Sassy is not messing around with the Teen Life topics this month. You're getting the straight dope on PMS. You're getting a BRUTALLY detailed story about a girl who dropped out of high school to become a stripper -- either encouraged or forced to do so by her mother. Sassy editors poll 200 mothers and daughters on what they know about each other, and what they don't. Catherine gets into the weeds with her advice on how to kiss. Even the short story twists, turns, and...Tums? You're going to learn a lot, so strap in for our latest podcast, if you dare!
