Teen Drinking Culture
I feel like drinking culture in teens has gone out of hand. All the time I see teens rely way too much on getting drunk to have fun, and/or drink way too regularly (as in multiple times a week). Look, I get it, drinking is something people my age do and thats totally cool. I have no problem with people drinking or like people getting drunk every now and then, like bro do whatever the heck you want. But literally all the time I hear people my age saying stuff like Yeah I cant wait to have my drink tonight or Oh I cant wait to get wasted so I can finally have fun, as if the only way they can have fun is by getting drunk to the point of embarrassment? But literally when an adult does this, thats called being an alcoholic, but when a teen does it its them just being a teenager! hahaha no. People shouldnt be normalising this kind of behavior. Teens should shouldnt even be drinking at this age without parent permission, yet theyre sneaking out to drunk every other weekend as if its normal. IT'S NOT NORMAL FOR SOMEONE IN 16 17 AND UNDER TO BE REGULARLY DRINKING AND GETTING DRUNK OF A REGULAR BASIS. Its just not normal. A drink every now and then is totally valid and I definitely understand if Im at a party and I see someone drunk like every now and then. Thats not my problem. My problem is when they rely on it for every social event or when they act like it's normal for someone our age to be drinking on a Tuesday night alone in their room.
Again if someone wants to get wasted every other day then thats their own personal opinion and do whatever you want bro, but I just find it sad when people act like alcohol is the only way they can be happy, like drinking yourself to sleep every night and on the way to school is normal. Like Im sorry but is that literally not the whole plot of the first movie of Trolls? Where the Burgens or whatever say they can only be happy if they eat a Troll? But then it turns out theyre just stupid and they just actually need to have a good time and to stop limiting their happiness to eating a Troll? Like bahaha If people are relying on alcohol to make them have fun or be happy then they are quite literally living the plot of Trolls. And when I am ranting about all of this, I would like to repeat that the people Im referencing and the groups of people Im talking about are quite literally children, sixteen and under. I think this is such an overlooked issue that a lot of people just blame one oh but theyre just being a teenager. Alcohol abuse (for people who arent familiar the term, it basically means regularly drinking multiple times a week, continuing to drink alcohol despite the concerns of others, as well as spending a lot of your time drinking) should NOT be as normalized as it is, saying that it's just them being teens is just encouraging and normalizing the behavior that even for adults is unhealthy.
ALSO WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH THAT MESSES WITH DEVELOPING BRAINS???? Like obviously if you're 15 or over a supervised amount every now and then does nothing. But theres a reason why the government regulates alcohol consumption (unless allowed by a parent on private property), its because it literally messes with your hormones and growing electro pathways so much that it can force your mind into a state of depression. It literally CHANGES your brain chemistry because your brain isnt even developed enough to handle it. BUT PLEASE no one take this as me trying to shame people because this stuff genuienly concerns me and i swear ladies and gents its from a place of love and respect also this is my website so leave me alone respectfully.
OKAY DONE bahahaha sorry gang bc that was a long rant but highkey important so erm.. Take note? (do what you want this is just my opinion please don't cancel me I can't be next).
LOVE YOU BABES STAY SAFE XOXO

Texting/snapping people
If anyone who knows me in real life reads this then they know Im not winning any awards for being a good texter. You could be one of my closest friends and it still might take me a few business days to text you back, weeks if its on snapchat. Like gang I would be such a horrible online friend, like it could potentially take weeks depending on where you text me, and you know what? Some people get really annoyed or upset when I dont text them back instantly over such an important thing, like how boring is your life that youre literally mad at me for not replying to your ceiling snaps on snapchat? And I would get it if you texted me something important and it took me ages to respond or if I left you open, because thats different. But how are you going to get mad at me OVER A STUPID SNAPCHAT TEXT. Like if youre texting me on snapchat you cant really need me that much.
