Jenny had a crush on Tommy, they kissed with closed mouths, the end. In the late '60s, you had the rise of something called \"the problem novel\"—the most famous example of that would be probably S.E. Hinton's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/152040513/the-outsiders\">The Outsiders.\u003c/a> And these books were grittier, more realistic—you had sex and drugs and family trouble. And then, in the late '70s, the cycle just turned over again. A series called \"Wildfire\" was first released in 1979, and these were very, very chaste, very wholesome romance novels and they were such enormous hits that it was like the \"malt shop\" books were back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107905\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-800x495.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-160x99.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-768x475.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-1020x631.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-1920x1188.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-1180x730.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-960x594.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-375x232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/baby-sitters-club-520x322.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On female friendships\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they started, in the mid-'80s, publishing more books for younger girls—books like \"Baby-Sitters Club\"—those girls were too young to be obsessed with boyfriends and so instead they had these girls define themselves by their friendship relationships with other girls. And I think that was one of the biggest impacts these books had on our generation ... kind of planting the seed of the idea that your friendships with other women were as important in your life as a romantic relationship might be down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how '80s and '90s books barely talked about sex\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YA books in the '70s were becoming franker about sex with authors like Judy Blume. And then, the return of the \"malt shop\" vibe plus the beginning of the AIDS crisis kind of added up to sex becoming completely absent from these books except in cases where someone would have sex once, come down with a fatal STD, and it would be a learning experience for everyone. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of these books were set up as a conscious corrective to the more freewheeling sexual attitudes of '70s YA. You know, now that sex was suddenly revealed to be so dangerous and have so many consequences that the previous generation hadn't been aware of, I think there was a conscious decision on the part of YA authors to say ... \"We're not going to depict this as something you can do lightly, or something that you should be doing at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On teen books in the '80s and '90s that dealt with difficult subjects, such as suicide or eating disorders\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was so much news—high-profile kidnappings of children, you know, injuries on playgrounds. People were suddenly very aware of how vulnerable children were, how much there was in the world that could hurt them. And I think that these books were a reaction to that understanding. So the message of all of them was ... Be careful. Don't talk to strangers. If you feel anything bad, you know, if you feel like you want to skip lunch today to be thinner, if you're feeling sad, tell your parents right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107904\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-160x99.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-768x475.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1020x631.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1920x1188.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1180x730.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-960x594.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-375x232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-520x322.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On these books lacking diversity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These books were incredibly white. ... Even series of like the \"Baby-Sitters Club\" that had some characters of color were usually written by white authors. And I spoke to a few authors of color who had been working during this period ... and they told me they ran into, you know, tremendous institutional racism at publishers—people who told them ... \"We only publish historical novels about African-American teens\" or \"We already published a book this year with an Asian-American protagonist ... we don't have room on our schedule for another one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the lessons she learned from the fiction she read as a teen\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in a very fluffy book like \"Sweet Valley High\" there's an emphasis on making yourself happy. ... In books like \"Baby-Sitters Club\" or \"Sleepover Friends\" there's an emphasis on thriving and doing things that bring you joy, helping others, creating a community, seeing your ideas through. Those weren't really ideas I was getting at home, just because my parents were from a different generation.

