I think that I use the word "classy" much too often, but I suppose it is because that is the way that I want to live my life and the way that I wish the world could be. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, to be classy is "having or reflecting high standards of personal behavior."It depresses me to see the way that the teenage population of today's world lives and acts. To be entirely honest, I am very much sick of hearing about how so-and-so made-out with who. I'm sick of hearing dirty jokes and crude language, and it kills me to see 18-year-olds smoking all around campus. I know that I can't avoid it all, but sometimes I wish that teenagers could just see the light. I am still a teenager, and I know that I still have a lot of growing and maturing to do, but there are just certain things that I feel are common sense. Those who are classy in their behavior stand worlds above those who don't to me. I appreciate it when boys don't tell crude jokes, I appreciate it when they hold the doors open for me and watch their language because I am around. The whole "I don't care" attitude is driving me crazy! :) This has been built up inside of me for the past 5 weeks as I have lived up here in Logan, and I am finally just taking out my steam via blogger. It is so fascinating to watch the way teenagers live once they are free from parental direction. Some take the higher standard and better themselves even more, and some take full advantage of the fact that there are not many rules that they have to follow anymore. It's sad, really. Wake up, generation!! Get your head in the game! We have to be the next world leaders and business men and women of tomorrow. Sluffing off school, making dirty jokes, and taking on an irresponsible attitude are not going to help you.
