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.

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.
