Is it even necessary?

     Its always been something that crosses my mind when I am around a certain group of people. Its always been a plagued me with judgemental thoughts... heres what im talking about.
As a christian its always bothered me so much to see other self proclaimed "christians", my age.... SCRATCH THAT ... > Its always bothered me so much to see young people my age doing stupid stuff.
I talked to a kid tonight about the musical group "Odd Future". I dont know if he was a christian or not (ALL of his friends proclaim they are so....) but when he walked up he was talking about how he just got done smoking and hes clearly still underage (to smoke ANYTHING lol). He then proceeds to go on about the group odd future. I voiced my opinion , and I honestly tried to be polite about it because I do have legitimate hatred for the group. Long story short, he ended up saying that the group was "anit-christ"  but not devil worshippers and he loves them because they say the things no one else will say.
I was going to get into a long discussion on why I completely disagree with him, but what bothers me even more is how corrupted this thought process of his even is!

    I just feel like its completely UNNECESSARY for kids my age or younger to be thinking this way... am I getting old? Too mature? I just dont understand why SO many kids are smoking, drinking, cussing, being provacative, listening to "anti-christ" music, being disrespectful to peers and adults , and having an "idgaf" (i dont give a ___) apathetic attitude!! Its really so crazy to me, im not sure why but more than anything it gives me a righteous anger and breaks my heart at the same time.
Is this lifestyle something they think is "good"? Necessary? Half the time the things they are doing are illegal and they are in constant hiding from parents or authorities and having to be on the down low like 24/7, is it even necessary to have to go through that JUST to have the label on your life as "good" and just to be seen as someone who dosent care and is a rebel? like foreal y'all?
I was talking with a friend about this subject also and it was a mutual feeling between us that most people just live for a title and to be recognized as a "pot-head" or as "sexy" or even the cliche "cool".


     This just makes me think more and more how important it is for me and you and others to SET an example for our own generation, I feel like ever since I went off to college, I've been noticing so much more corruption and God is giving me a piece of his heart, but thats not something I am ( or you ;) ) are supposed to ignore. Whether or not I agree with how my generation is living , its just fuel to my fire to keep fighting the good fight and living for God; putting HIM on display!! 



1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
