I’m somewhat infamous for speaking my mind, no matter how critical it may be. And recently I called a girl out for making a huge deal out of not being able to go to a tanning bed anymore. The reason? She’d developed white sunspots on her skin.
AND SHE STILL WANTED TO GO.
People are freaking crazy. And my grandparents wonder why I’m so intolerant. But either way, I called her out. She got defensive, called me a few names, and I told her that all of her points were invalid because I was simply stating that tanning was really bad for you, obviously portrayed by her current skin happenings. I told her she was going to get skin cancer at the rate she was going. Then...a crazy thing happened. Her friend butted in, and said, “It’s okay, we can have skin cancer together.” She said it....as if it was a good thing. Further, she said, “Maybe she’s just afraid of going tanning,” referring to me of course. I’m not afraid, I just realize how bad it is for your body. But I was baffled. These girls were idiots. Another guy said, “You know both of my grandparents died of melanoma, and they didn’t even go tanning,” which made the friend sound pretty bad. But I really just can’t believe she looks at skin cancer as something to blow off as if it’s nothing.
Whatever, they’ll all pay in a few years when they have severe skin damage and look like raisins.
