In which the author explains why, exactly, William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" is not a comedy and is, in fact, a tragedy that openly displays domestic abuse.

POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNINGS: Discussion of domestic abuse, emotional abuse, gas lighting, and lack of consent in non-sexual situations. If you think I missed one, let me know. 

Written for my Grade Twelve English assignment, and given full marks.

And many more scenarios that mess our human minds up to the max; most of the times leaving us broken and damaged feeling in the head.
The UnSlut Project by MeghanJoyceTozer

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.

23 parts Complete Mature
Montero has always been judged. No one has ever tried to give him a chance or tried to get to know him. Well that was until Jess. Back then one look from Jess would have sent his heart fluttering but now looking at Jess shatters his heart even further. He's learned that eventually everyone can only see the ugly within him. Label him a psychopath. Weirdo. Cold-hearted. Merciless. Vile. Alone. He's so used to being second best but after losing Jess not once but twice his entire mindset and way of life have changed. He is only a shell of who he used to be, which is not entirely a bad thing. It just means he has a lot of room to grow. How do you find hope in a world that's never shown you any good? It's something he is learning to figure out for himself. Trigger WARNING involves traumatizing situations and a few graphic details. Read at your own risk.
