Week 2: Teenagers Scare The Living What Out Of You??

        FALSE FACT #1: Teens spend too much time texting.
Heck yeah we do....compared to our parents and grandparents as teen because THEY DIDN"T HAVE TEXTING! Who says we text too much though? What studies are being taken to prove this? Texting was evented in 1995. I was born in 1995. We were literally born and raised with texting. Who else had it to say they texted less? Sometimes people get a tiny bit funky with their texting, but not everyone. If you can text without looking and create a perfectly composed 3 page message, YOU text too much. As for most of us though we use texting to commuicate with loved ones (or not so loved ones) to express questions, concerns, and feelings. I honestly think that texting brings people closer together.
   
       FALSE FACT #2 : We all love Jersey Shore.
Just because Jersey Shore made $30,000 an episode in season 3 doesn't mean all of America's youth just can't get enough of Snookie's huge hair and The Situation's attitude. Of course there are the occasional teens that tune in weekly for the next Jersey Shore episode, just like there are still rare Days Of Our Lives fans, but there just are less fans of both these shows than Hannah Montana followers. Jersey Shore is, at the end of the day, Trash TV. To be honest, if I were to create a dictionary my definition of Trash TV would have "Examples: Jersey Shore, Jerry Springer." There both horrible shows, especially Jersey Shore.
   
         FALSE FACT #3: All teens don't know how to mange their money.
My grandparent are the cheapest people I know. Honestly, at their house you can't even throw away half a spoon full of melted ice cream without my grams and pop flipping out. Once I spent $10 in candy on my boyfriend for Valentines Day and my g-ma acted like I was buying a Lamborghini. Perhaps $10 may have gone further in her time, but lady, times have changed! Just because a tootsies role isn't only a penny anymore doesn't mean I'm spending like Angelina Jolie on a shopping spree for her six children. A little cash spend is a healthy act, in my opinion.

          FALSE FACT #4: Violence is adolescents' strong suit.
What is this bologna? I don't enjoy lighting things on fire or seeing unnecessary blood shed. I have never hit anything (besides my garbage cans on accident with my car) that didn't deserve it. I most certainly have never "beat someone up." Teen fights usually consist of a lot of hype, possibly some shirt removal with men, and one or two hits. No blood, no guts, hardly any glory.
   
Alright, guys I've got to go buy some $105 flats, hit the G.T.L, and blow something up....cause I'm a teen and that's just what I do. So g2g. ily n I'm sure I'll brb.
