Why is Hollywood obsessed with high school children?

Once upon a time, I tried watching Riverdale, and failed. It started so-so, then went and become weird, and quality went way down. I tried watching Euphoria and it was a torture from beginning to the end. I am fully aware I don't like to watch anything that is about high school and teenagers and children. As soon as I see the words "teenagers" or "high school" in movie or series description, I totally lose interest in it. I am fully grown up person, middle aged woman and nothing about schools or teenagers or children isn't in any way relatable or interesting to me anymore. To me, those are just children and I can't relate to them anymore, I don't find them attractive or particularly interesting, which is, I guess, normal for an adult. While I like horror genre, which also likes to "use" teenagers as characters, I am not fond of that part of genre either. I am much more comfortable watching horror or any other genre with full grown adults. W...

My novel is online with new COVERS!!!!

Mima and life on planet Inferno My novel "Mima and life on planet Inferno" is online in paperback and kindle version with new covers, made by professional artist Mladen Oljaca (listed as illustrator on page).

It's sf novel about two different worlds and tough choice for protagonist Mima, a high-school teacher living her not-so-best-life, of where to chose to live: safe, comfortable but a bit boring and too sheltered world on her home planet, or crazy, interesting world full of action but also dangerous, dirty, uncomfortable and violent world on another planet. What will she choose? Check it out on Amazon, paperback and Kindle version available! https://www.amazon.com/Mima-Planet-Inferno-Biljana-Malesevic-ebook/dp/B09PLQHQKB/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Liberal or conservative

 It seems a lot of people online (probably IRL too) are dividing into two groups: leftist and conservatives. It's all usually so that one side presents the other as extreme. I doubt that is really the case. Sure, there are always extremist out there, on both sides, but I surely hope they are not in majority. What I personally think is that the middle, as always is the best way to go. Not too far left, not too far right. I watched a lot of very liberal videos on youtube, and a lot of conservative right wing videos too, mainly from people who are objectively intelligent and have reasonable arguments. But... but still it's a bit too much on both sides. I feel the biggest issue with both sides is that that hate and mock each other. There is no tolerance on other people's preferences and no understanding on human diversity and differences. You can't make a mold for all people to fit in. That's just horribly controlling and even fascist. Problem with extreme conservatives...

All that is wrong with this world

We have National Park in Serbia, Fruska Gora. It was beautiful once, it had it's own fauna, lots of animals, trees, grass, so many plants, so much green! Sure, it had few restaurants, cabins, even hotels, but mainly in spirit with the surroundings, it blended it well. There was still lots of trees, lots of animals and nature. Yes, around May 1st, there were a lot of people camping there leaving loads of trash and sometimes, even small fires. Because, that's what humans do. Destroy. Still, it looked all pretty good, compared to now. Then came a company, rich company from another regional country, because of course they don't give a shit for out country and our nature. Why would they when our own town major and his companions would literally do ANYTHING for money. If they had chance, for not that a lot money, I bet they would cause ecological disaster which would likely kill half citizens of town and they wouldn't even bat an eye or take any accountability. Because they d...

Ending it all

 Now are the times when it's "inconvenient" to mention the word "suicide" because "it might give people ideas", but honestly, some people just never get to think about ending it all, while others do not need any reminders. I don't really get that forbidden word. Once I joined online group for people with depression and it was forbidden to write anything triggering, and not just the S word, I mean anything. It was bloody stupid. People were lashing out, writing about their own personal traumas, being left, being widowed, being alone, feeling ugly and it was overwhelming, but no one was allowed to mention suicide, or medications or anything that could "trigger" someone. I left the stupid group. I mean, reading other people's sad stories is much more triggering, especially when you realize how no one, even you, fucking no one, cares. Because, we have out own burden of sadness to carry, why the hell we would want someone else's too? I...