"content": "\u003cp>If you are not a small child (or the parent of one), there is a good chance that you have absolutely no idea who JoJo Siwa is. While you haven't been watching, this 14-year-old All American Girl from Omaha, Nebraska is quietly creeping into every facet of the nation's pop culture landscape. JoJo has a bananas amount of crap going on, so, by way of introduction, here's a compact list of things that JoJo is famous for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Being on unnecessarily shouty Lifetime shows like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Moms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Dance Moms\u003c/em> \u003c/a>and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby%27s_Ultimate_Dance_Competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition\u003c/a>\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Ukqd0DW_o\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. A YouTube show titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jo+jo%27s+juice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>JoJo's Juice\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (which has over 4 million subscribers), in which she does things like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AOXa91Zx88\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Having a music career. At the time of writing, the video for \"Boomerang\" has 364,491,186 views. In it, JoJo successfully manages to rhyme the word \"boomerang\" with \"say,\" which is, inarguably, a remarkable feat:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypPSrRYOAj4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. A Nickelodeon special titled \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nick.com/jojo-siwa-my-world/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JoJo Siwa: My World\u003c/a>\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kByOZdxzaAY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Having a huge line of brightly-colored merchandise, including oversized hair bows (items JoJo refers to as her \"superpower,\" which makes no sense at all, but cool), key rings, costumes, socks, games, pencil cases, bedspreads, blankets, T-shirts, pajamas, gloves, and hats, all sold at nationwide stores including Target, Walmart and Claire's:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqBRIN0Olu4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JoJo's latest step towards world domination is a book titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/JoJos-Guide-Sweet-Life-PeaceOutHaterz/dp/1419728172/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505940129&sr=8-1&keywords=JoJo%27s+Guide+to+the+Sweet+Life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>JoJo's Guide to the Sweet Life\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (which came out October 3 through Amulet Books). The press release accompanying the hardback describes it as \"a nonfiction middle-grade memoir that inspires young girls to find the courage and confidence to go after their dreams.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JoJo herself has this to say (alarmingly fast and extremely loudly) about her first literary project:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=bSfIgy8wAEo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here then is the wisdom of JoJo Siwa—a child who is undoubtedly much, much wealthier than the vast majority of us—broken down, chapter by chapter. Let us bask in her all-powerful truth nuggets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 1: \"Rolo-s for Being a Siwanator #Siwanatorz Rule\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Being a Siwanator [nickname for her fans] means being confident, positive and supportive of others. Sometimes it means building a wall around you—and I'm not talking about the kind you make with bricks. I'm talking about the imaginary kind that keeps the haters away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#BuildThatWall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 2: \"Sugar Babies #TBT/ #FBF\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Um, there's a really famous \u003ca href=\"https://www.seekingarrangement.com/browse/members/sugar-baby-female/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"adult arrangement\" website\u003c/a> with that exact same name—minus hashtags, obviously—and I can't believe no one spotted this in the editing process.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this chapter, JoJo uses types of candy to pinpoint what kind of personality you have. Example: \"Almond Joy: You're a little quirky, and proud of it! You're a leader and stand out from the pack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 3: \"My Peeps #FamilyMatters\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One time when I was really little, I tagged along with my dad to the gym. I went on the treadmill and because I didn't really know how to work it, I started going super fast and I fell. I was terrified. When my dad realized what was happening, he came to my rescue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Metaphors\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 4: \"Dreamsicle #KeepingItCool\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even if it's not your day in one particular way, find a way to make it great! Say you don't win at a tennis match—shake it off and hang out with your friends! Have fun! At the end of every day, I ask myself, 'If today was my last day, would I be happy with how I spent it?' And if my answer is no, I do something to fix that!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Death\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 5: \"Life Savers #WhenLifeThrowsACurveball\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm also really loyal to the things I commit to. So for example, my four ponytail holders: I wear the same exact four ponytail holders every day of my life: pink, yellow, orange, and lime green. But even though I'm so loyal—trust me when I say this—I have fun trying new things!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#YOLO\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 6: \"Nerds & Smarties #Bookwormz\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not saying I'm a rocket scientist (though that would be awesome) or that I'm any better than all my brilliant and talented friends. What makes me different is that I'm proud of my intelligence and not afraid to say it! Hence why I'm writing a book! (Why are people so afraid to admit it's fun to read?)\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Feminism\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_twueFNob/?hl=en&taken-by=itsjojosiwa\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 7: \"Kit-Kat #GimmeABreak(Through)\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I say 'Know yourself, know your name,' I don't mean, 'Know your name is JoJo Siwa.' I mean, know what it means to be you. I know that being JoJo Siwa means I like to dance and act and wear my hair in a side ponytail. I know what I love and what I hate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#PonytailPhilosophy\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 8: \"Laffy Taffy #JoJoJokes\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of times with scary things, you might want to mix it up with comedy to keep you from being too frightened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#ScaryMovieFranchiseExplained\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 9: \"Sour Patch Kids #PeaceOutHaterz\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'They hate me!' I said. 'Why do they hate me?'\u003cbr>\n'Because they're haters,' said my mom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Wisdom\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 10: \"Good & Plenty #FriendsAreEverywhere\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's say they're singing \"Girls Just Want to Have Fun\" by Cyndi Lauper—I know it too, because I love the 1980s! My theory is that I was actually born in the eighties and the government transplanted me to present day. Just check out the way I dress if you need proof.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#TheTruthIsOutThere\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 11: \"Kinder Surprise #CalmCoolCollected\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember the very first time we went on the bus: My mom and I saw that all the other girls had MacBooks—but I didn't. When I got my first paycheck for the show, though, we made a trip to Best Buy—it was a reward for all my hard work!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#KeepUpWithTheJoneses\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 12: \"Gobstopper #Can'tStopWontStop\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even though we'd just met, I could tell Caryn believed in my talent. I liked her right away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Surprising\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 13: \"Starburst #LuckyCharmedLife\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you like smooth peanut butter, try crunchy peanut butter!

