ID the insecurites you struggle with. Uncover irrational beliefs and unhealthy thoughts at the coare of your insecurities. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What do I tend to feel insecure about?
- What uncertainty exist that is making me feel insecure?
- What worries or fears are make me feel insecure?
- Why am I feeling insecuare aobut these things?
- What is the root cause of all these insecurities?
Step 2 - Practice Being Objective - It’s time to now challenge your insecurities. They are nothing more than your interperations you have created for yourself, others, circumstances, or about what will or will not happen. They are opinions and perspectives you have latched onto. In order to change these perspectives, they need to be challenged by you. You will need to think about them rationally by asking yourself the following questions:
- Is this really how things are or just how I imagine them to be?
- How could things be different to the way I imagine them to be?
- Are my expectations realistic in this particular situation?
- How else could I view or interpret this situation?
Step 3 - Reflect on Your Successes - Take a moment to reflect on your successes and accomplishments (large or small). Think about all you have done and achieved. If you have faced a challenge, think about how you can overcome it  or how you overcame it. Think about the inner strenghts you had to call upon or need to create for the next time the problem arises again. Then, you ask yourself:
- What have I excelled at in the past?
- Why have I excelled at these things?
- What personal attributes were of value at the time?
- How could I bring that mindset to this or any other situation?
Step 4 - Assess Your Circumstances- By using your higher level of self-confidence, you can now evaluate your circumstances. Upon feeling insecure about something, we convince ourselves (and see them) as going a certain way. We tend to dwell on the worst case scenario that forces us to retreat back into the safety of our own comfort zone. One cannot be proactive when one is filled with uncertainty because uncertainty freezes you making it difficult to move forward. What you need now is Certainty, thus ask yourself:
- What is the worst could possibly happen if I take action despite my insecurities?
- So what? Who cares? Things may not be as bad as I make them out to be.
- How could I possibly turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for something better?
- What is the best thing could happen if I act to move beyond my insecurities?
Step 5: Engage in Positive Self-Talk - Now it is time to prime your body/mind into action! The best way to do this is to give yourself some positive self-talk. For example, repeat the following to yourself:
- I am confident and a capable person!
- I believe I can do this!
- I will take 1 small action to get the all rolling!
- I will learn from my mistakes & keep it moving forward without hesitation! The longer you take to decide whether to take action or not, the  more doubts will creep up and raise its ugly head making you feel more insecure.
Step 6 - Making a Commitment - Commit to overcoming your insecurities, which is not just done or said in your head. You make it become a part of your life. Overcoming one’s insecurities is about breaking from old habits and patterns of behavior. In turn, you replace them with empowering habits, daily rituals, and routines which support your positive goals and objectives. Also at the same time, you nuture a new set of beliefs that align with those positive habits. Eventually, you will acquire the mental strength and force to overcome your insecurities.
Everything is subjective (based on personal feelings, taste or opinions). We interpret things based on our own past experiences, beliefs, values, and expectations. The guiding force is not what happens to us, but rather how we interpret each experience we encounter.  So, secure your insecurities in life and know that you are the strongest advocate  when it comes to making positive changes in our life. I hope this helps.
Winter Always Turn into Spring,
Gwendolyn

mid-life crisis fast approaching lmao.
bruh moesha made 30 seem hella old. im freaking 29, im definitely not old.
do all 30 year olds feel this? is this fucking cliche? is this what being a millenial feels like?
freaking. andell seems like she should be at least 45 shes had a business forever, she looks oldish, hella independent with ehr own moneey, yeah she keeps getting played by her lover but the d is probably great and she doesn’t need “love” bc she’s not dependent on it for basic necessities. but she needs love so she has hope. she’s woke but understanding when someone who doesn’t understand yet. she supports the kids but says it like it is. i can def see some bits of myself in her but bruh, at least 35? bc im 29 and 1 im not as independent, and 2, im def not as old.
but i also kind of get how shes a 30 year old but do 30 year olds get the respect of older people? does andell get respect from older people? idk man tv makes teens look like 20-something and 30 eyar olds look like my mom. dee hangs with andell, she’s def not 30. but then again we hang with older people, no?
are 30 year olds friends-ish with teens and like older folks all at once a millenial thing? i mean i def have older friends bc of work, and hang with my siblings who are a generation older and as a teacher i talk to kids who are teens but i wouldn’t be friends with them? unless you consider my nieces and nephews, and some much younger coworkers.
but if im “superior” to them in some way im basically a mentor and ugh. maybe andell is 30.
