being all emo on Facebook constantly, and wearing tiny shorts?
Seriously.
I have a couple of young people as FB friends, and they are always posting the most ridiculous shit like "just like other human beings, I sometimes do things that hurt people. OH WELL" and "I have wasted too much time on a broken heart" (which is a follow up to about a thousand posts about their loooooooooove for their HS boyfriend or some such) and "I am not into wasting dreams."
And also, my neighbor's girlfriend (as well as other young ladies I have seen) wear such TINY shorts. I have underwear that cover more than those shorts. And she wears them every single day, like, walking the dog and stuff. Shorts that are essentially panties.

Everything my cousin posts is like that. "Don't waste time on someone who doesn't trust you because you will never find trust in their hearts." Or crap like that. I pretty much always assume she is breaking up with her boyfriend. But the next post is them together all lovey dovey. If I was him I'd be like "...the fuck?"
Ugh, my little sister does this and has for years. She is bad, bad, bad at the "poor me, pity party" thing. I've always thought, hey, she's young give her a break! But he's 24 now, too old for that.
Facebook wasn't around when I was young and I really do think I forget how I was back then.
I have a bunch of these, past employees and family. I crack up when they are in the bathroom taking photos with the duck face looking like a prostatot.

Among the young people I am friends with on FB, I have noticed they are always posting this on each other's pages:
"tbh, I think you're really pretty", "tbh, you are one of the nicest people I know", etc. Apparently this tbh (to be honest) thing is a thing. Kids are weird.

My SD has normal length shorts but they have extra long pockets so they stick out anyway. She made me feel so old when I was doing laundry and kept rotating them going "what happened to your shorts? What's wrong with these?". Lol
DH left her in charge of the camera on their off road camping trip. When he went through the pix and 90% were ducklip selfies. He deleted them and she got mad.

I agree that pockets don't belong hanging out of your shorts. And I don't need to see the underside of butt cheeks.
What gets me maybe even more than the butt shorts are the butt skirts--the micro mini, spandex skirts that are all the rage right now. I have seen some just as short as the micro-shorts except, they are not shorts. They are so short, there is no way you can sit down in them and not show off all your goods.
I have a cousin who is 15 and I sometimes read her friends'FB. Their posts are disturbing and very dramatic. Here is an example. She got dumped by her HS BF.
Poster: death allows you to escape all your problems and all the suffering life brings you. I just hope you'll miss me...
Friend 1: not a happy thing to say Poster: how to be happy when the person you love the most leaves you?.. Friend 1: don't worry, I understand. It just happened to me... Poster: ... Poster's mom (WTF?!): but don't forget you have a family who loves you. And a guy dumb enough to leave...well, no comment. Poster: I know but I love him so much. And now I lost him.
I regularly see girl's undercarriage in those shorts.
I know! And it just looks bad. I don't want to see butt cheeks everywhere I look! I think I noticed this trend when we went to Disneyland early this summer and it's like everyone was wearing them, regardless of age. It was not pretty.

I dislike the youth of today. I'm young and went through my phases but I feel like the youth of today go through extreme phases, especially when it comes to the emo one.
I'm also jealous of their ability to wear pantie shorts. I was always too fat. I still am, but even if I woke up skinny I'd be too old.

Emo and attention seeking, now with a platform. And ass-baring shorts to do it all in. Seriously, I'm gonna start carrying Clorox wipes for all public seating. Gross ass germs
i have an emo relative who is too old to be emo (hint: this person is not MY sibling). no teeny shorts (although one of the 2nd year associates at my firm keeps posting teeny short photos from her weekend jaunts and i'm like "uh, you know we're FB friends, right?), but things like (these are real):
-If I ever get around to living . . . -I will be who I am, even if it confuses others . . . -Live everyday . . . you never know . . .
Also, it should be noted that none of these people are teenagers (tiny shorts neighbor could be, but I really don't think so. I think she is at least 22). They are all over 20, and in some cases over 25.
My niece, who is 17 years old, used to be the worst about the super emo FB statuses. She was no worse, though, than some adults and their constant bitching. My niece has, thankfully, outgrown a bit of the drama.
