A Rather Weird Thought

Majority teenagers nowadays, or kids (take note) perhaps, there’s only 3 main things on their mind : Study, Play, Love. For some, it might be even, Play and Love only, and some, it’s ONLY love. You see, it’s a rather unique thinking, per say. I always thought during our teenage life, there’s only 2 main things to do while you’re still a teenager : Play and Study. Love, on the other hand, it’s an minority aspect.

Nowadays, more and more teenagers are in a relationship. And, the worst part is, the age of being in a relationship gets smaller and smaller as years goes by. It’s like 11 years old, 12 years old kids being in a relationship is a common thing nowadays. HA. I personally, find this very weird. Kids ( age <11) tend to be “maturing at the speed of light”, according to them. They start wanting things that they are not really ready for. They just see other people doing it and they just want to do the same too. I dont think they really understands the concept of it.

what is this actually?

As an example, A(11 years old) is in a relationship with B(11 years old). I don’t think they know what to do next after being in a “relationship”. They’re just together, just for the sake of it. Well, i might be wrong as i never really witnessed both 11 year old kids commit to their relationship. I always thought being 11 years old is all about the fun, you know, playing ice man with friends at the ground floor of your apartment with other kids, and all sorts of this type of games, but i never thought 11 year olds nowadays have FUN by being in a relationship. I doubt they even know the concept of it. Heck! Do they even know what is love actually?

But, one very obvious change that I witnessed is the way they talk. It’s totally absolutely different than how i used to speak when i was 12 or 13. At the age of 10, 11, they start cursing and swearing – not knowing what does that even means or maybe they DO KNOW! THAT’S JUST EVEN WORST!! To me, they start cursing and swearing to attract other people’s attention. They want people to think they are matured by doing so. Sadly, that just makes them look even more immature! There’s quite a few 11 year olds cursing and swearing on FACEBOOK ( the place that could attract the most attention ) when they get some quiz results or so. HA! I am actually, ANNOYED by that even though i do not care that much. I am annoyed by 11 year olds who talks like a 17 year old dude, “knowing everything about love”, “cursing and swearing”. And the worst part, when you tell them they’re immature, they curse and swear saying that they are SO MATURE that stating that the are even more matured than you!

By the time those 11 years old get older, around 13 years, they’ll have like a GAZILLION ex-es. But, there’s no point to that. Moving on to the older kids, around 13, 14 years of age. Now, they’re so called “maturing level” “reaches the top of the mountain”. They think they are like, 30 years old, who understands everything. And the worst thing for these teenagers is that, when to talk to older teenagers, 17, 18 years or so, those 13 years old talks to them as if those 17,18 years old are younger and more immature than them! I mean like, COME ON! what’s with that? And sometimes, they might even SAY IT OUT, they’ll go something like this. “Hey dude, do you know you’re soooo immature? You’re more immature than a 13 year old” Unfortunately, they don’t know that THAT being said, it actually makes those 13 year olds look even more immature than before! – insulting people without taking looking at that particular figure you see everyday in front of the mirror. I mean like, c’mon! If one were to insult somebody, please, use your tiny brain to make sure you dont get the words that you insult about other people RIGHT BACK AT YOURSELF. Ha! well it is, to me, one of the most embarrassing thing to be insulted with – your own words coming out from your mouth.

13 year olds love life. HA! This is interesting. By now, they “KNOWS EVERYTHING” about love. And, they’ll start commenting on other people’s love life, again, without consideration that they’re just talking about themselves. A reminder, i’m not saying ALL 13 year olds are like that. I’m NOW, saying some. And, when they are in a relationship, they start using all those lovey-dovey words that they pick up from someone else to say to their boyfriends/girlfriends. They USED those words without even knowing the consequences of it. EXAMPLE! A boy says to a girl, i love you forever. And, after a week, they both break-up. And so, what happens to the word forever? When they broke-up, the girl could use the sentence ” i thought you said you love me forever “, and the poor little dude would be most probably left speechless. Aint that just adorable? C’mon! They think they’re shakespeare? Do they go, “shall i compare thee to a summer’s day?” “But thy eternal summer shall not fade”??? HA! I dont know about the poem thingy, but i think you understand the message i’m trying to pass on here.

USE your damn words with care and responsibility, and accept the consequence of using the wrong words. They usually just say it to please their “spouse“. What if they meet someone with a glass-heart? If they break up with them after saying all those sweet words, especially the word FOREVER! How do you think their “partner” with a glass heart would respond to them? It’s really a life-ruiner ( maybe i went a lil too far? HA!) It seemed like they’re love drunk. If this is the trend that will keep going on. Then i dont know what the future is going to look like now. Well, to me, majority of them would REALLY mature, and understand more about this, maybe a small portion would not, but, they’ll still learn someday.

Another example is those teenagers. Most probably a boy meets a girl on some social network, or vice versa, And they start talking, talking and talking, then suddenly, for whatsoever reason, they start to like each other and eventually getting together. Bear in mind, they both had never met each other in real life before. What if the boy plays the girl, and when he decide to stop playing that girl to play other girls, the girl got heart-broken. And gets very sad. I came across some news some time ago that a girl committed suicide after the boyfriend ( never met before) dumped her. Is it the boy that is to be blame for this? The answer is no. The person that is to be blamed is both of them. They never should have gotten together especially when you never even met “your other half” in person before. Some couples, are having long distance relationship. Like, staying in different states or even in different countries. These couples are not that bad compared to those who they had never meet before and call themselves couples. But, still… I mean, they cant spend time with each other every week. I could, like, visit their partners maybe once every 2 to 3 months, but still, i dont think they’re in a healthy relationship. Anybody could simply, cheat with other girls/guys anytime! As their partners are not even with them most of the time. And, it’s kinda hard to maintain a good relationship with each other.

HA! I’m sure you readers by now would think i make it seemed like i sound like i’m sooooo mature and understands EVERYTHING. Well, no. I’m not completely matured (in fact, heck,  i dont think i’m even 30% matured! HA!) and i dont have a mindset of a grown-up. But, all those that i stated is just how i feel. I’m not criticizing all those people, i’m just stating my reaction/opinion over them. I do not, i repeat, do not know everything, in case people use this against me  And as for me, my life aint that complicated, heck, it doesnt even contain a little relationship complication. I do know one thing though :

P.S. If this post offends you then you must be one of the above. HA! If you feel insulted by this post, i just can only apologize. But, it’s just my opinion towards these things. Heck, it’s my blog, i can express my thoughts (till a certain limit) anyhow/anyway i want to! And oh yea! Dear spm markers (you readers), what do i score out of 10 for this essay?  Blogging is what i call studying smart!

79 days till SPM.

Gotta run! Chao peeps!
