Teen Drama

Relationships. Drugs. Pressure.

It feel like teen years revolve around these things.

I would know because I'm living them as I write this out. I'm not going to complain about my teen problems on here, because it's simple. There is no need to complain about my issues because out there somewhere there is someone who has it much, much worse.

I feel like fighting out problems isn't the answer. But apologizing only makes you seem fake and weak in the eyes of most teens. Most boys seem to all get along for the most part. they either like someone or they don't and they make it known. 

Girls. They are truly something different. They are downright mean when they try.

If she is mature then she knows how to avoid drama. If shes' immature she goes out of her way to cause it. Those who want to cause it will make it unbearable for that girl who really just wants to fix the problem and move on.

I'v been in situations like these before, but i wouldn't say I'v been mature in every one of these, no one is right all the time. Life would be too easy and we'd never have mistakes to learn from if that were the case. It just comes down to that no one is perfect.

Facebook, aids teen drama. Most of it all begins there nowadays. 

he said. she said. what she did. what girl he was talking to. she posted that about her. etc.

Relationships are a big cause for it as well. Like i said I'm not perfect and i will admit i dated when i was only 13. If i was smarter i would have waited. I'm only 15 now so it's not a big stretch and i"m dating now.

Boys usually wanna date girls because they want to impress their friends. A very small handful, that do exist really just want to have a meaningful relationship or some are even smarter and realize they have bigger priorities than having a relationship. 

Girls are kind of the same way. Most see it as a status symbol. The more guys you have asking you out, the better that makes you apparently. But only the more attractive and confident girls usually feel that way. In most cases, less-attractive girls tend to be a lot sweeter and appreciate having a relationship more because they don't get as many opportunities or they know a good guy from a jerk.. 

But once again girls become more manipulative. They will try and steal guys from other girls to prove they are prettier and better than other girls. But in reality they may be hurting someone. I'm not saying all pretty girls are terrible, just most cocky girls are.

Another thing is drugs. We all got the peer pressure speech in health class in school so I'd just be repeating them by saying it here. I really don't think anyone is cool for smoking. There is nothing cool or attractive about intentionally hurting your body for pleasure. Even though most kids disregard what our teachers and parents tell us about drinking and smoking we soon realize that, they were usually right. But sometimes most kids who have tried it don't learn that soon enough.
In an ideal world, kids wouldn't worry about how they look, and how to impress the opposite gender. Middle school wouldn't have to be one of those things you just wanna close your eyes and run through.
Without struggle and mistakes though we would have nothing to learn from. so it seems like somedays there is no right or wrong answer on how to avoid teen drama.
What I'v learned though is to just try and avoid it. Be nice to someone, even though you do not think they deserve it, you wouldnt deserve it either if you dropped to their level. 

Day 2 on blogging

Well here I go again.
One thing that i wanna touch upon on my blog is religion. It has always been a very opinionated topic.
It's also something that is constantly on my mind. Questions often pass through my mind like
What happens when we die?
Will i just dream? Or will it be dark and thoughtless?
It's something that i fear the most. I know none of us want to die. But it's part of the cycle all of us living things go though. The only thing scarier then dying though is being lonely i guess. So i also guess in comparison dying doesn't seem so bad, if it means not being alone in the twilight of our lives. But its truly a selfish thought.

But as far as religion goes, I don't believe in a god at all. I used to have very strong catholic beliefs growing up. Although when my thoughts started becoming deeper, i realized how unrealistic the idea of god was. Instead I believe in a superior power. It's not a specific higher being that created all life today but rather the Universe itself. It's always changing and shifting, It's an infinite process that keeps on going. We, being the people on Earth are just a small part of that process.
Since I learned about Charles Darwin's theory on evolution it has changed my way of thinking completely. I actually like the Buddhist religion a lot. They do not worship a god.  It's almost like a lifestyle than a practice of religion. They meditate in search for enlightenment.
Well I don't meditate, but i am searching for the same thing. That being Enlightenment, or absolute truth basically. Different people have different opinions on what it is. Most want to live eternally, including myself. I don't mean living to be a million, but to make myself known through my actions and what I'v done. I'm not going to go out and become a public speaker or find a cure for a major disease, but since I'm going to die someday i am not going to let myself become unknown when i do. I plan to live eternally through my family. I am going to do my best to have children and raise them to become proper members of society. I want to leave a piece of myself with them, so that hopefully when they have children it will be passed along to them.
I am scared when it comes to raising my child. Like any parent i'm just afraid to see them get hurt in the world we live in today. weather its heartbreak from a boy or girl at school, falling off the swing, or even seeing them lose someone important to death's hands. I lost my mother at a young age, so I just want to make sure my kids don't have to go through the same heartache and have to grow up without a real mother figure. Although the best i could do is teach them right from wrong and hope they make the right decisions.

So I'm new to this.

Well, I'm young but I believe I'm making the wise decision of wiping away "Facebook" from my life. Many people around me have been hurt, bullied and even have had their relationships meddled with due to Facebook. I personally have never had a problem like this on the site, but i wanna see if i can make communication outside of Facebook work again. We made it work before Myspace and Facebook were invented. why not now? I have never blogged before about my opinions and ideals but i feel now is a good time to do so. This is a new start for me and the first step away from the social networking scene so I am not entirely sure how this even works. If anyone reads this and can take sympathy on a poor computer illiterate girl I would appreciate some advice.
