MooMoo! said:oh, erm with regards to teenagers and kids these days, i think its safe to say kids have always been unruly and hard to control, but in this day and age, kids are growing up to fast. they seem to forget childhood completely, and are missing out the innocent part of their life. its a shame, because if things keep going the way they are, id hate to bring my kids up (if i ever have any) in this sort of environment. i see it in school, not even like rumours, but people openly disscusing who slept with who, and people taking drugs downtown at lunchtime. i know for fact at least 2 people in my year have been, or are pregnant.
its gone too far.
Just reading back at a few other posts, I have to say that I think it all starts at home. It’s too easy to blame society, when many of these attitudes are fostered in our homes and only later hit the street and become "the norm." I’m not in kid-mode at the moment, though one day I’d like to have kids. What I’d tell them is that life is a rush of craziness, chaos, and beauty, and it’s important to have a kind of moral compass to sift through it all. I’ve often found myself cringing in the company of some of my friends’ parents and relatives. Some of the attitudes about women, other races, other countries, and other people, in general, are scary. These are attitudes that repeat themselves, unless there’s a way for kids to leave the ignorance of the last generation behind.
love_u2_adam, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders for your age. If you take pride in your originality, great things (and great friends), will follow.