that same moesha episode has gotten me thinking about highschool. and what a fucking shitfest it was. i mean, why the hell was i so pressed instead of just being a fucking kid? like, i def ended up where i wanted to and realized it sucked even more (college), esp the way i did it initially, but once i got over the fucking ivory tower and american dream bc i reallized it was never made to include me to a certain extent (the whole identity crisis over foreclosure of identity from the every day--being unwanted by the same thing interpellating its allegiance to you, how all that crap felt of being a --insert almost every pressed identity grouping here-- at a fucking --insert ever agrandized fucking included, repressive identity force here--insitution. high school wasn’t bougie enough i think. like everyone was like closer to the ground class wise so maybe it didnt feel like a big enough ocean yet. a friend told me post highschool or maybe at graduation that im going to be the big fish in the little pond trying to swim in the ocean or some quote like that. fucking i was, if not socially which i honestly didnt even try and fucking got ostracized from anyway, def on top academically and fucking TEACHERS were trying to push me down but like i still got to exactly where i wanted to go. and i fucking had a wonderful time there. got kicked out but became a whole ass human being who found so many homes with people and so many loving arms and caring friends and fucking insane moments and memories and fucking became who i am today--a fucking cool as andell like adult with a full and complete social life if not financial or career life like im ok dude. ive accomplished enough even if capitalist might make me feel like i havent accomplished anything. much like the racist ass teachers made me feel and the racist ass kids made me feel about being smart in a fucking shitfest and where the other brown kids were just in competition with me. i had no friends. i lie, i had a few. and i had the respect of a few. and i guess that makes like maybe a dozen people--hold on let me count, i think 9 people, that im cool with from high school, 3 who are close to me, 1 who fucking hates me post-college life and would try to talk shit or ruin me maybe but i miss her and we were fucking close at some point. and then a bunch of people who probably dont give a shit no longer bc we’re all adults who need to move on with our lives. i hope theyre not petty and hate me just bc of high school.
i wonder if any respect me now lol. aside from those i know, do any of them like feel bad kind of for not being a better person to me? maybe i was a bitch too though. but thats only bc i was lowkey power hungry and just wanted to get into fucking the college of my dreams and had been fed that academic success led to fianncial success and overall joy de vivre  or however oyu fucking spell it.
id still be down to be friends with whoever wants but dont have the time or energy to deal with the pettiness. i think this year was supposed to be our 10 yr reunion and idk if theyll do it bc of covid or not but fucking would i even wanna go? im still so traumatized from it idk if id wanna be judged that hard again.
fucking, i wish i was chiller back then. had realized i could be creative and look good and be more confident if i wanted to. but i guess i wouldnt be who i am had that shit not happened but i also suffer from extreme anxiety adn depression now so like maybe, people could ease up on the judgement and hatred and constant barriers and shit talking and like, lowkey bullying down a notch. these white and white washed brown kids had me fucked up.
i wish i had just like, been able to chill and be accepted a little more. but i wish the people who were chill with me couldve been more  comfortable or confident in being who they were. 
i remember ending freshman year, confident that i would have friends at the end of high school sitting between the coolest and queerest two people i could imagine showing off my hot pink ipod 3G or whatever. and then hanging out in the city with a few people on the last day. i dont even remember what we did. maybe olive garden in times square? it was def times square. the big toys r us in the city with the dance dance revolution. who the fuck were the people with us? was that even freshman year or is that a memory from some other time? i dotn fucking remember much of the good times in high school anymore. more shitty times.
but fucking, if people had been loyal would i have been a diff person? def s j and j and then later n but w during the first year and d all hugn out with me in college. and made freshman year bareable and some sitll continue to make life bareable and for me to feel loved in this day adn age adn i know the freindshipsare genuine now but i wonder if id have more people from high school as my friends just bc i fucking get attached to people bc of the whole empathy thing and like we knew eachother for good chunks of our lives, we should keep up with eachother and make sure we’re ok. but also like, did we even show care back then?
i wish id lived the teen life a little more though. like my husband did. like so many of my more normal than me feeling friends did but i wonder how many of my college friends actually liked their high school years lmao.
fucking. whatever. i probably wouldnt go to the reunion if it happened tho, fucking miss me with that shit.
andell is cool. she didnt get mad at moesha for missing her party since hs ehad a great time on her birthday thanks to her, and instead was proud that she put out a good newspaper. im def like, maybe if aliha missed my party id be happy and proud of her for her acocmplioshed but id still be pouty adn idk if that makes me much younger tahn andell or if thats just the whiny cancer gemini in me.
omg we need andells chart to udnerstand if she’s actually 30 lmao and just mature for her own age or if that show is trippig about depicting her as 30 bc shes def oldr. wonder how old the actress was.
thats an easy google fix but im just gonna keep watching and pondering lmao.
man there were some teachers at that fucking school who did not wanna see me succeed in life. and to have your advisor be that teacher really fucks with you. what a fucking bitch i think she hated me. the other people im friends with loved her tho but i think she was really just a racist. she pushed me hard but made things harder for me for no reason. thank god i got out of there in one piece, and with some confidence left in me. 
i need to go to therapy again fuck.

