I agree, he earned the honor and should not have been censored. I also think the principal waited till grad day just before go time to tell him because he knew if given the opportunity the public outcry would have been tremendous. The principal was gutless.
People in their 20's are adults and as such responsible for their next own sexual health. Sex Ed including comprehensive HIV info will help but is not the definitive answer.
As Ashi said, PLAY SAFE. It is your responsibility to stay healthy. You cannot rely on others.
Well done sir. Watching Tait grow stronger as the story progressed was quite the interesting read. Your writing is also growing stronger as you move forward.
I enjoyed this story from beginning to end.
I am perfectly willing to wait till the writing bug bites again, and NO you should not force things! You would never be happy with the results.
Just please let us know you are ok when things like this happen. Most of the fuss is we have no clue if you have been hurt or worse.
Talk to your prescribing doc. There are other size and shape aparatus for us apnea sufferers. My nasal pillow is well cushioned and leaves no marks.
Other that that, there is nothing wrong with a tad of makeup, especially after a rough night that leaves circles.
I lean towards agreeing with you Jack, but for differing reasons. There is an entire division of law enforcement dedicated to internet abuses, and speciffically child pornography. I worry that eventually someone who is innocently saying simply "This is what Jimmy looks like." will get caught up in a sweep.
Congratulations, but I am confused!
Headstall welcomes Cynus to the Purple, aka Promising Author, but the posts promotes him to Signature. I looked back to prior to Cynus joining GA and can not find mention of him being promoted to Promising. Did I miss post? Is there a situation in which authors can skip levels?
I've an extensive list I check in every chapter, but my pet peeves are capital/capitol, principal/principle and cereal/serial. The one that really gives me a fit of pique however is morning/mourning!
I know I seldom review, but this is a special occasion.
Your writing improves with every chapter. While your stories have always been well crafted and well told, there were little things that drew away (just a little) from the enjoyment, like over use of speech tags and nicknames. You are now writing in a more natural flow and it is improving the overall enjoyment greatly!
Good Job bro- I am looking forward to the next chapter!
I "liked" the chapter, but not for the content! I did so because of your bravery in not only facing the pain these memories bring you, but in sharing with us. The bad stuff never really goes away, but we do learn to put it aside and move on eventually. Your dad's latest behavior and conviction is still too fresh. Give it time love! I have to agree with Caz, watch yourself. Should we ever meet in person I WILL hug the stuffing out of you!
I can't picture either Will or JJ doing rush! Will would be looking for a way to humiliate the frat brothers in retaliation within the first day of hazing. I know, I know, hazing has been outlawed, but we also know it still happens.
I would say respond to as many as you have time for, with the exception of any hateful or threatening ones. Those should not be responded to and be stored in a file should anything escalate. Remember to always CYA! (Except of course in intimate situations!)
I've bought tickets for family members flying with me. No one ever asked why the name on my credit card didn't match one or more of the names on the tickets. There are too many families that children's sir names do not match the parent's to restrict it like that. Many families would never be able to take young children from blended families anywhere!
