Struggle

A funny thought entered my mind as I was walking to the train station. After I wrote my suicide post, Jane wrote her post and she posed some interesting questions. Are we weak as a generation?

Yes.

I think society as a whole has diluted the minds of young people with its MTV and lack of family values.

We see Sweet 16, the Hills, Gossip Girl, and we think we should live this way. It is our right. And then...


Reality hits us in the stomach...

I mean, I love MTV because I know the difference between entertainment and reality...but I worry for our youth that don't. It's like, people don't have any morals anymore...any standards...any principles. I really think it's beyond time for men to stand up and make sure their children stand for something before letting them walk out into the world.

I concur with you and Chris. I remember the old MTV, real world. I give it credit for my tolerance for people of different backgrounds. But i must admit i thought spring break would be like spring breaks on mtv. never was. Even the cosby show or different world or living single partially distorted my view of reality and i'm so disappointed with true life. But i worry more for those youth who are growing up in this age of gratuitous sex, violence, substance abuse, etc. I hope they don't think these things are normal...
