I listen to my mom ramble on about all these amazing memories she has from when she was in High School. I sulk, envious of the joy she has just remembering them again. Why do we try to rush adult hood? Teens who are pregnant, drinking, having sex, saving all their time doing one thing. What do they have to tell their children about? I come to school everyday and the new gossip is who is having sex with whom, who got drunk this weekend, whose pregnant, and usually telling these stories are the kids who just sat at home and observed it all over the weekend. Why do we want to experience all the things meant for certain ages so young? Maybe that's why some adults are so boring, because they did all the adult things when they were my age. I just seem to not be following the band wagon here.
Then I think what's the point of sex in high school? After a few months the couple is destroyed, and now everyone in the entire school knows that they had sex. For me sex is a personal thing shared with one person who you are completly comitted to. I don't want everyone, even people I don't know, knowing that I've lost the V-card. So why do it? Do you think you're going to get married? Because 7% of High School relationships result in marriage, and 5% of those get divorced. So why not wait?
I guess I'm still sitting here the minority.
