Legend has it that "sluts" are lurking all around. You might encounter one on a shadowy street corner or posing in a magazine. But those tricksters also blend in easily at school, at church functions, and even in your own home. Constant vigilance is required. Without it, you might accidentally become one yourself. Except... there's no such thing as a "slut." It's just a myth. So is the "slut's" invented opposite, the "good girl." What's the deal with these lingering stereotypes and around female sexuality? Why do they still bear so much control over our cultural and personal expectations? These chapters are collected/edited from my Teen Vogue column. I want to share them with you here, where we can discuss them together, because the Wattpad community was so crucial to establishing The UnSlut Project as an international movement. I hope your comments on these essays will grow into conversations, and that we can keep inspiring and learning from each other!

In every stupid and cliché teen fiction story, there's always the blonde cheerleader that people think is a complete bitch and acts as the sinister antagonist of the story. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm that blonde cheerleader that people think is a complete bitch and acts as the sinister antagonist of the story. Is it my fault that I was born with this hair color or with the blue eyes? Is it my fault that I worked hard to be the leader of the cheer team? And how come there's always this goody-two-shoes who comes in and rains on my parade? Let's list off the criteria: Blonde? Obviously. Blue eyes? Like, as you say, "a reflection of the ocean" Cheerleader? Complete with the uniform. Bimbo? My grades beg to differ. A bitch? I'm not even going to deny it. Antagonist? Well, I'll let you be the judge of that.

Just nine more months, and I, Kasey Danson, would have been out of high school for good, on my way to fulfil my greatest dream of being a writer/journalist, whichever came first. But no, someone up there seemed to have made other plans for me, because one minute I was still myself, Kasey Danson the geek who's just trying to survive high school, and the next, KABOOM. I wake up to find myself trapped. Trapped where? Trapped in the body of my 'mortal enemy', cheerleader Stephanie Greyson. My life had turned pretty bleak, because becoming a cheerleader was all an accident, and I had never ever wanted to be involved in all the drama that normally revolved around cheerleaders. On the up side, and it's really the only positive thing here, I'm one step closer to my crush of three and a quarter years, my one unrequited love since freshman days. Logan Reiner. I don't think he had ever noticed me in school, because, and this is stating the obvious, he's a jock and I'm a geek. I'm sure you get the picture. But is it really all the great, when its a known fact throughout the entire student body that the one Logan really fancies is Stephanie? P.S this story revolves around the usual cliche high school social hierarchy system but that's how it goes at least in this story. It gets better, promise!

NOTICE: I'm no longer continuing this story. I'm only editing/fixing the chapters that I currently have. Thank to everyone who enjoyed and supported this book in the past. I really appreciate it :) -- Karasu Aoiro is not a normal girl like you and me. Her appearance may seem godly, but her aura is deadly. When in a hurry, people would run....Karasu on the other hand would teleport with no problems at all, and hiding in the shadows is something that can easily be done. Her homeland is the underworld, but she prefers a place full of life. That's right, she's a demon. Karasu's life is pretty typical for a 17 year old: school, homework, drama, social media, and so on. There is absolutely nothing new or exciting in her life as of now. Until one day, a strange letter appeared in her mail box, telling her to go guard a girl named, Yui Komori. But, was that the only reason why she was sent to the Sakamaki household? How will her rebellious attitude clash with the six brothers? Karasu had many doubts about this, but she knew one thing. Her life will never be the same again.

These are Wattpad members' experiences regarding "slut" shaming and sexual bullying. You can now submit your experience to be a chapter in this collection in the form of a VIDEO - or as a drawing, poster, collage, or any other type of visual art. Just message me a link (send it to @emilylindin). If you've already submitted a chapter and want to add a multimedia element, let me know and we can make that happen, too. I started The UnSlut Project in 2013 by sharing my own middle school diary entries, from when I was targeted as the school "slut", here on Wattpad. This collection expands the project to include the shared experiences of the Wattpad community, whether the writer has been the victim or witness of sexual bullying or "slut" shaming, or whether they just want to share their thoughts. As these essays demonstrate, these issues have affected and continue to affect many of our lives in deep, often dangerous ways. If you're currently being sexually bullied, you're not alone. It gets better. Please use these stories to expand your understanding of this widespread problem, and comment respectfully.
