at our age.

could mom be from show business years ago? urgh. she's always on with the dramas! it irritates my eardrums everytime she has something to tell about how i come too late, dress like this, dress like that, eat too little, sleep too late, wake up too late, and all the usual things kids my age have been engaging to. Mom, what's your point? this is what it is 'in our age'!

have your ways been compared to the ways your mom or dad's ways when they were as young as you? if you already had, i suspect you got annoyed.

-they said that boys before, court girls for 1-2 years.

"pause, delete. generation by generation, man's life span decreases. and you gotta work on "some things" [like that stuff] a bit faster. we're not saying that having a guy wait that long is bad, but talk about 'you' liking the guy too. of course, after you think you know enough of him, you could accept him as your boyfriend. and if would only take you about 3-4 months [that's a lot of time too. parents, please consider.] to do that, than why gamble for all those years? besides, it's how you handle the relationship the next months and years. pressure drives us to unlabel ourselves "hard-to-get." the main point is saving time, utilizing that, and driving yourself out of pressure."

-they say girls before are home before 5:00 in the afternoon.

"Ahuh, you gotta be kidding. what about night classes?"

-honey, those things don't exist before.

"I scored. since night classes didn't exist before, than they have nothing to stay out late for. In your time, girls were 'too' demure, and too 'conservative' that they wouldn't even hang out at bars [these things don't exist before too. (say, "duh")], disco, they weren't even allowed to drive porsches and stroll manila all night. they had 'no reason' to go out at night before, that is why."

-they say kids before don't put clothes and gowns in the spotlight at prom

"oh, okay, but don't count us in. i'm a frustrated prom queen wannabe! for girls my age, gowns and bling blings do matter. even for boys, our gowns matter. it shows off our social standing, which [at times] also matter."

-they say kids before don't have a buncha 7-liner grades

"mom, you have our basics now as your majors before. the human brain's structure hasn't change. it still does look the same before and now, including membranes, cells that account, and it does have the left and right brain still. what i mean is, our studies have larger pressure and our lessons are for smarter people, smarter than you were before. that is why. imagine brains with the same level, struggling to tolerate different levels of subjects, it is most probable that the brain with the easier subjects would have greater grades, and that the one with the harder subjects would have lower grades."

those are just some of a lot of things they murmur about. ask me, i don't get why is still make sense to other people. i'd encourage them to just adopt the fact, that we are in a different generation so they don't get alienated.

were they not oriented that a day like this would come? and don't they know that what they were having before already passed out? tell me if this doesn't make sense. it annoys me.