Exactly How Does Medical Marijuana Work For Weight Reduction From Lack Of Appetite?
"At the Peace in Medication Recovery Facility in Sebastopol, the merchandises on display screen include dried out cannabis - including brands like Kryptonite, Voodoo Dad as well as Train Accident - and also medicinal cookies organized below an indicator saying, ""Shut out of Reach of Your Mother.""
A number of Bay Area medical professionals who suggest clinical cannabis for their people said in recent interviews that their client base had expanded to consist of teenagers with psychiatric problems consisting of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
"" It's not everyone's medicine, but also for some, it can make a profound distinction,"" claimed Valerie Corral, a founder of the Wo/Men's Partnership for Medical Cannabis, an individuals' cumulative in Santa Cruz that has two loads minors as registered clients.
Due to the fact that The golden state does not call for physicians to report cases involving clinical cannabis, no trusted data exist for how many minors have been accredited to obtain it. However Dr. Jean Talleyrand, that founded MediCann, a network in Oakland of 20 centers that license clients to utilize the medication, stated his team member had actually treated as many as 50 individuals ages 14 to 18 who had A.D.H.D. Bay Location physicians have actually gone to the center of the intense dispute about medical marijuana, winning resistance for individuals with major ailments like incurable cancer cells as well as HELP. Yet as these doctors utilize their discernment a lot more liberally, such assistance - also here - may be more difficult to summon, specifically when it pertains to making use of cannabis to deal with teens with A.D.H.D.
"" The number of methods can one say 'among the worst ideas of all time?'"" asked Stephen Hinshaw, the chairman of the psychology division at the University of The Golden State, Berkeley. He pointed out researches revealing that tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the energetic component in marijuana, interferes with attention, memory, and focus - functions already jeopardized in people with attention-deficit disorder.
Supporters are equally as adamant, though they are in an unique minority. ""It's safer than aspirin,"" Dr. Talleyrand stated. He and also other marijuana advocates keep that it is additionally more secure than methylphenidate (Ritalin), the energizer prescription medicine usually utilized to deal with A.D.H.D. That drug has actually recorded prospective negative effects consisting of sleeplessness, anxiety, facial tics, as well as stunted growth.
In 1996, voters accepted a tally proposal making California the initial state to legislate clinical marijuana. Twelve various other states have done the same - enabling marijuana for a number of specified, major conditions including cancer cells and also HELP - yet just The golden state adds the grab-bag expression ""for any other disease for which cannabis supplies alleviation.""
youtube
This has left those physicians willing to ""advise"" cannabis - in the Alice-in-Wonderland world of medical cannabis, they can not legitimately prescribe it - with the flexibility that some use to a bold degree. ""You can get it for a backache,"" claimed Keith Stroup, the creator of the National Company for the Reform of Marijuana Regulations.
Nevertheless, expanding its usage amongst youths is controversial even amongst physicians who accredit medical cannabis.
Genetics Schoenfeld, a doctor in Sausalito, stated, ""I wouldn't do it for anybody under 21 unless they have a serious problem such as cancer or HELP.""
Dr. Schoenfeld included, ""It's harmful to teenagers who persistantly utilize it, and also if it's being used clinically, that implies persistent use.""
Dr. Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, stated she was especially fretted about the danger of dependency - a danger she claimed was currently high amongst teens and also individuals with attention-deficit problem.
Counterproductive as it might seem, nonetheless, clients as well as physicians have actually been reporting that cannabis assists reduce several of the signs, particularly the stress and anxiety and temper that so frequently go along with A.D.H.D. The condition has actually been diagnosed in greater than 4.5 million kids in the United States, according to the Centers for Condition Control and also Prevention.
Scientists have actually linked the use of cannabis by teens to increased risk of psychosis and also schizophrenia for people genetically inclined to those ailments. Nonetheless, one 2008 record in the journal Schizophrenia Study suggested that the incidence of psychological illness among teenagers with the condition that made use of marijuana was lower than that of nonusers.
Cannabis is ""a godsend"" for some people with A.D.H.D., stated Dr. Edward M. Hallowell, a psychoanalyst who has actually composed numerous publications on the disorder. Nonetheless, Dr. Hallowell claimed he prevents his patients from using it, both since it is - mostly - unlawful, and also since his observations show that ""it can cause a syndrome in which all the person wants to do all the time is obtain stoned, as well as they not do anything else.""
