BritChick Paris: Does Long Distance Friendship Work?
I have had some real friendship tests recently. In Paris you meet many expats who then go back home. Perhaps I am calling into my life these wandering minstrels to teach me to deal with change or I am attracted to foreign cultures. Either way it has been a learning curve.
Simon Blake: It's Time We Learned to Trust
This lack of trust in young people and their developing sexuality is perennial.

But what I found most difficult to comprehend is that she's just one of 50 grieving mums who lose a child in this way every single day across Bangladesh alone.
