prolly just me, but...

so like i understand that i was a weird kid too. I also understand that younger teenagers are allowing their imaginations to flourish and that I shouldn't stifle such things. But sometimes, stuff begins to weigh on me. And some comments or topics, or perhaps the total disregard for people and or beliefs pisses me off. 1

And i'm sure i had my share of annoyances and trials i put those older than me through. But I know for a fact that i wasn't blatantly disrespectful. Granted, I'm a few years away from drinking (but i can vote!) and i sound like a thirty five year old spinster, yet the young half of my generation have certainly lost some sense. Idk if it's parenting or tv or the schools or the water system. But the extreme use of swear and sexual content and derogatory terms must stop. And i'm really tired of being the ONLY one who seems to notice. People either say their "just learning where the line is" or "you were the same way". oh my favorite "their just repeating what they heard, so it's ok." 2

Are you kidding me? that's no ok! entertainment would have ratings if it were ok for teenagers (of all stages, see including myself) to do and say such things. And it's sick to think that i, in the problem generation, see more of an issue than my grandparents. I know they didn't behave this way. They were fight for civil rights and equal pay. 3

so how did my generation get here? how is that "Fuck" is more a more common used term in everyday vocabulary than "thank you"? Now granted I'm not the cleanest person when it comes to writing or conversation, but c'mon! Really a twelve year old and scream out a slew of curse words but can't even spell the state they live in. This is ludicrous! 4

I just came from my schools halloween dance. The dance floor (along with being packed like sardines) looked like the tipdrill video on BET. Actually it was only a few naked limbs shy of a porno flick. I wore a velvet prom dress with lotza boobage showing, and still I was one of the most fully dressed girls there. That's insane. I love my bf and sure we get irresponsible, but going at it in public on a dance floor is too far.5

If that weren't enough, you have these adults who think that its the cutest thing to see teenager "experimenting" and "finding" themselves. BUllshit! Experimentation can land you in rehab and you just might find that you're a parent a few years early. Girls came in dressed inappropriately (myself included ) and we weren't checked at all. Guys were going around pinching random girls butts and none of the black helicopters did ANYTHING.6

How far are we, as a society, going to allow this epidemic continue. Till teenage pregnancy is a part of growing up? Or when drug busts are the only thing constant? Perhaps when our childrens' first words are "Bitch" and "Fag" , we'll learn to take the "little" things seriously.

    So i dunno. This is the first time that I was honest to God behaving like a bitch. I mean I'm usually short with people and sarcastic, but today I was a total bitch. 1 So yesterday I had a lot of stressors. Then today coming back to school and just having the pressure of college stuff, family crap all mixed toget

  • would you have your step-bro's kid
    Creepy i kno, but not incest. See my step brother and his wife can't have kids because she's allergic to him. At the rate of adoption agencies, they won't have a child of their own for about three years. I was really surprised when Elle asked me to do it. Actually I was more than surprised. I told her to fuck o

  • Whoe needs Europe when you've got souther Missouri?
    Yeah I said it. Europe may be nice but backpacking across the Midwest is just as good. I hiked more than ten miles for my spring break with a eighty pound pack on me. I hiked up to one miles elevation. I slept through rain in 20 degree weather. And now I am sore as fuck. The worst thing is I never felt pain until i m

  • Just finished Shadow Kissed by Richelle Mead
    so i'm in tears right now because I just read Shadow Kiss! it was really sad. But it was also really sad. I'm not going to give anything away, but it was just really frustrating how the author ended the book. Book it was so powerful. I want to be able to affect readers that way. I want my readers to throw my book
