We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ann, that's a ferret.
Beanbag! And the Palliser novels!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
So, going back, I dunno. 1 in 5 abused teengirls in relationships seems really high to me.
I liked the book, FWIW.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I agree, Kat. That seems really high. I hope it's incorrect.

If I only had a brain...
Oops. My last Crusie post wound up on the old thread:

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
She said that 1 in 5 teenage girls has been abused in a relationship, according to JAMA which I found shocking
This strikes me as fuzzy statisticking. For one thing, "teenage" should by rights cover 13-19 inclusive, and of these, how many have dated, and of these, how many can be called in a "relationship"? What's a relationship, in this study?
Not that JAMA has free archives, or anything. Feh.

I like the darker stuff in the Crusie books. I know you're shocked.
