MYC Uncensored

How do I tell my boyfriend I am not interested?

On this episode on MYC Uncensored we answer the question "How do I tell my boyfriend I am not interested?". As usual, another interesting topic! There were different ways we viewed this question, one way was viewing it in a way where the young girl was not interested in continuing the relationship because of whatever reason or another, maybe the young girl didn't want to engage in any sexual activity. We spoke about many ways this question could be interpreted and hopefully helped answer it! What would you do in this situation? We'd love to hear your thoughts, opinions and experiences. Be sure to tune in!

Being rejected by a guy you like

On this episode on MYC Uncensored we discuss rejection and how to overcome it. Rejection sucks. Whether it is applying for a job, not being accepted to your desired school or what we speak about today, rejection from a guy.

We focus on ourselves and see where life takes us. Have you been through this experience? How did you handle it? Did you reject someone? We'd love to hear your experiences!

Dealing with not fitting in

On this episode on MYC Uncensored we talk about how to deal with not fitting in. Sometimes we may feel like we are being judged or criticised by our peers because of the music that we listen to, clothing we wear, how we do our makeup and many other things but that should not stop us from being who we are or who we want to be. Have you ever felt like you don't fit in? Did you change yourself in order to fit in with others? We'd love to know your experiences.

Gender expectations: being a female in society

On this episode on MYC Uncensored we talk all about gender expectations and the standards and "requirements" of a female that has been deemed as what is acceptable in society for females. Expectations differ between cultures, religions, traditions, where you grew up and many other factors and depending on the individual, they may try and fit into what is expected or portray the opposite. What expectations were put on your growing up? Has your view changed now? Do your views match those of society? We would love to hear your experiences and input.
