Health Class Might Be Part Of The Reason Our Hook-Up Culture Is A Raging Dumpster Fire
Who remembers health class in school? It feels like we all took it for a really long time, but how much did any of us really know about sex when we left high school? Some of us were already having sex—which is fine, to each their own—but there were people who still didn't understand that it could get you pregnant!

Where Do They Get These Ideas?
Does this kid hang out with the aluminum foil kid? Because that would make sense. I still don't think that it would cause a fire, but at least that would make more sense as a question in general.
