Teens and Provocative Dancing

Call me crazy but the dancing that teens do today is off the wall. I've found myself going to less house parties for obvious reasons of fights, shootings, and the atmosphere. What really turns me away is the provocative dancing that goes on at most "juke jams". Girls are popping their booties on the floor, wall, and ceiling! It's crazy because the only person getting anything out of all of that rump shaking is the guy standing behind the girl *who's legs may be cramping*.  

But don't take my word for it, just take a look at the video and by minute three the booty shaking begins...

It's a "Sexting"

Time to be real for a minute. Most of us *yea, I said us* are guilty of sending a sext. For those that are unfamiliar with what a sext is click here. It's a risky habit that teens and older people take part in  everyday. There are plenty of people out there that think sexting is harmless, feel it's demeaning, or may not even care.

Is this what we've come to? Really!?

Open Relationships-Shouldn't be Open

     To make things as plain as possible, I think that open relationships are the most ridiculous idea ever originated by the human race. For those of you out there that’s unfamiliar to with what an open relationship is, it’s like being in a committed relationship and your boyfriend/girlfriend wants to bring someone else in the relationship or even have someone to their self on the side (with you permitting it).

     For one, if you can’t stick to one then why make a commitment? The proper thing to do is to just be single and mingle. Women are emotional creatures, which means if they agree to “open up the relationship” they’re just doing so in order keep their man happy which is really sad.

     What’s even more ridiculous is that teens are doing this more than adults. Hormones are rushing and the signals aren’t getting to their brains. Any blind person can see that teens having open relationships is like holding a lamb chop in the water where jaws resides.

     Stop being so ridiculous people. A lot of drama can occur because of this and like Mary I’d say “No More Drama”. So it’s as plain as telling someone if you’re no longer interested or want to see what else is out there. Either way breaking it off is better than opening up the relationship.

Don't Want to be A Statistic

Constantly young women fall victim to statistics. Whether it's being in an abusive relationship, getting pregnant, or being used for sex they all have one thing in common-they're being counted. No one likes to be in the 90% of unmarried teens that have had sex already or the 50% of women that never report an incident of abuse with a spouse. A technique used to victimize these young women is the deadly "smooth talk". So many of the innocent fall for the soft spoken words that are meant to ease their minds and manipulate them. Sometimes it may even seem inescapable. The reality of it all is that in some way we are all statistics and we just have to try our best and be the *good* statistics.
