First off I would like all reading my fabulous blog to take a look at the layout. Doesn't it just say earthy to you. No, no trees were harmed in the making of this layout. No, not even as references.
Today I'm just going to talk a bit about health class. Now I know what you were thinking because it's the exact same response wired into the minds of every other pubescent on the planet. Sex. Sorry, but last time I checked, sex wasn't health.
So why said wired response? Why is the class that is supposed to rid our faces from zits and keep our hands washed, filled with yearly death statistics and facts about long term damage to your liver from alcohol addiction. Whatever happened to shower once a week and don't pick your nose? It's something I've never been taught by the system. It's something I'd sure like to see back.
Is teaching us every name on the street for cocaine really going to help us resist addiction? Is teaching us about STDs and 'long term relationships' really going to cut down the high teen pregnancy statistics?
I think not.
So why doesn't anybody question the big cheeses around here. We're all sent to school (or most of us are) but no one is asking us what we want to learn or what we beleive.
Maybe the reason we're learning all of these things in school is because our parents are failing to teach us that drugs are bad, alcohol is dangerous, fifteen is not the time to become a parent?
No group of parents I've ever heard of haven't uttered a 'Drive safe' about every time we leave the house.
It's time we asked ourselves what we truly beleive and stop asking our curriculum what we beleive. If you think it's high time to start a family than by all means go for it. (that is total sarcasm, NOW IS NOT THE TIME!) but if you know what you beleive, than who is a school to tell you that you're wrong.
What if I don't know what I beleive? Well than I guess it's time to do some thinking. It's not that hard. If you know, than you know, if you don't than weigh the options, think of what feels right, then ask why it feels right and see if your reasoning is justified. If not than you've found out part of who you are.
I guess I'm diving pretty deep on a first post but I'm just sick of people being for the environment but not knowing what that means, and I refuse to listen to anyone about climate change with a cigarette hanging off their lip.
In short, if your parents didn't teach it too you, your gene pool is already a losing ticket, so don't try.
JUST KIDDING!
In short, don't trust whatever is shoveled down your throat. Always know what you beleive and don't. Maybe someday we'll only be taught what we need. (Yeah right!)
