Dear Piers Morgan...

I know you say outrageous things in interviews, whilst presenting and in your tweets for a reaction and even by me writing this post I'm pandering to your immature journalism but this time I can't hold my tongue. One of your recent tweets discussed how women shouldn't complain about being objectified if they wear an outfit that highlighted their legs or cleavage. This statement is quite frankly stupid. Why can't women wear something that makes them feel confident and sexy within themselves? Are men not capable of controlling themselves? At university I have worn many outfits to make MYSELF feel good, not to impress men, and all of my male friends have been respectful. Nicola Thorpe would be well within her right to 'complain' if a anyone, not just men, made a sexist remark to her for wearing what she wants to wear.

Another tweet that I just thought was ludicrous was the one where you blamed Raheem Sterling for Prince George playing with a toy gun. This I am aware was partly a joke because you can't seriously believe that this was the footballers fault? If it was a joke then aren't you part of the problem, making gun violence a joke? When reading your tweet a lyric from the new The 1975 song came to mind, 'like context in a modern debate I just took it out'. Do you know why Sterling has that gun tattoo? He is not promoting the use of guns. He is not condoning gun violence in any way. It is a way for him to commemorate his dad who died due to gun violence. Did this cross your mind when blaming him for Prince George's toy? I didn't think so. If you are going to do social commentary please get your facts right.

30 things I want to do before I'm 30

Hi lovelies! I'm turning 18 soon and thought it would be a good idea to write this post and then come back to it when I turn 30 and see if I could tick all of the thing off of the list! Having a check list for me means that I'm more obligated to go ahead with my ideas rather than pushing them to the back of my mind and backing it of them. SO here we go! 30: Have a spontaneous holiday. Go to the airport and just get a plane. I think this would be so much fun! 29: Fall in love. I know very cheesy but if I haven't fallen in love by the time I'm 30 I may as well be Bridget Jones; become a spinster and be eaten by wild Alsatians. If you've seen the film you'd get that reference! 28: Be in a job I love! Listen up future me if you aren't in a job you love leave it now and get one you do! There's no point in working somewhere that doesn't motivate you to get up every morning. 27: Had the courage to start up Youtube again. I posted some videos last year...

Let's talk about sex!

Hello lovelies! I would like to start by saying thank you for the great response I've received about last weeks post! So many people have contacted me through social media and people in my year at school have said that it was helpful and relatable so thank you! Now as you can probably tell from the title this weeks post is going to be surrounding the subject of sex. Yep, sex. That dreaded word. For some people the topic is easily approachable and they have no problem with communicating their feelings about it. However some find it a taboo subject and it's difficult to convey what they want to say without being judged. This is what I want to talk about this week; to begin a discussion about sex and the pressures that it brings to young people. For me personally it's not the people I interact with sexually that pressure me, I feel pressure from social expectation. I got to the age of around 14/15 and people in my year at school started to experience it and I started to qu...
