Hello, readers! Did you miss me? If you did, great! If you didn't, boo hoo, get over it.
I'm going to get straight to the point: Today I am broaching the topic of. . . Let's see, how can I put this nicely without using any derogatory words? Um. . . little-teen-girls-younger-than-me-running-around-and-sleeping-with-and/or-doing-other-things-with-every-guy-they-can-get-their-hands-on-that's-even-halfway-popular. You catch my drift? Good.
So, what brought on this onslaught of anger and disbelief from me? Well, today, I heard a disturbing story about a freshman girl "giving head" (the nice term for it), or a B.J., to one of her male classmates. Multiple times. Frequently. Now, first of all, I can't fathom why anybody,
anywhere would want to do that. That's just. . .
eew. Second of all, freshman (and under) should not even know what a B.J. is. Unfortunately, with the help of magazines, television, and movies, majority of kids, from around 6th grade on up, know
exactly what a B.J. is. Now, we have little girls wearing tight, flashy, very
exposing clothing, sleeping with guys who are no more sexually (or mentally) mature than they are, and little boys thinking they are
supposed to have sex with these girls,
now, because - in their words - "everybody else is doing it."
So, who's fault is it? Guess. . . Ours. Yeah, I said it: it's
our fault. Know why? Because
we, the next generation, are horrible examples of how a grown up should act, and not just in the sensual way. We are violent, hurtful, conniving, lying, thieving, and all manner of other wrong things. We are supposed to be role models for the next generation, like the generation before us was. Now, granted, some people from the generation before us weren't very good role models, either, but it just keeps getting worse, and worse.
Think about a time when you were around young children. Maybe you were with your friends while around these kids. Everyone acts different when they're with their friends, right? Well, did you catch yourself saying something that probably shouldn't be said within earshot of a child? Cussing, or talking bad about someone, calling them nasty things behind their back; talking about inappropriate things, like sex, or B.J.'s, or other things? See, we don't watch what we say when we're around kids, because we think they aren't listening. But, really, they hear every word you say. There is a quote that fits in perfectly with this:
"Children seldom misquote you; they usually repeat, word for word, what you should not have said."
So, where do they learn all this from? Yep, us, again. We are one of the main reasons the generation below us is growing up like they are. We destroy their environment by polluting it with things that a child should never have to be subjected to at such a tender age. People say,"Oh don't worry, they're used to it." That's exactly the problem.
And here we are, getting upset when a teen girl, who's our age, or younger, sleeps with a boy in her class. We automatically call her a slut. Well, we don't have any more right to do it than they do. Sex is reserved for those with the wedding bands around their fingers. We're hypocrites, and the younger ones don't see any harm in doing what we do, because that's what they've been around since they were very small. TV and other media doesn't help much, either. We're seeing more and more things that should be classified as "porn" on regular television.
But, you know, it doesn't have to be like this. If our generation would stop being so pig-headed, talking about that kind of stuff, even when we're
not around kids, it might not be so hard to act right. If you can't say it around a child, don't say it at all, even when no kids are around. That's where we go wrong
a lot. Starting to keep a closer check on what comes out of your mouth would be a great place to start amending. We need to take responsibility for our actions, and not make the younger generation suffer for our mistakes. We need to grow up, before the damage we've cause becomes irreversible.
It's true, it's not
all our fault. The younger generation make their own choices, but those choices are heavily influenced by certain factors, many of them we've already discussed.
So, now that I've got that out of my system, what do you say to you and me cleaning up
our acts, to help the young ones clean up
theirs?