Talking or even texting can be tiring with some people, like you dont always have to reply straight away, you don't always have to be active on social media all the time. That's exhausting. And in saying that I know Im probably one of those people who you just cant text everyday because I always send way too much because I have a lot to say. Like Im that person you can send one text too and I will send three back. I yap a lot. But I dont get mad when someone doesnt reply to me straight away, heck if someone took a whole week I don't know how much Id care.
And some of these people that get upset about it Im not even close to. Like you barely talk to me at school how are you over here in my face saying you feel like I hate you because I always leave you on delivered. Baby please, I dont think of you enough to feel any sort of way about you. You are completely irrelevant to me like why do you care..?
ANYWAYS that was such an irrelevant rant but i feel as if a valid one
LOVE YOU ALL LOTS XOXO

People Need To Stop Acting Like Being Busy Is A Personality Trait
I genuinely think people have started treating exhaustion like some kind of competitive sport. Like why is everyone constantly trying to prove they are the busiest person alive. Youll ask someone how they are or how their weekend went and the’ll be like Oh my gosh I only got 3 hours of sleep, I have 7 assignments due, I worked all weekend, I havent eaten since Thursday and I think my left eye is twitching from stress hahaha. LIKE OKAY????? WOW ARE YOU OKAY??? DO YOU NEED HELP????
And before anyone gets offended YES I understand being busy is a real thing, I would like to argue Im a pretty busy person. I have at least two things everyday after school, Im involved in a lot of things and I think people being busy and stressed is obviously a real issue people struggle with, like babes we all go through it. Its totally normal and valid. School is stressful and people have lives and jobs and sports and family stuff and whatever. Im not talking about people who are genuinely overwhelmed. Im talking about the people who weirdly enjoy acting like they are moments away from collapsing at all times. Like they say it with PRIDE. THATS NOT SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT.
I swear some people act like relaxing is illegal. Like youll chill for a second and their like urg I could never be that lazy. BRO LEAVE ME ALONE I JUST SAT DOWN THIS ISN'T EVEN AFFECTING YOU!
And WHY does everyone glorify not sleeping??? Since when did basic human functions become embarrassing? People will literally brag about getting no sleep as if that makes them superior. Babe you are not Batman. You are fifteen sixteen and failing chemistry because your sleep schedule looks like a microwave timer.
Also can we discuss how impossible it is to have a conversation nowadays without someone mentioning how busy they are. Like Ill literally say Oh I watched a movie last night and someone will somehow respond with Wow I wish I had time for that. Okay?? Sorry I experienced joy for two hours I guess.
I think social media lowkey made this worse because everyone wants to appear productive all the time. Everyone has this mindset of if I’m not constantly working then Im wasting my life which is literally insane because humans are not robots?? You are actually allowed to sit down and watch YouTube and eat pasta and stare at the ceiling dramatically for a bit. Guys we are literally teenegers you can relax and enjoy life. Like imagine if toddlers acted like this. Sorry guys I cant play blocks today Im on that grindset. Actually horrifying.
And I know this sounds hypocritical because I TOO complain about being busy. Im literally writing this while avoiding homework. But at least I know Im being dramatic. Some people genuinely think having chronic stress is a flex.
Anyway moral of the story GO TO SLEEP. Sit outside for five minutes. Watch a movie. Calm down. Your Google Calendar should not look like the schedule of a small government official.
OKAY IM DONE before someone tells me I “just don’t understand the hustle mindset” bahahaha.
LOVE YOU GANG TAKE A BREAK XOXO

Why is Everyone Suddenly a Therapist
I don't know when this happened but somehow every single person my age now speaks entirely in therapy terms. Like you cannot have ONE normal conversation anymore without someone pulling out words like gaslighting, toxic, narcissist, emotionally unavailable or trauma response. Babe he forgot to reply for two hours he is not psychologically manipulating you.
