'Big Mouth' Is Woke. Prove Me Wrong.

"Big Mouth" is a dirty comedy show filled with hormone-raging teenagers and their hormone monsters. The characters are navigating the terrible life that is middle school and how they cope with the terrible thing that is puberty. The show seems to be another dirty comedy that only invokes humor, but it talks about much more than hormone-raging kids. The third season focuses on some pretty important issues that teenagers may face.

Firstly, the characters portray a lot of diversity. Jessie's mom divorces her dad and explores her sexuality by dating a woman. Jay, a seemingly "straight" guy, comes out as bisexual after a new student that's pansexual comes to school. Additionally, we see representation in the black community from Missy and her parents, who happen to be a biracial couple.

Within the new third season, the writers address issues like kids struggling with their sexuality. There is a whole episode dedicated to Jay and his exploration of his sexuality. The viewers follow his experimentation through season two, and he is finally able to come to a place of comfort with his sexuality. He then comes out to the rest of his class, but many don't take him seriously. Sadly, this is the actual reality of kids who are struggling with something like their sexuality. Although, he goes through the rest of the season embracing himself, and his classmates come to accept him.

Additionally, a whole episode focuses on the objectification of women and how school dress codes can perpetuate those ideologies. The girls in the school were tired of being objectified by the boys and the sexist ideas that the school dress code enforced.

The show is full of hilarious content but focuses on problems that all kids and people go through in our society. Many have discussed how the "woke culture" ruins comedy, but "Big Mouth" is able to create humor while talking about important issues. Definitely a must-watch for everyone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
