Lately, I've been looking around me and realizing that younger kids and teens these days are growing up way faster than I ever did. Does that make me old? Because it definitely makes me feel old.
Some ten year old "couples" can swear that they are in "serious" relationships. What is "serious" to them? Hand holding? Kissing? Leaving the Never-Touched-A-Boobie Tribe? I find that so strange. When I was ten, wanting a boyfriend was the last thing on my mind. Now, it's like younger kids are partying it up with their little friends like they're twenty-one years old. It's actually kind of disgusting to me. I find it funny when little high school boys and girls post up pictures of parties they've been to, where they're clutching Vex wine coolers in their hands, or posing with a giant bottle of Grey Goose, thinking that they're the shit because they were able to score alcohol out of daddy's liquor cabinet. What a joke. But it also kind of scares the shit out of me. If thirteen-year-old kids are already doing all these crazy things at such a young age, what does that mean for the generations of kids coming after them? What does that mean about the kids that I might have in the future?! Gross, I am speaking like I'm some kind of mom on the PTA already (I hardly feel like an adult- age ain't nothin' but a numberrr) but it really freaks me out! My mom is always saying that as badly as I treat her, my kids will treat me ten times worse. Now, compared to other kids, I wasn't so bad. Seriously, I have a pretty good head on my shoulders. But... if I was running off and getting secret piercings and going joyriding (See?!?! Not so bad!!!), then what will my kids be doing secretly?! I already can't stand children who fit into the seven to twelve age group (Goddddd, they are so annoying)!!! Ughhh, the future is ridiculous. I have completely turned myself off to having children in the future.
Or maybe I could just have one as an experiment, and if I like it, then more will follow.
Haha, I totally just referred to a child as an "it". I was just kidding though.
Sort of.
