When did it become cool to be disrespectful to your family and people who are older than you?

We can all agree that there are people in the world that do not deserve our respect. But there are a lot more people who do deserve our respect. Walking in today's society you see kids that are entitled. By that I mean they feel as though they deserve something without actually earning it. So why is this generation of children today so entitled? We don't deserve any of the respect we have been given, but yet it is given to us anyway. Regardless of how we have been treated, we choose to show a lack of respect for our elders, men and woman who have served our country, and even our families.

When did it become cool to compromise your faith?

Your faith is one thing in life that cannot be taken from you. So why is the one thing that is most easily given up?

When did it become cool to pretend you don't care about someone?

We all know that too cool for you guy/girl that refuses to give you the time of day but as soon as you move on they get mad that you didn't give them a chance. Treating people we care about as less than what they deserve has become a common theme. It would be less complicated and less stressful to be upfront with the feelings you have with people. Miss communications could be avoided and we could live in less drama, wouldn't that be nice?

When did it become cool to be unfaithful in relationships?

Commitment. Commitment is a word that most shy away from. Why is it encouraged to have "side chicks" and why as women are you letting people treat your relationships with so little value? Relationships should be something that is formed from more than just boredom loneliness.

When did it become cool to be "easy"?

Why isn't it more of an attractive quality to find someone who is striving for more than a one night stand? Who genuinely cares for you and for your well-being as a person and no matter what happens will be by your side.

When did it become cool to hurt someone through a computer screen?

In a society where social media is so big when did people start catfishing one another or to say hurtful things while hiding behind a small screen? Cyberbullying is a ridiculous thought, think about it someone sees a photo or an opinion that doesn't please them and they just feel the need to push people to limits that could reach a level where they do not want to exist amongst people. That's completely uncalled for.

Why do you strive to be cool over being a good person?

Good things happen to good people.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
