I’m one of the only truthful virgins in my sociology class. I am also one hardcore doesn’t drink dweeb. When I was asked about my lackluster actions I was rocking the stage fright and had no wit to come by. I hold no hostilities toward those that chose beer and sex over Machiavelli and Mac and cheese, nor do I judge them. That's totally their own thing and I'm fine with it! Everyone finds their own way to par-teh, you do what you gotta do. But up till that point intercourse issues never bothered me and Getting wasted for me personally was wicked boring. In my point of view there are so many ways to spend free time, I just dig the anti-social scene. When I told the class that I would rather play hide and seek in Shopko than get trashed at a party, I acquired looks that could kill even Chuck Norris. Why does what I do In bed matter to the outer world of my peers. I’m still a hip human being with a knack for humor. Does it make a difference if I did Jimmy in the janitors closet? It seems like there is an excess of pressure (especially for girls) to stop riding the marry go round and start riding in a whole new perspective. I guess because I don’t feel like masticating hotdogs and contracting some new STD that makes me an alterna-girl and a conservative stickler. One answer to a class question and I’m the hermit of Hempstead High. None of us are clones, we all see things in a different light and people just have to cool it with the judgement.




Blame hormones and the media. I'm waiting until I find THE ONE, not for religious reasons, but for love. Hormones tell us to procreate whenever possible. And even with contraception, our subconsious knows the risk of failure and hopes for the best/ worst. For more information, see the Playboy series The Sexual Male. It provides profound insights into the chemistry and function of the brain when in the pursuit of sex.
As for beer, it numbs you. It makes you not realize just how bad it is for you, so you really are a lot stupider drunk. And by the description of your peers, they might not be able to afford to lose too many brain cells.
THINK! It's not illegal yet!
I'm glad that you still consider yourself an indivual. I know peer preasure all to well and am also glad to rise above the pressure. For the only person you have to answer to as you go to sleep is yourself.
They might feel bad about what they do and don't want someone to compare it to. It's easier to say, "everyone is doing it so it's no big deal if I do." Than, "well she doesn't do it and is cool, but I do it anyway and I'm a fine person too." Although, the latter is more true. It doesn't make anyone a worse person for not "waiting to find THE ONE," which is another socially induced daydream. Society, media, peer pressure, and the like constantly tell poor teens that they need to be hot and have sex to be cool, and that those who don't are nerdy and weird, but at the same time people give the message that those things are BAD and that people who do them are some kind of sex-crazed teen hooligans. Neither of these is true... it doesn't matter if you have sex drink smoke weed or none of the above. Though one life style might be personally healthy, neither is better. It is just what people do - if you want to screw or drink, go for it, but if you rather not, that's fine too. Do what you want to do, and what comes naturally and you will be happy. Don't force anything on yourself, or deprive yourself of what you want. Just listen to you, and not others, and be happy.
