I watched “Juliet & Romeo” in an empty theater on opening night, which felt fitting. It’s easy to pan writer and director Timothy Scott Bogart’s horrendous pop musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy. What’s harder to do is figure out why it was made in the first place. Who did they think would be sitting in all those empty seats around me? With a rating of PG-13, the intended audience is ambiguous.

In elementary and early middle school, Marsophia Ducheine’s mom wasn’t very present. Her dad, grandmother and aunts were a part of the village that stepped in to support her. While they taught her how to take care of family, it was Clair Huxtable who showed Ducheine that she could grow up to have a demanding career and be a present parent.

I can neither remember how old I was the first time I read Forever nor how many times I've reread it since. What I can recall about reading Judy Blume's seminal 1975 novel for the first time is that - even as a millennial girl growing up in the early aughts - it made me feel less alone with my questions and desires. In the novel, Katherine details falling in love for the first time with her boyfriend, Michael. Katherine spares no detail.

Happy Mother’s Day to those maternal characters onscreen who help make us who we are either alongside or in the absence of our own moms. And thanks to everyone who shared their stories for this piece! https://t.co/3sQgUha248
Teens today are less likely to be in a relationship or have sex. They need characters like Katherine and her modern mirror, Keisha . Here's what I think about Netflix's adaptation of Judy Blume's classic novel. https://t.co/Lk6jxFImSB
