quick personal life post, was looking at paint in wilkies the other day and bumped into one of my old friends who’s like “your mam wonders why you haven’t been in touch” I just sort of laugh and dodge the question and say seeya. Seriously though? the last time my mum spoke to me was to say stay away or she was going to batter me. Quite frankly I’m enjoying the peace and quiet. The thing is I never ever expected an apology because I know what she’s like, but, I won’t be the one making apologies. I’m moving into a whole new stage in my life and she’s trying to detriment from that by playing the falling out game? grow up. you never came to see me in my first flat, the second, why would babbys first house be any different, with the perfect excuse that it’s out of town. I mean, I’m not saying I didn’t love coming to the pub every day to see you… Except, what the hell is wrong with grabbing a fucking cuppa and catching up. That’s why, ultimately. this phase of you not talking to me, comes as a relief more than anything else.Maybe mum if you see anything outside of the pub you could get on a bus and come see me. Considering you couldn’t take the time to walk across town I don’t see that being likely.
Whatcha doin’ down there?

God we fuck up teenagers’ heads. We tell them that biological conditions are moral punishments and then we get all shocked when they don’t practice rational risk management of biological conditions. We teach them “sex is super desirable and all the cool kids do it, and it’s hideously shameful and will destroy your life” and we wonder why they act an eensy bit neurotic about it. If you tried to design a system for making sexually active kids confused and unsafe, you couldn’t do much better than the American media and school system.
And for once, the answer is relatively simple. Just talk about sex like it’s a part of life. Some people have sex and some people don’t, because people are different. STIs aren’t bad because they’re Dirty Crotch Rot; they’re bad because they’re contagious illnesses like strep throat or whooping cough, and you can ask a doctor to check for and treat them just like you would with strep throat. Unwanted pregnancy isn’t a scarlet A; it’s a mostly-preventable accident that sometimes occurs when people are going about their normal business of having sex. You can ask the school counselor about a variety of topics, including career planning, problems at home, questions about sex, or conflicts with teachers.
If we could just get the goddamn stick out of our collective ass and accept that sex is a human activity and teenagers are humans, maybe there wouldn’t be quite so many plaintive “I don’t understand my body and I’m confused and scared and I don’t know anyone I can ask in person” messages flying out into the world.
