Generation ???

When I was in 7th grade (age 12), all I thought about was 4 square,and what was on the lunch menu. Today, apparently 7th graders talk about girls, or boys, beer pong, smoking pot, and Guitar Hero. I admit, talking about boys, girls and Guitar Hero is relatively normal, but for 12 year olds to talk about smoking pot and playing beer pong is not, in any sense, normal. I don't even think I knew what beer pong was when I was their age, or was the game not invented yet? Granted, I was probably a little slow with "the know," but I still think these kids know way too much for their years. I guess this is what you get when you have a generation growing up to the likes of '16 & Pregnant,' 'Juvies,' 'Sweet 16,' and whatever bull-crap MTV airs.

I think this is hitting me a bit harder than usual, because this is my younger brother I'm talking about. His friends are the ones talking about drugs and alcohol, his friends are the ones that can influence him, and his friends are the ones that can change him. But of course, as the Nazi sister, I am not going to let that happen.

So what does this mean?

This means we're having a talk. I might need a stick, or some sort of hitting device, but those are optional.