I'm talking about the imaginary kind that keeps the haters away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#BuildThatWall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 2: \"Sugar Babies #TBT/ #FBF\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Um, there's a really famous \u003ca href=\"https://www.seekingarrangement.com/browse/members/sugar-baby-female/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"adult arrangement\" website\u003c/a> with that exact same name—minus hashtags, obviously—and I can't believe no one spotted this in the editing process.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this chapter, JoJo uses types of candy to pinpoint what kind of personality you have. Example: \"Almond Joy: You're a little quirky, and proud of it! You're a leader and stand out from the pack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 3: \"My Peeps #FamilyMatters\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One time when I was really little, I tagged along with my dad to the gym. I went on the treadmill and because I didn't really know how to work it, I started going super fast and I fell. I was terrified. When my dad realized what was happening, he came to my rescue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Metaphors\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 4: \"Dreamsicle #KeepingItCool\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even if it's not your day in one particular way, find a way to make it great! Say you don't win at a tennis match—shake it off and hang out with your friends! Have fun! At the end of every day, I ask myself, 'If today was my last day, would I be happy with how I spent it?' And if my answer is no, I do something to fix that!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#Death\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 5: \"Life Savers #WhenLifeThrowsACurveball\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm also really loyal to the things I commit to. So for example, my four ponytail holders: I wear the same exact four ponytail holders every day of my life: pink, yellow, orange, and lime green. But even though I'm so loyal—trust me when I say this—I have fun trying new things!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>#YOLO\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chapter 6: \"Nerds & Smarties #Bookwormz\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not saying I'm a rocket scientist (though that would be awesome) or that I'm any better than all my brilliant and talented friends.

