The Sleepover Club: Why Are We All Still So Ashamed?

Despite living in the girlboss era, in which every choice we make is supposedly empowered, we all still feel so much shame. From class and body image to hangxiety and post-shopping spree shame; we're dissecting all the things that make us feel like awful human beings.
