I Blame Society (and human nature)

Please correct me if you think I am wrong.

Yep, just like almost everyone else in my demographic, I blame society. You ask yourself, Why would someone like that go as low as to blame everything on society? Well thats a damn good question, because I try not to be the type to just find a scapegoat for my own actions. But the way I see it, we are not all completely responsible for our own actions, considering we are all just human and we are very much shaped by the forces of society (also greed, power, evil, religion (which is part of society), politics (also society), etc. but I will save those for another day).

Have you ever noticed that if someone is just a little different, we automatically assume something is wrong? Consider this. A teen in school usually gets good grades. But then they start to get worse. He is easily distracted and is not longer interested by school. Something must be wrong with him. His parents are concerned and so they take him to a psychologist and he gets diagnosed with ADHD. He gets medication to make him "normal" again. This is seriously wrong! What happened to the days when 'boys were boys,' and we were not expected to be interested in school. It used to be that people had their own talents and were respected for it. Society just has no room for deviance anymore.

Almost anything can be traced back to society. Excuses make life easier!
