Obviously I’ve never been through NPC recruitment but…

It’s so weird to me that people think it’s a good idea to just broadcast their innermost thoughts- many of which will be negative- to the entire world at large.

When I first joined this site, I loved reading the live recruitment stories. There is so much emphasis on discretion- DO NOT be that PNM that even announces, “I have red hair and I’m wearing a blue dress today!” For that exact reason- that the words of a young, inexperienced woman who is disappointed or angry could possibly live indefinitely in cyberspace. (Also for safety purposes…but no one seems to consider that anymore for some reason!)

It’s exploitative that these girls are barely 18, and there are producers chomping at the bit to expose their emotions for views. And any mom that would agree to participate in this is just insane. An 18 year old who was in HS a few months ago, I get it- but the adults with fully formed brains should be advocating against this sort of thing.
