Living life the adult way

Okay, so this post is essentially about things/people I dislike/can't stand. Through the course of this post, you'd notice that the number of people exceeds the number of things. Anyway, continuing with the post, I'm dedicating this mainly to people who're a victim of the dreaded disease, as one of my most favorite persons says, 'regressive thinking' .

I've specifically called regressive thinking a disease. I think of it to be a mental illness. Harsh as this may sound, but people who tend to think of everything to be yet another method of a teen to defy their orders are either ill, or a bit touched in the head.

You sit on the laptop for late hours, and the only thing that strikes the patients is PORN. Look people, we are NOT sex-crazed teens who'd pounce upon every available opportunity to, umm, satiate our desires. And neither are we born perverts. If we were to watch porn, we'd do it right under your nose and you won't have the faintest idea about it !

The second, and highly irritating, presumption of theirs involves facebook. You're on facebook, talking to a guy, discussing everyday matters like movies, school, career fields, et cetera. And BANG ! There they are. The humble parents, complete with the we-know-what-you-are-upto look, suddenly whispering in your ear, " Yeh kaun hai?" ( Who's this guy? ) Look, we're old enough to realise that talking to random people on the net is not the least bit safe, and isn't a healthy practice at all. We don't NEED you spying upon us and prodding us until we honour you with a rather rude reply. And then there's the my-teen-is-out-of-my-control look in their eyes. Hmph.
Fine.

The third, and probably the MOST annoying of them all, is their tendency to relate absolutely anything and everything to culture and "our way of life" . Look, if we go out clubbing, or sleepover at our friend's place, or talk to guys, it doesn't mean we are breaching our cultural limits ! It simply means we are changing with changing times, just like you did, when you were of our age. Please don't think of everything to be our way of defying you.

All said and done, I know this post can't possibly bring about a revolutionary change in the way this society is run. But hey, atleast it helped me let out all the bottled up grudges ! ;)
