Oh my goodness, congratulations Atoosa!! That's so exciting; I'm happy for you. It definitely has been a while; I've missed you. But I'm glad things are going so well. I'm sure your daughter will grow up to be an awesome alpha kitty just like her mommy:)
Thanks for the advice; I'm glad you told us how this can relate to your lives as well as yours. It really is important that we know/understand this concept and put it into action. You really are an amazing woman. Keep it up^_^

Dear Atoosa,

I really enjoyed reading cosmoGIRL! when I was in high school I actually loved it...It helped me SO much in many different ways that I cannot imagine...Growing up as a kid I didn't have that many role models to begin with and I remember the very first issue that I bougth Sophia Bush was on the cover and it was in december 2004-2005 I can't remember and I just had to subscribe to something more than just reading about trends and makeup...it helped me grow as a teen and I really greatly appreciate that with my whole heart! It means so much to me that I had something that I could read and lean on when I needed the support with the great articles that helped me grow!

Thanks SO much

-Monica

Congrats to you and ari on your new baby! Thanks for the encouraging words too!

Melanie

one wonders what magazine they will send subscribers in place of COSMOGIRL ....

Congrats! Thanks for the reminder that hard work pays off! Sometimes we all need to be reminded of that. Have fun enjoying your time with Angelika and Ari!

Congrats! I agree with you that it's possible to have it all. Thanks for the reminder that hard work pays off eventually. Sometimes we all need to be reminded of that! Have fun enjoying Angelika and your time with Ari!

Awww - that IS sad about CosmoGIRL! I remember when it first came out - and I definitely felt that it spoke to me. It was amazing.

Congrats on Baby Angelika! So happy for you!

Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! Just like many others I want to thank you for creating Cosmogirl; i've been reading it since the 1st issue that had mellisa joan heart on the cover. It was my favorite for a super long time *ok when you were editor* and i'm now 21. Though I don't read it anymore I knew it would continue to help girls and i'm sad that its being discontinued =( I again want to thank you for not giving up on yourself and with that helping so many girls in return.

Basically if you are in college shouldn't you be focused on whats important like getting an education? I know that I am a full time college student and I work full time and if I had time to go to some stupid website and post about someone else at school, I would rather use that time to do something productive. This just goes to show how immature many people are STILL at the college age. I would expect this from highschool or middleschool students, but college? That just gives all college students a bad rap. This does show that people who think they are cool really are insecure and that they can't say something to someones face. It is sad that this world has came to the point where college students are so petty that the have an entire website devoted to this dispicable "pastime."

Honestly these types of sites are ethically wrong, but on an entertainment level, they are intriguing...

In my opinion its easier to sit behind a computer and anonymously list out things that can be potentially destructive, about someone...
I've heard of people killing themselves or wanting to kill themselves, merely over myspace, (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21844203/) so i can only imagine the potential this site has to destroy a person...
i also believe in situations like this we have to remember the golden rule..."do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."
despite whether someone has some of these things that are being said "coming to them" is irrelevant...because no one should have the power to make that assumption.

juicy campus sucks.
incase the creators didnt realize...THEY ARE IN COLLEGE NOW...not high school.
i lucked out...my campus isnt on there...yet...but it probably will be in time.
its stupid.
and juvenile.
and quite ridiculous.

i'd never heard of juicy campus before i saw this blog about it, and so i just checked it out, my campus wasnt on it and i was really disappointed.

yah, there was alot of bullshit, and alot of cruel gossip that probably ruined some lives... but hey, they probably had it coming!

like so and so's a hoe, s0nds0 was sleeping with this hoe while he was going out with the other one and this persons gay.(not that being gay is something to be made fun of, but in the posting i read, this kid hooked up with sumone and then ignored him, so the kid outed him-he def had it coming!) but the people that are being talked about, made their own decision to be a whatever they are thats causing other people to talk about them-so deal with it!

people would be gossiping anyway. i dont see how this causes anymore damage, people have been humiliated by other people pointing out their flaws, forever.

MAJOR POINT- its not always gossip. there were alot of blogs about things that people want to discuss, but its an awkward topic or something, something people wouldnt answer truthfully if their identity was known and they would have to face judgment for it. for example i saw 'butt sex?' lmao! and 'women with curves?' there are alot of topics like this! also, the posting that i mentioned above about a guy hooking up with another girl while he was dating someone, im sure shes thankful to juicy campus!
it can be used for good! like say u always see sum person around and wana give them a compliment but, for some reason it would be weird in person. it could be used to help someone out in alota ways, 's0nds0, i saw your friend talking shit about u' 's0nds0-you really need a haircut/try wearing makeup' ' s0nds0 i thot u were really lame til i saw you doing...w.e' there are alot of things you want to say to people, but its just not appropriate and the consequences are unfavorable ADMIT IT!

all youuusss that arent seeing the goodness in this, maybe your just more inclined to talk shit yourself nd thats what you expect from other ppl, maybe you just dont wana see your name up there for your closet skeletons.

i enjoyed being entertained by outrageous stories about ppl i dont know. i loves it. i hope it starts at hofstra!

Gossip might have a lot of appeal, but it carries the opportunity for the most damage. Im not perfect and there are times that its fun to listen to because it has this sort of immediate excitement, but all in all its just rude, I say we keep our manners. Thumbs down for me.

Yuck, Atoosa. That page is so lame. The only problem is, you are SO popular on MySpace that your chatting about this site might actually draw more attention to it than you want. My fear is that people will read about it then go use it for their own vindictive reasons. This JuicyCampus site is just a wannabe 'Gossip Girl". I love ya, Atoosa!! -Mel

I agree with you, as a college student I feel that if you have an issue with someone or you have something to say about them you should be adult enough to say it to them and deal with it. This site is just a lame reason to make others look bad while making yourself feel better.

I can't believe they actually made a site where people can anonymously bully each other. Don't we have enough bullying already?

I think it's ridiculous!

I have to say the same...Say it to their face!!!
