Good is the new ‘bad’

Continuation…..

It has never seemed more apparent that those who do not engage in stereotypical risque behaviors are considered to be the rebels-the outcast. 

It has been interesting and mostly disturbing how the most common things that we were told not to do as children or even what our parents were told not to engage in have now become the standard for which someone is deemed normal. 

Things such as:

Experimenting with drugs

Having premarital sex

Underage drinking

Clubbing

Getting pointless tattoos

And so on have all become something that is to be expected when people talk about their youth, a lot of those who engaged in those behaviors have a harder time “transitioning” into adulthood. Of course this is not to say that anyone who has participated in these things never come out of it or become better people, but it isn’t necessary to “explore” these avenues. The purpose is to prevent others from making the same poor choices, not everyone can “handle” being in these dangerous situations and come out of it without any “scars” whether emotionally or physically.

 

We have literally becoming a society that if enough people do participate in a certain act often enough, we automatically dismiss it completely or let it go with a “slap on the wrist”. 

We cannot continue to let things that we know are wrong and potentially dangerous from becoming the new norm and then criticizing and judging those who do not participate in these behaviors. It is shame that those who choose not to drink are first asked if they have or have had issues with drinking before because of the fact that the person does not want to drink alcohol. It’s a shame that it has hard to find any women or men who stay virgins until their wedding nights. Don’t let ANYONE make you feel like you are weird or not cool because you chose to keep your body holy and not give in to what everybody else is doing.
