...love to feign insouciance about cancer, or to tell apocryphal stories about its apparently random nature - of some haggard two-pack-a-day smoker who lived to be 96, versus the exquisite gamine who never smoked, always used sunscreen and did yoga, but went in for a routine checkup and was told she wouldn't see her 25th birthday. But while it used to be difficult to know who would and who would not be its victims, cancer is easier to predict these days.

...firing up an Internet Relay Chat program--software that connects them to a worldwide network of chat rooms. The next step is to make up a user name and find a chat room dedicated to credit-card fraud.

...that’s meant to bind you to your partner...I think the way to be an empowered woman is to realize that there’s a power in coming from saying no, as opposed to having to shut off some part of yourself and just have random sex.

Just on the topic of masturbation, girls are not encouraged to discuss it. Just think of all the terms we have...
