Is this the Norm?
I logged on today, and hit the answer button. After browsing through several pages, I was just flabbergasted. 12 year olds pregnant, questions on how to get younger girlfriend to have sex, cheating cheating cheating, skin lightening?? Oh and the question of why is my step brother making moves on me? I am horrified to know that this generations' kids are plagued by these issues. All of this technology, and our kids are exposed to mind numbing "reality t.v." and suggestive, if not downright pornographic lyrics in songs. How are we allowing our children to become infested with this? How can we sit here and condone this happening? Is my generation is a lazy, mindless, selfish, self righteous bunch of freaks who are allowing their kids to be parented by "popular" culture? Where are the PARENTS? So absorbed in their own petty lives that their 12 year old children are pro-creating? A little girl hates the color of her skin, so she applies chemicals to try to fit this ignorant image of perfection? I am not trying to sound uptight , but I am truly moved by this. And a bit scared. It breaks my heart to think that we as a nation are polluting our kids for the sake of a profit, or own own personal gain. So my question is, at what point do we say enough is enough?
