Every generation makes the same statement about the generation behind them, “If this is what we have to rely upon, what will happen to this world?” We tend to think they are lazier than us, don’t excel as we did or take the responsibility as seriously as we did. History has taught us however that the world continues to move forward, but I must admit as I get older I too look at my child’s generation and feel the same way.
Today’s world of “My Space” and “Face Page” has created a generation of communication individuals and it’s out of control. If you haven’t taken the time to view your child’s My Space page, you need to invade their privacy and do so; I guarantee that you will be not only amazed, but shocked at the conversations that are being held on these pages. It’s disgusting, vile and juvenile and these are “young adults” at the age of 20 up to the sad age of 35, acting like a bunch of Jr. High School kids. It’s sad.
Now, as always, I’m sure some people use it nicely and use it for good use, but trust me, so many do not. If you are one of those individuals that do not abuse these pages, good for you and you can respect I’m not talking about you, but the others that do abuse. The pictures of girls, half dressed, if not naked and what are they thinking? Does this make them think men will respect them? The conversations about sex and what girls are willing to do for boys, again do they think that is going to gain them respect? It is just a shame that young girls view sexual acts as a mean to get attention and/or popularity from guys.
As a woman of 40 you wish you could tell them they have an entire future in front of them with opportunities and advantages, why do they want to waste it acting like a fool, writing trash, putting their pictures on a web site, and letting the world know of their sexual acts? We need our girls to be more powerful and realize they can be more in life than this.
If you have a young daughter, or even a son, read their My Space page and get involved, you will be shocked. Don’t think “your child is different” or “your child just isn’t that bold or brave”, trust me you might just be surprised.
