Society

What has this world become? People are scared to be who they really are because of all the judgements they will get. If there's one thing that this world has taught me is that society is cruel and it takes a great deal of strength to survive.
We're forced to act older than we actually are because we want to fit in but no one is actually themselves around others. The other day, I made out with a complete stranger at a concert. That's something I don't do or never thought I would do. It's not my style.. I'd rather have a boyfriend or none at all than random hook-ups. But after that night, my friends were saying I had finally grown up. No. I find that what I did at that concert was childish. Hook-ups, in my mind, are a sign of commitment issues. I think people need to grow-up and get over them, not the other way around..
Another problem with society, we are becoming more accepting but bullying and putting down isn't getting any better. What will my children be forced to grow up with? How bad will their childhood be? I'm scared I won't be able to teach them how to be strong enough to survive what society has to throw at them.
