Hello, dear readers. I apologize for my 7-day lapse in blogging. I really couldn't think of anything to write.

But, after seeing a string of patterns on my Facebook news feed, I've noticed things that my peers are doing a lot that are really unnecessary, and quite annoying.

Now, mind you, I only actually like maybe 20 out of my 82 Facebook friends. Maybe 25. Most of them I couldn't really care less about.

I have come up with a list of teen trends that are boring, stupid, irritating, or all of the above. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed trashing everyone else's hobbies.

(I'm not a mean person by nature, but when you're home alone all day, you need some form of entertainment, no?)

So behold: In no particular order, top ten teen trends I really, really hate.

10: People who change the name of their Facebook or Myspace to something completely ridiculous.

A good few of my Facebook "friends" do this. They add in extra, unneeded vowels or call themselves "Lady Something." Or, even worse, they purposely misspell "lady" as "ladiiee" or something retarded like that. They also add in middle names that really have no relevance to anything. Honestly, just put your name and nothing else. We don't care how badass you think you are for misspelling your own name.

9: People announcing via Facebook or otherwise that they're going to get wasted later.

I really hope the cops scour some of my Friends list. They'd make soooo much in marijuana fines. And, frankly, if you're stupid enough to smoke pot every other night, you deserve to have to shell out a few hundred bucks, not to mention a good few weeks of grounding.

8: People actually posting videos of them or their friends smoking a joint.

So, you're just making yourself look like a pothead. I guess it's the truth, so a bit of humiliation would do you good. There's really not much more I can say about this one. It's just gross.

7. People who use chatspeak in real life.

What I mean by that is, people who say "Lol," or "Rofl," or stupid things like that. I understand it when it's used on the computer, you don't always want to type out words (Lazy asses), but in real life? If somethings funny, just laugh. If somethings shocking, just say Oh my god, instead of Oh-Em-Gee. Honestly. You sound illiterate. Not to say that you AREN'T, you just don't have to broadcast it to the world.

 6. PEOPLE WHO WEAR LEGGINGS AS PANTS. URGH.

There are some people, I have to admit, that have no right to wear tights as pants. If you can like, actually pull it off without grossing everyone out, then fine, but the vast majority of girls who do that really, really can't. You may not even be pudgy, but you'll look like a muffin-top regardless. Fashion today is just ridiculous.

5. People who not only talk like a thug, but type like them too.

Honestly. Have you ever been to English class? Have you ever properly learned how to speak? Like, I understand ain't or gonna. I use those myself. But seriously, these people go out of their way to break all laws of grammar. You might think you're cool, and your cronies might think you're cool, but you sound SO STUPID.

4. Grind lines. I really don't know what they're actually called.

Basically, a bunch of people acting like hookers, getting in one big conga line and grinding. It's like one big prostitute caterpillar. If anyone who partakes in this reads this, think about the poor innocent people stuck  watching. A bunch of girls in revealing skirts grinding like whores (pardon my language)? Not exactly our cup of tea. In fact, it makes us want to vomit. Maybe some day we just will. All over you're giant heeled hooker shoes.

3. People who act like life is oh so hard, when really, they have it easy.

Because nothing is harder than smoking a joint and getting drunk with your friends. I can't imagine how terrible it is to go SHOPPING! Oh, the agony.

Honestly: Get a life. There's children in Africa that have AIDS, no parents, live in shacks and drink contaminated water. Yes, I played the African children card. Please, for the sake of my sanity, shut up, get a grip, and stop trying to get attention.

2. This one's a doozy. People who steal other people's iPods or cellphones, just for kicks!

So yes, I've experienced that. In a past blog, I said that a girl I knew basically stole $162 worth of gadgets from me. A $100 dollar iPod shuffle (I bought mine when they first came out, and we're all expensive), a fifty dollar cellphone, and $12 worth of texting on said cellphone. Really, are you honestly so strapped for entertainment that you resort to theft?

What really grinds my gears is that she got away with it. That's another thing I hate: The cops do nothing. Twice we called them, twice they promised to come over, and twice they blew us off. And now my poor, innocent gadgets are sitting terrified in a ditch somewhere, and they are yet to receive justice.

And the number one thing about teenagers that I despise:

People who don't realise that they're the biggest idiot you've ever met.

I think every other reason falls under this one thing. People who think they're thugs, who use chatspeak in real life, who wear leggings as pants, who have ridiculous Facebook names, and post about getting high, who torment others and steal their stuff, who grind like hookers, who complaing about how crap their life really just need to take a look at things. Sure, it might be fun for you. But think about everyone else. You're irritating the hell out of them, stealing things that THEY payed for, and they think they're the coolest. I have news for you. You're not.

So I betcha nobody is gonna read this and say "I agree!" 90% of the people at my school fall under a few of these things, if not all. They just don't realise how annoying their trends are, and how deep of a hole they're digging themselves into.

Thanks for reading, anyone who has. As always, I am your loyal provider of pointless blogs.

Adieu,

Iz.

PS. Girl who stole my iPod and cell: If you ever happen to read this, you basically stole $162 dollars out of my mothers pocket. If I had my way, we'd be going to small claims court. I know you did it. I may not be able to do anything about it, but I know. Just thought I'd add that in.