"content": "\u003cp>The influence of social media on teenage girls applies pressure daily. I know because I am one. The line between showing off our best selves and warping our appearances is too fine for comfort. My generation is the first for whom \u003ca href=\"http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html\">Photoshop\u003c/a> and filters have become our own personal domain, rather than that of advertisers. It takes a lot of courage to put the most real version of yourself on the internet -- a permanent realm. It's hard to love your pimple and keep it in your selfie, knowing that it may end up a topic in somebody else's group chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's always worth asking: How do Photoshopped selfies affect people other than the individual posting them? Even when I recognize that an image has been Photoshopped, I still sometimes find myself buying into the image of an ideal body or skin type. Even when I know, deep down, that an image is presenting unattainable, unrealistic perfection, it can be impossible not to crave it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These carefully curated images, presented daily on the Instagram accounts of a wealth of beautiful celebrities, can be a source of great insecurity. When I see fit, healthy famous people who are already stunning in real-life, presenting Photoshopped images, it can be difficult not to wonder: \"If \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/beyonce/\">Beyoncé\u003c/a> thinks her body needs to be edited, what on Earth does mine need?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited picture can, in some ways, be validation: an image of what we may someday achieve with time: clear skin, perfect body, gorgeous hair. I personally have felt tempted to adjust pictures of myself before posting them, and I think every girl my age has too. I'll even own up to posting an edited picture or two in the past, only to regret it later. We’re all experiencing growing pains, and body insecurity is part of the territory. The difference is, teenagers now exist in a more public space; the private insecurities of the teens who came before us are now out there for everyone to see and \"like\" and comment on. The stakes are higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young famous women are under pressure too. When a celebrity like \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kyliejenner/\">Kylie Jenner\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/selenagomez/\">Selena Gomez\u003c/a> Photoshops a picture of themselves on social media, it can make headlines. Sometimes, these posts garner millions of comments and criticisms, and are ultimately deleted shortly thereafter, presumably out of shame or regret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a school of thought that Photoshop and other editing apps are acceptable because social media is meant to showcase the best possible version of ourselves. It is said that the user publishing the picture, famous or not, should be able to have control over how it looks. After all, the internet is forever. But how are we supposed to practice self-love if our \"best selves\" are not our real selves?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1Qyks8QEM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, I have to remind myself that this (albeit awkward) stage in our lives is ultimately beautiful, with or without filters. We’re young and in the midst of creating ourselves. This is a time for us to celebrate and embrace our natural image through the process of internal and external growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As young people, our challenge is to ‘be the change.’ As the first generation dealing with these particular online pressures, we also need to be the generation that rejects the standards that push us to edit ourselves. If we begin to post our photos, feeling secure in our imperfections and encouraging others to do the same, the current standards of beauty may slowly become obsolete. Just as Instagram has become a forum to peddle perfection, it has also become a place for young people to own our flaws and embrace the realities of our bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we value love and acceptance above toned thighs; when we focus more on accepting all body types, shapes and sizes; when enough of us stop buying into -- and \"liking\" -- altered, unattainably flawless images, then wider media will eventually adapt to fit our interests and reshape what perfection looks like. This shift is already underway \u003ca href=\"http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/09/10/tess-holliday-curve-fashion-festival-plus-size-model/\">on runways\u003c/a>, where recent years have seen designers featuring models with previously \"unacceptable\" body types. When fashion houses do this, it is usually to much \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2201264/Worlds-oldest-supermodel-Carmen-dell-Orefice-81-takes-catwalk-twice-day-New-York-Fashion-Week.html\">acclaim\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://pulptastic.com/ny-fashion-week-models-disabilities/\">public praise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my peers, I would say: Before posting an edited picture of yourself, be sure to take into account its potential effects on others and on your own personal growth. Social media might be a source of pressure on us now, but if we use it as a source for change, it can be a source of empowerment too.