Victim Blaming in Pretty Little Liars (SPOILERS)
I've been re-watching the show, and something has been bugging me non-stop regarding the relationships between the girls and their parents. In the second episode, we see Melissa's 23-year-old fiance flirt with and ultimately kiss the 16-year-old Spencer. When Melissa sees this and dumps him, Spencer is treated horribly by her family. Despite her protests that it wasn't consensual, her parents take Melissa's side. It leaves a sour taste in the mouth of any viewer who notices this trend. A similar thing happens when it is revealed that Ian, 22, carried on a relationship with Spencer when she was 15. She hides this fact, but the police find out and question her. Her own parents blame her too. I'm personally bothered by the fact that the police didn't question Ian, nor did they arrest him. He may have said that it wasn't sexual, but they would have had no reason to believe him.

I'm Only a Man
I traveled around the world searching for purpose, tears in my eyes every day I'm away. Looking for purpose, adventure, suspense. The home away from home. I wear scars like tattoos, clothes covered in oil stains. I come home to see what I left behind and the road just keeps calling my name. I want to settle down and start a family but the road is the only home for me. I lay down an gaze up at the stars in the night sky; wind at an almost still and quiet breeze. only the crickets song and distant birds chirping can be heard. My mind is lost in the clouds many have said that I need to be still and good things will eventually happen but I say no I will hunt for those good things, if I get hurt or screw up I just learn from it and continue on my journey into the place called life. There will be blood and bumps that will hurt but go away after time. My heart longing for adventure, stress, and dirt. The life on the road is the life for me. I am not a mere boy but a Man that seeks adventure, and excitement. I want a life that has no strings attached no stress of a loved one. adventure is the only way I can get away from people; that can hurt me, lie to me, cheat and steal from me. I walk the road to be free and want to be free, I stay put and am never happy. Been in pain my heart has been in the hands of someone else and been hurt by just trusting and loving them.
