Age specific advice
Age specific advice: There will be rough patches, especially probably the hormonal middle school years, but get through them and life will keep getting better.
I had included a happiness rating for each period at the start, on a scale of 1-10, 10 best.
3 Early childhood: I was happy enough, even if my mom was a fair bit crazy and gossiped on the phone and ignored her kids.… read more “Age specific advice”
Save Democracy
We need to protect democracy.
But what is democracy?
Can you have a democracy without free speech?
