The Fad That Evolved Into a Habit

The JEJEMON website

Wow, I just saw this a few minutes ago, and I really can't believe that they have a website, and I think it's not a free hosting, since it says http://www.jejemons.org/.

I just can't believe it!

I am not a supportive of these JEJEMONS. I just think that it is not a fad. Because as it turned out, this fad has evolved into a habit, and those youths that started this type of 'language' and 'culture' are now feeling the effects of this so-called fad. What was a fad became a habit, and the habit seems to have become their way of life. That is why this website here says that a certain percentage of employers are likely not to hire applicants using the language.

I think this is fair enough. There are a lot of youths out there who are struggling to study hard and keep it right. They do not go out of their way just to give in to peer pressure even if it means that they would not be as popular as those who adapt the jejemon language and the culture.

In fact, I admire those youths who, after all the hardship of peer pressure, still come out as one of the best students of their class.

i think it is here to stay. it gives the youngsters who are deep into it some kind of a status, and they are proud of it. as much as we are amused by its popularity and influence, i guess we just need to accept it but not adopt it. :-) chheeerzz!

That's a good point. People are accepting it but not exactly adopting it. That's why it's just right that it shouldn't be encouraged when applying for jobs.
