Are you socially developed?

SOME OF THIS YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO LET ARIELLE ON DOWN READ

I have been giving some different conversation and behaviors that I have watched some thought lately and decided to share a bit of my thoughts.

A few years back I was speaking to a principal at a High school as we were preparing for a Backdraft assembly. He started asking everyone what high school they had graduated from and when he came to me and I told him that I had been home schooled he looked at me and with all earnestness asked "are you socially developed?" I after quickly getting over the shock at being asked that question told him that yes I was socially developed. The rest of the crew also told him that I was socially developed and we went on with life. Later when we came back for the assembly I was dressed as an Emo and he asked P. Josh what was wrong with me (he did not recognize me).

A few other conversations I have had went along the lines of "O you were home schooled, that's okay I can corrupt you." I have also been mistaken for being a lesbian on two different occasions that I know of. The first being with a representative from Big Brothers Big Sisters I did not know what she meant by the terms she was using having no need to know them before. In the end with that one I just blurted out "I like guys" as I also turned many shades of red. And later at West when I would give a friend some chocolate that I new she liked and of which JoAnn and I had a ton but neither of us liked. Well everyone on that shift the 12 - 8:30 shift decided that I was a lesbian. I never was able to completely put an end to that rumor with those people.

People also have shown a keen disbelief in the fact that I have chosen NOT to drink alcohol. I had to constantly watch my drinks around some people as they were always plotting what to give me...There was also other than legal types of smokes being offered.

I have also been invited to go to many bars and strip joints and been told by young ladies whose "boy toys" (the way she referred to her boyfriend that she lived with) would go to them that she had went and there was nothing really wrong (she then went into more detail). This would frustrate me on many levels first the couple in question were both under age which made it legally wrong. Second since when did it become okay to go...well I'm not going to go into it.

I have also watched multiple people who could not find there worth if they did not have a guy. I watched as they would jump from man to man trying to find meaning and yet if I said anything I was being judgemental and mean.

So as I have been thinking back over all of this and the question "are you socially developed?" I can't but wonder if the correct answer is NO. In a society where drugs, alcohol, and sex defines who a person is I am not socially developed (praise the LORD) and I never plan on being socially developed. What I am trying to say is, when did our society become so corrupted and why is it so widely accepted. How is it that people raised in godly homes can bow down to this type of living and think that it is perfectly acceptable. What has happened to our nation founded on Godly principals? Since when does kindness mean "other" things? And why in a society that can except Satan worship and so many things that are contrary to mans very nature. Is it unacceptable to try and answer the pain with the Lord.

Society seems so determined to corrupt innocence so that there behavior is not seen for what it is.

One of the things that I was thinking is that people stopped caring. In the midst of everything else that was going on lets just say with WW2 and such that who cares if a few kids get into drugs... Or maybe it has to do with Hollywood's rise to fame the more important they become the more moralities decline. We have now received political freedom for women, African Americans and Native Americans but at the same time taken away Christians freedom. What will it take to stop the decay and turn America back around?

I have more thoughts but I have to go to work so I wanted to end with this verse.
2 Chronicles 7:14"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
