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!

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

Little Miss Sunshine | 100 Movies Bucket List

  The next bucket list pick was a much-anticipated re-watch! I left this one for the bottom half of the list, like a good few others, so I could have something to look forward to towards the end. This is such a lovely film! I was actually really surprised to see it on the bucket list. I knew it was very well-liked by both critics and fans, but I had no idea it had been nominated for (and won) Oscars, so that was a nice surprise. The comedy genre is really sparse on the list, and while this is also a drama, it's so nice to have something light-hearted here - especially because light-hearted films like this can often provoke a bigger emotional reaction than intense dramas. For me, as good as the direction and writing of the film is, the best thing about it is the characters and the actors who play them. This family feels like a real family from their first moment on screen. The characters are all written really authentically, they compliment each other and the actors had great chemis

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind
