What should we do?
Nothing.
Teens want to be idiots so badly, and dismiss moral behavior because it’s so old-timey, then dont look for a shoulder to cry on when the animals you roll with turn you into the world’s biggest “slut” with the dirtbag you decided to play doctor with in A FIELD!
I was a teen in the 90s (Pre Monica) and even the slang term for this was never spoken out loud without it being shocking.
Heaven help these kids today.
Old Timey Wisdom has been around a long time for a reason...
Or else it wouldn’t have been around all that long.
Learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it.
Oh, puh-lease! This generation did not invent sex. Get over it. The very same sort of public sex and nudity went on back in the 60s, after the pill became available. The baby boomers rebelling against the mores of the more conservative war generation. Two generations before that, hedonism ruled in the 1920s, when women’s liberation movement scored its big victory and decided that free sex was the next step. College students in the 20s engaged in the same drunken orgies you’ll find on campuses today. No doubt they were not happy about their conservative parents’ morals.
Go two generations before that and you’ll hit the civil war, which probably prevented a hedonistic decade (at least, I haven’t heard of one at that time). Barring exceptional circumstances, the conservative-liberal oscillations seem to go on, with each generation rebelling against its parents. This most certainly was so in ancient Greece, and before that in Egypt. Ancient egyptian women were quite adept at making sexy clothing.
So please stop pretending you’re the first to discover conservative values, or that today’s teenagers are in any way exceptional. The only real difference today is that pictures of everything get published. In ancient Egypt all they had was gossip. They survived, and so shall we.
