Haven't you heard...

Haven't you heard that drinking will make you red as a beet, sway like a lunatic, slur like a mad man, puke till your throat is raw, ugly as hell, wasted?
Just a year ago, we were still innocent children not exposed to the world that we have readily invited this year. Now, as photos flash by, I see people sitting on the couch as if they were half dead, half alive with a face red enough to explode. They reminded me of zombies. I don't understand how they could possibly make themselves go through such agony but I believe the motives are quite clear. Everyone drinks as if they're at the finish line. We're done. Let's celebrate. But just a year ago, celebrate had a happy connotation with balloons and sunlight and smiles. Now celebrate is no longer what it meant. Now people take it to mean drinking, smoking, dancing like they're having sex, puking, stoning. They think it's sophisticated. We're adults now, yippee.
Haven't they heard that they've got a family? They've got parents? They've got a life? It's like suicide. One day you're really depressed and you curse the day you were born and go ahead and kill yourself. What do your parents do now? They've spent their lives loving you and you decide to kill it all with your life. That's just pure selfish. Don't go wasting around right now when you owe your parents a lifetime. It's just setting yourself up with a noose around your neck. And you thought schoolwork would kill you.
Haven't you heard? It's time to celebrate life.
