Always Have Confidence

Hey everyone!

So for my video of the week I wanted to bring it to a more serious topic because the past few weeks have been more fun and entertaining videos, which is fine,  but it's nice to talk about the serious stuff as well.

A video came out this week which spoke about a girls confidence and it made me think that still in today's world we in some situations can still be seen as not as good as a boy. Now don't get me wrong this is not some big rant about feminism but as this video shows there is a line when we grow up that is crossed where we no longer have the same confidence as we did when we were younger. This could be a factor of many things, situations, and people but clearly there is something wrong when a 10 year old knows to be themselves to say a 16 who has taken an idea to heart and no longer thinks of a "girl" as a positive thing.

As you can probably tell this is a video of multiple people both female and male in varying ages acting "like a girl". All of the male's make girls out to be a group of people that can't properly do something, for example not able to throw a ball properly. Not only is it the males that think this, it is also the older females too. There is hope though, because the younger girls show the proper way to throw, run, and fight, they don't act like a group of people that are weaker they act like a group of the same level. This is a video that will really make you question your out look on certain things but definitely in a good way. Always did a fantastic job on this video, not matter if it was for promotional purposes or not, it was really well done and was able to get their point across.

That is it for this week! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and let me know if you have any questions!

Consent

Hey everyone!

So I have decided for my Friday entries I will be posting my
faviourte video of the week for now on. This can be a video from YouTube, a
Vine (I occasionally watch them), and even just a movie that I watched that I
think other people would like. Basically they will be a “what have I watched
this week post” and might also sometimes feature an article if I come across
one that I feel other people need to see. The reason that I am starting this is
because I am on my computer every day, watching videos, TV shows, and movies so
I thought I would share that part of my life with everyone else.

The video that I am featuring this week is on the more serious side of things and is a video by
charlieissocoollike who is a YouTuber that I am subscribed to and his videos
are fantastic. They are mostly vlog like videos but he has also made some short
films and has done some collaborations. This video is called Sex & Consent
and it is basically a video about consent during sex, and how no means no even
if you didn’t say no.  He talked about
how any type of sign that another other partner didn’t appear to be into the
sexual activity that it should stop, even if the other person didn’t directly
say no. Something like this may happen to you in the future and I want you to be prepared with what to do.

I am being very honest right now, and will say that something
like this has happened to me in the past. I wasn’t physically forced to do something
but I knew at the time my partner wanted me to participate in sexual activity
that I wasn’t ready for but in the heat of things I was pushed to do something
that I knew I didn’t want to do, and I know I didn’t say anything but it was
pretty obvious that I didn’t want to participate. I gave in to what he wanted
because at that time I had only had one boyfriend and was very inexperienced
with things so I did what he wanted, fearing that if I didn’t that our time
together would have been over. I know now what he did was wrong and I was wrong
for not saying anything but it’s in the past and I can’t do anything about it
now. What I can do though is tell YOU to do the opposite thing that I did in
that situation because I regret not saying no, and not pushing for what I wanted.

Sorry, if that was information that maybe you didn’t want to
read, but I want people to know that it is not okay if their partner or others
are making them participate in things that they do not consent to. I have
posted the video down below if you are interested in watching it, I highly recommend!
It is both a serious video with a few bits of comedy so if you ware one to not
like completely serious videos, you’ll probably like it.

Not all the videos I post will entail such serious topics,
most will be comedy, but when I saw this I wanted to get this message across to
more people. Anyways enjoy the video and if you have any questions let me know!

Take care! xxx