Tumblr media
Till the age of 18, people asking for clinical cannabis must be gone along with to the medical professional's appointment and also to the dispensaries by a parent or accredited caregiver. Some doctors spoke with said they suspected that in at least some cases, moms and dads were accompanying their youngsters primarily with the hope that clinical consent would certainly allow the teenagers to avoid buying medications on the street.
A recent College of Michigan study found that more than 40 percent of senior high school students had actually tried cannabis.
"" I do not have an issue with that, as long as we can have our clinical conversation,"" Dr. Talleyrand stated, adding that individuals need to have medical records to be seen by his doctors.
The Medical Board of The golden state began examining Dr. Talleyrand in the springtime, claimed a board spokesperson, Candis Cohen, after a KGO-TV report thorough questionable methods at MediCann facilities, which, the report claimed, had actually earned a minimum of $10 million in five years.
Dr. Talleyrand and also his team member are not the only one in being willing to suggest cannabis for minors. In Berkeley, Dr. Frank Lucido stated he was questioned by the medical board yet inevitably not disciplined after he licensed marijuana for a 16-year-old boy with A.D.H.D. that had tried Ritalin unsuccessfully as well as was racking up a document of small arrests.
Within a year of the brand-new therapy, he said, the young boy was getting better grades and also was also elected president of his special-education class. ""He was telling his mother: 'My mind works. I can think,'"" Dr. Lucido stated.
"" With any type of drug, you evaluate the advantages versus the dangers,"" he added.
Even so, MediCann clients that obtain the permission should authorize a form listing feasible drawbacks of cannabis usage, consisting of ""mental sluggishness,"" memory problems, uneasiness, complication, ""enhanced talkativeness,"" fast heartbeat, trouble in finishing complex tasks and also hunger.

He and also other cannabis supporters keep that it is likewise more secure than methylphenidate (Ritalin), the energizer prescription medicine usually used to treat A.D.H.D. That drug has actually recorded possible negative effects consisting of sleeping disorders, anxiety, facial tics, and stunted growth.
In 1996, voters authorized a tally suggestion making The golden state the initial state to legislate medical marijuana. Twelve various other states have actually followed suit - permitting cannabis for a number of specified, major conditions including cancer and also AIDS - however just California includes the grab-bag expression ""for any other disease for which cannabis provides alleviation.""

faq.
Tumblr media
What is a Big Bang?
A big bang (traditionally a 50,000 word challenge -- which is why this one is much smaller) is a type of challenge in which authors have a set amount of time to write a fic of specified minimum length, which is then claimed by an artist who will create at least one (1) piece based on one or more scenes in the story.
Authors and artists function as a team, sharing a posting date and masterpost on the blog. You will communicate directly with one another over the platform of your choice (we highly suggest KKT since we will be requesting your KKT IDs). Please keep in mind this is not a commission. Artists may choose to illustrate something other than the scenes an author had in mind. For a successful collaboration, communication is key. You are both creators with your own visions, so be respectful.
In the event that an artist has to drop out after claims (emergencies happen), we will arrange for a pinch hitter, someone who steps in to create art at the last minute.
Do I have to be part of a partnering/promoting net to be able to enter?
No! Being part of a partnering net has its perks, but it is not mandatory at all! The event is open to everyone who wants to participate and the nets are there to help us promote it and encourage people to participate!
Is there a specific pairing we need to respect? A theme?
There are no specific pairings to respect, however this is an event for mxm fics only, so mxr fics are not accepted. However we do accept multiple and polyamorous pairings, as well as no pairings at all!
As for a theme, like the name of the event says, your story has to revolve around HYYH era. This includes: I Need U, Run, Prologue, the Highlight Reel, Euphoria, and HYYH The Notes.
Do I need to have already written/drawn for a challenge to participate?
No you don't! However a big bang can end up being a big commitment, so we ask that you make sure you are able to reach the minimal word count in time, or have some experience as an artist/graphic maker to sign in. This way we'll know everyone signing up is as serious about this as their partner(s). This is not something that you throw together during one weekend before the deadline hits.
I just signed up! How do I know if I've been accepted?
Once you've filled out the sign up form, you'll be receiving a default email to confirm all your answers. It is only when sign ups are closed that you will be receiving an email that confirms we've received your submission and you are a participant in the HYYHBB. If you do not receive the email after we post about sending them out, then you will be able to contact us with any questions so that we may clarify what happened.
In what timezone are the deadlines/what time is that for me?
All deadlines are for Midnight, Pago Pago time!
To find out what time that is for you, check it out here
[Insert any question about submissions and/or claiming]
We will not be answering any questions about summary submissions or claiming before the time comes. Everything will be explained in the email(s) you will be receiving, so do not worry about it. If you still have questions after the emails are sent, that is when we will answer questions on the matter(s).
