I wish I understood why teens, or anyone for that matter, were so obsessed with sex.

But, for now, let’s focus on teens. It’s not that I want to be myself. I just want to be able to understand, even just a tad bit, what my friends are talking about. I know their hormones are going crazy. But, hey. That’s no excuse. I may be almost 18, but I’m still considered a teen. What ever happened to love making? What ever happened to it actually meaning something? I know people who lose their virginity and gloat about it because now they fit in. People who have actually stated that they “Like being called a ho,”. Where has your self-respect gone? Society now-a-days has trained young people that if you’re still a virgin by the time you’re sixteen you’re “uncool” or a “prude” or whatever else they can come up with. But, hey. If having some respect for myself and my body makes me uncool, or a prude, I really don’t give a damn. I’m not embarrassed. And I really don’t take anything you say about me respecting myself as an insult or negative. I take it as a positive. But, I’m getting off topic. Let’s reel it back in. Point is, I want to understand it. To be able to understand what my friends, or even strangers, mean. Not to feel it myself, just to understand.

*SIDE NOTE*- If you’re reading this and you do not agree with me, that’s fine. Disagree. But that’s your opinion and this is mine. So, please try to respect my opinion as much as I do yours. This was not meant to offend anyone, so my apologies if it does.
