I am glad Facebook was not around

when I was a teenager. I cringe at the emo relationship status updates. An excerpt from a cousin of mine (15):

"i'm sick and tired of your attitude. i'm feeling like idk you. you tell me that you love me then you cut me down. and i need you like a heartbeat but you know you got a mean streak makes me run for cover when you're around and here...9;s to you and your temper yes, i remember what you said last night and i know that you see what you're doing to me tell me, why?"

Of course, I could probably go back and find old diaries of mine and read the same thing. But at least they weren't public!

Re: I am glad Facebook was not around

  • My younger cousin is like this and it drives me insane. She is so emo and every post is drama filled. I too have diaries of torchure and teen angst so I am with ya! Thank god it's not out for the internet to see!

  • My 14 yr old stepdaughter does this too.  You would think her world is ending because some boy broke her heart.  I find it amusing.  I remember being that age too and feeling that way.  Like you ladies said though, it was all private back then.  Now they put it out there for the world to see. 
  • How bad is it that I know it's the lyrics from a Taylor Swift song? Am I still allowed to post on this board?

     

    Anyway, yeah I totally know what you mean. You should take a screenshot of that page and include it with a b-day card for your cousin when she turns 25 :) 

  • Cheesy.

    But not so bad because they aren't her own words.  Who hasn't quoted a song before?

    I am impressed and frightened by you, Pocky.

  • My 2 litttle SIL's are on FB and friends with H. I have not added them and they have not added me and I'm totally ok with that.

    I don't want to see their teenage angst. I dont' have a filter. (ok I have one, I just struggle with mine.)

  • Hee hee, I didn't know that. But there are a minimum of 3 of these a day, as well as a day not too long ago where she declared it was "OVER FOREVER" between her and her boyfriend, only to be happily "in luv" with him again 2 hours later. Ah, teenage horomones!

    i don't know if i can see you today anymore.

    i have an angsty blog like that from when i was, um, still a teenager but much older than 15.  and it's still floating around out there.  maybe it's time to take it down.

  • damn, pocky. i <3 taylor swift, but i didn't even recognize the words.

  • 1. THANK GOD there was no fb when I was in hs. 

    2. About 50% of my status updates are song lyrics.

    3. At least she used you're correctly. Yes

  • OMG, the FB status update was making me laugh and cringe at the same time. 

     

    Now I?m laughing because they are Taylor Swift song lyrics, ha.  Too funny.  I guess that?s not too terrible, but still emo-esque.

  • I never thought I'd ever hear Taylor Swift called emo.
  • I <3 Taylor Swift, too.  Embarrassed

    Her eyes scare me, though.

  • I like her songs. 

    Her dancing is painful to watch though.
