So, we're creating a magazine, based on a subject, which we are gonna market using various social media. This is an asignment form school, and they'll provide us with the contacts needed etc.

We needed a subject. So some group came up with: Social Secrets Sounds allright, sounds interesting, yet the group that gave birth to the subject failed to define it.

Here's where y'all come in,

What do you think off, when you hear the term: "Social secrets".

Serious reply's only, i'd like your input.

I think of people having issues they can't share with other people or are too nasty to share. Like a brother digging his sister.

Juicy stuff that you can't really talk about unless it's anonymous springs to mind when I hear that term.

Thanks Woutr

and BUMP.

Reminds me of something I'd see in a female magazine (not that I read those ofc) that tells you how to 'fit in'. Like the secrets of how to have a social life.

ie What to wear, where to go out, etc.

makes me think of taboo things and incest in teh basement

It makes me think of http://grouphug.us/

WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!


We wear the mask , by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

It's a contrast between appearance and reality of social situations. That's what I think of atleast. Hope I helped.

Pretty much what Azil said, ways to blend in society, and be a part of it.

sounds gossipy...if there was so with that name i wouldn't watch it, it would remind me of TMZ

first thing that came to my mind is secrets between people? not actual secrets but...i guess communication? or stuff that goes unnoticed in society? iono <.<...although i will say if i saw it sitting on a rack and the cover was interesting...id go thru it

If anything when i read it i think of secrets that we all share as a whole, common things people will in their lives. Sexuality, going behind someone's back, liking someone else's partner, cheating on someone, taken an illegal substance blah blah. The magazine could relate to them and ways to solve them. Now that i think about it, it reminds me a lot of dolly doctor and how that worked.

Also your in school? I always thought you were pretty old..

Graduating this year, i'm not that old. Bout the same age as Cin I believe, tho he's a little maniac.

Thanks for all your reply's so far!
