Why is it that we live in a society where losing your phone is more profound than losing your virginity? To be honest it really pisses me off. Why can't your body be a sanctuary for you, your future husband/wife and the one who made it (God)? Virginity is one of those things that is taken for granted. Guys and girls alike lack self-respect now-a-days and I don't fully understand why. As soon as a guy takes off his shirt to reveal his abs, some girl hops into bed with him and calls it love. And when he doesn't call, her heart is broken, so the cycle starts all over again. Okay, I understand that this situation is a bit extreme, but it illustrates how people can lack self-respect (and it's not just girls). For some-guys and girls-sex is a tool to "heal" themselves or whatever. I can't read minds, so I don't really know what goes on their heads, but here's a guy who has been through this struggle...

Powerful, right?
A few months ago, there were some guys in my lunch hour who were rating the hottest girls in the school. Pretty shallow if you ask me, but who am I to judge. The girl at the top of the list is the girl is known as the school sl**. Harsh, I know. But it shows how little respect guys have for girls because of the lack of respect girls have for themselves.
On another note, it really frustrates me when society looks the other way with underage drinking, marijuana, and recreational drug use. I had a friendly, heated discussion with a recently graduated high school student on this subject when he offered my friend (a sophomore in high school) the opportunity to "get crunk" with him and his friends, claiming that he would protect her like a sister if she joined them. Crunk isn't a word. If he's going to offer that sort of opportunity to an underage girl (especially when he's still underage himself), he should at least own up to what he's doing, don't you think? Anyways, I've heard numerous times that older generations complain about my generation. First of all, I think they've forgotten who raised us. They passed their beliefs onto our parents and/or us. They can't blame us for their poor parenting or/and communication skills. Second, there is minority-which I'm proud to be apart of- who somewhat disown the generation our elders see. We're people too, not just numbers or statistics. However, I am glad that I'm not the only one fed up with people my age. And even though a chunk of my generation are the numbers and the statistics, I do believe that we're going to be the generation to make a huge, powerful and positive impact in this world.
