What Kind of World Do We Live in When a Teenager Is Ridiculed for Doing What’s Right?
Question by Curious Q: What kind of world do we live in when a teenager is ridiculed for doing what’s right?
Hello people of the Internet. Ok, so I’m a senior in high school. Today, I was working on an assignment during class when a classmate asks me, “So what have you done?” I assumed he was talking about the work, so I replied, “On the assignment?” Then he smacks his lips and says, “No. You know. Drugs? Alcohol?” Then I shrug my shoulders and say, “I’ve never done that.” What he said in response to that isn’t really important. What I’m trying to get at is that he (and the other people at his table) were scandalizing me for choosing NOT to pollute my body with drugs. What kind of sense does that make? Anyway, it’s not the fact that they made fun of me that bothered me. It was the fact that they made fun of me for doing what was right. What kind of world do we live in when youth so openly accept wrong doing?
I’d like to add that I don’t think I’m better than anyone. Heck, I have someone special who smokes, but he never makes fun of me, I’d never stop loving him because of it, and he’s even trying quit. I’m human, just like everyone else, and therefore have no right to call myself superior, so why would I? And I know that this has been going on generation to generation to generation. I just wanted to make a point, that’s all. Also, it’d be nice to know that I’m not alone, or am at least understood.
