Too grown...

In a little less than a month my little sister (who everyone thinks is older than me) will be graduating from high school. I'm excited for her...but not for that long ass ceremony I'm gonna have to sleep...I mean sit through. I'm also not very excited to be sitting in a room full of high school kids...because they literally make me want to barf. I see them in the mall, at the movies, and when I go out to eat...and every time I wonder to myself...was I this annoying when I was 17? Kids these days are just waayyy too grown for their own good. The stories I hear about what kids are doing these days from my sister are just astounding! When I was a senior in high school...a typical weekend might be going to the mall, someones house, or the movies and making fun of people and joking around. The kids these days are throwing hotel parties and drinking, smoking, and hooking up with each other AND going to strip clubs! I'm a grown ass woman and I've never been to a strip club. Am I being naive here...or were me and my friends just extraordinarily dorky in high school? I wish I would ask my parents if I could go to South Beach to hang out with my friends in a hotel. I had to beg just to go to my damn Homecoming dance. And when I finally did convince them I literally had to give them the freakin' latitude and longitude of the place I was going to, as well as the height, weight and social security number of everyone who would be in attendance. I didn't even start drinking until I was 20 (believe me I've made up for lost time though)and some kids are making this an every weekend occurrence. Last summer I worked with a few high school seniors and the sh*t they did/talked about shocked me. I mean...why would you brag about going to homeroom drunk and/or high. These kids changed relationships as often as most people change underwear. And these weren't the type of relationships I had in high school...the hold hands, lets get ice cream and a movie, omg we kissed how cute type of relationships. These kids were gettin it in and discussing it openly. Kids grow up way to fast and its scaring me. Why the eff did I see a little girl texting on her G1 the other day. Girl...what are you texting about...the newest episode of Hannah Montana? And not only are they acting grown...but they are looking grown as hell. I'll be damned if I haven't been fooled by many a freshman this past year. You are fresh out of high school...why do you look like a grown ass man. Oh no! I can't talk to you any more...please give me my number back. Thank You. I guess I'm getting older because I'm starting to sound like my parents. Damn...next thing you know I'm gonna be walking around telling people to pull their pants up. Shame. Someone should tell these kids being a grown up comes with grown up problems...
