Hugging is a good medicine
It transfers energy and gives the person
hugged an emotional lift. You need four hugs
a day for survival, eight for maintenance, and
twelve for growth. Scientists say that hugging
is a form of communication because it can say
things you don't have the words for. And the
nicest thing about a hug us that you usually can't
give one without getting one.
For every boy and girl (strong poem)
For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable. For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl tired of people not trusting her intelligence. For every girl who is tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentle, to weep. For every boy for whom competition is the only way to prove his masculinity. There is a girl called unfeminine when she competes.For every girl who throws out her E-Z-bake oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one. For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad-industry's attacks on her self-esteem. For every girl who takes a step toward her liberation, there is a boy who finds the way to freedom a little easier.
