When I went to high school, girls wore make up. Actually there were some girls that wore so much that it looked horrible. As I look back I can see that it was out of insecurity. Guys were just as insecure, trying to be athletes to attract girls. While I have not been in a high school in a long time, I doesn't sound as if it's changed much. If you want to know what it was like in Brooklyn when I was growing up, check out the movie Saturday Night Fever. That's my neighborhood. The story line obviously is exaggerated (no one I knew committed suicide) but it captures teenager's insecurities quite well.
But what I really liked when I was in school that girls wore were super tight jeans. That's what caught my eye. ;) ;)

i suppose people like the style they grew up with for the rest of their life...
:sick: no that would be horrible, imagine all those Madonna wannabe's (these were her before the material girl uggh).
Oh, don't worry :D, I've already pidgeon-holed this special preference of yours under "fit of youthful folly" ;).Quote:

a.) the truck i paid for

d.) i can safely say that 85% of my school dress like sluts. you have the sluts, the hore core, the goths.
so i think that everyone should no that there generation has flaws, and god forbid if we speak our minds. we are not pupets. we are people and rather you so called "grown ups" or "adults" like it we have a right to speak out on how we feal. -stephanie-
i think what Schoko meant was are you allowed to drive at 14 where you live?Quote:

dear Shadow, if you're considering this a prob and you're just 15,I must say that you have an early awareness:)although I definitely agree with Drame ,no generalization.
Miss Tenderness:
Where have you been?!!I haven't seen you for a while(i think:D).
I don't think it's about awareness though i do agree that a lot of these girls are shallow and have nothing in their minds.
But,Some of the ones i met were really smart,learned girls which suggests that awareness isn't really much of it.
I think the parents always take the blame i mean for instance i know girls who know smoking is wrong but do it because their mothers or fathers do it.
Mr.Virgil:
The girls still put too much make up on.I met a girl today in my french lesson i could have sworn she was 21 or 22 years and she turned out to be one year older than me.I don't know maybe i was distracted by her dyed hair,leather boots and leather jacket.:bawling:
hey, Sam.yes , I haven't been here for quite along time,glad to see you:)
I see what you mean and I agree, but sometimes when you are aware that something is bad and still you embrace it ,it makes you not fully aware.Hope you get my point:D
First, you don't have to call me "Mr." ;)Quote:

OP,
You are raging against the machine, really. Peer pressure is, has been, and will be the driving force behind conformity and herd mentality. While I might find eleven year old girls chain smoking and wearing jeans that fall off their thighs distasteful, ultimately it's their own (and to some extent their parent's) choice and they'll just have to live with it. Chill out and try not to judge too severely.
At least you didn't include having sex as one of the 'things' that is wrong with the current 'generation'.
