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.

For mostly immature audiences only. Preening pontificating from a pretentious pleb. (Updated whimsically) Take a tour through someone else's mind, as the author and terrible illustrator attempt to put the vagaries and soul crushing brutality of everyday life into just enough perspective to make the great issues of our time look as stupid as they are. I will, eventually, tackle great issues such as Microplastics, Hipsters, why Nuclear Disarmament is a terrible idea, why the world is overflowing with optimism, and other important issues. Now, I understand that Wattpad holds a degree of civility in its discourse that you rarely find on the internet. With that in mind, if you find a bit of incivility presents your point better, I don't mind. Being Wattpad, I suspect your meanest insults would sound like the kindest thing to ever appear on 4chan. -Will you laugh? I hope so. -Will you cry? I really hope not. I wasn't trying for that at all. If you do, I am sorry. -Will you send death threats? No, of course not. This isn't Twitter. Wattpaders have dignity. -Will you scoff and not read this because you were looking for One Direction fan fiction? probably. -Will you mock my doodling? I won't be offended if you do. -Will you disagree? No. You didn't read this. You were looking for one direction fan fiction. The new cover is courtesy of @stormythezebra

There is a stage between childhood and adulthood that makes us all want to bang our heads into a concrete wall as if that will somehow make us forget the things we did in that cringe-worthy stage of adolescence. That golden era of bad haircuts, first and last dates, and that undeniable feeling of wanting to fit in. Teenagehood. Surviving it is a feat in itself, and the memories you make may haunt you forever. So this is my guide to the good, the bad, and the ugly of surviving teenagehood. Yes this will include anecdotes.