I signed up as an author/artist/beta/pinch hitter, can I sign up for another role/more than once for that role as well?
It depends on which role you have signed up for/wish to sign up again for. We have a hard limit of one story per person, even if it is a co-authored one. However, you may sign up for artist, beta, or pinch hitter more than once, and you'll be able to do so once claiming starts.
I signed up as an artist/beta. When will I know what story I'll be working on?
You choose which story you'll be working on when claiming comes! You will receive a detailed email a week prior to the claims opening, and it will contain all the information necessary.
I'm not sure how to warn/tag my story? How does it work?
We have created a detailed warnings guide you can consult here to help you with warnings. We also have tagging guidelines up here that will be especially useful once it comes to submitting and posting your story!
Why do you limit what underage authors, artists, and betas can write/claim?
Where the admins live, people under 18 are considered as minors. We have no interest in policing what you read/write/create on your own time, but you cannot create anything in this challenge which could have legal consequences for another participant (such as your partner) or one of us. In other words:
IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WHEN YOU SIGN UP – no matter if you are comfortable/used to/already write content with such ratings, or if you turn 18 sometime between sign ups and posting – YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SUBMIT CONTENT THAT IS RATED EITHER MATURE OR EXPLICIT.
The age you are when you sign up is the age we’ll use for the duration of the challenge. Your previous works or your reading list are not ways for you to get to be an exception to the rule. It is there for a reason and we will not – ever – budge on this.
If you do not wish to comply to this – very clear and simple – rule, you can choose to abstain from taking part in the challenge. If you sign up and persist in writing a story that is has a rating anything above teen and up, you will be banned and blacklisted from the challenge.
NOTICE THAT THIS APPLIES TO ARTISTS, BETAS, AND PINCH HITTERS TOO. If you are under the age of 18 when you sign up, you may not claim a story that is rated anything above teen and up.
WE WILL NOT BE ANSWERING ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. IF YOU ARE UNDER UNDERAGE YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THIS, OR YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE CHALLENGE. Any ask/message we receive concerning the matter will automatically be ignored and deleted.
Tumblr media
Please make sure you've read the entirety of our faq, the rules , the calendar and our answered asks before asking us anything, as this will avoid us having to answer the same questions over and over again. Note that if your question can be answered by checking any of these pages, it will either be ignored or we will answer only by telling you to read those pages carefully.

PLEASE DO NOT REBLOG THIS POST.

Dedication
This one goes out to all my teen librarians.
I saw a question/declaration come up twice in the last week. Once in person, once online. So, I thought I’d share where I’m coming from. 
When it comes to teenagers in the library, a question libraries often wrestle with is whether or not it’s good to have a dedicated space for teens. Meaning an area for use exclusively by teens, usually closed off from the rest of the library in some way. 
This is an issue of EXTREME passion for some folks, and I totally get it. I’ll be as fair as I can.
Tumblr media
Arguments In Favor:
1. Many Teens Don’t Have A Space Dedicated To Them At Home Or Elsewhere:
I know this isn’t exclusive to teens, but it’s true. Lots of teens might not have room at home they could call their own. 
2. It Can Give Teens A Sense Of Belonging In The Library
I might go so far as to say ownership. 
3. It’s Hard To Get Teens In The Library
There are probably a ton of librarians out there saying, “I don’t struggle with this at all.” Well, bully for you. Teens, especially older ones, are a group that we don’t always see a lot of. If a dedicated space brings them in, I can think of much worse uses of a space.
And thus ends my arguments in favor. I think they’re very typical, and I don’t want to undervalue them. 
Arguments Against:
1. The Problem of Dedicated Use
I want to take away, for a moment, from the idea of a teen space and talk about spaces dedicated to an audience. 
There are some problems inherent in saying that a given space is for the exclusive use of one group. I want to talk about this from a practical standpoint, less so a “this is ageism” standpoint. It totally is, because where is the dedicated space for seniors? But that’s not the big problem I have with it. 
Let’s say you did have a space dedicated to senior citizens. You decided to revolutionize the library. After all, baby boomers are aging, and they certainly represent a core audience of users. So you put out some sweet recliners, a big-ass jigsaw puzzle...you know what? Forget the seniors. This is where I want to hang out.
Tumblr media
Anyway, you have the space.
This creates a couple problems.
First, how will you regulate the use? You will need an employee dedicated to that space whenever it’s available, checking that no whippersnappers are making their way into the senior area to use the space or resources you might have inside. 
You will also need to empower that employee to make decisions. It’s probably not reasonable to force adults to show an ID. If we can flip back to teenagers for a second, are you going to question someone who looks 12? Because I looked 12 until I was about 18, and I was a little sensitive to that fact. So, if I was hassled about entering a space that was supposedly for me, reminded yet again that I was a little behind developmentally, I don’t think I’d head back there soon. 
