We skinny-dipped at Woodstock and hot-tubbed with our friends, but most of us grew up with some notion of modesty. Think back … to times when you (or others) “let it all hang out.” Did you feel self-conscious? anxious? liberated? aroused? Have you been to nude beaches or pools, or nudist camps or resorts? Have you ever sexted? What did you teach your kids about nudity? Share your nudity stories forward.
Diets
Remember when summer was “bikini season” and everyone seemed to be on a diet? Think back … to Slimfast and Metrecal, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, Atkins and Paleo. Did you diet? Why? Were you successful? How did you feel about dieting? Did you take dangerous diet meds like amphetamines or fen-phen? Did you ever develop an eating disorder or know others who did? How do you eat now? Share your diet stories forward.
Teachers & Mentors
In graduation season, we think of teachers. Think back … to a significant teacher or mentor who helped shape your life. What did you learn from them? What do you remember about them? What made them special? Did they take a particular interest in you? How is your life different because of them? Share your teacher stories forward.
Student Activism
Kids today live in an anxious world of STEM, texting, hookups, active shooter drills, and marching against guns. But think back … to our world of new math, passing notes, making out, duck and cover drills, and marching against war. Were your school days as carefree as we imagine? What issues were you passionate about? What did you worry about? How do you feel about students today? Share your student activism stories forward.
