I hate it. I hate consumerism and I hate body image and I hate politicians and I hate the media and I just hate it all, but right now what I hate most is that after FIFTEEN YEARS of regularly volunteering at elementary schools, (Since I was fourteen!) today when I went to volunteer at the one I now live next door to, I was not greeted with joy, nor gratitude nor welcome. I was greeted with a three page application more thorough than some I've had for jobs, and a FREAKING CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK!

And I HATE that it's gotten that bad, that somebody can't even be allowed to be in a supervised position in the presence of children without paranoia.

Heck, the school I grew up going to was so far out in the country that we didn't ever have volunteers for anything, let alone security measures and forms to fill out for it...

Then again, everyone knew everyone else, and who to politely dissuade. Plus, seeing as most of the parents in the county had a 'shotgun policy' when it comes to their kids... It wasn't needed.

Still, kinda sad it's come to that.
