You are the very definition of perseverance, little guy. You have survived what no other blemish could. Through Neutrogena , Ten-O-Six , and Clinique; even Differin , Doxycycline , and Retin-A , you have fought the good fight. Now you are faced with a new enemy -- one which has felled all of your brothers. You are there, the lone pimple, keeping on. Sometimes, I think you are gone, starting to fade, but then-- there you are again! Strong as ever! Don't you think it is time to call it quits? I mean, really, the strain has got to be getting to you. In fact, I think you are looking a little dried out and tired around the edges. And with the arrival of the new white hand towels , your brief reprieve has ended. Tonight you will once again face the sulfur masque. It doesn't have to be this way-- the choice is yours. After the masque comes the glycolic acid, then, the piece de resitance -- the 5% benzoyl peroxide. That's right, I am playing hardball, just like Norah O

A few years ago, the youth director at our church came to my dh (our pastor) and said, "In this town, if a girl wants a boyfriend, she has to have a girlfriend." I thought that was really interesting and certainly a shift from when I was in school....
I still think the statistics are interesting.....11% they quote as being in these relationships (same-sex) and yet their age ranges overlap.
There's no question but that things are more "open" than they used to be. I went downtown to pick my teen son up at the movies one night and got quite a show of "same-sex" public displays of affection!!
I have adult gay friends and acquaintances...the thing that bothers me is that this is so much a part of the identity and that the tolerance for what happens in public has gone up so high.
Amazing!
This article is disturbing on so many levels. I remember hearing about this on talk radio. The writer was interviewed by Laura Ingram and well, wow.
I'm trying to teach my children that part of having respect for yourself involves not 'giving it away' on a whim, a dare, pressure, etc. Raging hormones will crave a wild ride, but if you've drawn a line you can choose not to get on the roller coaster. Regardless of sexual preference.
I'd not read the entire article, thanks for the link! C
