teens apparently are hooking up rather than dating today.

This is a rather disturbing, extensive article on trends in dating that are stemming from how the internet is making it easier to meet people you don't know.

Outgoing and attractive, she's had a boyfriend for a couple of months, but they haven't even kissed yet.
You mean that's unusual? Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong all this time... :doh:

j/k :wink:

I think a lot of the segregation of the cultural wars stems from our very different sexual ethics.

I could be out getting laid...

You sound, well... very sound minded.

The essence of the war is enculturalation...
... into the culture of "its a man's (teenage boy's) world.

Girls gone crazy after them, when the boys are hardly ripe for "good pickin,'" between 13 and 28, (28, the average age for sttling down into marriage).

Seems to be asking for STD, 1.5 million annual abortion, infidelity leading to 60% divorce rate, single parent homes, infertility, sexual abuse, and daughters raised for the same paganistic cultural trip.

Adolescence

What is life, if not fun!
Goin' school, layin' in the sun.
Humpin' girls, Devil may care,
Practicin' for middle age affair.

Let's do drugs, while we wait.
What's more fun, on a date?
Marriage time is way off...
We'll imitate the monkey and the sloth.

Welfare thru the roof...
Use condoms, don't be a goof!
Murder babies, or tax to pay,
With this system, we will stay.

Anti- or Pro, from Moses' day,
Arguments,... while we the girls lay.
Rolling dope and in the hay,
Please, continue the debate, we pray.

Mom and dad, let us play,
In adolescence we wanta stay.
Party both night and day,
Sexual pleasure straight or gay.

Yes, abortion seems a crime
During our long adolescence time.
But, sex is soooo much fun,
We'll kill a daughter or our son.

STD and Aids,
Homo-gay blades,
Crime for drugs,
And Rap promotin' thugs...

13 to 30... This is fun!
Join GenX, and get some.
Stretch out school,
dumbin' down, actin' the fool.

College now is 7 years,
Dormin' together, no more jeers.
Oral sex recommended by peers,
Brushin' hard to end chlamydia fears.

Use my daughter, just for fun!
Men no longer use the shotgun.
Spread her legs, make a grandson,
Kill the Bastard when you're done.

This is 2003...
By 2K50, where we be?
Is the next Big Bubble to burst,
Will our Empire do better? Do worse?

Haven't they all fell?
Mocked by History, gone to hell...
Was it sexual witchcraft?
Or, that the men refused the draft?

Why not be Anti- or Pro,
Never let the argument go.
Prevent the focus on the sex,
Go "F" yourself, says Gen X.

We've got a roof, and plenty drugs,
Don't do good in school no mo'
We lay the ladies before they're wife.
We love this hedonistic life!

I could be out getting laid...

No you couldn't becuase your obnoxious annoying and probably fat.

[themuzicman]

Wow... what a suprise... A generation throws off all morality, and their kids follow in their footsteps. What a shocker... :ahem:

[Taffsadar]

To be honest, it's sensationalist crap. It's not common practice for anyone I know.

Youths around here are actually behaving pretty responsibly (theres alot of kissing going on at partys but not much more), sure we got a better sex education here but I doubt it can't be much worse in the good old US.

Having recently been a teen, I can say this isn't true. I used to read articles like this when i was sixteen and wondered why I was missing out. But everyone else I know wondered the same thing. It is, in MHO, bs.

Why is it "rather disturbing," LW? I would think that you of all people would support it, claiming that it's making the best of an already fallen situation.
