Doe eyed teenagers who bite each others necks for blood?

I am blithely perturbed by the physical transformations kids, those under twenty, are excited to do to themselves these days.  It used to be that ugly kids were just beat up and had less lunch money than me, but now they are using surgery, and physical mutilation to even the score and become….gasp.  Cool.

The newest trends are two-fold.  One is to order illegal contact lenses from Japan that give you the doe-eyed dumb-ass look that Lady Gaga had in her last video Bad Romance. .  Fabulous look for a video but school?  I dont think so.  This would give any punch drunk punk undeserved attention that should have gone to me.  I’m not okay with this.

 The contacts are not FDA approved and have to be purchased illegally at this point and worn without parent or government oversight.  What they accomplish is to cover part of the white with a contact of nearly any color that makes the iris appear larger and more like the Japanese anime cartoons like this http://www.animefreak.tv/

The other and more mystifying and scary trend is being set by the Mormon written book series Twilight.  Biting.  Yes kids are showing ownership to one another by making bite marks on one another’s necks, arms and wrists and are drawing blood.  Each can have a sip of the other as a symbol of their love.  Ahhh, how sweet.  Problem is, of course, that human bites unlike vampire bites, are practically poisonous due to the high number of bacteria in our saliva.  Vampires being dead dont have living bacteria in their mouths apparently.  Either that, or because you die so quickly after being bit by one you dont have time to fester and get blood poisoning.  With teenage boy bites you do.

Some parents say intervene, others say leave them alone, kids will be kids.  I think the emergency room should be allowed to do the talking myself, but there is something to be said for preventing long term scaring on your teenage daughters neck too.  I dont know, I just miss the days when being pretty was all you needed to kick some ass at school.
