One of the best parts of summer recess is the sudden absence of adult supervision. It’s less likely someone older is around ensuring that your bedroom door stays open or scolding you to “get to class.” There are places to sneak away to that the colder months don’t allow and no such thing as a school night that forces you to end your evenings early. These new circumstances won’t change things for everyone, but the extra freedom and opportunity might lead to extra fooling around.

East Los High is back! Season 2 premieres TODAY on Hulu and we are so excited. To celebrate, we gave sneak peek copies of the first episode to two members of our Youth Leadership Team and asked them to tell us what they thought.

Ariana Grande just came out with a new song just in time for summer. It’s called Problem and it’s my new jam. Though she’s only come out with a lyric video, it’s pretty awesome to watch. 

So you think you want to break up with your significant other. I’m sure there were reasons that led you to this. Maybe their breath smelled. Maybe they always said YOLO. Whatever the reason may be, your mind is made up. But. You have to consider how you tell them. If you say these things, you may get slapped or have an overly dramatic and embarrassing situation weeks later.*

Every week, we get a ton of questions asking everything from how to use a condom to how to talk to that cute guy in AP English. When we get a really good one, we want to share it with the world because—chances are—more than one person has the very same question. So, from time to time, we'll be sharing the best of the best (anonymously of course!)…have a question for us? Send us an email!

If you listen to what TV, movies, and music tells you about relationships it all sounds pretty fake.  There’s either the couple who is super in love and is perfect, or there’s more drama than there is relationship. But if you’ve ever been in a stable relationship (and good for you if you have), you’ll know that it’s somewhere in the middle, hopefully closer to a perfect relationship than the drama. 

Ohhh… the winter time. Such a beautiful time of the year! It’s especially beautiful if you have a special someone to share it with! A date doesn’t have to be the boring, cliché “dinner and a movie.” I know if you have that special someone, you want to be different. Right? Well there are A LOT of things that you can do. 

I can still distinctly remember my five-year-old self drawing pictures in crayon of my dream man. He was tall with blond hair and a goofy smile. Granted, his smile could have been goofy due to my amateur drawing skills, but the dream for a future with the perfect man was there. 

Being in a relationship with someone means they have the power to drive you absolutely freaking CRAY CRAY.  The deep emotions that come along with being romantically involved means not only rainbows and butterflies, but experiencing anger and annoyance on whole new levels.   Getting upset with your partner cannot be avoided, but letting your annoyance ruin the relationship can be.  Here’s how to deal when the person you love is making you nuts.
