MEAN GIRLS goes from "You cant sit with us" to "You cant play with us, you dont have an Iphone" iliti moderna omladina i buducnost Crne Gore

I wasn’t planning to write a new blog so soon, but when inspiration comes, you just don’t question yourself.  And I am ready for new wave of hating I got from my last blog. It is quite normal when you write about the things that are wrong in our society.  Unlike the previous one, where certain people stated that if you have more money, its fine to be selfish, materialist,  buy the most expensive (not stylish or not fitting) brands, doesn’t matter they fit you or not, but you have money, and its cool.

I get it, some people have money, capitalism creates inequality, etc.. Just like Madonna sang “we are living in a material world”.. But I am NOT a material girl. Or simply to quote George Orwell , when he wrote in “Animal farm” –   “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

I am not going to track roots of inequality, give attitudes of philosophers and economists, such a Carl Marx (or papa Carl, as I call him). Yup, one doesn’t need to read Das Capital and try to understand papa Carl, or generations of thinkers before and after him, to see that we are not equal. But, what I witnessed today was a sad scene, as a result of current (LONG LASTING) state of being in our society.
In neighborhood I live in, there are too elementary schools. So, last two days I walked by tones of exciting kids, that struck my memories of first days of school. What I saw disappointed me.

Kids these days bring Iphones to schools, instead of school equipment and gear. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY CAN.  Again, I understand world have changed, technology improved  and all of that. But is it ok that kid , 7 years old brings an Iphone to school, brags about it, take pictures and show cool application. Yes, too cool for school, obviously. And I don’t care what people say, that’s not ok. Because they are just enrolling in school system, and they should gain more knowledge, not killing their creativity and time with phones and gadgets. And for all of those hypocrites stating how its natural way , because kids today have more opportunities, I have something to say : This is Montenegro. Not Japan, or some super developed country when kids actually don’t use pens, they write, read and learn on their gadgets. Kids here …. Just take picture, usually duckfacing….  Yes, 10 year old , with a  duckface and a pose, I see you becoming  a leader/president one day.. Totally.

What hit me the most was the scene I witnessed, passing by my old elementary school.  3 fancy dressed girls were playing with their Iphones, and a shy cute girl came along asked can she play with them, and that they should play a game.  Mini “mean girls” followed by mini Regina, turned to her and said “YOU DON’T HAVE AN I PHONE… NOT COOL, YOU CANT PLAY WITH US”. Shy girl walked away in tears. SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HECK?!! You are kids, you should play, enjoy being in school, because truth be told life of adults is not that cool.

I felt so sorry for that girl, so I came up to her and talked a little, tried to cheer her up. Yes, this world is not fair, but I cant stand how the state in this country is corrupting some of most precious things in life.  Also, 9 years old is a little bit too early to have ANY TYPE of phone  and to judge and molest others for not having it.

And then someone dares to say that’s the case of progressive kids of today. Excuse me, not to be rude – but where the heck is progress there? Back in those days, I went to music school, read and loved HP (still goes on today) and went out and played with my friends..Like hide and seek, and those games, not freaking Angry Birds .. Since I am obsessed with that game nowadays, guess I went progressive with time.  J

Teachers and people in education should deal with this more, because they are shaping the minds of people who one day will lead this country. Or we can just drop it. Papa Carl made a division in capitalism in two classes, today is modification : people with and without I phones. And sink even more.

But that just me saying some things.  No hard feelings, people. Adios, till the next blog :))
