Where they “lose their virginity” aka are raped. Horrifying

It's disgusting how many men are sexually attracted to children.

That woman is a hero, f**k all those pedophiles roaming around that area

Every place need a similar chief. Respect!

True hero

I read about this a while ago. Why did it take so long? For the same reason that illnesses that present differently in women get misdiagnosed or treated in the same manner as they would for male patients. Basically, lazy science.

Wow! This is something we need more of! I‘ve read previously that darker skinned people are often misdiagnosed. We NEED more information about different kind of bodys. I know in todays culture we like to say that all humans are the same, but at least medically speaking, we are not. Women are different from men, children from adults and different ethnic groups have different features too. For example: Asians are more often lactose intolerant, arn‘t they? I think we need to know more about these kinds of differences. Especially in countries where lots of different kinds of people are living together.

First year of med school during the pediatric unit, instructors kept talking about visual signs and symptoms of congenital disorders at birth and so many included cyanosis or blue tinged skin from lack of oxygen. I asked what about babies with darker complexions. They didn’t have an answer and said to just use a pulse ox.

That is awesome! I wish he would do one about the difference between Oedema and Scabies for my doctor's surgery, so he can teach them the bl**dy difference

This kid’s a genius! When they “black don’t crack”, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. The only marks that tend to be prominent on dark skin are keloid scars. This was an extremely important discovery.

No one should be embarrassed of having hard-working parents. No job should be an embarrassment. Unless your job is wiping Putin's bum. That's embarrassing.

There are no small jobs. Only small people.

I was fortunate to grow up in an amazing CT suburb where we had a janitorial staff that was amazing, we affectionately referred to the head janitor as "uncle eric". I'll always remember going into k-6 feeling safe bc he was there. My mom would periodically ask about him and I realized they grew up together - her a waitress and him a janitor and the mutual respect was beautiful.

What your parents do for work is not what is important. It's what your parents do for you that counts

The time will come when janitors are paid more than teachers.

Near where I work, the local council opened a social enterprise coffee shop-it was designed to help young adults with special needs transition into employment, so they teach them cooking and baking skills, and customer service roles. 3 years later, it became fully self funding, because the food was just so good. They started running educational classes, taught by the cooks and bakers themselves-the people with "special needs" teaching others. I went to a couple-you pay £5, they provide all the ingredients, and you get to take your sausage rolls, pies, scones and buns home. It's a fun evening, practical and useful. It's absolutely not a pity project, it's employing young people and equipping them with skills, and they do as well as any other person would. Everyone has potential, they just need a chance to develop it.

After my grandfather passed my aunt, who has down syndrome, took over the house and did everything for my grandmother. She was born in the 1950's and all the doctors recommended she be institutionalized. According to my gramps my sweet, quiet grandmother fought tooth and nail with these doctors and yelled loud enough to scare him. I believe my aunt was the balance in our family that kept everybody in check.

This is one of the best! I hope she sends all those companies that wouldn't hire her a box of cookies and her thanks to them for refusing to see beyond her disability to her intelligence!

Good for her!

I love this so much. I literally just teared up a bit.

I'm impressed that a 14-year old built that in the first place. It looks to be very well made.

Love this so much! That's some nice work for a 14-year-old!
