Teen girls need to learn that sex is about fulfilment, not about validation It seems like every week my daughter's class has a "talk" at school. Sometimes it's about drugs, sometimes it's about mental health, but most frequently it's about sex. They barely have time for maths and English, so much of their day is spent on topics such as revenge porn and consent. SHARE SHARE ON FACEBOOK SHARE SHARE ON TWITTER TWEET LINK Still, maths and English can wait. I love that sex and consent are included in my kids' education. We certainly didn't have it in my day. My classmates and I had one awkward session with diagrams of body parts and a penis shown only in outline.  It prepared me for life as a sexual being about as well as a packet of salt prepared me to cook a meal.

Want Your Own Website? You'll Need a Host... But What's That?

Want Your Own Website? You'll Need a Host... But What's That? How many websites do you visit a day? Which are your favorites? Do you go there for business, research, financial help, or pure pleasure? Tens of millions of new websites are created every year. That means you not only have the privilege to go where your heart desires, but you could even jump in and create your own website. Yes, you.

A Few Internet Basics Most of us connect to the Internet through home computers tha

In school? Student health plans & other options Student- Insurance

If your school offers a student health plan, it can be an easy and affordable way to get basic insurance coverage. If you’re enrolled in a student health plan, in most cases it counts as qualifying health coverage. This means you’re considered covered under the health care law, and won’t have to pay the penalty for not having insurance. Be sure to check with the plan to be sure. Enrolling in a Marketplace plan instead Even if you have access to a student health plan, you can apply for coverage (or stay covered) through the Health Insurance Marketplace instead. If you’re a dependent under 26 Living in the same state as your parents:  You can be included on your parent’s application.

This way they can add you to their plan outside Open Enrollment. (Voluntarily dropping a student plan doesn’t qua

While we think the 38-year-old makes a pretty kickass mom to her three kids—Mason, 7; Penelope, 4; and Reign, 2—the mamas on the Internet apparently have a different opinion. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– Soon after the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star shared a seemingly harmless bikini shot of her lounging on the beach, she was slammed by a slew of mommy-shamers who accused her of negligent parenting. (Warning: the comments include some not-so-nice and not-so-clever language.) “Slutting around while babysitters watch your kids,” one person commented. “That’s the Kartrashian way.” “When did she turn into such a hooker?” another added. The picture in question featured the eldest Kardashian sister tanning in the sand as eyes drew to her toned and barely covered bottom. (Give her a break—she’s at the beach!) Kourt also wo
