stop the phrase “tattle-tale”. stop indirectly telling kids that if they speak up about someone that’s bothering them, they’re doing something bad. stop contributing to the culture of abuse.
seriously though this NEEDS to stop. my mother. a grownass woman of 59. had to ask me over and over again if I was sure it wasn’t ethically dubious for her to go to her employer and report harassment and terror tactics from a coworker because she didn’t “want to be a tattler.” stop teaching kids not to be “tattle-tales” because they will not grow out of it.
If someone underage initiates a sexual conversation with you- which isn’t just them asking for advice or sex ed -it is up to you, the adult, to shut the conversation down. You do not reciprocate and start speaking sexually/flirting back at them, even if the minor claims they don’t mind.
You shut down the conversation and leave because you’re the fucking adult. Stop being sexual to children even if they start it and say they aren’t bothered- they’re still underage and it is your responsibility as the adult to stop it.
Terry Crews of Brooklyn 99 gives the best advice on physical fitness.
Seriously, his Reddit AMAis the most genuinely upbeat, positive actor interview ever. Another great bit:
To be honest, this was the healthiest advice for getting into working out I’ve ever read, and it really was the inspiration for me to start running and going to the gym.
No judgement, no “you need to be doing this” mess. Just a simple “do what you can. and feel comfortable”
I used to. Not anymore. My life is in no comparison with anyone else’s life nor should it ever be because good, bad, up, down, left, right, etc. in a life is all perspective of those who are living it.
For more than 50 years, Barbie has been an icon of fashion and beauty — and body type. Now, Mattel is doing something to forever change what Barbie can actually look like. It’s introducing three new body types: petite, curvy and tall, along with seven skin tones and 22 eye colors. One tweet from a fan shows the subtle detail that makes this so amazing.
