You Are Not An Adult
Message to middle school - high school students
You are children. End of story. Accept it, it only happens once. Being a real adult involves buying things for yourself, not with mommy and daddy's money, but with your own money you get from having a job. It involves bills and that horrible realization that maybe you can't buy that pair of jeans this month and sure as hell can't afford that new video game you've been obsessively watching the trailers for. It means you have to figure out your own cellphone. Sometimes it means that you eat a lot of pop-tarts and ramen noodles because you can't afford anything else. It means you are responsible for yourself, your clothes, the roof over your head and the food in your belly. It means that when you do wrong, they don't call your parents, they call the police. If you do none of these things and your parents are responsible for you and you are still between the ages of one and eighteen, you are a CHILD. Congratulations. I'm a bit envious.
Furthermore, having sex and getting pregnant does not make you an adult. It does not make you better or important. And it sure as hell does not make you a parent. Rude awakening: being a parent and being an adult are not things you simply are based on age, proclamation, smoking and drinking, giving birth, or donating sperm. Being either are based on your actions. Parenting is accepting that some of the things you like to do, like partying and dating every other guy or girl, are not going to be your regular routine anymore. It's coming to the disturbing realization that your life is no longer purely about you, but the child you decided you were old enough to have. I am not sitting here saying don't have sex. It's unrealistic to expect you not to and I'm a realist of sorts, however, I ask that you accept the consequences of your choices. You want to have sex? Accept that you might have to put your life on hold to take responsibility for a child. A child is not "not a big deal" it is a big deal. It means that who your kid grows up to be is in your hands. If they are a jackass, you did that, that's your fault.
You shouldn't be having kids anyway. As I've stated before, you are too young to realize that the limitations and rules placed on you are beneficial to your development and not some form of cruel torture there to prevent you from happiness. Consequences and rules are things you need to learn. Adults aren't setting out to ruin your life, but prepare you for it. Maybe you don't like a curfew, well tough, you are too young to be out in the middle of the night running around. It might not sound like a big deal, but if you were allowed to do whatever you want at a young age you wouldn't develop the skills needed to know how to judge between doing what you want and what you should in the future when those decisions truly matter. The things you do now will not have the same consequences when you're older, they'll be worse. So you should be thanking the people that acctually give a crap about your future. If they didn't care they wouldn't set up rules or punishments.
And any parents that believe in the no punishments raising technique... Seriously? Seriously now? I know that parents don't like it when their kids 'hate' them, but that's a part of being a parent to. Trust me, they'll get over it.

My Promised Segway
Some things I have said to Sullie Suckface:
"Okay, well, I'll call you back about payment after I get a street corner and have caught dozens of STDs."
"I work in a gas station, if you are expecting that much a month you might want to fall out of bed, wake up, and come up with a sum in reality."
"Well, I guess I never should have tried to further my education. How much does your job pay to ruin dreams? I could get into that."

If you can't guess who this is about, think college loans. It'll come to you. That's the name I gave them in my phone. I am sort of in-rage with them. Not their fault really, it's mine, just like any other person that seeks a higher education and decides to take out loans. That's right, it's your fault. Now don't start getting all angry and going off on a tangent while sitting at your computer reading this. You didn't HAVE to get an education. Let's be honest here. You didn't have to attempt to better yourself. The government and all the other hard working citizens of the world would have paid for you to sit at home on your ass with your 4.5 kids while eating the junk food you bought with your EBT and drinking the booze and smoking the cigarettes you got with your welfare money. You could be better off without even trying.
Fooled you a little bit there didn't I? Thought I was going to start ranting about loan companies, but I didn't. Predictable? Totally not. Don't get me wrong here, they deserve a rant... or many, and I promise to at least make a post about some of the things I have said to whomever was the unfortunate representative to answer my call, but it wont be this post.
I've noticed something about society over my time as a college graduate and as a cashier: society is dumb. You tell people that if they want to truly succeed they need a higher education, so they get it, and then they can't find decent jobs to pay back their loans and what makes this worse is that half the time they can't even find something related to their field they acquired these loans studying. Most companies tell them they need more experience but no company will give them the experience. Meanwhile, you have kids getting their GED, covered in expensive tattoos, popping out kids left and right and living off portions of the hard earned money that those higher education students are getting for working jobs they hate. I've had people with EBT come into my old store with their nails done, driving cars better than mine, and get pissed off that they couldn't buy a monster on their EBT. So they use the cash on their EBT to get cigarettes and then hand me a hundred dollar bill for gas. Excuse me? Sometimes I can't afford to feed myself and you're telling me that I can be doing better in life if I didn't work nine days straight, sometimes doubles, or get an excellent graphic design education? Dumb.
More to come latter on this subject...

