Highschool girls ....

[Blight]

I'm gonna combine two thoughts here. gubi-gubi's idea of it is hard to have a relationship with a big age difference and onizuka's weirdness of being to old for high school girls.

I have noticed there are very few high school girls I can even have a conversation with now. A few months ago, one of my friends had a party after Fall Festival*. It brought back a lot of friends I hadn't seen since I graduated, but a lot of high schoolers were there too. It is the first time I felt old somehow. Me and my College friends are talking about the war in Iraq, Bush and other political stuff, and the high school guys are starring at us like WTF. I went over to talk to the circle of girls and the college students were discussing their classes, jobs and bills while the HS girls went on in their own conversations about who was screwing who?s boyfriend, who was a slut, and who had on last years fashions (Funny that it was the college girls fashion, cause they didn?t care).

There was a HUGE rift in our attitudes and discussions, and it made me uncomfortable. Even the friendships I had with people in lower classes when I was in high school seem, I don?t know, awkward to me to me now. The situation is creepy to me, not so much because I still think HS girls are sexy, but because of the realization that this part of my life is over and moving on is a little scary. The fact that these girls seem petty, shallow, and just plain dumb to me now, and two years ago I would have dated them really makes me wonder how a person can change so much.

Now before I offend any HS girls on here, you have to realize that these girls are no different than the way they were in HS, just the way I see them is different. So, I?m not calling all HS girls dumb, I?m just smart enough now to see that these particular girls were dumb the whole time.

The conclusion I have come too is that age does not so much mater as your position in life does. If a 20 year old and a forty year old meet at work, don?t mind saying home at nights and are both settled in their career, it can work great (even if frowned upon by society). But change one to going to college, change their area of study to a different career field, and reprioritize their time management and they become completely incompatible because of their different positions in life.

I think I have typed enough for this response; half the people won?t read it since it is so long anyway lol.
