Acting too old for their age? - VGF

SwampDog82 · 07-26-2004, 06:48 PM

Alright, as many of you know, I'm in sixth (going on seventh) grade. I've noticed this a lot.. girls and guys "hook up" and consider "going out" hugging a girl/guy every day after school. I think this is ironic because to "go out" you have to actually do something like go to a movie, dinner, etc. My peers just go through girlfriend/boyfriend one after the other. This one girl has had like, what, 15 "boyfriends"? I just find it odd..

I did like this one girl from 1st-5th grade until I actually told her, and she didn't give a damn. I decided after that to NOT "like" any girls because it's just too complicated.. jeers, jokes, comments, fighting, etc. It just gets to be too much but I kind of feel a bit out of place because when people say, "So who have you gone out with this year?" and I reply, "No one." the jeers and comments commence.

I just think that they're acting older than they really are... anyone have any comments?

I laugh at them. Laughed, actually, cause I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Yeah, I have a comment: 8th grade is the time you will start to fully understand dating.

There is an old saying to people who likes to gloat.

"Every Dog has it's day."

Your going to have your day in the sunlight. What now you got to do is focus on what is really important going on in your life.

Ask them what the point of this is. Relationships are just to "be cool", and by doing this, they'rr not being cool anyway. Relationships are about someone you care about.

And you know what? If they laugh and makes jokes about this, then are they really your friends?

SwampDog82 · 07-26-2004, 08:43 PM

Well it's the fact that if I avoided this then I'd have no friends at all : P

It's like a virus infecting everyone, so I guess I'll just have to pass it by. I mean, I'm close to some girls but I'm not going to say "I love you", because that's not true. I mean, of course, I'd love them in a friendly way but what others consider it is really strange.

I'll just get on with my life [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's also where people form super cliques, determined to be the best and inevitably become the biggest *******s I've ever seen. Kids and their obsession with being adult. Is there any maturity in their motive? Not an ounce.

**Prince Toad** · 07-26-2004, 09:22 PM

Here's what you can do:

Get used to it, chump. They'll be having sex next year and you won't. Sucks for you.

That's when kids are in their most deluded and ignorant state. They form all these idiotic ideas and feel they aren't normal unless they're doing them. It's those same morons that are pregnant soon after.

An 8th grader understands dating like a newborn understands using a toilet.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 07-26-2004, 10:35 PM

I heard some whore in my school was pregnant. And we're going to be juniors...

Parrakarry · 07-26-2004, 11:44 PM

I hate that SO much. Last year... well... two years ago actually (7th grade), some girl was talking about how she had one boyfriend for five whole days. And I was like, "So what's the POINT if it's just for five days?" She said something about learning what we liked or some other BS... it makes no sense to me.

And PT's got a point.

Oh well... hey, I actually had a girl tell me I'd probably "get some" eventually, so I shouldn't be too unhappy. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cornell J · 07-26-2004, 11:48 PM

Ah, Middle school

Trust me, you truly won't understand true love for awhile, maybe abot 2-4 years, when you hit that 10-11th grade in high school, then it'll hit you, you'll fell it, and you'll know it

Mariosrpg89 · 07-27-2004, 12:29 AM

I agree that it goes on way too much and in middle school got annoying. I think that it's alright to have a boyfriend/girlfriend in 8th grade or 7th, but they shouldnt say they are "going out" if all they are doing is calling eachother that.

High School I think its alright also, and to go "out", like I have, but these days it goes on way too much and it's like the new key focus in school is to have a b/f or g/f. That annoys the hell out of me. It's stupid to think that way, and anyone who thinks you must of had like 10 girlfriends already are idiots.

Cornell J · 07-27-2004, 12:40 AM

Eh...I don't know what kinda school YOU ALL are going to, but as far as I know, at my school, and most I know, b/fs and g/fs aint the main premise with the kids, it's a little deeper, in context and well literalness, than that.

Rather than go with each other, they wanna **** each other, you know, but there are some with morals, and I know Andre, Ollie, and DeLon, better not be frequently doing that without me knowing, or I'm whoop your little asses.

True love in Grade 10-11? Very Unlikely.
