If there is one thing I hate about my generation, it is most definitely the relationships that they seem to get themselves into; if you can even call it a relationship. No one is ever dating, they are just “talking.” That term is supposed to be used when two people are not exclusive and not an established couple, but are in some sort of relationship. Although, it seems to me that people of the teenage population set other boundaries with this in-between status. The duo decides that they don’t want to necessarily be dating, but they don’t want the other person to see anyone else. How is it even possible for two people to declare exclusivity and to not be dating? I think for this reason in order to avoid confusion, we need to make a new term for what is wrongly labeled “talking.” My proposal for the name of this new word is: DATING. Another term that has always profoundly bothered me is the word: “whipped.” Please believe that just because I am a girl, I am in no way biased against this. Honestly, there are many times when I myself have thought that about someone. The only thing that I wish more people would realize is that there is a fine line between someone being whipped and someone respecting their girlfriend. I don’t think the problem is the existence of the word; it is just way too over-used. A guy willingly waiting at their girlfriend’s locker is far different from them being dragged along by the hair against their will. Guys are extremely too quick to insult their friends with this and believe me it is an insult. Lingo like this isn’t always a problem and in some cases it is used out of necessity, but it needs to at least be used correctly.