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The line between showing off our best selves and warping our appearances is too fine for comfort. My generation is the first for whom \u003ca href=\"http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html\">Photoshop\u003c/a> and filters have become our own personal domain, rather than that of advertisers. It takes a lot of courage to put the most real version of yourself on the internet -- a permanent realm. It's hard to love your pimple and keep it in your selfie, knowing that it may end up a topic in somebody else's group chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's always worth asking: How do Photoshopped selfies affect people other than the individual posting them? Even when I recognize that an image has been Photoshopped, I still sometimes find myself buying into the image of an ideal body or skin type. Even when I know, deep down, that an image is presenting unattainable, unrealistic perfection, it can be impossible not to crave it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These carefully curated images, presented daily on the Instagram accounts of a wealth of beautiful celebrities, can be a source of great insecurity. When I see fit, healthy famous people who are already stunning in real-life, presenting Photoshopped images, it can be difficult not to wonder: \"If \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/beyonce/\">Beyoncé\u003c/a> thinks her body needs to be edited, what on Earth does mine need?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited picture can, in some ways, be validation: an image of what we may someday achieve with time: clear skin, perfect body, gorgeous hair. I personally have felt tempted to adjust pictures of myself before posting them, and I think every girl my age has too. I'll even own up to posting an edited picture or two in the past, only to regret it later. We’re all experiencing growing pains, and body insecurity is part of the territory. The difference is, teenagers now exist in a more public space; the private insecurities of the teens who came before us are now out there for everyone to see and \"like\" and comment on. The stakes are higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young famous women are under pressure too. When a celebrity like \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kyliejenner/\">Kylie Jenner\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/selenagomez/\">Selena Gomez\u003c/a> Photoshops a picture of themselves on social media, it can make headlines. Sometimes, these posts garner millions of comments and criticisms, and are ultimately deleted shortly thereafter, presumably out of shame or regret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is said that the user publishing the picture, famous or not, should be able to have control over how it looks. After all, the internet is forever. But how are we supposed to practice self-love if our \"best selves\" are not our real selves?\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Xe1Qyks8QEM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Xe1Qyks8QEM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>In the end, I have to remind myself that this (albeit awkward) stage in our lives is ultimately beautiful, with or without filters. We’re young and in the midst of creating ourselves. This is a time for us to celebrate and embrace our natural image through the process of internal and external growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As young people, our challenge is to ‘be the change.’ As the first generation dealing with these particular online pressures, we also need to be the generation that rejects the standards that push us to edit ourselves. If we begin to post our photos, feeling secure in our imperfections and encouraging others to do the same, the current standards of beauty may slowly become obsolete. Just as Instagram has become a forum to peddle perfection, it has also become a place for young people to own our flaws and embrace the realities of our bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we value love and acceptance above toned thighs; when we focus more on accepting all body types, shapes and sizes; when enough of us stop buying into -- and \"liking\" -- altered, unattainably flawless images, then wider media will eventually adapt to fit our interests and reshape what perfection looks like. This shift is already underway \u003ca href=\"http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/09/10/tess-holliday-curve-fashion-festival-plus-size-model/\">on runways\u003c/a>, where recent years have seen designers featuring models with previously \"unacceptable\" body types. When fashion houses do this, it is usually to much \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2201264/Worlds-oldest-supermodel-Carmen-dell-Orefice-81-takes-catwalk-twice-day-New-York-Fashion-Week.html\">acclaim\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://pulptastic.com/ny-fashion-week-models-disabilities/\">public praise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my peers, I would say: Before posting an edited picture of yourself, be sure to take into account its potential effects on others and on your own personal growth. Social media might be a source of pressure on us now, but if we use it as a source for change, it can be a source of empowerment too.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Alas, they are tradition and mandatory. But what about perking up your average work day with a floral accessory? What if everyone in your office had to bring a buddy a corsage?

