not a paramore reference. important parts of this post are bolded. my rambling is not. kudos if you read all of this, i tend to go on. like i am now.
so, a few questions for you kids out there. answer what you're comfortable with.
do you feel pressure to have sex? are you friends doing it? have you come close or have you done it just to fit in? what about the pressure to do drugs or drink? aaaand the pressure to have a boyfriend/girlfriend? be honest folks, you are among friends~
well, i don't feel most of that. most of my friends haven't even had their first kisses yet (i am a freshman in high school, my friends are 14 and 15 years old) only the "cool" kids (the ones everyone know, lol not my circle of friends) are the ones I hear about having sex, getting drunk, getting high etc. I think it's a little sad kids are having sex and getting smashed every weekend just out of middle school, personally. after starting high school and hearing about kids doing all that, i must admit i feel pretty lame and "uncool", because i've never even held hands with anyone. lol fail
but, as for pressure, not really. i don't hang out with those kids (NOT because of their behavior, i wouldn't push someone aside because they did things i don't do), most of my friends are as boring as me so no pressure. now getting to the point of my post and past my meaningless rambling about myself.
the reason i feel insecure is because it seems like it's almost acceptable for kids to do these things nowadays, almost normal. i realize i sound like a prude right now but... is it normal where you are for younger teenagers (13, 14, 15) to be sexually active, get drunk and do drugs? and i say young teenagers because okay, at 16 i can see having sex. drinking. drugging. (though not something I would do.) you've been in high school for a few years at that age, your body is a little bit more mature, and in most common cases in a year or two you'll be out in the world. maybe even 15 too.
but right out/in of middle school? really? i don't get it. enlighten me, if you can. i don't go around preaching because people can do whatever the fuck they want, but it just baffles me because at 13 and 14, you have your whole life to do these things. why the hell are we rushing? why do you think more kids are doing this at younger ages? i can't come up with an answer.
well i hope most of that made sense. once again, props if you read all that bullshit. i'd just like some opinions and answers. also, if you're a young teenager and do the things i've talked about in my post, i don't mean to offend. i don't mean to put people down for anything they do. it's just something i don't understand, you know?

i fell into a wishing well, so guess what i've been drinking? turns out you drove me into the crowd, so much for wishful thinking.
