Homecoming

I would consider myself a social teenager, and like any other social teenager, I went to my high schools homecoming dance. Now I am in no way a crazy person that goes out and parties every weekend, or ever for that matter. This homecoming I went with a guy that is a year older than me and this group of friends are really fun, but I would still not consider them the partying type. It is normal for kids these days to go to the dance and then follow up with an after party. I of course went to the after party and it was truly really fun. It was actually the most fun I have ever had at one. The problem is, is that yeah, many people "hooked up" as we call it these days. They didn't do anything major, just make out. This one girl at my after party hooked up with two guys, not too big of a deal right? One of the guys she hooked up with did the same with one other girl as well. Once again, not too big of a deal right? We're teenagers and we want to have fun. Well when I got to school on monday, I noticed that this girl that this girl was being ostracized for hooking up with two guys. People called her a slut and those that heard of it thought of her differently. The guy? Oh, well no one thought differently of him at all, it was completely fine. Why must girl be subject to such different treatment when they do the exact same thing? I do not understand it. Besides, it was not anyones business what this girl did at the after party, it is her decision and no one has the right to judge her on it. Society needs to understand that it is not okay to victimize girls when what they do is no worse than the actions of guys. This is a problem that I see everywhere. If you see this happening please stop it. And if you are the ones committing this harassment, please stop for 5 seconds and think about what you are doing, girls should not be victimized for their choices that do not harm anyone else.