And before anyone gets mad YES these are real things. Obviously toxic relationships exist and mental health is important and therapy is genuinely helpful for a lot of people. I go to therapy and it can be so helpful. I m not making fun of actual issues. I m talking about the way people online discovered psychology words and now use them for literally EVERYTHING. Like no Jessica, Emily is not emotionally abusive she is just really annoying.
I swear social media has convinced everyone that every mildly uncomfortable interaction is deep emotional damage. Like someone will say... my friend cancelled plans, and the comments are immediately like Cut them off. Protect your peace. HELLO??? Maybe her grandma died?? Maybe she had homework?? Maybe she just didn t want to leave the house because it was raining and she looked ugly that day. There are SO many possible explanations before we start acting like we re in a courtroom drama. Like people can be so over dramatic and use these words willy nilly and probably don t even know what it means.
Also can we discuss how everyone suddenly diagnoses people now? Like why are fifteen year olds speaking like licensed psychiatrists. Someone will literally be like... yeah my ex liked attention. And everyone responds classic narcissistic behavior. WHAT DO YOU MEAN CLASSIC. THE GUY WAS FOURTEEN.
And don t even get me STARTED on therapy speak in arguments because why do people now argue like Instagram infographics.
I don t appreciate the energy you re bringing into my space right now.
BROTHER JUST SAY YOU RE MAD.
I honestly think people are becoming scared of normal human conflict as if its not natural. Like not every disagreement means someone is toxic. Sometimes people are awkward. Sometimes they overreact. Sometimes they say stupid things because they re tired or stressed or hungry or literally just dumb in the moment.
Humans are weird. That s actually very normal.
And I think the internet has made people analyze themselves WAY too much too. Like every emotion now needs a label and a five paragraph explanation. Sometimes you are not emotionally detached due to fear of vulnerability. Sometimes you literally just want to be left alone for an hour for no reason, because guess what people? You don t even need a reason.
ALSO WHY is everyone obsessed with protecting their peace now. The second anything becomes slightly inconvenient people act like they need to disappear into the mountains and heal spiritually. Honey Imma hold your hand and say, your friend asking if you re free on Saturday is not disturbing your inner tranquility.
And again before people attack me, I absolutely think mental health matters and therapy or counseling is totally important and understanding emotions is healthy. I just think maybeeeee we need to stop turning every tiny social interaction into a psychological case study. Hey maybe your 16 year old situationship isn t a manipulative mastermind. Maybe he s just a teenage boy with the emotional intelligence of a paper towel.
OKAY DONE before someone accuses me of invalidating their healing journey bahahaha.
LOVE YOU GUYS STAY HAPPY XOXO

Why Are Group Projects Always A Social Experiment From Hell
I genuinely believe group projects were invented to test how close students can get to losing their minds before they snap.Because explain to me WHY every single group project has the exact same character lineup every time.
You have:
the one person who does absolutely nothing the one person who suddenly becomes a military dictator over a Canva presentation the person who says I can help with whatever and then vanishes spiritually and physically and the one poor soul doing 97% of the work while pretending they re totally fine with it!!
And somehow despite teachers claiming group projects are meant to teach teamwork, they actually just teach you which people would survive approximately four minutes in a real-life crisis.
Like I swear the second a teacher says get into groups the entire classroom atmosphere changes. It becomes The Hunger Games. Everyone starts panic-looking around trying to figure out who won t destroy their grade.
And there is ALWAYS that horrifying moment where you realise your friendship group is academically incompatible.
Because why is my best friend suddenly acting like she has never opened Google Docs before in her life.
Also why do people in group projects communicate SO weirdly. Nobody speaks like a normal human being. The group chat starts with:
Hey guys!! :) Then slowly over three days it devolves into: Can someone PLEASE finish slide 4. >:( Guys the assignment is due in two hours. Hello???
And don t even get me started on the people who contribute one singular sentence then act like they carried the entire operation on their BACK.
Oh my gosh WE worked so hard on this.
