Questions
This section is a bit different from Annoyances because these are things I don't understand at all. If any of you want to IM me about any of these to have an intelligent conversation, I urge you to. Here we go:
Someone explain drinking to me. Please. I just don't see what's so fun about getting smashed out of your mind and then puking for a couple hours the next morning. For what? Kids my age who do this almost humor me. Everyone knows teen drinking is for fitting into crowds or being looked upon as "cool". Everyone also knows (I hope) that most kids my age wouldn't drink it if it didn't contain alcohol, and they know it. I guess there's no stopping people who want to do it.
I could also use an explaination of so-called "Anti-Conformists". You're a conformist, so is he, so is that girl over there, so am I. Deal with it. Get over it. The word "conformity" is automatically slapped on the term "prep". Your decisions can be effected by other people's opinions and you know it. As long as your opinions are something you truly believe in and back up, I don't care if you wear Abercrombie, have a mohawk, whatever.
Alright, now don't assume I'm racist from this one, but I don't understand some black people. White people can't call them a nigger, but they feel like they can call us names (a popular one is "cracker") at will. When confronted, most black people will say something along the lines of "we have the right because of the oppression my people went through." You know what... are you a slave now? No. Do we still have slavery in America? No. It was something stupid that our ancestors decided on. It isn't our fault, we can't control what they've done. We can only control what's going on now. I'm just amazed at how long you can hold a grudge for something you yourself never experienced.
More to come.