Whatever is decided needs to be consistent and manageable. 
Regulating use is a problem, and here’s the flipside: Do you then force seniors to use the senior space? Let’s say a senior is occupying a computer outside the senior space. A 20-something comes along and says, “Hey, the computers are full. I notice there’s a senior citizen using one, and that dude could totally use a computer in the senior zone, which are unoccupied.” This person is making a valid point. 
2. Collections
In most of this I try to be fair, however I think having the teen collection in the dedicated teen space is a big problem.
I visited a library set up like this once. I get it. If you have a space for teens, there should be stuff for them in there. But I wanted to check out their comics, and I couldn’t. I mean, I COULD. They had some signage indicating that it was okay to pop in for the sake of materials. But I didn’t think it was worth it. Especially as an older man. 
Sidebar: 
The comfort level going into a teen space like that is different for an adult man than an adult woman. An adult man who is around teens is suspicious to most people. You might be disagreeing right now, and if you are, I’m betting you’re an adult woman. Some of my female colleagues have done things I would NEVER do, such as giving rides on the sly. I would sooner call a taxi and pay for it to get a teen home than give a ride myself. I don’t say that as a bad thing, I say that as a show of the fact that things are just a bit different. We work in a female-dominated industry, and the comfort level of the world at large when it comes to adult men being around teens is probably a blind spot for many of us. I’m putting it out there, I think adult male patrons are even less likely to get a material from the teen area than an adult female patron. 
End sidebar.
There are lots of issues. Will an adult reader of teen fiction be ashamed they’re reading teen fiction and be hesitant to ask to access it? Will an adult reader put stuff on hold and miss out on browsing opportunity? Will a young child who reads above their level (in terms of grade level or interest maturity) have a barrier between them and the stuff that’s suited to their needs/interests?
Point being, if you are going with a dedicated teen space, I would strongly encourage you to keep the majority of materials outside. Curate some stuff, bring it in, have it on display and accessible, but the collection needs to be for everyone.
3. Practical Concerns
We talked a lot about whether we wanted a dedicated, closed teen space when we did a renovation years ago. We decided against it. The main reason is that during most of our open hours, there are very few, if any, teens in the building. From 9-4 on weekdays, it’s highly unlikely you’ll see teens hanging around. We also don’t have a big audience on weekends. Mostly it’s an afterschool crowd.
What could we do to create a space that works during the majority of our open hours? 
What we did was to create a teen space that’s not exclusive, but it encourages use by teens through furniture styles, appearance, and proximity to relevant collections. Also, when we receive complaints about the noise level in the area, we gently remind the non-teen users that this is a teen area, it’s busier after school, and might we try and move them to an area that’s less active?
In other words, we HAVE a teen space, but it’s regulated by being pro-teen rather than anti-adult. Which means that it is useful during times when teens can’t/won’t use the library. 
4. Space or Warehouse
I’ve worked for people (and you probably have too) who totally want a teen space, but for all the wrong reasons. They don’t really like teens all that much, and for them, warehousing them somewhere separate is the ideal situation. 
This is just Pete’s Social Theory Backed By Nothing, so take it for what it’s worth (almost nothing):
I think it’s a good, healthy thing for teens and adults to learn how to coexist in a space. Rather than forcing them apart, I think it’s good for teens  and adults to interact without a referee present. One is available if things get out of hand, but isn’t necessarily monitoring the area at all times.
Tumblr media
I don’t think this to the extent that I condemn teen spaces or think they’re a terrible idea. For lots of setups, and depending on the audiences you see in your library and the issues you’re facing, it might be a great solution. You might have surplus space. Maybe your library has a space that works really well for this purpose. 
What I am saying is that you shouldn’t beat yourself up for not having an exclusive teen space or perhaps not even wanting one. Because there’s something to be said for not having one, and you never know. Maybe working around it will serve you better in the end.

How easy is it to change my car insurance?
I am 23, and never changed my car insurance before. I had it for 5 years. I paid $65, then after a ticket, over a year ago it suddenly went to $87. That is with progressive. Esurance offered me $55 for same coverage. If I usually pay on the 20th, can I call them up, set up new plan, and have it start on 20th, and have old one stop on 20th, without another bank deduction?""
Auto insurance history question!?
