Pedophilia in the Black community is such effin big elephant in the room.

We talk so much shit about these young Black girls getting pregnant while in school or whatever but not the fact it be niggas in they 20’s 30’s impregnating them.

I swear this behavior is so normalized in the hood.

Cat calling 10 year olds with body and shit.

This is fucking huge. Please stop this. Men have been cat calling me since I was fucking 12.

It’s so sad. Being told at the age of 10 to watch out for a certain uncle or cousin. Why have the conversation with me, a child? And not this grown ass man?

^ hersheywrites another discussion that’s needs to be touched based and throughly spoken on

They’ll scream to the top of their lungs that “it’s not that serious”. But it is. It’s nasty. Even as a joke it’s opening up the idea that a pedophile can try it. A pedophile feels fucking validated when you tell those jokes. Quit perpetuating and normalizing pedophilia. The only way to yank it at the roots is to hold all grown folk accountable.

You know what’s worse? Look through the notes.

Look at the ratio of men to women/nb reblogging this.

I have had grown men after me since I was 13. So fucking sad and disgusting.

“Can I kiss you?” is probably the cutest thing you can ever hear someone ask.

Yes. Yes, let’s romanticize actually asking for consent verbally. Let’s stop making it out to ‘ruin the mood.’ This is so important.

My boyfriend says “Can I have a kiss?” Every time he wants to kiss me, no matter if he just kissed me three seconds before that. As soon as we stop, he will ask again for another one. And if I just peck him on the lips but he wants a longer kiss, he’ll say “No, can I have a real kiss?” Today he asked me if it bothered me that he always asks. 

No. This will never bother me. This means he respects what I want. 

This, gentlemen (and ladies) is how you acquire consent. Even if you just had sex ten minutes ago, that doesn't mean consent is assured the next time. You must always have consent. 

Asking “Can I have a kiss?” will not turn a girl off. I can pretty much guarantee it. If anything, it will do just the opposite. 

I have played truth or dare (and other variations) many times, and never has any guy asked before kissing me. HOWEVER, I have made it abundantly clear that if I do not want to kiss them, I won’t

everyone here is so quick to preach about how aromantics, demiromantics, and grayromantics are erased, but what about the rest of the arospec kids? 

what about the quoiromantic kids, who can’t tell if the attraction they’re feeling is romantic or platonic?

what about the cupioromantic kids, who don’t experience romantic attraction but want to be in a romantic relationship?

what about the lithromantic kids, who feel romantic attraction but don’t want it reciprocated or lose the attraction when it is reciprocated?

and especially, what about the aroflux kids, whose romantic orientations are always on the aromantic spectrum but whose position on it fluctuates?

we’re doing a great job of making sure that everyone on this site knows that aro, demi, and gray aro kids exist, but please remember that those are not the only three places you can be on the aromantic spectrum. the rest of us are here and we matter just as much as the other arospec kids.

Here for this!

can we start a club for teenagers who were constantly complimented on their intelligence when they were younger and are now having trouble coping with the realization that they’re actually of average intellect at best

can this club have a support person that helps us to study because we didn’t need to before so we don’t know how to now 

What an accurate moment for me to find this
