Friends With Benefits: Is It Really Worth It?

If you are one of those people who likes to have fun without strings attached then you need to read this post. There's some crucial information right here and we will also talk about certain situations which you might need to know about. But even if you are just debating becoming friends with benefits with someone... You need to think about whether it's worth it or not. First of all, lot's look at the very obvious benefits when it comes to having someone that you can always hit up with a booty call. Pros For most people, it's the physical aspect. Orgasms are always nice. They make you stress-free and fill you up with happiness hormones that can have an effect on you for up to a couple of hours. How would you not want that all the time? Unfortunately, in most cases, only friends with benefits relationships are the only ones that can provide you with a lot of sex for a long period of time.

Teaching Your Child Respect - How To Raise A Good Human Being

One of the most difficult problems in parenting is teaching a child how and why they should respect others. It's crucial, as this is becoming a major inconvenience in schools, where children don't recognize the authoritarian figure.

So, how should you teach your child about respect?



First of all, what do you consider respectful behavior? It can be anything from everyday politeness to unconventional courtesy. But in general, it includes:
  • Letting others speak without interrupting them
  • Paying attention
  • Greeting them first
  • Following orders without whining
  • Just generally being polite

Of course, respect isn't all black and white, sometimes you need to tune it down or up, which you need to explain. Because of this, there are several things they need to take into consideration. The main ones: age, gender, authority.

You should already know how this works, but just in case, proper etiquette dictates that:
The younger ones respect the elders.
Those of a lower status respect the people above them.
And finally, men should always respect women.

The importance rating of these is the same as I've listed. Age comes first.

But of course, children should know that respect is a "two edged sword". Meaning that they deserve respect too and should not be treated any less just because of these factors. A young boy is not any less of a human than their caretaker and they need to acknowledge that. Don't give your child an inferiority complex just because you want them to be polite.

And the most important thing: some people absolutely do not deserve to be respected. Teach your child to stand up for themselves and not take any kind of treatment that's bad for them. They should know to value themselves enough to not act like a doormat. (Although, it's quite easy to end up on the other side of things, so make sure they know when they need to respect someone.)
