Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Umm, your hair is dead and not attached to your skull.
Which means you shouldn't shave your legs or armpits until you have finished puberty using that logic.
Never heard of it and it sounds far fetched. It sounds like someone mother doesn't want ehr hair permed.
In the african american
In the african american community it is very common for young girls to get perms at that age or even a few years younger, because the hair is thick and course...a (relaxer/perm) makes the hair straight and very manageable....
Thanks for the input, guys.
Thanks for the input, guys. The thing that I find HILARIOUS is the "underdeveloped head bone" theory! If SD's skull is "underdeveloped until she hits puberty" perhaps she needs to be wearing a helmet!!!
I've never heard that one.
I've never heard that one. Most people I know start perming their girl's hair by about 3 grade. The perm isn't used to curl the hair, it relaxes it. A perm takes away the phobia many of us have about getting out hair wet. LOL
