The yellow-spotted lizards are a bit harder to take seriously now that Iâm An Adult and know that theyâre just bearded dragons with paint on them
cutie pies tho
Im gonna be honest i get so immersed in the movie every time I watched I never thought to question this OPâŚ. Iâve gone years of my life just rolling with the assumptions they actually put these teens in a pit of poison lizards
I did not answer. They could have killed me, I thought at that time – there was no one I could fully trust, not even the people I yet trusted.Â
But then I looked in the mirror, looked at my eyes, and watched the storm unfurl quietly, along with the ghosts of the people who were now memories, along with the fastening death of my innocence, along with the disappearance of my emotions, along with the darkness in my head.Â
At that time, I did not know it was darkness. I thought it was, simply, what was bound to happen after all this time spent being taught the worst of the world. We were all born to die, I had learnt. Some more quickly than others. Lives were nothing. Nothing mattered.
I had a storm in my eyes, all dark sky and black clouds and hammering rain, but it lacked the wind and the thunder.
That, I would get later.Â
And when I would, I would also understand that this someone, who had told me I had a storm in my eyes, had seen too little.
Hurriyet Daily News reports that Albayrak had been hired to photograph the July 5th wedding at Turgut Ăzal Nature Park in the eastern Turkish province of Malatya. On the day of, when he noticed that the bride-to-be didnât look like an adult, he asked the groom her age and learned that she was only 15.
âThe groom had come to my studio some two weeks ago and was alone,â Albayrak tells the Daily News. âI saw the bride for the first time at the wedding. Sheâs a child, and I felt her fear because she was trembling.â
Albayrak then reportedly refused to continue as the wedding photographer and attempted to stop the wedding.
The argument soon turned physical when the groom attacked him as he was attempting to leave, Albayrak says. The photographer ended up breaking the clientâs nose in the fight, according to local reports.
Albayrak confirmed the reports in a Facebook post, which has been met with widespread approval, attracting thousands of Likes and hundreds of overwhelmingly positive comments.
âI wish this had never happened, but it did,â Albayrak writes. âAnd if you were to ask me if Iâd do the same thing again, Iâd say âyes.â Child brides are [victims] of child abuse and no power on earth can make me photograph a child in a wedding gown.â
The legal minimum age for marriage in Turkey is 18-years-old for both sexes, and child marriage is punishable by imprisonment for men who marry underage girls. Despite being outlawed, however, child marriage is still prevalent in the country and remains a controversial political issue.
btw – letâs remind ourselves, americans, that unlike turkey, in the US the legal minimum age for marriage is only 18 in two states. in alabama, you can be married as young as fourteen years old if you have âparental permissionâ. in california, you can get married under 18 if you go to counseling, have a parent with you when you apply for the marriage license, and appear before a judge. in some states, there isnât even a specific minimum age for marriage.
the minimum marriage age for girls in new hampshire is 13 years old.
child marriage is not an âover thereâ problem, it happens right here, legally. any one of us might find ourselves called upon to break somebodyâs nose if we encounter something like this occurring. we also have a responsibility to support groups and laws trying to end child marriage in this country.
felt like reblogging this because i was almost forced to marry when i was younger then 18. i donât remember the exact age, but i might have been fifteen. my older sister (not really my sister, but the daughter of my guardians) was married to a mexican man (not that that matters) except he had an illegal immigrant brother and she was upset that this brother would be deported. i guess there were threats? either way she told her mom (my legal guardian) and they immediately turned to me. it wasnât force, just guilt, thankfully. âdonât you love your family?â âheâll be sent away, maybe tortured. do you want that?â âyou are a rotten little shit and should go to hell!â âwe arenât asking you to fuck him! just get married and live with him and sleep in his bed for a while!â the only thing i had as ammo was that i had a boyfriend and didnât want to marry this guy. he was in his late twenties and scared me. I knew damn well if i married him he would use it as an excuse to rape me.
Luckily, even though the abuse i already went through got worse for a while, i stayed firm and didnât marry him. they couldnât force me because they knew i had a âbad habitâ of being a stubborn whore (thier terms). he was never deported and i think he only said he would be so he could try to get to me. found out the only reason my âsisterâ cared was because she was sleeping with him. all in all i am still mad about all of this. they would willingly try to pressure me into marrying a man almost twice my age and force me to share a bed with him and not care what happened after.
my point is, yeah, i got out of it where a lot of kids couldnât, but the days i even thought iâd be forced to marry him were the more horrifying moments of my teen years. this shit is scary as fuck and completely sick! i donât care if this fits in on my blog, this shit is legalized pedophilia and statutory/marital rape.
[rain pouring] [thunder rumbling] [car horn blaring] âgo on. wheyyyyyyy!! Oh no.â [in distance: âYOU IDIOTâ, uproarious laughter] âwhy would you go through that. what are you doing. ahhh no, heâs actually floating!â âwell of course he is. what a fucking bellend!â âwhat a knobhead!â âfucking hell.â
This should be shown whenever people say stuff like âBritish people are so polite,â âI love their accents,â or âsurely the miserable summer weather is just exaggerated to give people things to talk aboutâ.
