organic chicken pot pie
Wednesday. 9.3.08 4:29 pm
mmmmm yep that will be my dinner lol taste so much better organic it really does.



so my day wasnt too bad just normal school day stuff.

I had a convo with a nutanger last night that has really gotten me thinking.

Have i lowerd my morals and my standards in certain situations?

and i do certainly believe ive lowerd my standards concerning guys. Which really isnt good. Im starting to think that the guys that are jerks may not be all that bad. pshhh (yeah i know)


but then i think about different things like young pregnancy, and drugs, alcohol, sex, and even the people i decide to hang out with.

And i know i personally wouldnt have a baby at my age or in the next 10 years (i want to get through medical school and be married). And my views on sex arent really strict (havent had it yet hehe and im proud of that) but i also know the difference between being in love with someone and sleeping with them. And i wont be having sex at my age too many risks and i want to do so much with my life.

I dont do drugs and alcohol has occured in my life but i dont want it to be a part of it now.

And then i get to the friends part and it kinda worries me. I hang out with some ppl that can get me into trouble and have gotten me into trouble. Not to mention they are all underage and all drink, do drugs, smoke, and most are sexually active. Now i will tell you honestly i have tried a cigarette and found it disgusting and i choose not to do drugs and i dont drink. But still why do i associate myself with people who have such lower standards than me?

Even if they have lower standards,
they're still people. That's why you hang out with them. Yup.

Now your job is to not lower your standards, but raise theirs.

Perhaps they provide a contrast and make you appear better morally?

MMMmmm organic chicken and veggies!!

And you hang out with them probably because you like them. You can be open minded and not judge people for their desicions and still be a strong enough indivual to stick to your goals, morals and personal choices. And just because someone does something you don't do or want to do doesn't nessacarily mean they have lower standards then you. My step dad drinks and he's a heart surgeon. My mom smokes pot and she just retired from teaching. Now the sexually active thing really depends on the person. If someone is sleeping exclusively with one person and is in a long term relationship with them then I would say their standards aren't lower. If someone is just slutting it up and spreading their genitals around like there's no tomorrow then Yes they definately do have lower standards lol.

I wonder that sometimes myself.
I think sometimes we don't have a choice, because you'd rather have friends who make dubious choices than no friends at all.

But if there are more people about, ripe to be made into friends, sometimes I do think you should evaluate your friends and think about whether or not you should start hanging around more like-minded people (like people who have the same goals as you do, like going to college or getting good grades or whatever).

I think if you have a couple friends who do bad things, it doesn't seem to matter at first because what trouble they make for themselves doesn't affect you. The trouble is that when you decide to date someone, suddenly their decisions DO start to have a direct effect on your life-- so your standards for dating should probably be much higher than your standards for your friends.
...but if ALL of your friends have lower values than you do, then how will you ever meet this nice guy to date? (Ideally this guy wouldn't hang around with those kinds of people!)

I also think it's a great idea not to have sex, drink alcohol, do drugs, or date jerks. I personally try to avoid all of these things. But that's me.

Out of curiosity... who were you talking to?

I also agree with your post about marriage.
