I wanted to check on the dating game, since I've been out of the scene for at least 10 years. My girlfriend said things aren't the same as it used to be, and that I wouldn't

By: Carolina Pichardo For the last few months, I've been reading a lot about the Casey Anthony case, followed every criticism/post of MTV's Teen Mom (which just launched it’s 3rd season), and even been on the overall lookout for teen moms in the U.S. You see, much like a lot of those young moms you see in the mainstream, I was very confused about being young, a

By: Catherine M. Harris My life was around me in boxes, and my 5-year-old asleep. At midnight I should have been sleeping, but instead I stood in my daughter's bedroom juggling lengths of a wooden bunk bed, tears of frustration in my eyes, cursing the instructions that said: "Do not attempt assembly without assistance."