WE?????? Who is WE? Because I personally remember seeing you online playing Roblox during the entire planning process. And somehow presentations are even worse because why does every group suddenly forget how to speak publicly the second they stand in front of the class.
There s always:
one person speaking way too quietly one person reading directly off the slide like it s their first day on Earth one person trying to freestyle information that is completely incorrect and someone awkwardly holding the cardboard poster doing absolutely nothing.
Actually traumatic.
Also I hate when teachers say pick your own groups because that sounds fun in theory until you witness the emotional warfare of people getting left out. Like suddenly the classroom becomes a dating show elimination round. And if the teacher chooses the groups?? Oh that s somehow worse because now you re paired with a guy who thinks research means copying the first sentence from Wikipedia.
I think the reason group projects annoy me so much is because they reveal way too much about people. Like after one assignment you suddenly know. who procrastinates, who panics under pressure, who secretly controls everything, and who would absolutely abandon you in a survival situation.
Anyway shoutout to the students carrying entire assignments while their group members say good teamwork everyone!! at the end. You are stronger than the military.
LOVE YOU ALL XOXO

Why Do People Suddenly Forget How To Walk In Public
I genuinely need someone to explain why basic spatial awareness has completely disappeared from society. Like WHY do people walk in giant horizontal lines that block the entire hallway. ESPECIALLY at school. Its like every corridor turns into a human barricade for absolutely no reason.
And before anyone says anything YES obviously people are allowed to walk with their friends. Like if thats a crime lock me away too, Im not saying everyone has to march single file like Victorian children on a field trip to visit the queen. Im talking about the people who somehow manage to take up the physical space of a moving fridge. Like Ill be trying to get to class and suddenly theres six girls walking at the speed of a dying snail directly in front of me while discussing something incredibly urgent like what colour highlights they should get.
MOVE.
And why do people always stop walking in the WORST possible places. Like the middle of doorways. Staircases. Directly outside classrooms. The top of escalators. Areas where humans are very obviously attempting to function. Like ARHHHH PLEASEEE STOPPP ITTT IM JUST TRYING TO GET TO ENGLISH!
I swear some people walk around like NPCs waiting for their next line of dialogue.
ALSO WHY does everyone suddenly lose all awareness the second theyre on their phone. Like babe if you are texting while walking at least LOOK UP every now and then before you accidentally collide with a Year 9on the way to the bus at full speed. And can we discuss slow walkers for a second because I truly think they are one of lifes greatest tests of patience.
Especially when you physically cannot get around them.
Like you know when someone is walking slightly too slow but not slow ENOUGH to overtake naturally, so basically youre trapped behind them doing this awkward half-speed shuffle trying not to breathe down their neck but trying to get home in time for your afternoon coffee you have been dying for since that one friend started talking in first period. Actually horrifying experience.
And dont even get me STARTED on people who randomly change directions without warning. No glance. No indication. No survival instincts whatsoever. Theyll just suddenly steer left like a confused Roomba and now everyone behind them has to perform emergency evasive maneuvers.
Driving rules genuinely need to be applied to hallways at this point. Indicators. Speed limits. Maybe a small learners permit situation for some of the year 10s.
Because explain to me why I need the reflexes of an Olympic athlete in water polo just to get from Art to Science. I also think this is the one thing i can thank drama for because at this point Im using full on stage movement and planning a full sequence to get to the cafe without crashing into a year 7. New rule guys.
You LEARN to move efficiently or you perish.
Meanwhile at school some people stand in the exact center of the hallway chatting like theyre hosting a TED Talk. No Susanna not everyone in the corridor wants to hear about how Henry fell off the roof of a party you were at. And somehow the people blocking the path ALWAYS look shocked when someone says excuse me. Like sorry babe I didnt realize this corridor was privately owned.
Anyway maybe Im just dramatic and deeply impatient but I truly think society would improve if people simply LOOKED where they were going (bwhaha I am so hypocritical).
