Girl Talk: First Kisses

Have you had your first kiss?




I know that many girls between the age of 13 and 18 worry about their first kisses. The biggest worry? That they haven't had it yet.


It's normal to worry about not having your first kiss, most girls do. We want to have the best story to tell our friends, we want our first kiss to be with the greatest guy, the guy that will make all of our friends extremely jealous and wish that their story was a good as ours. But if this is the case, why are we so worried about it as such a young age? Why do we think that we're going to meet the perfect guy before we even reach adulthood? Our first kiss is something that we are going to remember forever. A story that we'll tell over and over again, well into elderly life. So why are we rushing to just get it done, when it could be the first romantic moment that we ever have?


According to statistics, in the UK, 14 is the average age that a girl will have her first kiss, and 15 for a boy. This means that people in secondary schools are becoming anxious about the thought of having their first kiss with a guy that they know, and this could result in peer pressure. Girls especially may feel that, if all their friends have had a kiss, they're falling behind and may never get a boyfriend. I don't understand why having your first kiss early takes precedence over having a special first kiss.


How to make your first kiss special:

- Be friends first: This is something that I think is really important. Don't kiss a guy just because you feel like you should. If you like a guy, talk to him. Try to find out what his interests are and be his friend. This way you can find out if he's the person that you really want to kiss.

-Don't rush: Who cares if all your friends have had their first kisses? You don't have to prove anything to anyone. Kiss someone who you like, when you're sure that you're ready.

-Make the story fun: Most people have an embarrassing first kiss. Whether it's a nose bump or a tongue situation, you have the ability to make the story funny. As I said before, you'll be telling this story for years to come, so make the best of a bad situation

-The later the better: Who ever has the most romantic and special first kiss story at the age of 14? The older you are, the better you'll remember your kiss and the more special it will be.

I hope this post has given you some useful information, or at least made you reminisce about your first kisses.

    I'm 17 and never been kissed. Actually, I've never even been asked out... it makes me sad sometimes but then I remember that I still have all that exciting stuff to come! I'm ready, but I'm also willing to wait until its right. So anyone at 14/15 has nothing to worry about! xxx

      It's great that you haven't had it yet. As you said, there's so many exciting things to come! That's much better than rushing through it!

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
