ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new ‘gang’ way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone. 

I will always reblog things like this, it won’t ruin your blog or the look of it, and this could potentially save a life.

Study: Children of "tiger moms" have worse grades, are more depressed and alienated

katzmatt:

shortformblog:

It seems that when you scream at your kids and call them “garbage” and “fatty” on a regular basis, you often end up with depressed kids. That’s not an enormous surprise. What is surprising, however, that Amy Chua’s technique—which advises explosive anger and name-calling when a child falls short of expectations, amongst other things—doesn’t even get results. “[T]iger moms produced kids who felt more alienated from their parents and experienced higher instances of depressive symptoms. They also had lower GPAs, despite feeling more academic pressure.” Chua, who originally wrote that “the solution to substandard performance is always to excoriate, punish and shame the child,” has back-pedaled slightly since her book was published in 2011.

SCIENCE AGAIN PROVES THE OBVIOUS

sailorfukusweetbro: magicalgirlconfessions: No offense, but I personally find it hard to enjoy fanservice-y magical girl series. I’m not one of those prudes who thinks that females portrayed in any sexual context is automatically objectification. I’d love it if more series were sex positive, but the difference is that those seek to empower which is exactly what magical girls mean to me: empowerment. The goal of fanservice, if not parody, is usually just to attract a male audience. That’s fine, but to me, it’s missing something important. Submited by hanabi-hime Especially when they are underage it’s awfully gross.
