Here's a thought to ponder about as you read this post. Nothing complicated or anything. Just something to roll around the old noggin' while i rant about something. Well here it is:

As people move on from time to time. They change.

Now i'm not talking about puberty here. That's a totally whole different thing going on. To me puberty is defined as growing a whole lot of HAIR at places you wouldn't even imagine to have hair in the first place. Anyway back to what i was saying. I'm talking about change in character,perspective,attitude and even values.

Say for example, before you left secondary school you would have in your mindset that you would always build a base of friendship before jumping into a relationship. But when you enter JC/Poly your mindset totally changes.

Maybe its due to greater influence from friends or just the pressure thats coming directly from your peers. Whichever the case may be, sooner or later something in that thick skull of yours bound to change because of it.

I'm not saying Poly/JC life is bad but maybe it does have an effect on us some way or another. Some used to say that Poly/JC is the period of time when young minds would mature from their premature state and that's where many of our thoughts about how we want to live our lives comes into play.

I won't deny that i myself have not changed since i entered Poly but i've seen many of my friends go through the same process. For some it might not be that big a change, maybe only a small portion of what they used to be changed. I mean, look back and think about what people would tell you about something. And as time goes by watch that person slowly change. I'm talking about long-term here. About 2-3 years of friendship and you'll notice that the person whom you once made friends with has changed. Note that i'm only talking about Secondary school-->Poly/JC and not anything else.

Just take a look around you and see for yourself. The people you once knew form secondary school are not the people they used to be when they enter Poly/JC. 'Nuff said.
