(11,065 posts)I have lots of scars particularly on my legs. None of them are from cutting but various accidents involving bad scrapes. Having been an outdoors type of person my whole life and enjoying scrabbling up and down craggy rock formations, running through woods with the dog, climbing trees, etc. shit happens.
And what exactly is a "front calf"? are you saying her shin? Crap, my shins are a mess of scars some 30 years old. If you got a look at my legs you'd think that no question I was "obviously" the most violent personally destructive cutter on earth.
I'm still trying to figure out why she's being called a porn "star". She isn't. She's just another two-bit internet part time porn actress of which there are thousands upon thousands. She's also ridiculously naive to think that telling someone would keep them from blabbing it all over and that those who knew would kiss her feet rather than ridicule her, but like so many others before her I believe that her telling was intended to get spread around. Is it right that she be ridiculed? No. And certainly not by those who watch porn, like it, and fawn over actual porn stars. She's got to be an idiot to imagine that anyone would find it to be even remotely glamorous and that she wouldn't be shamed and ridiculed.
She still hasn't figured that out with coming out publicly (and she still believed would be anonymously) wasn't going to prompt people to applaud her... she's still looking to be fawned over. Worse, once Duke finds out who she is they'll likely kick her out of school. And far worse than that, once she's done with school if she ever gets her degree she's marked herself and will have a very hard time either getting or keeping a "real" job. Employers just don't want to have ex-porn actors working for them.
She didn't go into this with any real thinking, and mostly that's probably due to the naivety of her age. We all do some pretty stupid stuff at that age we regret later once we gain some maturity, but this is going to be a issue that follows her the rest of her life and causes serious damage. Even what she's spending the money that she makes on shows her naivety. Sure, she's paying her tuition but dumping a load on expensive designer handbags when she should be banking that money for a Master's degree or to start a business or to invest, etc.
