People always tell you about how hard situations can be when you get older and they tell us of all the things that have happened to them with friends and drugs and sex, etc. But it doesn't actually sink in until their words actually become reality.
Throughout the years i've never had to deal with these above mentioned situations, but as i've turned 18 i've started to see an extreme shift in the teens around me. Around me each and every day are people swearing, and to be honest it's quite difficult to get away from. I have best friends getting high every other weekend, friends who used to be close that are having sex with their boyfriends and, actually, a heap of other people who don't even mean anything. The amount of people having sex at my age scares me, it actually blows me away because of how shocking it is. Drugs seems to be the "in" thing at the moment, i'm pretty sure at least half of my year at school has experimented with drugs or at least just tried it. Alcohol is one of the most realistic things i'm exposed to at my current age--now that my friends are turning 18 and are legally allowed to drink, their values, innocence and integrity have gone out the window. People who always vowed they'd never get into that sort of stuff are now bragging about how much they drank and how many times they threw up (very attractive...).
All i want is to be a good girl; innocent and clean.
