Lately I've been seeing more and more depictions of American teens in a negative sense. The more I see it the more it makes sense. I always hear about how things used to be and I could never imagine living back then, and working that hard. I always see articles about teenagers and their depressing problems. It is true that lots of teens are drinking and behaving badly. Drugs are used by kids younger and younger each year. Its ridiculous!
It is also obvious that kids are having sex at younger and younger ages. Everyone is getting pregnant at 16 now. There is even a stupid over rated show on MTV that sends a horrible message about our generation. Every minutes on TV there is something about sex or related to sex. We constantly see commercials that are very sexual. It is embarrising to me and a lot of other teens to only hear bad things about ourselves. Not all people of our generation are drug craving sex addicts.
On the contrary there are many teens that love abusing drugs and alcohol. It is one of the greatest topics of interest. Everywhere you go you will hear somebody saying something closely related to sex or drugs. I believe that our generation was ruined by the alcohol abusing generation in front of us. We were all influenced in some way by someone older, and this put the idea into our heads. I guaruntee if older people didn't talk about sex in front of us or smoke in front of us we would all be a lot different.
Parents and adults need to watch what they expose to younger children because it may have some effect of them in the future. Watching what you do around a kid can make room for a better life in the future. The teens of our generation need to put a stop to this ongoing problem.
I think it's because people no longer have values
