Hearing "I hate you" from your own child can feel very deflating and upsetting. If this has happened to you, take heart. Even though your child said it, it doesn't mean they really hate you. Instead, it often signals that they're mad, sad, embarrassed, confused, or upset in some other way. They just don't know how else to talk about those big feelings.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on August 8, 2022. It has since been updated. There's a shortage of teachers across America, reflecting the low pay for teachers and inadequate investment in education. One teacher shared a video clip of her kindergarten class and how poorly it was furnished. The teacher, who goes by @progressivemama on TikTok, said the lack of investment in school was forcing teachers like her to spend their own money to help provide basic requirements in a classroom, such as books, shelves, and classroom staples, among other things. The video showed her panning the camera across the classroom, revealing empty shelves with no books and no proper chairs for kids to use. The video soon garnered more than 388,000 views and 35,600 likes.

In Indianapolis, Indiana, Sylvia Marie Likens — a young 16-year-old girl — died a brutal death on October 26, 1965, after experiencing weeks of torture and abuse. When the police found her malnourished body at the Baniszewski house, it was bearing numerous injuries from burns to cuts and bruises. Worst of all, the words, “I’m a prostitute and proud of it,” were carved on her abdomen like a brand. The young girl had been living as a boarder under Gertrude Baniszewski’s care, a single mother of seven, who convinced the parents of the Likens that she’d look after their two girls — Sylvia and Jenny — in her care for $20 a week while they traveled for work.

The Baniszewski Kids: What Happened to Them?

Learning a new skill takes practice. For instance, if you want to teach a child how to ride a bike, they will need a bike to practice on. The same is true of money skills. If you want your child to learn how to save money and spend it wisely, giving them an allowance will help them practice.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
