Condom Dispensers in Schools: Bad Idea

Okay, so I read this article about how in Brazil, they decided to put condom dispensers in schools to fight the spread of AIDS. Now, I just don’t think this is a good idea because people in the school can go behind the school or like in a classroom and have sex. Alternatively, they'll have oral sex. That is just trifling to me because that’s really going to want kids to do it more just because they see the condoms there. So, in my option, I think it is a bad idea. In general about condoms, I think that some people use condoms and some don’t. However, what I hear from hoes when I was locked up was that they don’t use condoms. That's nasty. I think people don’t use condoms because they say it feels good but that’s how people catch stuff.

Sex, Today and Before

I read an article that looked at the way people were having sex in the 1940s and 50s and then now, or a few years ago. I think that the article was wrong because in the article it says that between 1943 and 1999 the age of of first intercourse dropped to 15 from 19 for females, while the percentage in 1943, according to the study that appears in the most recent issue of the Review of General Psychology, went from 13 percent to 47 percent for sexually active young women. I think that is a lie because I think that young women didn't really start having sex at young ages until like the year 2000, because back in the day people really didn’t get down from what I hear -- because my mom and grandma told me the story of how it went down in the old days. In addition, I think that they are trying to put on too thick and put it as if it was happening. I also think that people were having sex in the old days because there were always young women and older women hoing back in the old days -- but that doesn't really count.

A Good Relationship

What makes a good relationship? I think the perfect couple would be when the two people are actually in love, not just they love each other. I think if you in a good relationship then even when you and the person you with get in an argument or something you could just be back cool in a couple of minutes. When you in a good relationship you should be happy to see your boyfriend or girlfriend, or be happy to be with them.

What I look for in a boyfriend is their personality, that’s the first thing because if they are cute they might be too cocky or they just probably do too much, but I would look at their looks too. We have to be able to be in a relationship too, we can’t argue and fight all the time or we can’t not talk at all or barely say things to each other. For me, at first, I did not like my boyfriend – he wasn’t good looking but his personality made me like him more and more. We talk all the time and we never argue and we both love each other, so I would say we are in a very good relationship.

One of my friends was in a bad relationship because the boy was too controlling, but he bought her everything and anything she wanted and she felt bad to break up with him because he claimed he loved her, but that’s over now. It took me a while, maybe a year to fall in love with my boyfriend. I liked him but when we started going out -- I don’t know what happened. First I liked him, but it just wasn’t happening. Then he liked me and I guess I just started liking him again and he asked me out and I said yeah.

Unhooked

Laura Sessions Stepp wrote this book called Unhooked. Basically, she is talking about when teens and people in their 20s just hook up -- meaning have sex with no strings attached. She thinks it is happening with all teens, but to me, I think people at least have boyfriends first or something. I don’t think they just find people and just hook up. Either way, it’s nasty. At my school, I never hear people saying they are going to hook up with someone. But I hear them saying stuff like: "I’m going to hook you up with that boy," meaning, like, I’m going to try to get you guys to go out as boyfriend and girlfriend.

When We First Started Mob’n

It was July 1, 2007 when I got the message that this cute-ass boy named D’sean liked me. I was hella juiced. I got the message on MySpace, you know, the website. He sent the message and I replied. I said: “Man, I’m glad you sent this message because if I would have gotten it any later I would have went crazy. I’m looking forward to being your wife!!” I had been looking at him for so long and he finally decided to tell me I’m the girl he wants to be his wife. We started talking, then dating and next thing you know I felt loved and appreciated and I didn’t want to let him go. So now I'm sitting here telling this story about my love life and how it feels to be loved! I been in this relationship for six months and it's real cool. I mean it will only work if it's real love like us. D’sean & Sitkeya gone mob 4ever, even when the sun ain't out, we gonna stick together through rainy weather.
