Wondering if all college teens do this.

Their naively can be very costly.

Hopefully, revoking Roe vs Wade will put a stop on these trends

And have more alcohol and sex.

My college had a similar book and it was called the "Freshmeat Book."

Why? Really? To draw the interest of their male classmates.

OP here. While someone had my last reply flagged, all I will say is that it takes a lot to raise a kid these days, especially a confident young female. All I can hope is that I have given my own daughter the right guidance and that she will make good decisions during college.

I'll leave it at that.

And they drank the kool aid pushed by the media, entertainment industry, etc that women’s primary value is their looks/sexuality.

Parents have to work to counteract this pervasive message.

I am not looking down on the girls but it makes just finding a roommate a nightmare for larger girls (ones that don’t like their size.)

I know there is more body positivity now but still — it’s really discouraging that bikini shots are a norm when finding a same-gender roommate should not be related to your looks.

Some people care about where society is heading.

What world their grandchildren will be left with.

Your views are so evolved.

I hope that you are not raising children in 2022.
