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. If you get yourself a boyfriend or girlfriend then it's much di...

Have You Had An "I Could Not Be Happier" Moment? - It Reveals Everything You Want From A Relationship

The simplest way to find out your true intentions when starting a relationship is looking at the things that happened when you were happy. Yeah, I know, when I tried figuring these kinds of things first I was confused too and when this came to mind I was just like... Duh? Family This is usually the most common reason for people in their thirties to get into a relationship and quite honestly, the most logical. The ones who want a stable and reliable partner are also the ones who view family as a core part of a person's life, require a good amount of attention and are very likely caring. (Pro tip: they are the most ideal people to marry if you plan on having kids.) How you know this is what you want: You put stability first (in every aspect) and are not afraid to express that. You plan on getting into a long-term relationship each time you go on a date (you don't expect to, you just like to know how a partner would work out in a few years.) The moment: Y...

Blood Is Thicker Than Water - Is It True Though?

You guys... I'm done. I really am. But before I go on a small rant let me tell you about the true nature of this saying. Originally it went like this: “ The  blood of the covenant is thicker  than the water of the womb. ” Sounds weird like this, doesn't it? But yes, it doesn't raise the concept of a family on a pedestal, instead talks about the importance of bonds formed in battle. Today we use it fairly often and it's getting on my nerves. Want to know why? Because parents use this as a way to justify bullying and abuse in the family. He's only play fighting, a few bruises won't be the end of the world. She doesn't seriously think you're a moron, just because she calls you by this name every time she talks to you. Do you not understand jokes? We didn't mean it, even though we've said X a thousand times. I'm so fed up with people letting their children hurt each other physically/mentally, just because they...

What You Should And Shouldn't Tell Your Parents - The Guide For The Lost Teen

Well, I'm going to get a ton of hate for this... But there are times when you really shouldn't tell your parents something. Either because you don't want to, you can deal with it or it's just generally too embarrassing to talk about. So please, spare me all of the hateful comments saying: "Don't tell children to keep secrets from their parents!" Because I don't care that he/she has your blood, your kid can have secrets. They should be allowed to keep some things to themselves, because it's a healthy thing to actually have some privacy. Okay, let's clear something up first, your relationship with your parents should be the deciding factor for all this . If you feel like you can talk to them about whatever you're struggling with then go ahead. If you have a good relationship with them and you feel like they will understand then quit reading this and go. If you're conflicted then go ahead. Put your health first.  If ...

Mother Knows Best - The Truths And Lies About The Saying

We've been told to listen to our mothers from a very young age, because mother knows best. Well, once we start thinking for ourselves it becomes quite obvious, that the saying isn't a complete truth. "I'm your mother, I know what's best for you." "I have lived way longer than you, I know better." "Trust me, I only want the best for you, this is why you need to do this." How many times have we heard this? I'd say way too many. Being a mother basically means being morally untouchable, like an angel. Although, it is for a good reason. Mothers are known for their need to keep their child safe, and to keep them happy at all times. And they really do intend to do that, don't get me wrong! But sometimes this either goes overboard, or the mother doesn't really know what keeps their child in a positive mental and physical state. This doesn't mean that they're neglectful or bad moms, they just need a little guidanc...

Dear Mothers - Do You Know What Your Teen Daughter Needs?

Dear mothers, Before you get defensive or even aggressive towards me, because you think I'm judging you, let me tell you something. I'm a teen girl, and I only want to help, as sometimes you don't handle situations well which involve your daughters. So before you think that I'm calling you a bad mother, reevaluate what you're actually mad about, then tell me. Your opinion matters, I'm just stating the basics. So, teen girls, a pretty rough topic, we're the worst kinds of people, ranging from quiet nerds to raging alcoholics and party people. It's hard to pinpoint what each girl needs, but what I can tell you is what they really need at home and what kind of support they want from you. Let's start off by clarifying something. Most of you act like you don't want us to grow up. And that is seriously degrading, because you still treat us like little children. Which brings us to the first point. We're still little, precious bab...

How To Deal With An Unreasonable Mother

You thought this blog was only about romantic relationships? Well, it would be, but since I'm a teen, no way. Also, this post is applicable to fathers as well, but in my case it's a mother, so yeah. There's one thing in common in all people. We all have a mother. And as parents, they tend to be very biased and unreasonable. Not all the time, but it happens every now and then. You can't just let go of these situations, as it's unavoidable. Story time: Okay, you all knew this was coming, I live alone with my mom as a 17 year old, what could go wrong?!  The answer is: everything. But for the sake of this post, I'll tell you the example that is still ongoing. On Thursday my mother told me to stay at home and Friday so  I can study and clean. Which I did immediately after coming back. So I asked if I could go over to my boyfriend's house to sleep over. (That's what I do every Friday, mind you, this was not a special occasion.) To which she ...
