Straight into an extremely graphic scene, I"m not mentally present whilst reading it but it's intense, and every single thing you could compile into a horror scene- trust me. It's here. Which is kinda what andrew is known for with his literature, but this is nightmare fuel that will leave me with nightmare ofr years

Reading for the achievement: Trending Books.

Andrew Joseph White has a talent for writing gothic horror books. I'm scared to read this one personally as this touches a lot of sensitive topics for me, but sometimes, what we fear is our greatest therapy. If it gets too much. I will not finish.

White men should not write the n word in their books. No further comment. A man of his age and education should definitely know better. Especially for the time this book was wrote in. Especially knowing history. No further notes.

"produced powerful sperm" here ladies and gentlemen, we have tate before tate.

switched to audiobook, and no idea how many pages in, but this is some of the most misogynistic bs I've ever heard. I have to finish it for this reading challenge, but I'm disappointed in Stephen King. Tramp stamp, knock out body? Hello? How misogynistic and disgusting can you get?

mothers groups usually are full of horrible condescending adults. I wish this on no one;;;;;

well this is insanely detailed and clarifies meanings with texts and diagrams. I'm reading the 7th edition.

'One person may be exhausted by four hours of intellectual effort, whereas another is less fatigued by eight; and further, the daily occupations vary greatly in the demand that they make on attention and on such qualities as reason, judgment, and power of initiation. " by raising people on ai, we are unfortunately seeing a rise in brainrot, and many people never gain the ability to think clearly or for themselves.

"One person may be exhausted by four hours of intellectual effort, whereas another is less fatigued by eight; and further, the daily occupations vary greatly in the demand that they make on attention and on such qualities as reason, judgment, and power of initiation. "

"For any adolescent, or indeed for any of us to attempt to work hard for twelve or fourteen hours out of the twenty-four is to store up trouble." someone inform business owners how unnatural this is .

"The girls of the richer classes have not the same difficulties as their poorer sisters. They generally remain at school until a much later age, and subsequently have the joy and stimulus of college life, of foreign travel, of social engagements, or of philanthropic enterprise. " we finally talking about how social classes impact mindset.

"working-class households the few weekly shillings brought into the family store by the elder children are of very real importance, and although the raising of the age of possible employment and independence would enable the next generation to work better and to earn higher and more continuous wages" I feel like todays generation has a mix of people who understand the value of work, and those who don't.

a chapter about the importance of hobbies to slowly take sex off the mind. I think andrew tates fans might choke on that.

"The brain of the girl appears to be as good as that of the boy, while her application, industry, and emulation are far in advance of his,"

"t is quite surprising to learn what a very large percentage of young soldiers are refused enlistment in the army on account of decayed or defective teeth, and anyone who has examined the young women candidates for the Civil Service and for Missionary Societies must have recognised that their teeth are in no way better than those of the young men."

"but a careful examination into the state of health of children of school age shows us that it is a time in which disorders of health abound, and that although these disorders are not necessarily, nor even generally, fatal, they are frequent, they spoil the child's health, and inevitably bear fruit in the shape of an injurious effect on health in after life." equally apply to young boys too. and other genders.

chapter 2: sports is essential but not too much

"Great harm is done by allowing children to take work home with them from school; if possible, the day's work should finish with school hours, and the scanty leisure should be spent in healthy exercise or in sleep." the fact a book was released discussing that children shouldn't have homework is of interest itself

"f it were possible for adults to really remember their own feelings and aspirations in adolescent years, or if it were possible for us with enlightened sympathy to gain access to the enchanted garden of youth, we should be more adequate guides for the boys and girls around us"

yeah I'm hearing misogyny now. Girls are only more beautiful when their chest grows??? Am I angry or annoyed or do I equally hate my growth ??

chapter 1: I'm learning already that I'm not fat. Theres a few changes from a child turning into a woman, they don't teach in schools. My body changed structure as I entered adulthood. Wild.

"The intelligent parent would not use a whip to teach a child not to beat a dog. "

"Society, as now organized, rests upon violence and wrong."
