I know this has carrot in it but it also has 2 tablespoons of sugar so it's definitely a treat.

2020 has been a difficult year. Let's face it - it sucks! You might be struggling mentally and emotionally due to Covid-19. You might be in isolation, your family might be struggling financially or tensions at home might be high, you might miss seeing grandparents or family or friends, you might have missed out celebrating a birthday or a family holiday. You might just feel down because of all the bad news in the world at the moment. You are not alone.

If you are struggling, talk to someone about it - your parents, an aunt, teacher, chaplain or other trusted adult. You may also need to see a counsellor or psychologist. There are people out there who can help you through this difficult season. I'm seeing a counsellor next week as I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed and blue.

Here's a funny advertisement about porn from New Zealand.

When I was a kid, if you wanted to view porn you had to send someone's big brother to the local newsagent and buy a dirty magazine (it was a long time ago). Now, it's hard to avoid porn - it's available on your phone, computer or television. It's not just boys who view porn, many girls do as well. One of the main problems with porn is that it encourages some very unhealthy attitudes and behaviours about sex: 
  • mutual consent isn't important
  • safe sex isn't important
  • violent sexual acts are normal
  • the point of sex is to satisfy men
  • loving relationships aren’t important
  • aggressive behaviour towards women is OK.
​Sex is meant to be part of a respectful relationship - this is not the message that pornography sends.
