Why do we do the things we do.....

....Interesting.....

Have you ever been doing something and stop and ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" I'm pretty sure all of us have at one point in our lives.

Why do girls put on make-up? I mean, it doesn't change who or what you are. Sure it might turn your face from being ghost white to being full of color and life. But people should except what you llok like with or with out the make-up. Ok, I admit, I do use make-up ocassionally, but I don't have a single clues as to why I do. It doesn't change the person inside. I think people look some what better with out make-up. I guess you use it to cover up a pimple or two, but hen you'll just end up with more as a result of wearing the make-up.

Why do girls shave their legs and armpits? I've been wondering forever. I mean if it's just going to be removed, then why do we have it? I guess in this case, only God can answer that one. I guess this also relates to why don't girls have short hair and guys have long hair? Personally I don't really like guys to have hair longer than my own, but that's just me I guess.

My third and final question......
Why do there have to be certain groups?
Like you got the popular/snobs, then the average, losers, nerds, geeks, and so on and so forth. I mean who care what people are like. We nessicairly don't have to classify poeple in the group that best fits them. At school, I pretty much fit into the loser group along with Brandon. Of course I have tons of totally awesome friends. Ok, so isn't having a lot of totally awesome friends mean that you're popular? Wrong. Not when your friends don't care what people think of them. They go around playing magic cards, most of them are pretty dang smart, and they like you for who you are, not what you wear, not what you eat or what sports you play, and not who your parents are. Why Can't everyone just accept who they are and not try to be better than everyone else? I wish I had the answers.

Carebear you should take a psychology class if/when you go to college.  A lot of those questions you are asking will be answered the more education and experience you gain.  Keep thinking outside the box and question everything...

psychx is right, I think a psychology class is the only place you'll an answer lol.

The only thing I can contribute is that things are the way they are because of previously set standards of living, as far as the shaving and the makeup. Some of it is the media, too.

As for the groups/cliques, I wouldn't invest too much worry into that. The popular kids you're talking about, most of them are assholes. I don't know if you're including me in that (I don't think you should), but I can probably be an asshole too. After a couple years of high school and deciding that my class REALLY blows for the most part, I don't care about them anymore. I used to have a lot of pride in my class, but now I'm just in it for me, as selfish as that may sound. It's only four years, and it goes by a lot quicker than you think, and then all the groups will be gone and everybody will be slaves to big business! /kidding

Yes, most of them at our school are. But there are a few that are really nice and that i don't have a problem with. You know what I used to think that you were an asshole, believe it or not. lol. But that was like when we were in jr. high. But now that I've gotten to know you, I like you a lot as a friend. And I wouldn't take pride in your class either. Just one look at em. lol.

Andy, you better not be referring to me, buddy!....lol....As for the article, the makeup/shaving whatever appears just to be some cultural thing for certain groups of people, and as Andy said, the media....The social groups, well, they are always going to be there the "Why can't we all just get along" thing is kind of a utopian idea....but with the differences in people they will assimilate into groups of people who they mainly get along with.....except for posers.....

That's about all I have for this one,

CareBear~totally thoughtful article! I actually think many of the so-called losers will eventually become winners big time. (I am talking about in high school.) I mean, think about some of the coolest folks in the music and art world: Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, van Gogh.... and Andy Warhol..... they all felt like losers and freaks when they were still in school. Yet fame and fortune were right around the corner for them big time. (Plus tragedy in some sad cases.) But I'm gonna be an optimist today, and say that I believe many of the losers of the world are gonna find great success and happiness a little later in life. You just gotta stay tough and strong till it happens. Thanks for writing this one. I enjoyed it a lot. It gets an insightful!

Why are some girls unable to go to the loo unattended?
They always have to bring an escort of friends. Why?

Hiddenpaw~ It's not that they are unable to attened the restroom by themselves. When a group of girls go to the bathroom together, it's usually when they have their girl talks. Does that help answer your question any?

Its better to not think so much about life. Apart from so much thinking, you could live a wholesome and winning life, for a change ...
