Oh my god, so much rage. Tally time.

I see two examples of slut-shaming, two awful pick-up lines, one example of emotional tug-of-war, four examples of gender policing, two examples of really terrible relationship advice, two over-aggressive posts, and a whole bunch of cringe-worthy teenage angst. And spelling and grammar errors.

Some of the things teenagers say really freak me out. Where do they get that shit from? I'm still realising the extent to which I've internalised all kinds of messages, things that were never said out loud. My childhood was a big social sponge, and now I have to work daily to wring out all the poisonous, awful crap. And I'm one of the lucky ones - I have parents that are in love, stable, sensible, intelligent, good role models. It's scary.

If you loved me, you wouldn't have turned around.

Boy: Thanks for saying this now! If we had gotten together, you would have driven me to suicidal depression.

Every point in the relationship is one about which men can be shamed by women.
