Teenage Parties

All day yesterday, Andrew talked about the party that he went to on Saturday. It was one of those where everyone gets drunk and makes out. My brother was really annoyed that his friends that don't drink (or make out) left early but he wanted to stay longer and 'socialise'. He was saying how it's annoying that people who don't drink are not as social. Which is actually true (from my experience). Andrew didn't drink (cause he's on acne medication with which you can't drink alcohol) and didn't make out. He was saying that his friends were only snogging 'slutty girls' which made me annoyed and I had to have a 'talk' with him about double standards. I told him that his guy friends who were making out with the 'slutty' girls were being just as slutty as the girls since they were doing the exact same thing. I told him that he shouldn't sink to that level and smart girls would respect and like him more if he didn't do that kind of stuff. I think he got the point.

It was actually a bit disappointing that he couldn't figure that out for himself. He knows that he shouldn't do that stuff but he doesn't realise why, which is the whole point. It's like the only people who didn't drink were religious and were doing that because their religion told them not to, not because they knew the effects of alcohol. It just annoys me how people can't think for themselves.
