I don't even UNDERSTAND.

Hey world ;)
I just recently finished a really nice, actually, conversation with one of my old pals from me old school :) it was pretty great. But i found out some stuff about my other "used to be best friends" that was kind of shocking. I have known some of these girls for years, it seems like, and others, I actually have, since grade one. And to tell the truth, its really shocking to hear when one of these girls that you grew up with does something so drastic since the last time you've seen them...especially when its totally out of their character-that you once knew.
This happened to one of my really good old friends...
To tell you the truth here- this probably isn't that big of a deal. The thing was, that she made out with 2 totally random guys, 3 years older than her, somewhere. I don't know much details, but that's enough for me.
Last year, when i still went to this school, things were WAY different. No "slutty" activity. Well, there was, I'm sure, but not within my circle of friends. We actually made fun of these girls.
Now, since I left, making out, intimate activities, partying- seem like the NORM.
So this make me think - what the HELL happened over there?
To me, it seems like... popularity is a disease. Everyone has to do something that's cool.
I don't give a crap if people call me a "loser" or "stupid" or "inexperienced" or whatever. But for me, I don't want to do that stuff. You know - alcohol, sex, smoking, drugs. Whats the point in the end? When you're an adult, what do you think - will you regret it more than miss it? I wouldn't want to make out with random guys just for the point of "making out" to get brownie points for your peers, or make you "that much cooler." I would rather make it special. If the special things in life just turn normal, everyday things, how is life special anymore? Isn't everyone saying that they want a better, more special life? Yet they STILL do these things?
I really don't understand what goes in the heads of these girls.
And also, I am SURE glad i left before i became corrupt, too.

Torching the Smoke,
