Welcome to Common Misconceptions (CM)!

This is a show where I will interview people of various backgrounds, religions, and beliefs (regardless of if we do or do not agree), and we'll debunk common misconceptions about them. This isn't for debating, it's simply a show about straightening out misunderstandings (or misconceptions, as the case may be).

Do you have a specific belief you'd like WTY to cover? Let me know the comments of this page, or in the comments of any of the CM posts.

I hope you enjoy debunking these common misconceptions with me and the guests! If you've got any questions, comments, or thoughts, as always you're welcome (and encouraged!) to give them in the comment section, here as well as on the individual posts when they come out.

Below I will post the archive for each episode as it comes out, dated and titled accordingly.

Why I Stopped Going to Youth Group (and Why I Started WTY)

Welcome back to WTY! I mention the basics of why I started WTY in my Qs&As tab, but what I didn't go into was why I'm so passionate about this. And youth group has a very big part in that. For my non-Christian readers, you may be wondering "what's a youth group"? A youth group is basically all of the youth of a church (ages vary, but mine is 13-18 year olds) gathering on a day (mine is Sundays) and playing and hanging out at the church with a lesson from the youth pastor (a pastor who specializes in corralling teenagers, basically). The first part of this post is why I stopped going. The next half will be how it relates to WTY. The youth pastor was always changing My church went through three youth pastors throughout my time at youth group. Each time you got to know one, began to trust them, began to feel comfortable enough to be honest and open up like you're supposed to be able to do, they would leave and you'd have to restart the process. It was...

Things That I Wish I Was Taught (Or At Least Taught Sooner) ~ Guest Post by Lavender Bleu!

Hey there! She's back! Returning for her second time to WTY, Lavender Bleu now brings us a post about things she wishes she was taught (or at least, taught sooner). I think that a lot of teens have a list of things they wish they were taught, or they will. Maybe Lavender Bleu's post will teach you about a few things before you reach a point where you think "man, I wish I'd known that sooner" later on in life. Her blog is Always Write The Good Write , so once you're done here, pay her a visit! As always, you're encouraged to comment your thoughts, experiences, and questions here (maybe leave a comment about something you wish you had known sooner). Just remember to be respectful. :) - EJ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hi, it’s Lavender Bleu again, remember me? Yes? No? Well, I’m one of the guest posters on WTY, a blogger (obviously), and a lover of cats. Anyway, I’m here to share another guest post on WTY, this time about things that I wish my parents (or ...

"Cuties": Netflix's Pedophiliac Lust

**This post contains several sexual references and terms. Sensitive and younger youth should exercise caution when reading.** Hey youth, If you've not heard of the Netflix original called "Cuties", I envy you, as well as apologize for being the one to introducing it to you. Before you continue reading, let's read the definition of pedophilia: "Pedophilia: An obsession with children as sex objects. Overt acts, including taking sexual explicit photographs, molesting children, and exposing one's genitalia to children are all crimes." - Legal Dictionary "Pedophilia: An abnormal obsession with children as sex objects. A person who acts upon this obsession, by molesting a child, taking explicit photographs, and performing other acts specified by law, is guilty of the crime." - Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary Now, keep that in mind, and read on. The movie description for it on Netflix is this: "Eleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel agai...
