You know what's just surprising to me these days? 6th graders/7th graders.
Now, I know back in my Elementary and early JH years, I thought I was the shit. Or, at least I was more confident in myself in a sense. But the younger kids of today have got to be a thousand times worse. Constantly I see kids who are just going into 7th grade talk about how horrible their lives are, or how much they despise people and concepts they're lead to believe is "drama." Dude, when I was freakin' 12 I didn't even worry about half the drama these young girls are throwing themselves into to feel "cool" and "accepted." But honestly, I feel more sympathy for these girls than I do annoyance, because they must feel deprived of actually being a kid, when I know I wasn't at all. When I used to worry about lasting friendships, telling someone I thought I had a crush on them, and how different Junior High was gonna be, these girls worry about the next boy they're gonna kiss, who they have to avoid in Junior High, or the next time they're gonna break the rules. These girls are mindlessly swearing like they think people want to hear it, and talk about concepts they don't even really know enough about. What kind of a childhood is that? It's not as if high school's not going to be chock full of a hell of a lot more drama than they could probably even imagine. Take in the moments you'll strive to go back to, don't waste them trying to grow up. Oh, and spilling your life stories out on Myspace isn't going to do much for you at all either. Try living your life out in the world, instead of cooped up on the computer moping about what you think is a horrible life. I don't like that girls actually are exposing themselves to heartbreak, drama, and other things at THAT young of an age. I guess "I shouldn't be the one talking" since I'm only 4 years older. But in those 4 years, I've learned a lot more than these girls probably ever will, because I've actually had the chance to be a kid, as well as make the mistakes they're already making. I'd just hate to see all of this get worse. Maybe girls who aren't even old enough to see PG-13 movies, should stop acting like they're already in college. Agreed?
