Maturing Faster?
I was in Target the other day buying something. I don't actually remember what i was buying. I think i was buying some new boxers or something. lol. I needed some new ones or something. Anyways... For some reason i was in the electronics section. I was through the new releases in the music department. As i was looking, i saw what appeard to be a mother and daughter going down the line looking at movies. At one point, the mother stopped and picked up a movie and looked at the daughter, and the daughter just looked back at the mother in disgust. The daughter goes "OMG! Thats such a depressing movie. I can't believe you want to see that." Now... this might be expected of some daughters. But not of a girl around the age of 8 or so. That's right. An eight year old. Now... i could be off. But thats what she looked like. I guess kids are growing up faster and faster.
Speaking of kids growing up faster and faster... I was at the movie theater yesterday seeing The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It was a pretty good movie. Anyways. Before the movie started, i had the urge to get a bag of Recese Pieces. So i left the theater and proceeded out. When i got the door of the theater, there was a group of about 4 or 5 boys. If i had to guess, i would say they were most likely middle school age. Maybe 7th grade... 12 or 13. Now... i know puberty starts at 12 or 13. But thats when it starts. I didn't think it was supposed to be done by 12. As i was walking by, i heard two of the boys talking. Then the other one said something and when he said it, i kind of took a double take. He had the deepest voice. I swear. He sounded like a radio announcer. I looked back and he looked completely normal. You wouldn't guess for a second he had that voice. I was like... WTF. I think parents are feeding their children steroids. Back when i worked at OCS, i noticed the same thing. Middle school aged boys are materuing a lot faster than normal. But then i guess you have to consider what is normal. They developed a lot faster than my class did. But when you look at the class behind the current 7th graders, you see a very undeveloped and immature class. They look like elementary students. I guess some classes are just more mature than others. It just makes you think.
My psychology professor made a comment concerning this topic the other day. She said that today's generation is mateuring and ageing faster than the generation before it. She said that it has been scientfically proven. I don't exactly remember why. But it would be interesting to find out. And that concludes today's random and pointless post. Have a nice day!
