An opinion from a teenager.

I do not drink. I do not smoke. I do not screw, unless I am using a screw DRIVER. Now I hear there are people, adults who have been whining about how Dakota Fanning was in this movie.

Here's something. I'm a 16 year old BOY. Technically 17 in several days. I'm what girls would call very funny, talented, not BAD looking, hell! I even have a damned set of abs on me! I'm 5'11 and 135 pounds.

Here's something that will blow you away.
I'm a virgin. I have morals. I'm actually more adult like than adults themselves, because they too can be irrational, yet I control my feelings of impulse. Believe it or not, as few as there are out there, there are teenagers JUST like me.

I'm Atheist! I don't have anyone telling me what I should or shouldn't do! And I hate reading books, so I don't follow what books tell me.

I listen to mostly 70's music, because I'm old fashioned, and I like it. I hate the overdramatic, yet I can sit around and occasionally crack a joke about it here and there.

Like I did today with Eclipse and 3 of my girl FRIENDS. I noticed Dakota Fanning and decided to come to her IMDB and noticed that "THIS GIRL SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S A BAD INFLUENNNNCE" "Jesus Christ wouldn't allow THIS!"

Now I'm sorry, but Uh.. That's a bit shovenistic.

You raise your kids. Leave her alone. Her parents will face their future consequences if the choice was bad.

Now I personally challenge any of you so called "Adults" who plan to challenge MY logic. My completely unbiased logic.

I don't hate adults, I actually respect all of them. Most of them. The ones that can think with their head, which I'm suprised to find are at the same ratio as teenagers.

If she was ready, she was ready. If not, she will face the consequences and she'll learn, what's been done has been done.

A bit of a strident, off putting tone, but well written. Most 16 years can't write anything more than OMG or LOL or GTFO.

IT'S ABOUT MONEY, DICK!!!

I realize that this is an old thread, but honestly...what the hell does the fact that you don't drink, do drugs, or have sex have to do with anything? You believe that you are more of an adult than most adults because you don't do those things? I'm slightly confused. I don't do drugs and I'm a virgin but I can be incredibly impulsive at times. Also, I truly don't believe that doing things like drugs or having sex makes one "immoral" or a bad person or immature for that matter. It truly depends on the reason. If someone is curious, they are going to experiment. What strikes me as truly pathetic is when a person (regardless of age, although said person is usually a teenager) does things like that simply to fit in.

I'm 17 and I don't have much in common with most people my age, and in my opinion it's not really something to boast about. I truly feel as if I'm not 17, or that I'm not supposed to be. I feel like I'm looking in on people my age and observing. Of course I can be immature at times but I don't dwell on absolute bullsh*t. For example, who cares about the scene kids in your town. If they want to wear tight a*s jeans and dye their hair colors that are, seemingly, ridiculous they are going to. Some people mature faster than others and they get their priorities and everything sorted out sooner than others. Some need to experiment with drugs, sex, and just pure "weirdness" or "craziness" in order to find themselves. I used to be extremely moody and just plain pathetic but I've changed. We are constantly evolving and I feel like it's somewhat stupid for you to praise yourself on the fact that you're so "moral" and "adult" compared to most people your age. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, and this is just my personal opinion, but I believe that people need to make mistakes. People need to do stupid and idiotic things in order to progress.

Maybe you agree with this, seeing as you mentioned how idiotic it is for people to blame society, television, books, movies, video games, etc. for their child's flaws and/or misbehavior. Okay... I tend to ramble, this is really ending in a completely different place than where it started. I'm done.

I drink, I do drugs, I grind up against guys in clubs, but you know what? i'm a decent dude. drink, drugs and promiscuity don't equal a bad person. just a fun one.

Well I don't think that doing those things automatically makes you fun...but I agree that it obviously doesn't make you a bad person.

Yaaaaaay. Would you like some kind of reward for being such a special snowflake?

I swear, it's like I have to hold up a "Sarcasm" sign for everyone.