How about siphoning a little bit of liquor from each bottle in your parents' bar for one unholy flask of underage hangover? Sure, you can legally drink now, but wasn't there a little fun in the risk of getting caught? One friend of mine made the unfortunate mistake of opening a bottle of his dad's 40 year old Scotch.

It would have been wrong to try anything then, but hey, you're both adults now and we live in a world of Facebook. Look them up and see if they're single.

Our time slot was Tuesdays from 2PM-4PM, which we thought was awesome. We mainly stuck to the rules, playing what was required and popular, making sure to state the name of the radio station every four songs, playing PSAs for pet adoption. But there were times we could sneak \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lowest_of_the_Low\">our own CDs\u003c/a> and songs onto the air, rebellious in our own way, hoping the whole world was listening at those moments. “Half Angel Half Light” is the sound of college radio and potentially, college radio DJs: a lo-fi sensibility with punches of defiant energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq19haZ0w7s&w=420&h=315]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Foxygen – “San Francisco”\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nUnsure of the origin (except that it’s a Paul Frank \u003ca href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kFjS2krrPrE/S880wBAcdEI/AAAAAAAAAv8/ZdU9CxulqsQ/s1600/Cohen.png\">tee-shirt\u003c/a>), the punk ethos of \u003cem>here are three chords, now start a band\u003c/em> could work well with any genre and there’s definitely something wide-eyed about it. Cut to: Foxygen’s “San Francisco.” The chord changes are ostensibly simple-sounding and novice, the lyrics almost like that of a torch song.

But with “Dropla,” it’s the looping lyric of the chorus: \u003cem>you will never die\u003c/em> / \u003cem>you will never die \u003c/em>that sells the song for me.

The call and response of Ben Gibbard and Jen Wood (super coincidentally of Tattle Tale) is easy on the ears but heavy on the heart, almost as if it was written for the stage. In “Your Fine Petting Duck,” there is the same call and response, similar warm beats -- note the transition from shoe-shuffler to pop Krautdance -- and although it is somewhat lyrically somber, the cute factor here will have you blushing in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/60669539?byline=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cstrong>Waxahatchee – “You’re Damaged”\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">When you leave the pyrotechnics at the door, this is wonderfully what you’re left with. Here Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee strums an acoustic guitar and belts out a dirge reminiscent of \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/XqS0mY9rYb0\">Jeff Mangum\u003c/a>, Low, and Bruce Springsteen’s \u003cem>Nebraska. \u003c/em>It’s very: I’m in the kitchen recording this song with a tape recorder I took out from the library and the lyrics are from multiple LiveJournal entries.

Or, if you’re in a city, take a walk to a train or to a bus and to a body of water and find a bench and sit on it and check out the seagulls or whatever is contemplative. And you’ll probably be by yourself, which is perfect. “The Woodpile” is a great tune to lay over the rolling end credits of a television show, but like Netflix, there’s always something ready to begin in ten seconds.

Our time slot was Tuesdays from 2PM-4PM, which we thought was awesome. We mainly stuck to the rules, playing what was required and popular, making sure to state the name of the radio station every four songs, playing PSAs for pet adoption. But there were times we could sneak \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lowest_of_the_Low\">our own CDs\u003c/a> and songs onto the air, rebellious in our own way, hoping the whole world was listening at those moments. “Half Angel Half Light” is the sound of college radio and potentially, college radio DJs: a lo-fi sensibility with punches of defiant energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Tq19haZ0w7s'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Tq19haZ0w7s'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Foxygen – “San Francisco”\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nUnsure of the origin (except that it’s a Paul Frank \u003ca href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kFjS2krrPrE/S880wBAcdEI/AAAAAAAAAv8/ZdU9CxulqsQ/s1600/Cohen.png\">tee-shirt\u003c/a>), the punk ethos of \u003cem>here are three chords, now start a band\u003c/em> could work well with any genre and there’s definitely something wide-eyed about it. Cut to: Foxygen’s “San Francisco.” The chord changes are ostensibly simple-sounding and novice, the lyrics almost like that of a torch song.

But with “Dropla,” it’s the looping lyric of the chorus: \u003cem>you will never die\u003c/em> / \u003cem>you will never die \u003c/em>that sells the song for me.

The call and response of Ben Gibbard and Jen Wood (super coincidentally of Tattle Tale) is easy on the ears but heavy on the heart, almost as if it was written for the stage. In “Your Fine Petting Duck,” there is the same call and response, similar warm beats -- note the transition from shoe-shuffler to pop Krautdance -- and although it is somewhat lyrically somber, the cute factor here will have you blushing in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/60669539?byline=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cstrong>Waxahatchee – “You’re Damaged”\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\">When you leave the pyrotechnics at the door, this is wonderfully what you’re left with.
