If you have kids or know kids listen up!!! There is a group called FIGHT THE NEW DRUG, google them and you will find them. This amazing group of young adults has taken it upon themselves to get the info about the harms of porn into the schools to stop youth from getting caught up in the complete BS. They are trying to prevent problems before they get out of hand or even start at all. If you are a parent or aunt or Grandpa whatever, you owe the kids in your life the time to check out this site and to read about what these guys and girls stand for and to support the work they are doing for your kids and our youth in this world!!!
I am currently trying to see if we can get one of their assemblies into my daughter's high school. This info needs to be shared and explained to the ones it affects most, the kids. I am not someone who is going to pretend this problem does not exist and I am going to share my experiences with others to help if possible and to educate as to what is going on in our world. The plague of lost values, no morals, broken families, porn zombies!!!
If you want to help they also take any donations to help fund their program and that is also a fantastic way to spread the word and get kids informed and the help they need to have fullfilling and loving lives.
They travel throughout the US and Canada to bring this info to schools. I have contacted my daughter's school admin office to see if I can get this into her school and to get the ball rolling. Anyone can send a few emails, just as I have done, to make this happen in their kids school and I encourage everyone to step up and do it. We can make a difference if we do a little bit of work and take a stand for our kids and youth.
This is not a political group, religious group or any other type of group, just people who want to make a difference and are doing it!!! There are also some wonderful resources on their site as well.
Think of all the recent stories of rapes, videoing of it, posting on the internet or passed along to everyone in school, the bullying, the suicides - this my friends is what our kids deal with nowadays and where the hell do you think it comes from? Treating people like objects and where do you think that comes from? PORN!!!! Porn is not sneaking your Dad's playboy anymore for a quick peek, it is so so so much worse than that now and your kids have seen it!!!
Fight The New Drug you guys are awesome!!!
Hmmm, well I sat and asked myself this question today and thought and thought. Why and how do I feel like a woman? How am I appreciated and celebrated for being a woman?
Is it because I have boobs? Is it because I am a good person? Is it because I care for others? Is it because I am good at my job? Or is it because of what is between my legs and the types of undies I wear?
Well I know it is not because of my thoughts or mind and I know it is not because I am good at my job or good to others. I could be a complete bitch but as long as I have cleavage I will be talked to still. If my thong is hanging out then maybe someone will pay attention to me or bleach blonde hair and fake and bake. I am not ugly or disfigured or frumpy but I am normal. I wear jeans that fit, I have brown hair, I wear glasses, my tattoos are not tramp stamps and you most of the time cannot even see them because they are for me not someone else to oggle. I do not wear a ton of makeup, if at all and I don't wear 10 inch heels, I like my ballet flats thanks, I like to walk:) I have breasts yes but they are in my shirt where they should be and it is a privledge for others if I decide to share them with them not because I feel I have to to get noticed. I am not fake and I am not trying to prove anything to anyone. If you don't like me or how I look because I do not have my goods hanging out then so be it. I have self respect and do not need to give that up for anyone and won't. I have no problem wearing lingerie or those things but they are not for the world to see and that is saved for my husband only, I do not need attention like that from every guy around and don't want that, that is saved for me and my husband. He is the one that is supposed to make me feel good about my attractiveness and my sexuality is supposed to be for him and him only, why else would I have gotten married? I want to feel sexy for him and look the part for him not any dude walking down the road and I think this is where the problem lies today. Girls think their value is in how much attention they get from boys and that is just not correct. If you value yourself then that is all that matters, we women have nothing to prove to anyone but ourselves. Men should value us by our minds and goodness towards others not what is in our pants only. I am trying to teach my daughter who is 15 these things but it is hard in a world wear girls start getting bikini waxes and buying thongs in their early teens. It is very hard when people her age are posting on facebook about how sexy she is or how hot!!!! She is 15, she is not hot!!!!! She is still a young girl who is supposed to be growing into herself and learning about herself not molding herself into what others want, what men want today. It is sad that girls nowadays only think they are worth what men think and only worth what men want to see in their bodies not brain, they are worth so much more than that.
I would like everyone over the weekend to tell a girl or woman they know about how they value them as a person and not an object to stare at. Take the step to tell them why you value them and how they make a difference in your life. Tell them that you love them for them not for how they look:)
I put my foot down yesterday and did something to support what I was thinking and got my voice and views out there. I am not scared to tell something that something is just not right and I really do not care who they are.
I am talking about one of our local radio stations. Every Thursday morning they host a show and promote a gentleman from the US and his site. This particular site shows naked celebrities and is just another porn site. Every week I hear this show and every week it enrages me hearing them live on the radio say things like "so and so has the best rack", "so and so won the best tits award" "so and so has the most fantastic ass", "this girls funbags are just awesome", "oh, so and so has not done a full nude scene yet but you can see a nip slip in this movie 22 minutes and 31 seconds into the movie". I cannot believe this guy makes his living at telling people when a cleavage shot happens at what time with whatever actress in a certain movie or tv down to a certain second. Not only does he do that but he knows this useless info for every possible actress, singer, model from the year 1920 to now and I am not joking. This guy needs to get a life!!!! How utterly pathetic is this and people think this is cool and that he is a god. What a loser!! He also has kids and a wife, even more of a loser!!!
Now that loser can do whatever he wants but it enrages me that when I am driving my kids to school on a Thursday morning the get to hear who has the nicest rack. I do turn it off but just knowing it is on eats at me. I cannot believe that the local station that I have listened to years and years would promote this crap and at this time of day. You want to put that useless ass and info on your radio fine but do it when kids and families are not in the car driving to school and work. What is that? Another thing that blows me away is that the radio hosts haves wives and kids and one of them is a woman sitting there listening to this and chiming in with just as dumb objectifying comments as the men. Give your head a shake people!!! It amazes me everyday to know how little people think of each other and how no one values anyone anymore for the right reasons.
Anyhow, after thinking about it all day and it not sitting well with me, I wrote them an email explaining my disgust with them and why. I know it will probably not do much and I am sure they will not even reply but I feel better knowing myself that I did not follow the crowd when I felt stongly about something and I let them know that. I let my voice be heard and will not support what they are doing ever as one of their previous listeners.
Well what to say, I am floored by people nowadays. I have an issue with work and they have changed how we are paid (we will get paid less of course), this went into affect Apr 1st. Well no one has explained the changes to us or anything even though it directly affects our pay and our families, it is now April 4th. The manager that should have been informing us went off and got a boob job instead of dealing with her employees or providing them with the info that is entitled to them. How sick is that? Are boobs more important than people now and their welfare? Are boobs more important than families? When did our society start worrying more about boobs than each other? Makes me sad that people are so consumed with body parts and how they look that they forget about being a human being and looking after each other:(
