If nobody's reading this, I might as well post...
You know, when you're a teen, your body is telling you to go- go fall in love, seek your mate, make babies. But society (your parents, schools, adults, etc.) tells you no! You have time! Not now!
There are the rebels- the ones who choose to side with hormones, physical attraction, instinct, chaos, natural rebellion- who have chosen that they will NOT be controlled.
There are the non-rebels- the ones who are patient, who are respectable, who study hard and get real jobs. What your parents want you to be when you grow up.
Now, I'm not saying everybody falls directly into one of these categories. I'm saying that these are the two sides of the spectrum. People fall between them.
Are the non-rebels closed minded, sheep-like? Conformists?
Are the rebels stupid? Immature?
Who is to say who is right?
Is siding with society's limits so wrong? Is he who chooses to wait for live, to study hard and get a "real job", who has considered his instincts and suppressed them to fit into the shell of what society calls "respectable" more closed minded than he who chooses to side with natural hormones and rebellion? They both scoff at the other side. But why?
Those who choose their path (whether to fall to the side of "rebel" or "non-rebel") are grouped with the same people who simply GO.
When I say "simply GO" I mean continue their life without giving thought to where they're going. Who follow the leader.
And when you get down to thinking about it... what's so wrong about following? I mean, there are only so many paths you can take...

Most 13-year-olds don't stay up worrying about this, do they?
DAMN IT!

teehee this is funny, :-P i cant believe u think about this.
ReplyDeletei think about stuff like this too... i think i am going to take ethics next year. i mean, people always say "just take responsibility for your actions" but what you do is a mixture of what the world made you and your genitic make-up, so how can this be your fault? if someone abuses you constantly as a child you can expect them to grow up and "take responsibility" for their actions brcause ITS NOT THEIR FAULT! (im glad im not the only one who zones out thinking about stuff like this...)p.s. this is bella :) (the camp one)
