“Young man.” I am not going to use your first name, because what goes on the Internet stays on the Internet. God forbid a complete stranger, who hardly knows anything about you, does something to hurt you that would be awful.
No “young man,” I want you to understand very clear what you did to my daughter and the other girls you decided to “rate,” on Facebook. I need you to hear this “young man,” because some day, you may be the father of a teenaged girl and some silly, unthinking young man, whose parents don’t keep tabs on him, might hurt your daughter, with his stupid actions.
When that happens “young man”, the rage you will feel will be something so new, so strong and uncontrollable, you will find it hard to keep to keep his composure. Most good parents know how gut wrenching it can be to see their children suffer…most.
You see “young man” here is the problem, somewhere along the way, you were taught that girls and women are objects, like your action figures, they are not things that you can “rate.”
Something you may have missed out on. I was raised to respect women and understand they are, get this, believe it or not, human beings too. Women/girls have feelings, thoughts and hurt, just like you “young man.”
They’re not just things you can gawk at on the Internet or gym class.
I get it. It’s obvious that your parents have no control of you “young man.” If they did, they would have been monitoring your Facebook and saw that you were randomly hurting girls that you know for “fun.” It’s all over your Facebook page. If your parents were in fact doing their job teaching you wrong from right, you would know better than to do such a stupid hurtful thing.
The reason this is a warning “young man,” is because I got to it before my daughter. Yes, “young man,” I watch over my children, I monitor their social media, texts and keep on the look out for foolish little shit bags like you and then I make them disappear. You are blocked, you are un-friended and if you try to talk to my daughter the next time you see her you will notice she isn’t talking to you.
The thing that makes my stomach turn is finding your parents is harder than usual, since you are in high school and my daughter is in junior high. Maybe if you keep it up, your “ratings” will go viral. I bet a college registrar would love to see that, who wouldn’t want a “young man” like you at their college.
I get it, you’re 14, you are full of hormones, random boners and it’s hard to control. You are in high school, but at the bottom of the food chain as a freshman. I was there, Gayle Weinberg used to give the instant wood in math class when I was in eighth grade, it was awesome and awful all at the same time. I wanted to kiss her, run out of the room, scream, dance, all at once. Hormones are a bitch. Boners at your age are big, painful and there’s no relief, I get it.
Here’s a tip about women “young man,” being mean to them, is no way to get them to like you. No matter what you see in PG13 movies it’s a no go. You are not teasing them into a conversation you are scarring them deeply. Your comments are like a knife to each and every one of the little girls you decided to “rate.”
Women and girls put up with enough crap in their lives from men and other women, this type of bullying is the kind of thing that can crush a girl’s confidence and stay with her forever. All because you were bored on Facebook and your parents don’t keep tabs on you “young man.”
It’s not the internet, social media, a bad economy that cause these problems, it’s generations of crummy parents, not leading by example and leaving it up to kids to learn and make the right decisions, which we know almost never ends well.
Words hurt and leave permanent scars at any age at any time for both boys and girls. I kissed a certain girl in 8th grade, she told all of the other girls I had a big tongue and that was the end of me kissing anyone in the 8th grade. As silly as it sounds, it stayed with me for years, every time I kissed a girl; I mentally cringed and waited to hear a mean comment.
My advice to you, learn from this lesson. Maybe someday when you are a “man,” and have kids, you will teach them what your parents forgot to teach you, respect for other people and their feelings.
I have hope for you “young man,” you will rise and learn, like the old saying goes, when you are the bottom you can only go up and you my friend are a “0.”