Dear Customers, Refer To The Police.
I am finding more and more as of late that no one is clear on a few tid bits I assumed were common knowledge, or common sense about buying alcohol or cigarettes, or even lotto. So here they are:
1. EBT is not a valid form of ID. I could rant about how just about everyone has an ID, or permit, or license, and how, it is the commonly preferred method of identification so the fact that you don't have one is dumb on your part especially when you know you are going to buy alcohol or tobacco. But I am not confident that going into that rant will allow you to see your stupidity.
2. Most stores that sell alcohol and tobacco have a license to do so and as part of that do not condone or promote the selling OR distribution of alcohol and tobacco to a minor. Meaning, you have a minor with you, then no no on your poison of choice. I do not care if that is your kid. I don't know that for sure because I don't know you nor do I care. That's a minor. And no, sending them to your car doesn't make me magically forget they were just standing in front of me.
3. Calling a manager over will not help you. In most stores, no manager or fellow cashier can overrule the decision of a cashier to deny sale. It's common policy that the choice of selling any substance, rated R movie, or lottery ticket is at the discretion of the cashier. Do not assume that huffing and puffing or going to the higher ups will get you what you want. Having your ID or knowing the law is not my job to do for you, it's yours.

You Lack Creativity And Any Shred Of Class.
I just want to have a moment or two to ask that the parents of these kids put them up for adoption quickly. Parenting. You're doing it wrong. Don't argue with me. You're doing it wrong. Treating another human being like that is wrong. Especially your elders. Furthermore, your kids are dumb. They lack any creativity when it comes to insulting someone. Especially that girl, or what I assume is a girl, that repeatedly used the word 'fat' like it was the only word she even knew. It should be noted that when I looked further into it the only names that came up were male. So the prepubescent BOY lacks creativity.
Now my next moment is to the kids. Putting aside the fact that I may be wasting my time, I mean, I am typing in proper english, and since you have such a limited and vulgar vocabulary you may need to read this a few times to comprehend it, but you are all a completely fine example of miscreants. I'll give you a few to look it up.

No, evildoer does not make you sound cool. It's a bad thing. You picking on an older lady that is attempting to ignore you and that can't actually fight back without far more dire consequences than what you would have to suffer does not make you cool. It makes you weak. You wanna be a tough guy and a badass like in the movies? Fucking pull that shit on someone that is a REAL badass unlike you. Maybe the reason you are picking on her is because you know you're pathetic and seeing someone else upset makes you feel less pathetic... which... still makes you pathetic. And no, I don't care if mommy and daddy aren't paying attention to you or you get picked on yourself, or whatever reason you have for being such an angry sadistic person. I don't care, because there is no excuse for treating another human being that way just because you think your life sucks. And maybe it does suck. But who you are is not defined by how the people in your life are treating you, your life is defined by how YOU treat others and how you present yourself. As of right now. You are a waste. Now I don't mean that you are a waste of potential or that you are a waste of space or blahblah, I mean that you are trash. Garbage. No matter how high you try to climb up that social ladder by abusing another human being, you will still be the lowest of the low. A banana peal at the top of the garbage can dearie, is still in a garbage can, and still garbage.
Courtesy of this video and many people online, there is now a lot of information on the kids involved and now there is even info on their parents. I don't suggest hate-mail, since I don't much condone that behavior, but there is also info on the school. Perhaps they need to take more precautions when dealing with bullying. Again, there is other info that will apparently link you to the kids and their parents, but not all the info is kosher, so don't go off on some anger death threats in a fit of rage. It does not make things better. Apparently they are still investigating it and the kids will be punished. Hopefully including the kid who video taped it. He's all over stating how he was peer pressured... sorry, not an excuse. You shouldn't be off the hook because you decided to feel bad after filming ten minutes of a lady being abused and think that allows you a free pass. You are just as guilty. What's the saying in Boondock Saints? Oh that's right: "Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
