American Girls Please Quit

Taking a serious moment. Let's put up the "Shits About to Get Real" sign and talk about some not so funny stuff.
I cannot really take the moral high ground on this issue. Afterall I don't sleep with random dick, but shit happens, so who am I to really judge? However I feel like American girls need to hear it because it's making us all look bad.
When I was 18 I was more serious than my peers. I was a suburbs kid who grew up in a wealthy middle class neighborhood with a lack of rules so I had middle and high school years filled with partying. I liked to pick and choose what classes I went to like I was in college or something, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA and acceptance into a good school in London despite that, because I may have the wrong priorities, but I'm book smart. So when 18 came around I had already been partying and going to raves for 6 years and believe me that shit gets old.
But I know not all girls grow up with such lax parental supervision so 18 is your "go wild" period. I get that you're finally throwing off your shackles and getting out from under your parent's thumb. You want to do hoodrat shit and you're moving to a new country like France so go wild right?
No. Please don't. It's not cute and it's a bit sad. Being a dumb ho is not the look. To Frenchmen American girls are known as being easy. Probably because there are stupid American girls who drop their panties over the slightest bit of an accent despite the guy being a total plonker. I personally don't see the appeal of Frenchmen. The accent doesn't get the panties wet.
But I get it, it's new, it's exciting and you can drink at 18! But you don't need to get sloppy and you don't need to sit on every dumb dick that pays you attention. You're American, you're reputation is already cemented. You don't have to fall for it.
And don't fall for the "go to Montmartre" line. Who were the dumb girls that started that trend? Had they visited any other parts of the city because frankly there are better places to see (unless drunk dudes and the smell of piss are your thing). But if you have to make the trip, do it yourself or go with some girlfriends.
Respect yourself, make sure you vet the shit out of the guy, and don't give it up just because it has an accent. We all know you weren't raised to be a dumb twat so don't act like one now. Believe me, you don't want to end up with a story like mine. They may not all be like that, but you won't know if you drop the drawers the first night.
