Teenage Life Quotes

[embedded content] High school romance films are as sweet and irresistibly charming as freshly baked cookies — I just can't get enough of them! Because this is one of my favorite movie genres, I can't wait for Chemical Hearts to premiere on Amazon Prime on Aug. 21. The movie, which stars Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams, is based on the book of the same name by Krystal Sutherland. If you read the book way back in 2016, you're probably already super excited for the movie to come out (although, to be fair, it could be different). If not, keep reading for some major spoilers. You've been warned! When Henry Meets Grace When Henry (Abrams) meets Grace (Reinhart), he even admits that it isn't memorable — she simply shuffles into class wearing oversize "boy clothes" and holding a cane. When the class ends, he doesn't think about her again until they are both asked to be editors of the school newspaper. Grace turns down the job, saying, "I don't...

Friends drinking Source: Pascal König/Pixabay Friends with benefits (FWB) relationships are more common on college campuses than ever before. These relationships are often viewed as a simple way to have casual sex and appeal to many people because they can sexually experiment without commitment. Scholars typically define these relationships as "no strings attached" or as strictly physical relationships. But in reality, FWB relationships are much more diverse. Some people will use a FWB relationship as a trial for future commitments or use them to transition out of an exclusive relationship. Other times, FWB relationships are merely used for serial hookups—all the sex with none of the emotions. But some types of FWB also include sincere friends who want to have sex and care about each other emotionally, but don't want to be romantic or exclusive. Though there are many different motivations for starting FWB relationships, which are often viewed as ...

Why should the benefits of dying be limited to the dead (or nearly dead)? That's the question that Mel Slater hasn't been able to get out of his head. Slater, a distinguished investigator in clinical psychology at the University of Barcelona, had been interested in near-death experiences, or NDEs, for years. While they're considered fairly rare, thousands of these incidents have been documented in diaries, medical case studies, and online forums—and analyzed by researchers for similarities. It turns out, the stereotypical bright light at the end of the tunnel is real; many people who almost die report the same key visuals. What's less well known is that survivors also often report an overwhelming sense of peace, gratitude, and even oneness of the world. "You see your life as a whole," Slater told The Daily Beast, "and you realize the meaning of life is more important than buying my next car." So Slater, who's also co-director of the university...

Make this Halloween special by wishing your loved ones with these messages and quotes.  Though Halloween is a festival celebrated in Western countries like Europe and America, recently Indians have also joined the bandwagon to organise parties and celebrate the festival. They come together, organise and attend theme parties, wear scary make ups and costumes, and prepare food using pumpkins on every October 31 evening.  Halloween, or All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration of the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It is a day that is dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints or hallows, martyrs, and all the departed souls. Some believe that the festival was initially influenced by the Celtic harvest festivals while others believe that it began solely as a Christian holiday. Besides partying, some of the popular Halloween activities include 'trick or treat' in which children donning spooky costumes trav...

The Australian book market posted strong results throughout the Covid-affected years of 2020 and 2021, and has continued this growth in 2022, with overall sales for the year to June 18 up 4.1% year-to-year, for a total of A$544 million. Coming after two years of consecutive growth in 2020 (up 7.8%) and 2021 (up 2.5%), it shows that the market is trading well above the last pre-Covid year of 2019. This year's growth is driven by strong performing titles in the Adult Fiction, Children's, Young Adult and Educational categories. Romance sales had a huge jump (77%) due in large part to Colleen Hoover titles, and the growth in the Romance category generally, heavily driven by TikTok trends. But, while TikTok has been a positive development for sales overall, contemporary romance author Sally Thorne is the only major Australian success story on the platform. The Children's Comic Strip Fiction & Graphic Novels category received a boost from sales of Alice Oseman's Heart...

Our relationships need nurturing at all times of the year, but as the temperature drops and summer's excitement comes to end, it's a particularly good time to be intentional about cultivating a sense of ease, warmth, and comfort in our relationships in preparation for the colder months ahead. And with all the hot chocolate, chunky sweaters, and scenic nature views, fall may very well be the time of year for cozy romance. "Making regular time to connect with our partner is not only the soul food of love, but it maintains us through the stormy and frosty seasons of our relationships," licensed marriage and family therapist Linda Carroll, LMFT, writes at mbg. Whether you're married and looking for date night ideas, planning out a first date, or just looking for cute things to do with your friends as the weather cools, these fall date ideas promise to give you all the soft, dreamy, autumnal feels:

How often have we fumbled in expressing our love to our significant others or crushes? Or how frequently have we settled with a simple I love you? And how many times have we desired that our partners express themselves a tab bit more openly? Well, there is hope where there is love. While a simple yet traditional I love you also means a lot (something is better than nothing, right?), it does not always feel enough. A lot of us, at times, want a Shakespearan-styled love expression, romanticize a rom-com movie-styled affection, or wish for even a minutely grand romantic love quote to express how much hea...

Like singer Neal Sedaka once crooned, breaking up is hard to do. While there's no perfect way to end a relationship, ghosting the person you want to dump in order to avoid a goodbye—however awkward it may be—is plain cruel. It leaves the dumpee hurt, confused, and without closure. Likewise, sugarcoated lines about why you're calling it quits could give the other false hope. The best thing to do when ending a relationship is to take an honest approach, no matter how difficult that may be. But what should you say when you feel that the time has come to part ways? We've collected a list of breakup messages (some kind and some meant to burn!) to deliver when a romance is over, inspiring quotes about ending a relationship that is no longer working, and some of the most iconic breakup lines from film and television. So, if you find yourself in need of ending a relationship for good or want some reassurance that you made the right decision in making a clean break, here are 101 of ...