BWHAHA THAT WAS ALOT and imma stop ranting before someone accidentally walks into me tomorrow and I lose all remaining emotional stability.
LOVE YOU GOREOUS GIRLS (or guys or neither?) XOXO

What Happened To Respect For Seniors
Okay I genuinely need to know if Im becoming one of those bitter old people prematurely or if juniors these days are actually terrifying. Because WHY are Year 7s all the way to Year 9s talking to seniors like they pay taxes. And guys pause, because obviously not ALL juniors are rude. Ive met heaps of lovely younger girls at schoo and some of them are genuinely so sweet and polite and normal, like aw my babys. No. this is not directed at them. This rant is specifically about the tiny terrifying subgroup that walk around with the confidence of a divorced 45 year old man.
Like I swear when I was in Year 7 if a Year 11 even LOOKED in my direction I would panic slightly. Not because they were scary but because seniors just automatically seemed older and cooler and more mature. There was like… an unspoken respect there. Or like in year 9 I would literally feel like the gods had spoken upon me and that this was my moment to shine if a senior even had a brief conversation with me.
Meanwhile now Ill see a Year 8 roll their eyes at a senior for existing too slowly in a hallway.
HELLO???
And dont even get me STARTED on the attitude because why are some juniors so aggressively confident. Like babe you learned long division six business days ago please calm down. I think social media has lowkey, no HIGHKEY made this worse because everyone acts older now. Like some Year 7s genuinely speak like theyre in a reality TV show. The amount of times Ive overheard a junior saying something wildly rude with their full chest is actually concerning. Like in Year & I was rocking a ratty low ponytail a rainbow sequined face mask and a bare face. Now I swear every junior looks like theyve done the slickest slick back, a casual face of make up and lashes… THEIR 11… AT SCHOOL!
When I was younger if a senior told me off I would spend the next three to five business days reflecting on my life choices.
Now theyll literally argue BACK.
And the thing is its not even that I think seniors deserve worship or whatever because obviously older students can be annoying too. Some seniors act like theyre the CEO of the school because theyre sixteen and own a tote bag. I get that. But theres a difference between not worshipping seniors and just being straight up disrespectful to everyone around you.
Like basic manners are FREE.
ALSO WHY are juniors so loud now. And I know I sound approximately eighty years old saying that but genuinely why does every corridor sound like a zoo enclosure at feeding time.
Youll walk past a group of Year 9s and suddenly hear: OH MY GOSH SHUT UPPPPP followed by someone screaming for absolutely no reason. Like sweetie i beg shut up before I get so irritated i take you and put you in a pickle jar and pickle you until your green and smell like vinegar.
Actually sends me into cardiac arrest.
And maybe this is controversial but I swear my year group was way more awkward at that age (most of us anyways). Sure we werent exactly quite but we were a hell alot more nervy or at least someone polite.
Now Year 7s walk around with more confidence than fully employed adults. I dont know if its honestly impressive or horrifying or maybe probably both.
And again Im not saying juniors should fear seniors or bow down dramatically when we walk past. I just think maybeeee there should be a tiny bit more awareness that if someone older asks you to move out of the doorway or stop yelling in the library, they are probably not attacking you personally.
Sometimes people are just asking you to behave like a human being in public.
Anyway maybe Im just becoming ancient at the ripe old age of sixteen but I truly do not remember juniors being this bold when I was younger.
Like why do I feel intimidated by people born in 2014?
MORAL OF THE STORY uh.. Idk i dont like juniors?
LOVE YOU GUYS STAY NICE AND RESPECTFUL XOXO

How is Everyone At School Secretly In A Situationship
I genuinely do not understand what happened to having normal crushes.
Like when did relationships become SO confusing. Why does every single person now have some weird half-relationship going on where nobody knows whats happening but somehow everyone is emotionally exhausted. Back in the day people used to either:
- date
- have a crush
- or move on with their lives.
