I know that I'm gonna regret writing this, but it's my journal and people don't have to read it.

I don't understand girls and boys.....particularily their tendencies to hook up.

Girls...have some more respect for yourself! Honestly, do you think that hooking up with some guy will make them appreciate you? Come on, it will make them think just the opposite. I know that the guy may be saying, "I love you, but we can't be together right now" so you'll still do stuff with him, but think about how you'll look to people...You'll look easy...you'll look like a whore. I know that a majority of these girls are none of these things...but why make yourself look that way? I'm not trying to be a hater (although it clearly looks this way). In some cases, these girls have had a hard life. Maybe something bad happened to them. Maybe they didn't get enough love in their childhood or their parents divorced or something. I just don't understand why they feel that hooking up will fix everything. It doesn't. some of the girls who do this are my really good friends. I love them to death, but I really think that their are other ways to make yourself feel better...maybe something more permanent.

Guys-have you ever heard of self control? Honestly...keep it in your pants! Do you like hooking up with some random girl, and then getting shit from your friends months afterwards? Do you like the feeling of looking desperate? No, because guys never gain the reputation girls get after a night of hooking up. The most they get is crap from the their friends and are called "a player" by the girls. I know that the boys reading this will think, "the girl wanted it to!". Well look above, I gave the girls crap too! Another thing guys...the feminine jokes? Yea, they're getting old. "Go back to the kitchen" "make me a sandwhich" it's not funny anymore. Yes i admit at some point, it was considered a "good comeback" but now it's just annoying so give it a rest will you?

I'm sorry that I vented, but I'm beginning to get pissed at my generation of kids. Some of them have no respect for themselves or eachother. Some of them need to seriously rethink what they consider "morals" to be.

I don't know why i decided to write this. Sure, I could be content writing this in my little blue journal in a drawer in my room, but would it "reach" people?....probably not. I'm writing this because I know that they're are a select few that agree with me. I'm not a bitch, and I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm tired of watching my friends make mistakes and be so hurt afterwards. They are good kids! I'm not trying to look or sound more superior than them..I'm really not. I just don't know why Sex, alcohol, and drugs are the key to making everyting okay? If you get nothing else from this entry, I hope you understand that their are other ways to handling your stress and problems 

If you feel the same way, please let me know? I think it would give me some comfort to know that I'm not the only person who feels this way.
