A description of an unusual, socially nonconforming girl stemming from Jerry Spinelli's book "Stargirl." Girls with Stargirlitis can exhibit any number of eccentric traits such as a love of comic books, a multitude of piercings or tattoos, unusual clothing (but generally not goth-type clothing) or carrying around small pet rodents. Unlike stereotypes of emo or goth people, girls with Stargirlitis are mostly happy. Almost all girls with Stargirlitis are right-brained and artistic.
Jerry: That girl has purple hair and sleeps with a blankie. I bet she has Stargirlitis.
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
