It just needs to stop.

Can We Stop Hating on Each Other?

I find this very funny because people talk about not being hateful towards others, but yet it is everywhere.

If a women comes out and says they want to be a stay at home mom and not work, she gets hated on for not going out and working because it is "unrealistic." However, they never ask why she would want to stay at home and people just assume its because she doesn't want to work.

If a women wants to have an abortion, she gets judged for not wanting to have the child. No one ever asks why she did it. Maybe because she didn't want to have a toddler and a new born at the same time, maybe for medical reasons, or maybe because she isn't financially ready.

If a women decides to breast feed her child and for how long people judge on that (usually other moms shaming others). Again not asking why the mother decided not to beast feed or stop at a year compared to stopping when the child is ready.

If a girl/women doesn't want to go into a STEM job she gets judged because she isn't taking advantage of the opportunities that are available to her. Does anyone ever stop to think that maybe she isn't interested in doing a STEM job?

If a guy shows emotion, he is seen as weak.

If a guy likes to do "feminine" activities, they are seen as doing a "women's job" and let me say this: I know many guys who can cook really, really well, and clean better than some women. It doesn't mean that they are doing a "women's job" — it means they were taught to do more than just the stereotypical "mans job" and they were actually taught how to care for the inside of the house and not live in a mess and actually cook real meals.

If a guy wants to stay home with his kids he is looked down on because it isn't the social norm.

Why do people talk so much about supporting each other and yet turn around and do the complete opposite?

Can we stop judging others with how they live their personal lives, which will in no way affect your life in anyway?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
