Teenagers expectations/ reality

Sex education, it is a load of Bulls**t. It never prepares you for the deed. It just makes a load of children uncomfortable, grossed out and embarrassed. Skipping a couple of years forward, we still are not prepared though. We hide the awkwardness in curiosity and our unawareness is bliss. We do not get another lecture or a lesson about sexual intercourse, we are expected to know. Our parents, I have to give them credit….They were the ones that created the ‘Birds and the Bees talk’. Now before any one goes crazy, I am not an expert nor am I claiming to be one. But the amount of people that ask me, what to expect is hilarious. We all like to think or act like we are experts but at times were as clueless as the next virgin (not so much now). So I carried out an anonymous questionnaire, these are my results!

I asked a few questions, mainly about expectations and reality. Embarrassing moments, and the unawareness.

1) The awkwardness of discussing sex- it just does not matter how old you are, the conversation never gets lighter. Especially to parents, mom/dad I do not care how old we are, we can never talk about yours or my sex life. *cringe*

2) Puberty- Everyone goes through it, you laugh, you cry, you either hated secondary or loved it. Prison for the crime of puberty---was secondary school. Majority would agree.

3) Experimenting- whether you are experimenting with sexual orientation, or positions, it does not matter. Because everyone tries something new, so we are not different.

4) Girls, it does not matter on what your partner’s sexual orientation is, and no matter how much preparing you do. Boys for some unknown reason will always be fascinated with your anal! There is no explanation, I have tried asking many males, and they either shrug their shoulders or say "I actually do not know".

5) Girls, it does not matter how many times you actually go through with having sex, you will probably buy a lot of cheap pregnancy tests from the pound shop. The amount of scares you and your friends will have will be unbelievable.

6) Girls and boys cannot be best friends. Its society for you nowadays. But if you want to ignore them, be a black sheep, and ignore the herd! :) I did, and I never regretted it!

7) Letting wind pass- Do not hold it in. Whether you are being romantic, or making moves. Just let it out, because it will come out eventually, but the timing may be so wrong. The majority of my volunteers where females with a few males. Why keep it in? Let it go, and politely apologise if it is noticed.

8) Spooning- Seems innocent? No what they do not tell you is, the guy gets a dead arm, a face full of hair. And you girls get an awkward boner near your arse, urging you on to help the little guy out.

9) They say you should never lie to a doctor, but I can guarantee majority of teenagers already have. *tut-tut-tut* But admit it, if they as you “have you ever had sex” and your parents is right there, you say no.

10)  “Nothing we can do together is ever going to be embarrassing”. Remember, if you pick the right guy, he will not care about what you have done or not. Because Here are the facts: most teens are still virgins. Most teens do not go to keg parties. Most teens do not use drugs. In fact, the rate of these behaviours is actually going down. Such behaviour is not inevitable, despite what the media make it seem.

If you find this offensive, or a joke leave a comment.

I will amend. Share me your opinions. But like i have said this is based on an anonymous questionnaire with 50 people.

Thanks :)

Creativity Dulls.

I have written in a while. I have a busy life, a hectic one in fact. Recently i have started being arty again, i am in need of some new art supplies (excited). Not a typical girl, i get more excited going shopping for art supplies than i do with  clothes. I enjoy more conversations about cars than i do bitching about wanna be celebs. Anyway, this blog may not appeal to the vast majority of you, but it is something i enjoy. It is just a post to let you read until my main one is ready to be uploaded. 

Creativity, in more ways than one it becomes a trait we loose with age. We do not imagine, we do not express ourselves. instead we do not lead a herd, we follow.
Art, it is one subject i love, i really do. There is no right or wrong. just you and time. I have learnt what ones definition of beauty is another's definition of hatred. I am an artist, or so i would like to think so. i enjoy art, i do it. So therefore i am an artist.  i may not be good at textiles, make-up, organising outfits, but i can draw , i can paint, sketch. Imagine. Everyone can.
It helps me de-stress and unwind. it allows me to be me. I look at thing differently, i look at shades not blocked COLOURS . I tend to always go that extra mile, if you look at my university notes, around the borders you will see little comic or animals stories. I draw explanation rather than write huge amount of words that does not make sense to me.
In my previous blog 'Dyslexia' , i found that nearly  eighty percent of people who choose the creative subjects are more likely to be dyslexia. There is no current explanation. But it does make sense. Your not relying on order or fixed rules. In art you make the rules as you go along, and if one day you decide to jump high, no one gives a damn.
So get a piece of paper, and draw. If you do not like it, do not bin it. Keep going, you will be suprised. Being an art student i never listened to my teachers advice (shocker). If she did not like it, tough, it was my work not hers. If i did not like it, tough, i stick it down and write a description on how to improve and what i did not like about the drawing.
Here is just a few things i have done over the couple of months.
At first i started of with paper, , watercolours, colouring pencils.                                                      

Then i experimented with oil pastels, and oil paints:)

Now i love using acrylic paint, and doing wall murals.

 This was my first attempt, i got sick of seeing just plain boring one colour painted rooms. So i sketched out the pandas on a scrap piece of paper. and i decided to paint it. It only took me ninety minutes. :)








This was my room, my second attempt of wall murals. And in all fairness i nearly packed my bags and moved. it took so long with the tiny branches and constant shading. acrylic paints dries so fast, your constantly against the clock.

 we have moved recently, so i had a blank canvas (wall). With mine and sienna obsession with bambi. I already had a new design i wanted to try out. I loved doing this art piece. it allowed me to research new techniques on shading and paint brushes.:)









I may not have the time, to do the amount of art i want. And i definitely do not have the time to experiment as much. Not even sketching. Being a parent , it allows me to heighten sienna abilities. I keep her mind open to every activity i can provide. Me being arty, i love getting the arts and craft out. Most parent cuss, because it is a messy job, and most children love painting anything but the paper. but you must remember it greats bonding time, everything does wash and it is easy to clean!
So enjoy. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, but once should be enough if you live it the right way.
