Kids These Days (part 1 of ???)

That was a new record for notes, at least since I restarted this new diary. Thanks guys, you all rock. I want to chat some more about drugs and medical stuff in general, and respond to your comments, but right now I just want to take a quick break to rant, for the first of what will be many times, mark my words, about today’s youth.

Generation Z never ceases to baffle the shit out of me. I’m "only" 26, but there are days when I feel like an old, old man, looking down at today’s kids and teens and shaking my head in sheer bafflement…

My cousin just got dumped by his first girlfriend. My cousin is twelve years old, for chrissakes… the girl who dumped him is eleven… when I was eleven years old, I didn’t even know what a relationship was!!

But it gets better… I tell you, girls become women young nowadays… she didn’t just dump him like you’d expect kids to, like "You’re not my boyfriend anymore!" and run away, etc. She actually decided that it would be best if they took some time "on hold", during which they are not together, and yet not single and not free to see other people….

Like hell!! I’ve seen girls twice her age try to pull that old stunt!! Yeah right bitch, let’s be "on hold", and while I try and be Mr. Chivalry and win you back, you’ll be off giving my best friend a handjob at some party the very next weekend…

No WAY am I going to let some preteen slut-in-training treat my cousin like that… he’s a good kid, really bright, funny, athletic, popular… he’s a little football star already too, not that I follow any sports, but I’m always hearing my mother talk about how his team has never ever lost a single game. This kid has the making of a Prom King high school football star quarterback all over him, no way is he going be put "on hold" like a phone call to the credit card company!!

I texted him back tonight, when I got a message on my phone telling me the situation. I told him not to take that shit from her, that’s he gotta stand up and say to her that they have to either talk it out and solve the problem and stay together, or make a clean break now. Obviously she’s not happy in the relationship though if she wants to relegate him to backup boyfriend while she takes the time to check out the market, and he could have his pick of a dozen other girls willing to be a little more loyal to him, and he deserves that.

And now that I think about it, when he first told me about this girl, she had another boyfriend… and that wasn’t that long ago, either… I think he’s about to discover his first trampy bitch the hard way… =/

Anyhow, the point is, it just baffles me how young these kids are, to be pulling all this Melrose Place shit already… when I was 11, all I knew about was computer games and television… not dating and breaking up and playing the field… kids these days, geeez…

Of course, back in my day, we didn’t have no fancy mobile cellular phones with the fancy text messaging and the gigamegs of interwebs and everything… if we wanted to break up with our partners, we had to walk forty miles to their house, in the snow, in bare feet, and say so in person – and the trip was uphill both ways, and the roads were paved with sharp pebbles!!
