The Evolution of Man Actually Ends with Dead Drunkards

First of all...
I would like to correct my first post. Abortion wasn't really part of anything, but it was about the RH bill here in the Philippines. I don't think it has anything to do with abortion, but it deals on population control and proper sexual education for children, I think. I don't really know much about the RH bill yet. So, if you read this before you read the first one, just be sure to not read the two points as two parts of the same story. Just read them as two different topics. Sorry, my mistake.

Teenagers. Today, I witnessed a scene out of a horrible dramatic teen television series. It was a simple example of the kind of thing I ridicule everyday and laugh about to myself. Of course I can't just point it out in public and make fun if it because nobody will get my point since they're all so blinded by their vanity and fantasies.
You see, people like what they see on TV. They love the drama, the promiscuity, the romance and the puberty. They want to act like those couples and teenagers in movies and in television shows. They want to be in relationships and be able to do the things they see. They want to be in relationships and be able to say the things they want to say that they probably got from those movies or TV shows. It's monkey-see-monkey-do. (Not because we're Filipinos) In other words, teenagers today feel like they need to do the things they see other teenagers do. They would want to kiss, be in relationships, protect their relationships as if they're married, get in fights because they're partners are supposedly being seduced by another person, drink beer, smoke and party. I find it all very pathetic, really.
Friend: "Yo man, let's go to a party and get drunk!"
Me: "No"
Friend: "Why not?"
Me: "Because you're a douchebag and we're 13."
And that's really the most pathetic thing. These "teenagers" I'm talking about are mostly just 13 and 14 year-olds. They feel like they have to do these "grown-up" things to be mature and supposedly, cool. Yeah, drinking, smoking and partying would so totally get you cool. Sometimes, they would think them so hardcore and badass when they do these things. Tell me, what's so cool with getting drunk, barfing your intestines out, getting a massive headache, losing your wisdom and being a complete idiot? ..Oh wait a minute, that's so totally amazingly unbelievably cool! (Yes, sarcasm)

Let's take a look at what these cool teenagers usually start saying.. by gender:
Girls:

~"OMG! I love him so much! I'm so in love. OHMAHGAWD I'm so filled with loved. We're so totally going to last forever! This is love right here!"
~"Babe, let's go buy some alcohol -- vodka probably. Then we could get drunk and regret it later, but that's alright. We'll still look cool, anyways."
~"You know, that teacher is such a bitch! She scolded me a while ago for fixing my hair in front of her. What's her problem? I'm so pissed! I hater her so much! (OMG, I can't believe I got scolded. I'm soooo cool. Rebellion ftw!)"
~"Did you do your homework?"
"Nope. (Aw yeaaaah)"
~You're so childish! Ew, ohmahgash. That's not what I watch! I watch Gossip Girl, and Skins, and other mature and cool shows like that."
~"Aww! We have to watch that new cartoon movie! I'm so cool now that I can say that I watch cartoon movies even though I don't like them. I'm so falsely childish, and that makes me so cool."
~"Stay away from my man! That's my boyfriend! You don't really flirt with him or anything, but that still makes you a flirt because he's my boyfriend and you've never done anything to him!"
~"I love this thing so much! When did I start loving it? Well, when I found out that so many people loved it, I did so too. Mainstream ftw!"
~"We teenagers have such hard lives."
~Etc..

Boys:

~"Dude, let's go barhopping, bro!"
~"We so totally made out! It was epic! This makes me so cool. Don't tell anybody, though. (Please tell everybody. This has to spread. THIS MAKES ME COOL!)"
~"Take a look at my abs, bro! Check out my sweet guns!"
~"My dick is 5 inches long! Tell the whole world! This makes me so awesome!"
~"Let's smoke, coz it's cool."
~"Check out those sweet ass and tits! [pretends to grab some butt]"
~"Let's go to a club and party!"
~"Oh man, I look so good with these jeans tucked into my high-cut shoes and this polo shirt and my spiky hair. I am perfection!"
~"Did you do your homework?"
"Nope. (Aw yeaaaah)"
~"That teacher just scolded me! I'm in so much trouble! (rebel kid ftw!)"
~"Did you study?"
"Nah (Aw yeaaaah)"
~"Let's go pick up some chicks."
~"That girl is super hot! I would really do her! Huh? She's 12, why?"
~"I'm going out with my girlfriend and her friends and my friends. This is so totally a date. Aw yeaaaah."
~"Pokemon?! Naruto?! Wrestling?! Comic books?! That shit is weak, man. You guys are so childish!"
~"Uy, solid, tol!!" {haha. ew.}
~Etc..

I hear these words a lot, really. Sometimes, I even say them out loud jokingly, but people probably don't realize that it's to mock them. I'm not saying that I'm better than these people, but I'm just saying that these are the things I notice around me. I really don't pay attention to myself, so I don't know whether or not I actually do these things. Sometimes our mind state is unconscious and uncontrollable and we do these things without even thinking it would make us cool. Sometimes, we just feel the need to because of puberty, I guess.

So, you're all probably wondering what I witnessed today that made me talk about the vanity of youth. If you read the blog very closely, you'll find out. These feelings about "growing up" have been bottled up inside probably since I was in the 5th grade. There was just never really anybody I could actually tell this to without insulting them unintentionally.

Some of you would probably be offended and say, "Why? What about you? Aren't you guilty of these things?"
Well, I say to you, maybe some. Or one, actually. It's quite embarrassing that I admit myself that the one I'm guilty of is listed in the girls' section. Yes, it's the love things. But so what? I love my A and I don't care what anyone says or thinks about it.

To anyone who is offended by this, remember one thing:
It's not your fault. And you don't have to care what other people think
about you. Just do what you want and if someone tells you to
stop doing it, tell that person to fuck off.
