I keep hoping that once I leave high school people will stop calling me a slut for what I wear or what I don't wear, but I know they won't because that's how the world is.

High school sucks. That sounds so cliche, I know and I apologise for that, but it's so true. I could rephrase that to say it sucks to be a teenage girl. Everything about you is sexualised. You're either a slut or a prude and there's no in between. I'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. Although like a lot of girls, I am interested in men, I can't stand this objectification thing that every teenage girl is forced to go through. I was lucky enough to be blessed with really nice boobs. I know that sounds weird, but hey, I think they're pretty great. But until this year, I was so insecure about my body, particularly my breasts, because I was so paranoid about men staring at me and giving me super sexual looks. No girl, whether young or old, should be insecure about her body because she is afraid that a man might try to take advantage of her. I decide to wear a baggy shirt and I'm a frigid bitch. If I wear a tight tank top because hey, I should be able to, I'm a slut and need to cover up. Why is it okay for my classmates to call me a slut because I decide to wear shorts and a tight T-shirt? If I talk about wanting to have sex with someone, why is that a sin, but if any guy talks about it it's normal? Or here's my favourite... When a guy shows he's interested but he grosses you out or you just don't want to go out with him, he can call you a bitch or a slut and it's totally okay. What is wrong with a woman's choice to say yes or no? She says yes and she's a tramp who sleeps with everyone and should be stopped. But if she says no, she's a horrible bitch who hates dudes. I keep hoping that once I leave high school people will stop calling me a slut for what I wear or what I don't wear, but I know they won't because that's how the world is. That's why I need The UnSlut Project. I want to be able to say yes or no and not have that decision picked apart or judged by people whose opinions don't matter. I don't know. It sucks.
