>>Fixing the educational system could be one way to do it.>>

Education has no impact on morals of a teenager. If parents do their jobs, and place their kids ABOVE their careers (but not above eachother), this example would be isolated, not more common.

If kids were REQUIRED to grow up with responsibility, she is right, the issues would minimize. History speaks of that. Only in our recent 40 years have the plague issues at issue here been so prevalent in modern Western society, made so by increasing information without correlating responsibility.

Simply, education and information are not wisdom and do not become wisdom. Wisdom is passed down... either by parents, or by the cute guy in math class.

I agree with you morals argument, but I not sure if you're reading what I'm saying.

While I wish morals alone taught by parents could keep people from having pre-marital sex for 10+ years after puberty, we have to admit to ourselves that lenthy ammount of time it's a stretch for most people. This was not how it was done 2000 years ago. People got married at puberty!

I'm simply saying we're putting ourselves at an environmental disadvantage by un-naturally prolonging our adolescence. I'm proposing making things more traditional, which of course would be more conducive to living Christian moral lives.
