She's a great writer! She had GREAT pictures and it was interesting to read. I don't think I'll try any of the fashions, but it's just great to know, and to be cultural. But I might do it for Halloween.. :] I give her kudos. p.s. I love the site.

This helps a lot! Me & my best friend were thinking 'bout this, but we didn't wanna spend a lot of money on a costume, so yeah, I need to buy makeup soon!

Whoa! OMG! This fashion sounds totally cool. I might try and put a little bit in my everyday style, but go full out at costume parties and Halloween. Hmmm ... I might even make it my sweet sixteen's party theme!!! ;-)

I really liked this article, and what you're saying is true. Sometimes I feel that I am ugly 'cause of my acne ... It's not that bad, but then boys pick on me 'cuz I have acne problems, but sometimes I just break down and cry. I really like your magazine.

FWB - What Was I Thinking?
I can totally relate to her. I gave up my virginity to a guy I wanted to be in a relationship with and who was only looking for sex. As it turns out, he was screwing my ex-best friend at the same time. Even though I hate what happened, I don't regret it. I think of it as a lesson learned.

I admire this girl. After all she has been through she is still fighting, and I hope that she moves on. She made me change my opinion of "friends with benefits". I am a new me now. Thanks lots.

Wow! This story was really deep. I always thought boys were the ones trying to get into your pants, but I guess girls came pressure guys into sex by lack of emotions.

Interesting, great article. Hopefully, it reaches out to those who've made a few of those mistakes and change their bad habits!

Bad advice since she hasn't experienced it herself.

Although I do agree with a lot of this article, some of the comments made by the author are a little off. Well, if you are gearing this towards 15 year olds who think it's cool to get kanji tattooed on them, then it's good idea to tell them they are being stupid. It does take time, and everyone needs to be sure what they are getting they are ready to have for the rest of there lives, and not some flash they walked in and picked off the wall. Most artists charge by the hour (not size and color). $100+ is typical for quality work. Also, the comment about keeping your tattoo moist is true, but you should not apply ointment/lotion more than 3 times a day. Otherwise you WILL have to go get it retouched because you can fade your tattoo by applying too much lotion too often. Believe me, I messed up my 1st tattoo this way. For many people tattooing and body modification is a lifestyle. It is a way to express yourself and explore your body. I have my entire back tattooed, and plan on many more, and in 15 years when I have kids asking me questions I will be more than happy to share the story of my life with them through my tattoos. On my 18th birthday I did a pull. I admit I was a little disappointed, but I did something that I will never forget, and I hope to one day do a suspension. Body modification is an art form, and you should be proud. If you want real information on tattoos I would recommend your readers to check out www.bmezine.com

Amazed by the lengths of which her mind allows her writing to reach.

I love how the article started out with a situation that anyone could find themselves relating to. The article brings about facts about our world that are quite unfortunately true, and the way that everything is worded ... it's lovely. It's honest and true. It makes a person think, or think more if they've already thought on this subject. The article made me smile and frown. Frown because of the truth that as I said before is unfortunate. Smile because we do all have a right. Basically, I just loved the article.

First, if you study world history, you have found that discrimination has ALWAYS been and forever will be. Second, changes occur gradually over time, unless war forces change. The Bible says that "This too will pass."