NOW its all like…
Yeah we talk. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
And yeah sure i understand the talking stage thats a fr thing but… why the heck is your talking stage TWO FREAKING YEARS LONG! I get relationships are complicated and labels can be stressful and whatever. Im not attacking anyone. Im just genuinely fascinated by the fact that nobody at my school seems to know if theyre single or not anymore. Like someone will say…
Were not together but were also not NOT together.. You know?
Like babe why are you asking me this is your relationship, wait pause it isnt because YOU ARENT IN ONE AND IF YOU ARE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!
And somehow situationships always involve the exact same activities too. Sending snaps constantly, awkward eye contact in sport games, random late night conversations, one person getting emotionally attached, and absolutely ZERO communication about what is actually happening.
It is literally how to make slime no glue, no borax, no air, no toothpaste, no hands, no bowl, no earth, but in real life.
ALSO WHY do people always act so casual about it when they are clearly losing their minds internally. Youll ask someone if they like a guy and theyll be like:
Oh my gosh no hahaha its not serious. Meanwhile they have analyzed the punctuation in his text message for three consecutive hours.
Like babe you are not chill. None of us are chill. And can we PLEASE discuss how emotionally exhausting talking stages sound. Because why are people basically dating without any of the stability of actually dating. And I get not wanting a label or not wanting anything but then why are you even talking to someone in that way in the first place? Because you dont want anything but you clearly dont want to be friends but you dont want to be dating but you dont want him to talk to anyone else and you dont like anyone else and then it just goes around and around and around.
Its like all the stress of a relationship combined with the legal protections of absolutely nothing. One minute everything is adorable and romantic and the next minute someones best friends cousin apparently saw him standing too close to another girl near the canteen and now everybodys crying. But they dont bring it up to the guy because THEIR NOT EVEN DATING
Actually horrifying system weve created for ourselves.
And somehow EVERY situationship ends the exact same way too.
Either:
they randomly stop talking
one person gets hurt
or they date for approximately two weeks before the girl says to the poor guy that they should just be friends after a approximately half a year of talking.
I am convinced there is genuinely no other ending. And why is it so much pressure? Like if someone leaves you on delivered for two hours suddenly your friends are conducting a full FBI investigation.
He was active 12 minutes ago. Maybe hes losing interest. OR MAYBE HE WAS SHOWERING??? MAYBE HE HAS A LIFE???
And the thing is I actually think crushes are cute. Relationships are cute. Romance is cute. Teenagers being dramatic about love has existed since approximately the beginning of human civilization.
I just think maybeeee we need to stop creating relationship categories that sound like unresolved government paperwork. Like either date him or release each other back into the wild.
Protect your peace guys dont settle for a six month long talking stage.
LOVE YOU DARLINGS STAY BLESSED AND SINGLE (or if not im proud of you babes) XOXO

Some People Have the Personality of a Bare Pretzel and They Refuse to Admit it.
Why Does Everyone Think Basic Human Behavior Is Cringe Now. I genuinely think we as a society have become deeply terrified whimsy. Like WHY is everything suddenly cringe. You could literally say you enjoy something in a normal human way and someone will look at you like you just confessed to living in the walls.
Oh my gosh you actually like that? YES??? THAT IS HOW INTERESTS WORK???
And, YES obviously some things are embarrassing and its totally opinions based. ITS OPINIONS BASED ITS OPINIONS BASED. Im not saying we should all start posting 2018 gacha life wolf edits unironically (gacha life is highkey peak those singing battles and bakudeku was peak child hood bahahaha). Im talking about normal harmless personality traits suddenly being treated like public crimes.
