That last post was not me saying I do love more than one person, I just wondered about it. Today is tacky day for homecoming week and tonight is Big Man On Campus. Its going to be fun and its been fun getting to this point.
This past weekend a bunch of girls hung out both nights. One of the nights there was some teenage drama gossip. and about someone we all adore especially when she is around. I kept trying to throw in comments such as "well dont we all" but they didnt get my point so finally I told them we should learn to handle problems in other ways. They were hypocritically talking terrible about the girl for talking about other people. Ironic.
I think school should teach young adults how to emotionally develop. We Should be taught emotional intelligence from a young age. Instead with all the media running around, teens grow up thinking its normal to call someone a mean name. Most people however do not really mean what they say about others, its only a temporary release of insanity. They did not stop to make a decision of saying something hurtful.
Everyone should realize its more efficient to go to the person and say "You really hurt my feelings" instead of "YOURE THE WORST FRIEND IVE EVER HAD, YOU DIRTY SLUT!"
And its MUCH more effective to tell the person when they cause the offense, so that they realize in the act what they did. I have found that instead, a lot of girls react harshly and are inconsiderate of anyone around them. At those moments when those hurtful words are said, its ME ME ME.
I am not saying I am not guilty of gossip. I try to avoid it of course, but I am still guilty as are we all. However, I would like to change the habits of this echo boomer generation.
And going to someone saying your feelings are hurt, may not produce any effects at all. That person really may be stuck in their own teenage ego, but thats how you know. If they don't react, they obviously don't care about you nearly as much as they do about themselves. That sucks to realize that as a friend, but hopefully one day they will grow up.
In the meantime you must accept it for what it is and choose to be around it, or dont.
Thank you Confucious Kirby.
