 Before I continue with my blog, here is some info before I get to the real story ;)

Cutting. What comes to mind when you see this word? When you hear it? Is there something that clicks that makes you think of cutting food or clay? Or do you get the thought that some one may actually do this to themselves? What thought comes to mind?

Over the last year I have met more people around my age who are virgins rather than sexual maniacs. Granted I am no longer the former, many young adults are holding out for that special person who they love. Some of the people I have met, even though virgins, have gone around the other bases a few times. Nevertheless most are waiting for marriage.

Suddenly I noticed that the world, and my friends, are moving on without me. I'm gone for a little while and suddenly BOOM, the bomb of social shit. So what do you do after this? After the shocking realization that you're left behind and didn't even notice?

So i was sitting in the mall the other day and a i notice a pregnant girl walk by me, she couldnt have been more than 16.... i didnt think much about it because well i see that all the time...then i started walking around and i saw another pregnant girl about the same age... i started thinking to myself whats with all the pregnant teens.

This morning's headlines on CNN include an article on sexual misconduct in juvenile delinquency centers in the United States. Detainees are being forced to have sex, apparently they engage in some sort of networking behavior where they move between cells. Surely, coerced sexual activity is nothing new in United States prisons.

People always say that celbrities have it so tough and that's the reason why they get away with performing some of the most insane acts. Its especially challenging for childhood stars being that they had to mature quickly and never truly lived a childhood.

The CDC recently conducted a study and found that 1 in 4 teenage girls are infected with some type of STD. That is equal to 3.2 million teenage girls nation wide. Also, in some places, 1 in 3 girls will become pregnant by the age of 20. That is an outrageous number when we have so many resources that we do not use properly.