Like people are so obsessed with appearing nonchalant now that theyve accidentally developed the emotional range of a brick. Nobody reacts to anything genuinely anymore because apparently enthusiasm is socially dangerous to the teenage kind. AND the thing is the SAME people who call everything cringe somehow think the driest most recycled humour imaginable is the peak of comedy. And look I get it if you find that funny bc I wont lie i have made a joke like that a time or 6 or 7. BUT IT ANNOYS ME WHEN THATS THEIR ONLY THING AND THEN THEY DOG ON ME FOR MAKING A GOOD FUNNY JOKE.
Like someone will repeat a TikTok sound for the 400th time in a completely flat voice and everyone acts like theyre the funniest person alive.
HAHA Bros cooked
Erm what the sigma.
Chat is this real.
OH MY GOSH WE GET IT. JUST SAY YOU HAVE NEVER DEVELOPED A PERSONALITY!!!!
And listen Im not saying memes are bad, like i enjoy a six seven here and there, even a vaping is not tung tung sa cool or whatever like guys. I quote stupid internet things too. Everyone does. But some people genuinely have no personality outside of regurgitating TikTok humour like malfunctioning NPCs.
Like please. Form an original thought. Im begging. Just one.
ALSO WHY do people act like being weird is a personality trait while simultaneously being terrified of actual individuality. Because the people calling themselves so random and chaotic are usually the most copy-and-paste humans youve ever encountered. Like wowww you wear jorts, drink energy drinks, post blurry Instagram stories with flash, and say core after every sentence. Revolutionary stuff guys.
And the second someone actually DOES something unique everybody suddenly gets uncomfortable.
Someone has a niche hobby? Cringe. Someone speaks passionately about something? Cringe. Someone dresses differently? Cringe. Someone makes a joke that isnt copied directly from TikTok? Public execution apparently.
Like sorry not everyone wants to communicate exclusively through recycled reaction images and ironic detachment. I also think irony culture has genuinely broken peoples brains because nobody commits to ANYTHING anymore. Everything has to be layered in seventeen levels of sarcasm so nobody risks seeming uncool.
People will literally whisper I fear… before every opinion like Victorian ghosts trying not to get assassinated for showing emotion. And dont even get me STARTED on dry humour because some people genuinely think saying something in a monotone voice automatically makes it funny. Like no offense but staring blankly and saying crazy work every five minutes is not comedic genius.You are not an underground indie comedian. You are a Year 10 boy with a fringe.
And honestly I think people are trying SO hard to appear effortlessly cool and detached that theyve forgotten being genuine is actually what makes people interesting. Like the coolest people I know are the ones who are openly passionate and weird and expressive. They actually CARE about things. Like bro I love when my friends have weird little niche hobbies and could just talk for ages about it to try get me to understand.They have hobbies and opinions and dramatic reactions and specific interests instead of just being walking TikTok comment sections. MOST OF THEM DONT EVEN HAVE TIK TOK!!!
But seriously people should develop personalities and find themselves hobbies that they genuinely feel passionate abut and love, doesnt even have to be niche like heck if its sports or the trolls franchise (Trolls is a fire saga everyone go watch Trolls back together right now). Anyway maybe Im just dramatic and deeply intolerant of copy-paste humour but I genuinely think people need to stop acting like personality is embarrassing. To be cringe is to be free dont be afraid to show whimsy
LOVE YOU GUYS XOXO

What Actually Happened To Loyalty In Friendships
I genuinely think being loyal to your friends has become a lost art. Like WHY is everyone so weirdly two-faced now. And before anyone gets offended WHY ARE YOU OFFENEND? Like how horrible would you feel if your friends talked behind your back just for the fun of it? And obviously everyone has the right to vent about friends SOMETIMES. If your friend annoys you occasionally and you vent a little to a trusted person, fair enough. Because personally I am always venting to these two friends of mine who don't go to my school, because if I didn’t vent to them I would lose mine. But it's controlled and they keep me accountable for my actions. It’s not like I’m complaining to anyone who will listen?
