This needs to be stopped immediately. Is nobody else afraid to have children. i know that "yes" you can raise your kids to be as smart and responsible as you choose, but there is no way to quell rebellious nature. in the past you wold say that you can teach them what they need to know and guide them then hope for the best and hope they've taken your advice; but now everything of the subject is different. The only way to truly protect a child today in my opinion would be to keep them in a box until college and then hope they know what they need to know and are mature enough to not scorn their future with stupid social mistakes that are sheerly for simple pleasure or because they crave attention as part of their natural human spirit.. But then.. whats more wrong with the world.. these occurrences, or the fact that one small mistake could damn you for 50 years because of an over judgmental and liberal society? Look at people like Michael Phelps...He was almost stripped of his record number of olympic medals because he admitted to trying pot, in California of all places.

These kids think "everyone is doing it" but thats nto the case... Everybody who is obsessed with the thoughts of others is doign it, but not the people who have an eye on their future and who have been properly educated.. This is another great downfall of our school system. yes it's better than 11 year olds giving blow jobs on the bus as Oprah so lieks to point out every year or 2... but that doesn;t make it ok. That would be liek saying the old man who slaughters a litter of puppies for amusement is ok because it wasn;t the genocide of an entire tribe in some far away land.

Some of them will miss out on the better opportunities of their lives because of the electronic mistakes they commit now. And the spread of information and the internet need to be taught as something extremely serious like credit. Do you think if Sally and jenna knew their photos they sent to Jim for attention were going to be something their grandkids could google 40 years down the road they'd still send.. no.
