[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 18086, member: 1436"] I, too, see more and more kids ruining their lives. I graduated in the early 80's. I was no angel and would have been considered a difficult child in my time, but today I see kids, who instead of just experimenting, are choosing to "live the lifestyle." My students at school are offended when I use the term pot-head loser to desscibe my son. (Well, now I say former pot-head loser.) I told difficult child that over the weekend and he laughed and said, "Well, that was what I used to be. I was just too caught up in it to see it for myself." These kids see their "role" models (for lack of a better word) in the Paris Hilton's and Fity-Cent's of the day. They see sports heros who are paid tremendous amoutns of money and aren't held accountable for their actions on or off the field or court. A long time ago my oldest son wrote a satirical paper on the lack of morals in young people in which he blamed it all on Howard Stern (the shock jock). In it he talked about one parent households, the removal of prayer from schools, and the lack of teaching of values in the home. This was in 2000. I hate to blame the media, the music, but I know that I tried to teach moral values to my difficult child. The lack of those morals in society and in their friends influenced them more than I did. I wish I had an answer, but the more I think about it, the more questions I have about why???? [/QUOTE]
