SOCIETY KILLED THE TEENAGER. Yep, that says it all. I just recently went to my little brothers science fair at the Junior High School. All around me I saw little 30 year old women. These girls are 13 years old... they are supposed to be wearing unmatching clothes that are way to big, pigtails, and not caring whether they look good- just having a good time with their friends. Well apparently not, these girls are not even girls anymore. Perhaps clones of a barbie ? Spray tans, bleached hair, nails done, wearing fancy clothes and heels, and walking around with their boyfriends. Since when do year olds have boyfriends and I-phones ?! I suppose I got lost in the translation it was okay to give us every luxury we could ever want and let us look and feel way beyond their age just because it apparently the 'trendy' way to do it. Is there really such thing as a teenager anymore? All of the ads, the culture, social networking, the hate, and the trends.. they destroy what little of human individuality we have. Deemed by society it is okay for todays teenager to be a barbie doll by the age of 14, to drink, to do drugs, to have sex, just do whatever and get whatever they please. Society is killing us.. literally and metaphorically. There is hardly any responsibility or respect towards adults or anyone for that matter, it is not expected nor demanded.
Thank YOU!!! I am mom of two teens. This world is so obsessed with making their kids the best athlete...the best student.. needing to go to the best college,kids are missing out on the best time in their life. BEING A KID! Stop the madness. They will fin their way but let them have fun.
