Light in All of Us.

Friday: January 25, 2013 

So right now, I am either on my way, or at the school of my choice. With the knowledge that I would have no way of coming onto my blog and posting something, especially with company, I made this post on Wednesday/Thursday when I had time, and queued it to post well, now! Either way, I hope that future me is enjoying her stay :D

So the topic I chose for tonight I believe applies to us all- the younger generation and the influences it has. And by influences, I mean horrible ones. I mean, I went to my junior high school the other day to go say hi to my old television broadcast teacher, and holy cow, it is like a mini high school. Girls could pass as strippers, I am not sure how the boys walk with their pants on the ground, and both genders talk like they are sitting on a mountain and everyone should bow down to them. Please, get off your high horse, and come back to reality.

Most of the boys tried to flirt with me, which still disguists me today, and the girls glared at me that, if looks could kill, I would have been dead a long time ago. I felt like a newcomber on their territory, when I had been there way before they had. 

Granted, some kids are still adorable and nice and I want to walk up to them and their parents and give them a sticker that says: Parenting, you are doing it right! and hug them a lot and tell them not to change. Why is everyone in such a rush to grow up and act like you belong in Las Vegas?! I think a lot of it has to do with music. When I was younger, along with the great parenting I had, we had age appropriate music. Now that 'my' generation of music has grown up along with me (except for Taylor Swift who keeps singing love songs.....), I fear that there is no one to fill the gap from baby songs to high school songs. There is no inbetween, so naturally the are going to listen to this ridiculous music. I mean, where are the Lizzie McGuires, the Boy Meets Worlds, and the That's So Ravens of this world?! REALITY CHECK- THERE ARE NONE.

Hopefully some people are with me on this, I have to go, but comment below with your thoughts... I wish I got more feedback because it is honestly so refreshing hearing something from y'all!
