yup, i have a feeling...

so, this should be a semi-decent blog. Just when I think life is kinda boring, something happens to stir shit up. Is it just me or are teenage girls becoming really slutty at a younger age.? It's really upsetting to see this, especially when it ends up hitting close to home....like mine. Well, my husband's cousin is 15 and I've known her for 4 years and in those years, I have seen a dramatic change. Yes, change is good and sometimes its the most terrible thing to happen. Pretty much over the past six months this girl has begun some major lying, drinking, smoking, sexual activity...I think you get the idea...Almost runs rampant everywhere these days.
Anyways, all over MySpace she acts like a whore basically, posting embarrassing pics that would make parents everywhere cringe...I guess it is cool to be a slut and degrade yourself as such. But I had had enough. Especially since she has always seen my husband and I as the cool young parents that she can tell anything too. She has told me stories of drunken nights, a possible date rate, and I've heard more than I've ever wanted to. I'm sick of being a vault of secrets and I think I suddenly hit a breaking point. Overall, I told her aunts the problems I've seen and what I know; everyone was already concerned with her. And everyone is so sick of her snippy and ungrateful attitude; even I've become part of that group. I guess for once I had to be the bad guy and end up on someone's hate list. She now equates me with the other people she can't stand that must be out to ruin her little party fun. I'm sick of sitting back and watching her embarrass herself. She complains to me constantly that people call her a slut, and honestly, all the pictures I've seen lately make me say, "Can you blame them?" She pretty much fuels the fire and has caused her own drama. The most annoying thing (and yes, I still encounter this at almost my mid-twenties) is drama. And it is so true: "Those who say they hate it, are the ones that create it." Amen. I've heard her say she hates shit talking, yet she pretty much lives and breathes for it. I don't get the reasoning behind all that. Needless to say, when the family confronted her, she got angry and denied ever doing anything wrong. Wow, did that surprise you? Sad thing is, she is only hurting herself. I don't really want to go into details, but this girl did have a rough past, but come on, you can't keep on toning down the situation and using that as an excuse. It gets old.....Oh well. All I can say is, I've made my share of mistakes in life and I just hope she doesn't make any severe ones that follow her around forever. She is going down a scary path, but hey, she's 15, she knows it all, right?...
