I don't Understand My Generation - Comments

Oh, and they're called plugs. You don't wear 'gauges' you 'gauge' your ears. Jsyk.

SwallowYourLies: No, not at all. :)

Just to be clear, I'm talking about all the EXTREME cases. Like, the people who do absolutely nothing except for drugs, alcohol and sex. And as for gages, it's fine if they do it because it's a completely individual choice. It's when they do it to fit into a certain stereo-type or because they think it makes them cool.

I'm all for people doing what makes them happy. I'm just saying that there has to be a balance.

Anxiety:

Haha yes I know what you mean...
I didn't think you were judging anyone, sorry if it sounded like I meant that. :)

I'm not judging. Like what you want to like, I think it looks cool, too. In a gross kind of way?

Anxiety:
Yeah but the thing with me is if it dosn't concern me I dont care what people do to their bodies. I dont know I personally think they look neat to an extent.

I know plenty of people who live happy and well-adjusted lives having sex and doing drugs (and I mean just weed). Some people keep them separately really well. I admit I smoke pot, get in trouble all the time, and mutilate my body and I'm a high honor student. Though I do not do it for popularity, for some people they can do both.

true true

yet I guess people don't think about it until it's right around the corner

It's fine with me if that's what they like. Not any worse than tattoos. It's just strange to see some people do it to fit in.

V. Oh I see then... some people do that just because they like it though... not to just follow trends.

v. It's apparently a trend to mutilate your body.

What's wrong with having gauges...

The majority of kids who claim to have sex and do drugs on a regular basis are saying it to gain attention and 'popularity'. It's like that in every high school, guaranteed.

Tru dat. My school is a grammar school so we're a little more hardworking than other kids, but a teacher labelled my yeargroup as the worst year 11 for 25 years cause of how immature we all are. It's fun dicking up but hell even I know that at some point this year, I've got to work if I want good grades. It's getting harder and harder to get into university now, so I can't afford to screw up this year and the next two after.

People pretend to be badass, but I can practically guarantee that by the time of the exams, the majority of my year will have their heads in the books to make sure they don't fail.
