I was just cruising around on the Today Tonight website and I noticed this poll: Is age 17 too young to get married?
Obviously, it was answered by adults, with Yes being the majority vote (81%) and no being at just a lowsy %19.
Isn't it amazingly unfair? That adults presume everything about the every day teenager, when they don't know jackshit. Just because they were once a teenager, doesn't mean that what they experienced as a teenager is the same as being a teenager in today's world. For example, take a boy and girl who are about 15 who have sex and whoops something controversial happens and the girl gets pregnant. Now today's parents would say 'They're too young to be engaging in those things and I bet they didn't even talk about contraception!' But that is not true. I believe that if you are ready to have sex and your with someone you trust and blah blah, that you should do it. You'll have to experience it sometime in your life, and why not at the height of your sexual peak? And with the contraception thing, they teach us all about it in school so the parentals lives are easier.
Then there is that saying 'Boys will be boys'. I know that when I got into trouble for sex in the boarding house, the woman said 'As if Ben isn't going to tell all those rowdy year 9 boys, he's a boy and all boys are like that.' Now secretly in my head I was thinking 'Excuse me bitch, you know nothing about Ben so how DARE you say that, mole.' But to minus the swearing and without being rude I simply replied 'Ben isn't like that' and ugh, she LAUGHED in my face. So much for telling the truth. Does anyone remember that ad with the girl who played in the car with her friends and wrecked her parent's farm? But in the end she told the truth and admitted it was her and then everyone was happy because 'Even though you knew you were in big trouble, you still told the truth.' Ha, but unfortunately that is a "From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints ad" Haha, If christian parents are like that, then fucking baptise me and put me into a christian foster home.
When I watched Today Tonight, the adult world is complaining on how young drivers are inexperienced (no shit sherlock, they've only been on the roads for a few years, even months). Just because a majority of car accidents are people ages 17-24, means absolute shit all. Unlucky them, the fucking parentals can't say shit about us being inexperienced because it's not like we've been driving all our lives! There they go again, comparing us so called kids to them. We're not fucking perfect you know!
Now I come back to the poll question of 'Is age 17 too young to get married?' In my opinion I would have to say 'No fucking way.' As long as you feel you are with a person who treats you right and loves you etc, then why the fucking hell not? Maybe those 17 year old people feel that they don't need to live a life first. Arg, I'm so sick of stories on where the adult world complains about those young hooligans who got married when they are only 17. It's bullshit really, what ever happened to Love Fucking Conquers All?
Hate today's world. It's full of stereotypical shit. When will the older generations realise that today's world is different from what they have lived in.
