You can see and hear things that just make you shake your head and wonder who raised this kids?
I was in Wal-Mart (in a nice area BTW). A group of rowdy teenagers came through walking down the main aisle while I was sorting through coupons and looking at cereal. I heard them before I saw them. The first set was a couple of guys and one girl. The young girl shouted out, "I don't f'in stink. I f'in bathed." So I looked over to see who was coming up talking so crudely. As she and her entourage passes, she raises her arm and sniffs under it. The other set of teenagers (I think both sets were all together) were dressed up in some weird outfits--obviously costumes and not just the regular weird costumes they normally wear. I don't know what they were celebrating but I continued standing in the cereal aisle and I could hear them from way across the store. The first set passed again down a different main aisle and (I think it was armpit girl again) and the girl must have said something else rude as another woman with a young boy had a shocked look on her face as they marched past. I didn't catch her second oral presentation. They came in like a tornado and soon left--not sure if they were asked to leave or not.

I'm on my way right now! Thanks! [grin]
An in-law recently found a backpack of a highschool girl. She had an Ipod (I'm so out of it I don't know what that is) and a digital camera and her journal in the backpack. Well the inlaw looked at the pictures on the camera and they were of girls kissing in the school bathroom. The in-law also read the journal--I think that included some racy stuff as well. I was surprised because the inlaw was thinking about not returning the electronic items. Anyway, I told her she should return the items to the parent. Not sure if she did or not.
So all this girls gone wild/MTV/spring break/flash your boobs mentality gets instilled in young people. I know there are some male FReepers here that think this is a cool idea but I have thought for a long time and firmly believe that being fiscally conservative and morally conservative go hand in hand.
Our society is encouraging girls to be promiscous and wear skimpy clothing. It coarsens young people. Girls that
are promiscous at young ages often times don't trust men. Young girls engage in pre-marital sex with many partners and they get sexual transmitted diseases. They have abortions or they are single mothers. Single mothers don't usually do well financially. Therefore the child(ren) are going to be raised in less than optimal circumstances--no dad around. This will affect his future--his outlook on life. We pay for this breakdown in civility--it hits us in the pocketbook. It hits us through crime.
