Monday, November 22nd.
Only a few days away from Thanksgiving and a trip to Virginia.
Mondays are just great aren't they? The end of the weekend. The start of a new week. A sort of clean slate.
Well not really. The world still knows what you've done yesterday and the day before. In fact it knows what you've done for the past three months. Especially when you're in high school. What you do, is never fully erased. It's almost like posting stuff on the internet. You can delete it, but it's really still there. It's just hiding somewhere else.
But I'm not talking about being careful what you do on the internet. Do whatever the hell you want. It's your life. Just don't get drunk on a saturday night like my underage friend.
I seriously want to slap her. When we were in middle school, she always said she'd never do drugs or drink because she thought it was so gross. Then she started hanging out with this chick in my period 4 class.
This girl she hangs out with, is kind of a stereotypical spoiled brat that you would see on MTV's, "My super sweet 16." She talks in that "Oh my gawd!" voice, carries around a designer purse and wears designer sweats. Also she basically fails every class she's in.
I'd like to know what's so great about designer crap for one; and two, what the hell has she done to my friend? She got her drunk last weekend and got her into smoking. Clearly my "friend" is desperate to be "cool" or whatever that kind of bullshit is. Drinking and smoking don't make you cool, they make you a complete idiot. What the hell is wrong with people?! They start teaching us at a young age that these certain things are bad for you. Don't touch them if you want to live a happy and healthy life. The teachers CONTINUE to drill this into our heads constantly up until we graduate high school. By then we're 18 and allowed to make are own damn mistakes cause it's basically legal even though some of us are not really adults in our minds. Wait another 3 years and you can drink alcohol without having to sneak it out of the fridge or cupboard. WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS?!?!
I know, I know. Kids are kids and they're going to experiment. But does it really have to be while you're trying to get into a good college so you can really do something with your life? Is it really that hard to wait till you're an ADULT to make ADULT decisions?
It's not just booze and cigarettes, but sex too. All these teens getting pregnant cause they see it on tv and think "Oh hey it's okay. I'll just be like that girl on 16 and pregnant, the sweet life of the American teenager or teen mom. I'll be just fine." NO YOU WON'T DUMB-ASS! Yet again an example of teens making really insane and stupid choices.
Apparently way back when, if you had sex before you were married it was very much frowned upon.. I think even in some societies you could get arrested (I'm not sure about that one to be honest.) Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you absolutely have to wait til marriage because some people NEVER get married and that's perfectly fine. I'm just saying don't do it in middle or high school. Yes shocker, kids are having sex in middle school. (If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic.) When I was in SEVENTH GRADE some kids started having sex. Disgusting right?
You might think I'm prude, uptight or whatever but I just don't want to screw up my life when I'm trying to make something of myself. I get the whole "having fun while you can" thing. But are drugs, booze and sex really needed to accomplish that? Are they really that necessary? What ever happened to watching a funny t.v show, doing something fun with your parents/ sibling or having a sleep over with your best friend? Aren't those enough anymore? Are those things just "soo boring" or "sooo uncool and lame" that we have to turn to this shit which does nothing but gives us lung cancer, get us pregnant, give us liver problems or even worse kill us? Is it really truly worth it? Just cause "We're all gonna die some day," does that mean we have to do things that hurt us?
Teenagers want to be considered young adults but they can't and never will be. Why? Because they're just a bunch of stupid kids on another bloody fucking Monday, that don't care about anyone or anything. They only care about is themselves and the "rush."
