Coming out

are many things that these parents have to deal with that most parents do not. One of the most difficult times for not only the parent of an LGBTQ child, but for the kid as well, is when the child comes out. This topic is very important in the field of family studies because, when a child comes out to his or her parents, the whole family is involved. The parent’s reaction can have a significant effect on the child, whether it is a good or bad reaction. This is an important topic to study because both

When one is struggling trying to figure out one’s own identity, there are resources available. For example, YouTube may have makeup tutorials. However resources for figuring out one’s sexuality may be harder to find. Trying to turn to loved ones may result in judgment. So the Internet is the next best choice.

The Good Ol’ Hotpot Simmering in the hot tub known as my bed, I was struggling to stay alive from the dreaded sweltering heat coming through the crack in my window. Beep beep beep clang bang smash alas I am awoken by the dreaded sounds of the great garbage trucks outside my house, sadly, 2 hours before my alarm would attempt the impossible task of waking me up. I tumble out of bed while pulling my body parts apart from the sheets as if I my sweat turned to superglue, to adjust the only thermostats

Coming out to friends and family is something every non-straight or non-gender conforming person dreads due to fear of rejection or being further outed. The society we live in is becoming more accepting every day and kids are growing more confident and proud of themselves and who they are. Though it is not a perfect society and negative views are still very abundant, especially in the south, I have made the decision to be out as a gay individual. The anxiety I had within me when I came out to my

It must be contagious because after a moment the same grin spreads across her face. “Of course. Who wouldn’t be excited to go jump in a cave and hope no bears come out and attack or that a bat may be one of the batman’s spies trying to eat us, turning all of us into bats?” “Ha-Ha, very funny.” I grinned as the dads finally get the car out. “Alrighty,

of us have been stuck inside during a snowstorm at some point. We may have wanted to get out of the house, but we couldn’t. We were trapped inside. Scotty, one of the kids stuck at Tattawa Regional High School, has this same problem, but worse. Scotty is one of seven students that are stuck at Tattawa Regional High School during a massive snowstorm. After the power shuts off and heat begins to seep out of the building, the students begin a race against time to escape the school which could soon

In the Playing Unfair video it said “we infrequently see images of women athletes as athletes” this got me thinking of RSM 317 and the 6 ways the media portrays the female athlete.

the things will be quite rapid paced.
