“‘we’ is super important because it’s not ‘i’ (self-blame with no real stepping point) and it’s not ‘they’ (pushing it off on anyone else); he’s talking about himself and the whole human race. he’s taking responsibility while also recognizing that most of us need to change. for the first time in a long time he believes that he and everyone else can change and improve and reach for something better and for the first time in a long time he has hope for himself and for the future.” — clarkskenting
People who are genuinely happy in their relationships usually don’t post about it on social media.
Studies show that someone who’s always gushing about their partner on Facebook is tied to how insecure they are in their relationship - while those who are more secure spend time enjoying their relationships instead of trying to convince other people (and themselves) how happy they are.
Abstinence-only-until-marriage programs are statistically ineffective.
Studies show they reinforce gender stereotypes, undermine public health programs, violate adolescent human rights by withholding accurate medical information, and they don’t actually delay sexual activity.

This happens due to ‘motivated reasoning,’ a psychology term that refers to the way people usually believe whatever they want to believe and use the flimsiest piece of evidence to justify that belief, even when there is plenty of verified evidence to disprove it.
