The value of the kiss

It makes me angry how in the show I am watching this boy's biggest secret is that he has never kissed a girl before and is completely embarrassed by this fact. He would be 15 or 16 years old. His two closest friends (who are both girls) are shocked that he has never been kissed and one of them feels the need to say "Well...I think it's cute you have never been kissed" in a i-don't-really-mean-it kind of way, and he replies "No, no, it's not cute it is embarrassing . No one can find out." The other girl tries to get him back for playing a prank on him by telling everyone that he has never been kissed. He is completely mortified. The first girl proceeds to say to the second girl "You just ruined his entire life!" The next day when he gets to school EVERYONE is laughing and making fun of him because of it. Even his mother makes fun of him.

Since when did it become unacceptable to not have kissed someone? Why is it such a HUGE deal that he never kissed someone? It is so stupid. They have devalued the kiss and turned not having kissed someone into a sin. It is sick. It makes me angry. I hate society. I hate television setting stupid standards for everyone.

Oh and now they are going to kiss just to get it over with so that they don't have to deal with being made fun of! That is just gross. Why would anyone do that!?

It's sad. That's what it is.

I wanna go back to the day when kisses were special. When they meant something. When they still had value.

Well, I'm not gonna give up on that. I plan on keeping my first kiss at full value. No market value. No holiday sales. No employee discounts. No mark down for damaged goods. It will not be damaged, it will not be sold, it will not be handed out for the highest bidder.

It will be special and good. Call me stubborn, call me old fashioned. That is my plan and I will stick to it.
