Youth

February 14, 2011 by npilaza

I don’t believe childhood is completely nonexistent but I definitely feel that it has evolved and throughout the years growing into something completely different. When our parents were in their childhood the hardest decision they probably had to make is what to eat for lunch, typically today kids are becoming pressured into more things at a younger age. I know when I was young I didn’t know a lot of what I know now including issues on sexuality, drugs, and sex. Today more and more younger kids are becoming gay or bisexual at ages that they shouldn’t even be worrying about sex at all. I believe that television and the media are definitely contributors to why children are becoming more open to issues so easily. I think parents should become more away of what there children do, watch, and the people they hang around with. I see to many kids cussing, engaging in sexual activity and it just isn’t right.
