Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Maybe Men Aren't The Only Pigs

Girls are the cruelest creatures to ever walk the earth and the older I get, the more I realize how much they get away with it. Think way back to elementary school when boys used to chase you on the play ground. Who got in trouble? The boys. Now, turn it around. I do not remember a single time my girl friends and I got in trouble for chasing boys. Fast forward 20 years and now the "play ground" is different. It is now your college campus, the bars, concerts, and wherever you and your friends hang out, and yet some of you girls are acting just the same.

I am constantly hearing how men are the pigs for hitting on the girl in the skimpy clothes, flirting with the cute girl at the party when he is in a relationship, hooking up with the girl at the bar that may be a little too drunk or taking a girl home when he shouldn't be. Let me ask you this girls...how many of you are the ones in those skimpy clothes? Letting the guy with the girlfriend hit on you? Being the girl that's a little too drunk at the bar? Or taking a boy home when you shouldn't be?

You know who you are. You are 110% just as guilty. How come you don't get called a pig for that? How come it is okay to shame and belittle men but as soon as a girl is called out for their shameful acts, they try to use every excuse society has in the book? Forget the excuses. It is not okay, and for some reason our generation thinks it is acceptable to put all the blame on the guys, and it has to stop. You know he has a girlfriend. You know you are asking for attention when you wear those spandex around and show up to the bar in a "shirt" that looks like a bra.

Don't get me wrong, I am not by any means excusing the behavior of some men, but we hold just as much as the blame. Our generation is lacking self respect and common decency more and more every day. As females, we know how much it sucks to be a girl, so stop being the reasons for each other's trust issues. Stop chasing the wrong boys on the playground. Respect him. Respect yourself. Respect the girl at the other end. Stop blaming the boys of our generation on our behavior. Put some clothes on, correctly represent those Jesus tattoos, take responsibility, and keep your hands where they belong.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
