TeenPact and Relationships
Everyone is told, no crushes are allowed to happen at TeenPact (because you can “allow” a crush to begin with). Boys are told, to open doors for women, to let them go first in line, and to treat them like they’re delicate little flowers. Essentially, boys are taught to treat women like objects who are…

TeenPact and Women

The Strongest Woman I Know
I had intended to spend the day painting my dragon (Archangel) for my Horde army that I need to pick up the rest of on Thursday. But while in the shower, thinking about the meaning of life (as you do, and then quickly do that thing we call “washing” 2 minutes before the water turns…
