Re: the waking up in a stranger's dorm room not knowing what happened the night before or with whom, the failed breathalyzer tests, the screwing around that is rampant and epidemic. And these gullible, astonishingly stoopid young females are claiming that this is how they are trying to find their identity and this is them trying to grow up. And they accuse anyone who has a problem with this morass of "not wanting them to grow up."
Oh, for Christ's sake. Don't give me that crap. Don't insult my intelligence with that crap.
Wrong. I DO want you to grow up. I want you to learn responsibility for your life. Learn how to manage checking and savings accounts. Get a college education, get a job. Realize that you will have a future life beyond the here and now, and you need to prepare for it. Learn to respect yourself.
I was in the college library and I was staring at the cover of "Ms." magazine. Well, half that and half staring off into space. And in a hale and blaze, I realized why all these silly little females were engaging in all that self-destructive behavior. The binge drinking, drunkenness, the drug abuse, the tattoos, the piercings in very delicate sensitive personal private places.
As long as we're on the subject of tattoos. What is up with all these "butt tattoos," which is what I have monikered them, popping up on young females that evidently want to draw the whole entire world's attention to the top of their butt cracks? Do they think they are challenging society's pre-conceived notions of women... by getting tattoos in personal private places?
Because I'm seeing these popping up all over the place nowadays. Not that I am actively looking for them; I will be just innocuously minding my own business perhaps browsing through a sale rack at a clothing boutique, and I will happen to glance to the right -- and there will inevitably be but a "butt tattoo" staring me in the face. They are kind of hard not to notice -- the females call attention to these tattoos by wearing reeeeeeaaaaly low "show-your-butt" jeans in tandem with reeeeeaaally high short too-small shirts. I have managed to keep my shocked shrieking to a minimal decibel level.
In one of my classes, this one girl who is not particularly svelte happened to sit in front of me a couple times. And every time I looked up from my notebook to look at the Prof and the chalkboard at the front of the room, that damn thing will ambush my line of vision. Good god, man, it's like getting lemon juice squirted in the eye every time I look up from my books. I try to keep the outward expression of cringing down to a minimum.
Mercifully the weather is getting a little colder and I make an effort not to sit behind her, so I do not see it as often now. But I feel sorry for her future classmates in the spring semester. Actually to be honest, her male classmates probably enjoy it. And let's be even more honest -- that was probably her aspiration -- to please males and gain their approval by sexually objectify herself. Let me be brutally honest yet again -- I am surprised she's even in this class.
Back to seriousness. So this is what you think construes grown-up behavior? They are under the impression that this is how grown-ups behave.
They don't much care that their rebellion, as it were, is dangerous and possibly deadly. Blood alcohol poisoning, fatal car crash, the risk of drunken rape. Stranger than that is, they don't even realize that this is not grown-up behavior in the first place. They think that this delinquent mess is the entirety of being grown-up.
An average human lifetime follows thusly:
Childhood -- Rebellious adolescence -- Boring responsible adult phase
^
Wild teenager types do not realize that a stage of psychosocial development exists beyond this point, which is their current stage. They truly seem to be locked in a worldview that only two stages of life exist-- childhood and rebellion. They have reached the later one, rebellion, so they think they have achieved adulthood.
This is all because they are not *truly* grown-up. I have finally figured out why teenagers think that drinking, drugs, promiscuity, general stupid irresponsible rebellion that only harms them and has no other outcome. (I remember seeing that stoopid ms magazine cover and suddenly sprung from this theory.) They think that this constitutes adult behavior. Teenagers rebel against their parents and challenge their parents' authority, rules, anc control over the teenagers' lives. Whatever parents tell teenagers not to do, like sneaking out late at night, going to drunken parties, getting drunk,
They think that simply by dint of questioning some authority figure in their lives, this automatically makes them grown-up and mature. They think that breaking the rules,
Never mind the fact that the rules exist for good reason. Parents don’t set rules for their children just to ruin the kids' lives and prevent them from having any fun. Parents set rules because they would like to avoid having to encounter their child bearing a toe tag and having to identify the body at the scene of a drunken car crash or at the morgue.
Never mind the fact that this behavior is self-destructive, dangerous, etc. The teenagers are questioning authority, and they think that is all that is required for the honor of being considered grown-up and responsible. They think this is the extent of expectations that constitutes being a grown-up.
And just totally cast out of your mind the fact that teenagers are not grown-up in the least. They do not take care of their own finances or bills, they do not manage their own money, they do not cook their own food, they do not run their own households. They would have no idea what to do if their parents ever agreed with the teenagers and truly let the teenagers "run their own lives," as is the usual insufferable request from said adolescents.
I finally figured out that this is the sort of thing that un-grown up teenagers think is mature and adult. <They> think that it is grown up behavior.
They don't know that there is a world beyond their immediate gratification -- because they are too shortsighted to see this. They do not seem to realize that binge drinking and letting complete strangers with electric needles near private anatomy parts -- are not skills that will serve them well in the future. They are so shallow in their vision that they don't realize that frat hos chanting "chug-chug-chug" at a job interview probably won't get them that job. I don't imagine there are a lot of banks that view shooting heroin as a good reference on a mortgage application. The fact that they do not realize any of this -- proves that they are not grown-up.
They think that screwing around and destroying one's medical health are emblems of growing up. They seem defiantly obtuse to the fact that this incredibly narrow worldview is in fact point-blank-evidence that they are not grown-up.
They think all this -- precisely because they are NOT grownup. They are not truly intelligent, reasonable, or responsible. They are not truly rational or logical. This is the sort of behavior that non-grownups, adolescents, think is mature grown-up behavior. Real adults know that in truth it is destructive, damaging, and irresponsible.
