Why are you on this website right now? What made you join? Why are you reading this? Maybe you like to read, maybe you write. Either way, I'm challenging you, or daring you rather. To be yourself, completely and utterly be yourself. For 30 days. So, do you accept?

I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.