But I’m talking about people who are CONSTANTLY two faced with EVERYONE. Like babe if every single friend you have is apparently horrible… maybe why are they your friends in the first place. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
Like I will be sitting there listening to someone absolutely TEAR APART their friend for twenty minutes straight: She’s so annoying
She’s so fake
I literally can’t stand her
And then the friend walks over and suddenly it’s:
OMGGGG HI BABE I MISSED YOU SO MUCHHHH
HOH WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU MISSED HER?! YOU JUST SAID YOU WISHED SHE’D MOVE TO VIETNAM!! I’m actually getting emotional whiplash. Because HOW do people switch up that fast emotionally. It’s honestly impressive in a deeply concerning way. Like some people act different depending on who enters the room. Their personality changes faster than theatre quick changes backstage.
ALSO if you hate your friends that much.. Why are you friends with them?
And look in fairness I get it. I have some friends who I have to be friends with for the sake of inner peace, but I'm not going out of my way to activitly act like their best friend? I would say at school I have a pretty bigish friend group. But I'm not really friends with EVERYONE in that group. HECK dude some of my closest friens dont even go to my school.
And the thing is I have SO much respect for people who are loyal to their friends. Like people who defend their friends when they’re not there or shut down gossip subtly instead of entertaining it and I think it’s something everyone should aim for. Like loyalty is genuinely so important to me, but its hard to be loyal to friends you dont really like.
I think it's imortant to keep a smaller group of actual REAL friends that you genuinely trust, respect, have fun around, AND GENUINENLY LOVE. I honestly don't get how someone can call someone their bestfriend and then talk bad about them because with my FRIENDS? I genuinenly don't play about my friends. Like I love all of my close friends to absolute bits like i genuinely adore them so much. Whenever someone says something bad about them that person is my op. Like people who are my ACTUAL friends know (or i would hope know) that i would never NEVER do anything to intentionally hurt them or lose their trust because their MY people. I genuinely wouldn't and couldn’t sit there and rip them apart constantly because… I LOVE THEM???
THAT IS WHY THEY ARE MY FRIENDS.
And sorry for the maybe unpopular opinion but I don't get the whole “double agent” thing too much either. Like just imagine talking with someone and talking bad about YOUR friend just to get dirt and then tell said friend about everything they said... If you're friends with someone, why are you genuinely hanging out with someone who is gonna talk bad about them? And even if you find yourself in that situation why don't you just STAND UP FOR YOUR FRIEND rather than talking bad about them along with the person just to get the tea? It doesn’t have to be a fist fight either, just a ‘nah i actually lov that person’.
Some people genuinely act like every friendship is a political alliance. And thats not how it works right? Like why is everything so strategic and complicated. Why are we treating lunch break friendships like medieval diplomacy. If someone makes you miserable constantly:
STOP BEING FRIENDS WITH THEM. STOP TALKING TO THEM. STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM.
And if you actually care about someone:
maybe don’t spend every second they’re gone talking about how unbearable they are. If your have a problem with them maybe just bring it up to them?
And it can be hard, like absolutely it can be hard telling people how you feel but thats how you maintain a healthy relationship with someone. I also think people are addicted to drama now because some friendships genuinely seem held together entirely by gossip and mutual complaining. Like do you guys even HAVE fun together or do you just rotate who gets criticized each week. AND PAUSE because I too do enjoy a bit of a debrief a bit of a catch up on whats happening and explaining why your frustration with someone. BUT TALKING/DOING JUST THAT ISN'T A FRIENDSHIP. It's a podcast.
Actually exhausting atmosphere.
Anyway moral of the story if you hate every single one of your friends to the point you talk bad about all of them maybe the problem is either:
You need new friends and will have to find some or wait out highschool in silence
OR
Your the kinda problem (sorry to break it to you) and you just like the drama
THANKS FOR READING IS YOU MADE IT THIS FAR!!!
LOVE YOU GUYS XOXO STAY NICE!
