This is one of those times...that I am feeling like I want to write something to express my feelings. I know that is it hard to be a teenager in this time .....and it seems like there is always some kind of DRAMA....or at least that is the way it is in my house. I just do not understand why kids/teenagers are so cruel to each other. I mean they could be "best friends" with someone one day and the next they are spreading rumors and talking about each other. Why? What for? It is so crazy .
Maybe I do not remember how it was when I was that age. I remember girls being ugly and stuff...but, it is just gotten out of hand.
I guess with this new technology that is available...it makes it easier. The prank calls...the hateful texts that they send to each other.....they can do it so easy now....they do not have to look at that person in the eyes and say it.....our technology has made it too simple. They have labels for everyone it seems these days....is it the movies we see, the song we listen to...that it is acceptable for them to be so hateful towards one another.....
I wonder have I been raising my children right? Will they say or act ugly towards others? I am sure that they have....I'm not always around to tell them not to. And as I was told by one of mine.....Would you not want to defend myself, when people are saying stuff about them. Yes, I want you to defend yourself....but, you do not have to ugly about it. I have just about decided that ignoring it, is almost the best way to go about it. But, it is not me they are saying stuff about. Eventhough it does make me sad to know that it is happening.
It saddens me that kids can be friends with someone for 12 or more years....and then it seems like in a day or so....they are not even talking. Why? No one is always happy with their friends....but, that does not mean that you do not care about them.....Come on!
Learning to accept our differences may be a something that we are not teaching our kids these days. Things happen....people talk....no one is perfect! Right.