I'm trying to get auto insurance for the second 6-month period of having my car. I don't get the question in applications for auto insurance (or getting a quote): Have you had auto insurance for the past 3 years without break or lapse in coverage? Well I have my first car for almost 6 months (fully insured), so I check no . but then it gives me two options: how long were you without coverage: a) more than one month / never had insurance b) less than one month I guess this question is trying to find out if I had a break in coverage. There isn't any break in my car insurance but I only have 6 month history! Is it OK if I say yes to the first question (Have you had auto insurance for the past 3 years without break or lapse in coverage) ? Thanks in advance""

Getting my baby on insurance?
I'm 20, unmarried, and a full-time nursing student, so I still have insurance through my parents. I live with my boyfriend, my baby's dad, and he has insurance through the hospital where he works. His insurance isn't too expensive for him, but if he were to add the baby onto his policy, the price would nealy double, taking almost half his paycheck every month. I work as much as I can parttime, but with taking fulltime classes, along with clinicals, there's no way I can work fulltime right now. We would be considered low-income, and I know my baby would be eligible for medicaid. I'm only 26 weeks along, but I really want to have everything arranged by the time he gets here. Who would I contact for more details about getting on it? We've never used any kind of supplemental assistance like this, so I really don't even know where to go. It's probably too early right now, but when would I need to start filling out the paperwork?? Thanks for your help!!!""
""Obamacare supporters, question for you.?""
Actually a few questions. Which magic money fairy will appear to bestow money upon those who couldn't afford insurance before the mandate to allow them to afford it after the mandate? The Obama administration has already granted enough exemptions that the whole concept is pretty well doomed. Is there another magic money fairy that will appear and make up for all the exemptions they've already given? If your old enough to remember when your state made auto insurance mandatory how many fold did your auto insurance go up in the next five years. Mine went up %350 after insurance became mandatory. In light of this how would you not expect health insurance costs to do the same. Hasn't Obama essentially created a monopoly and forced American citizens to throw their money at health insurance. Given that half or more of the cost of seeing a doc IS insurance itself. Wouldn't LESS insurance be the answer not more insurance? You go to a clinic that accepts no form of insurance and you are paying only slightly more than folks pay in co-pay. Then your done. The insured usually gets a bill for at least part of the visit that's not covered and on top of that they have their premium deducted. For most people insurance is a losing proposition. Insurance companies being for profit institutions will go out of business if they don't make a profit. As such mandatory health insurance means you will certainly pay more for health care than if you pay out of pocket. The discounts given to insurance companies do not make up for the overhead costs that insurance companies force providers to go through. Nor do they make up for the no pays and slow pays so common from insurance companies. As such one sure way to raise the cost of health care in the US is to require insurance. If you got more out of it than you put in the insurance companies would go broke. Insurance companies regularly restrict activities and or penalize people for engaging in what they consider high risk activities. Athletes are especially restricted. Having a monopoly why would they not do the same for everyone? Snowboarders, Smokers, bungee jumping, riding a motorcycle all dangerous activities already prohibited by many insurance policies. How do you propose to prevent insurance companies from becoming lawmakers using collusion which they openly engage in already to prohibit activities? Before Obamacare if you didn't like it you just did without insurance. Insurance companies have had to be conservative with what they mandate and prohibit because of that choice. With that choice gone now what? Insurance companies have regularly engaged in activities to the detriment of a patients welfare in the past. HMOs especially forced Docs not only to give patients substandard but cheaper care they have gone as far as prohibiting doctors from letting you know that you cannot receive the normal standard of care because of restrictions by your insurance. The unprecedented power handed insurance execs by Obamacare will clearly change how medicine is practiced in the US and that doesn't worry you? If everybody has insurance then insurance companies will dictate to Docs what they can and cannot do as they do if Docs participate in HMO and even some PPO programs. The idea that we MUST purchase a product, doesn't that bother you? Today it's health insurance. Tomorrow maybe it's socks. How can the Gov FORCE you to buy anything? Don't hand me the auto insurance scam. Mandatory auto insurance hasn't significantly reduced accidents, hasn't reduced losses to uninsured drivers. It has made insurance far more expensive for all. It does violate a basic principle of individual sovereignty that is supposed to be a key component of any free society. What will they make us buy next? In 20 years will gov mandated expenses consume the entire budget of the average American? How do you stop such a beast once it starts rolling? Millions of Americans will lose everything they have because of Obamacare. They will make just a little too much to be exempted or the time/effort to get an exemption will be impossible given their work schedule or they will have a valid exemption or be rejected for invalid reasons and unfairly prosecuted. Sure they might eventually get it straitened out but not before it gets them tossed in jail. Literally millions will be left homeless by this law in the first 5 years. Doesn't that bother you?""

USAA Auto insurance extra monthly bill?
