dead on the inside, i've got nothing to prove
keep me alive and give me something to lose
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.

baaaah, Virgil, super tight jeans make absolutely everyone look fat, even nearly anorexic girls... they are an abomination and ought to be banned
i suppose people like the style they grew up with for the rest of their life...
no that would be horrible, imagine all those Madonna wannabe's (these were her before the material girl uggh).

ok so basicly, just because were 14 & 15 were not supose to speak out on how we feel about our generation.
a.) the truck i paid for
b.) i have 2 jobs
c.) my parents think that rent is the mature thing to do.
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?
yep, i think you have a right to speak your mind about your fellow teenagers. i don't think there isn't enough distance.. i mean you may be the same age, but then by being different from those guys, you are distanced enough in my opinion
dear Shadow, if you're considering this a prob and you're just 15,I must say that you have an early awarenessalthough I definitely agree with Drame ,no generalization.
Miss Tenderness:
Where have you been?!!I haven't seen you for a while(i think
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.
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
First, you don't have to call me "Mr."Mr.Virgil:

Perhaps you're right, dyed hair for a 16 year old is too much. But now I remember a little after I had grown older, perhaps when i was in my early 20s, there was a punk style with dyed hair. I don't know if they were doing that in high school or not. But leather boots and jacket were not uncommon when I was a teenager. I remember having a leather jacket myself.

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'.
