This is Why You Were Bored as a Teenager

newsweek:

From NurtureShock:

In his new book, Dr. Joe Allen has concluded that our urge to protect teenagers from real life – because we don’t think they’re ready yet – has tragically backfired. By insulating them from adult-like work, adult social relationships, and adult consequences, we have only delayed their development. We have made it harder for them to grow up. Maybe even made it impossible to grow up on time.
Basically, we long ago decided that teens ought to be in school, not in the labor force. Education was their future. But the structure of schools is endlessly repetitive. “From a Martian’s perspective, high schools look virtually the same as sixth grade,” said Allen. “There’s no recognition, in the structure of school, that these are very different people with different capabilities.” Strapped to desks for 13+ years, school becomes both incredibly monotonous, artificial, and cookie-cutter.

“ Already, our children are far too knowing, and their television viewing has long been sucking the innocence out of them. They’ve been subjected to a string of programmes that have corrupted their eager minds: Gossip Girl (screened at 7pm), Skins, Sex & The City and Desperate Housewives.

Ok, let’s keep ignoring any societal factors for these problems and lump it all on entertainment mediums. But what do I expect from DailyMail?

“ This is a song about death and how love relates to death, and the fear of death. It’s kind of about how finding love alleviated my fear of death or my fear of growing old. It was a statement of recognizing my soul’s link to Sherri’s. It’s about how when you really love someone and it’s deep in your soul, after you die the soul endures and that love will burn on. If everything was stripped away and I had to answer after I die—consciously affirm the most important thing in my life—it would be Sherri, the defining thing in my life.

“ That video was awesome. I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean to offend anyone with the acronym, I mean seriously a lot of us call whoever just randomly naded us a name. We normally DO NOT think about what word we use either. So I don’t see why it is that offensive.

Infinity Ward Pulls Controversial “Grenade Spam” Clip - News - GameInformer.com

~Is it that hard to get? It isn’t about whether they intended to offend anyway; those words have a very powerful and damaging history attached to them. I don’t see why you would want to admit not thinking about what you call people; that is just callous and a total disregard to any sense of mutual well-being. It is offensive. That really isn’t up for argument.

NEW!!! HQ! Call of duty modern warfare 2: Fight against grenade spam (via bendystraw626)

~This is an awful video. I’m really disappointed the outrage hasn’t been louder. Not only is the the acronym offensive, but many people failed to point out the sexism in the video as well. Satire of online game culture or not, the video is poor done, and the idea that pussy or fag is acceptable language needs to not be shrugged off. You don’t say, “well thats just the way it is.” No, you actually work towards making that behavior against social norms rather than being the social norms.
