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.

Sometimes the answer can be as simple as a kiss. [extended summary inside]

Cupid's pointed arrow struck Orion, will Orion strike the arrow back at Cupid? Orion was struck by the all-too-famous pointy golden arrow, shot by Cupid himself. But, the arrow wasn't shot to pair her with her fated one. The arrow was shot at her so she could be the next matchmaker. She's stuck to face hormonal teens and a bad attitude mentor until she finds her own love. But, is her love closer than she thinks and standing with his own set of arrows?

Being a superhero's sidekick was the last thing Gretal Davidson expected, and it was the last thing she wanted to be. Because it takes more than powers to be a superhero. [image credit goes to artist, not me]

(CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE) Taylor Grace lives with crazy step-mother and sisters in her Beverley Hills mansion while her father is deployed overseas in the army. With a crazy best friend and an amazing headmistress and the promise that her dad will be home in less than a year, Taylor is perfectly content with her life, despite her slightly dysfunctional family. Due to a gold digger step mother and two air heads step sisters as 'family' Taylor finds herself thrown into a world of cameras, people and girls just like her step sisters. She has the chance to win Noah James' heart. One of her biggest inspirations since the very beginning. (Oh and gain a better reputation for her school, no thanks at all to her stupid step sisters) Noah James, is a mysterious, brooding 'bad boy'. (Again, come on media, can you become any more stereotypical?!) Noah James is someone so much more dangerous, yet powerful and unattainable than any old singer and actor. Yet there is so much more to someone's life than what is seen on the screens.

Lilly Martin is not model-material, but Adam Hiller is, and it turns out he likes to wear dresses when nobody's looking, and is in fact not a 'he' at all. When their school announces a fashion designing competition, Lilly decides to kill two (or three) birds with one stone and: 1) Win the fashion competition by making the best dress Edgley High has ever seen. 2) Help Adam (who prefers Eve, thank you very much) come out as the girl she is. 3) Annoy the bigots.

Amanda Rose is too young for her best friend to be dead.

And then comes in Orion Mathers, Roxanne's ex-boyfriend and the reason why everyone in Madison high school turned on Roxanne. Amanda blames him for what happened since to her nothing was wrong until he revealed her unusual eating disorder.

"I’ve had many things stolen from me. Money, keys, credit cards, even my own heart, but none of that mattered more than stealing lies. People relied on the truth, but telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time results in nothing but agony. Take it from me; you’re always better off with a pocket full of lies. The day after I saw a kid getting slaughtered when a bus hijacked by teen hooligans drove through him, Alison had leaned in and whispered with a breathy laugh, “No plastic surgery could cover that.” I had smiled." The A team has never played it nice. From the messages to the Liars and the torturous events of Alison's death it has always been Live or Die. Kill or Be Killed. There is you, there is me and then there is Alice Fiend. Only I wish it was that simple. It takes half a heart to pull the trigger once and none to go all the way. It takes two seconds for hate, but one for murder. So what happens when Alice Fiend decides to give A a spoon full of her own medicine? How well does Alice know the game? When you have it you have it and Alice always does. Unless, of course, her former lover seems to take interest in her every move. Gabriel Holbrook, you better stay away. There is a new bitch in town, here to ruin everyone in her way. B is for Beautiful, B is for Boy, B Is For How She Ended Up As A Toy. B is for Bitter, B is for Believe Me, B Is For How She Begged and Plead. B is for Better, B is for Bitch, B is for how Alison ended up in a Ditch. B is for The B Team. Form the B Team, Alice. But can you win?