Hi we've been with USAA for over 10 yrs now for our Auto/Recreation insurance company. This month on our bill i noticed our rates went up by 35+ dollars per month. I called and they said nothing has changed in our policy. They told us because the dates our policy renewed we have an extra bill in this cycle. So they had to charge us more so we wouldn't have to pay 2 bills in 1 month. I am so confused it seems like were making an extra payment for nothing. We Pay every month on time , so I'm not sure why we have to pay an extra payment to avoid a double billing. Only thing they could tell me is that it happens to alot of policyholders once or twice in the lifetime of the policy. Seems strange to me. Thanks for your responses!""

Financial responsability in California (auto insurance) ticket.?
So I was recently given a citation during a trip to Northern California. Here's the condensed version; I went out with a group of friends to have dinner and drinks. It was about 10 people altogether, three car loads. I was originally not one of the drivers (I flew in from Southern California). Several of my friends/acquiantances drank heavily during dinner. I was asked as a favor to drive one of the car and the car owner's home. The car I drove belonged to my good friend's neighbor. I received a speeding ticket during the drive to the neighbor's home (73 in a 65) PLUS no insurance!!! I informed the officer that it was not my car and that it belonged to the passed out lady in the back but he didn't care and decided to write me the ticket anyway. Now I've been told that I will have to pay for it ($988) plus my speeding ticket. I spoke with my good friend about it but the neighbor now refuses to go to court with me or write a letter at the least explaining the scenario.""

Hi, I just got my license and as a teen car insurance is INCREDIBLY expensive. I was wondering if it was legal for me to drive my sisters car. She lives at a different address from me and the insurance is under her name. So if i crashed the car or anything would the insurance still cover it?""

Why Teens Struggle When Their Parents Get a Divorce

Why Teens Struggle When Their Parents Get a Divorce
When my ex-husband and I announced we’d be separating, our three kids had three different reactions. Of course, part of these was because they are three different people, but I think some of was due to their different ages. They were all heartbroken, yes, but it hit my teenager the hardest, I could tell.
After the initial shock of the situation wore off, he returned to his normal self a little bit too quickly. He didn’t want to talk about it. He said it really didn’t affect him and he was fine with the change, but as his mother, I knew better. I could see the signs he was hurting even if he wasn’t able to verbalize what was going on inside his head– I don’t even think he fully understood it.
I was warned it might be harder on my teenager that it would be on my 10 and 11-year-old.  A friend told me teens were at a higher risk for anxiety and depression after hearing of their parent’s divorce than tweens or younger kids were.
My son was telling me he was fine, but what was really happening was he was stuffing his feelings. And so, he was trying to show everyone he was fine, but of course it was affecting him– it affects everyone involved. Just because teens are older, more mature, and have a social life that feels more important than their home life, doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting and deeply saddened by what their family is going through.

As hard as my ex-husband and I have worked to make things bearable for our children, they still aren’t okay all of the time. And while I do believe our current situation is better for our family than my ex and I living under the same roof– an unhappy marriage can have harmful effects on children, too, it doesn’t mean I am exempt from watching out for signs they are in distress just because they assure me they are “doing just fine.”
And for us, our oldest (who is 14), is struggling the most. It’s evident in his school work, and his overall attitude. My highest priority right now is on my kids, and while the change has not been detrimental to any of them, and they seem happy most of the time, I want to stay on top of it.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, we all wear a mask sometimes and it seems teens do more of that than younger kids in cases like this.
I spoke with Julia Colangelo, a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, about how divorce can affect older kids, and she confirmed what I had heard from a friend was true in some cases: that it can have more of an impact on older kids.
Some of the reasons being: “One main effect is that teens or young adults have adjusted to the vision of their family as an ‘intact family’ and when this reality is suddenly or gradually shifted once they have identified as ‘a kid with one home and married parents’ to a ‘young adult with divorced parents’ it can bring up feelings of shame and doubt,” Colangelo says.
Things to look out for in all your children, but especially older kids, is withdrawal from activities they used to love to do, or from the family. Colangelo says kids might start to avoid family time when they can and that ” with college students, this may manifest in not coming home for holidays or winter/spring breaks because they ‘don’t want to deal.’ Sometimes also an over dependence on the parents and becoming caregivers to one or both parents separately can exacerbate these symptoms of depression and hopelessness,” she says.
Colangelo says the best way for parents to help their children deal with divorce is to communicate with them, and let them know there is help available and offer to let them talk with a therapist or counselor.
She also emphasizes the fact that just because teens and our children who are in their 20s are older, they still need honesty and reassurance this situation is not their fault.
It’s also important for you to acknowledge this does, in fact, have a huge impact on their life and it wasn’t in the plan without over explaining yourself, or getting into too many details about why your marriage is ending.
Divorce can lead to so many unknowns, but I was thankful that I had a little bit of foresight about how my older child may deal with it– it has helped us tremendously.
