Why?
Here is the Question. Why is there so much promiscuity among younger children?
I am referring to those from Jr High up through High school. A radio show here in Dallas said that many blame Bill Clinton. Personally I think that is giving him too much credit. One of the hosts, pretty much hit it on the nose. He called the younger set the "Girls gone Wild" Generation. It is really a combination of things Societial changes, starting with MTV with Shows like the Real World and many of the reality shows that glorify promiscuity on the part of women.
Truth be known when I was in school, ( the Stone Ages), the closest you got to sex was french kissing at the drive-in. I was still a product of that time showing married couples sleeping in seperate beds and there was not even insinuated sex.
Do parents have some of this blame in this, sure we do. We have not disciplined our kids like our parents did, but of course if we did it would be child abuse. In addition to that, we have taken the ability to enforce discipline away from the schools.
I see the future, the pendulum swinging the other way and we will go back to a strict & conservative way of raising children. This way is not best either as when that era becomes of age they go wild when the freedom comes to them and it all ends up in a cycle where there is no happy medium.
There is no set answer on how to raise kids, but I think we need a learning environment that teaches values and respect, which I find lacking in today's youth.

Mothers left the home! Soon kids were learning from peers in the street. They get together and watch dirty videos 'til 5pm after school, then quickly clean up before mom or dad comes home. They experiment with anything,placing drugs, rings and things in every orafice! They stopped going to church. Etc. Thats why they are going to **** in a handbasket.
