What You're Allowed To Do...

We all know how it feels to be 'locked up' by the pressures of family, friends, and those significant others we have. I mean, we got our parents, which is sort of understandable because they are there to protect us foolish kids, but then there's those times where the things we absolutely want to do, our parents don't let us. That is the motion that really pisses us kids off and most of us complaining and trying to change their minds, but some are so stubborn they stick with their first decision. But what can we do? They are our parents and we have to follow their rules...well...of course... only til we're 18.

Then, there are the pressures of what you want to do with your friends... whether you really want to do it or you are just doing it for them... what is the point of doing things just because your friends are doing them? Why is it supposedly so cool to be like everyone else? I mean, why not just express who YOU are and not who EVERYONE ELSE is? It's so much better, in my opinion, to be yourself and to be different...that's why we're called INDIVIDUALS. We're suppose to be unique. Go on your own instincts when you want to do something... if it sounds wrong then you shouldn't do it especially if you're pressured...I believe that there is no peer pressure..everyone can say no... there's nothing stopping you...if your "friends" threaten something to get you to do that something then they're really not friends, are they?

And of course, there's your significant others... yeah I can't say too much about them...well, they want you to be around them all the time. I'm not saying I don't enjoy it but if someone is going to keep track of you 24/7 and they are not you parents then I don't think it's a good relationship. Your "other" is supposed to be there, but still let you do those things you either have to do or the things you'd love to do. It's basically about control...they want to be able to tell you you can't do anything without them or anything that they don't like. Especially, when your "other" tells you who you can and cannot talk to ... I mean, what is it with people not letting you talk to your friends whether they are guys or girls? I think it's okay to be jealous but not letting you talk to your friends no matter the gender is just plain over jealous. It's not right.
