I needed a friend to clarify this but now I get it. So I was thinking about the whole dating game today and how it's changed so much from back then. I guess I haven't lived long enough to know, compared to the generation of my parents, but I can say that whatever the game is today I really don't want it to get worse for our next generation behind us. I see right now my generation youngins of our 30's and below are going to run things in the next 2 decades. And I'm afraid that values and morals are slowing being put to the side for mainstream media and what society depicts as "in or out". I for one don't watch television anymore so I couldn't tell you what's hip or not. Nor do I care, but what I do care are the young kids falling into this trap. Instead of focusing on their individuality they are slowly following television on what they think they should be. When I was younger we didn't watch much television. Me, my brother and sister always played outside and hung outside till the sun went down. With video games, internet, and reality shows, it's become such a brain teaser and before you know it they'll reach their adolescent years with no source of foundation of values and direction on what's important in life. I feel for these kids and I just hope my generation now doesn't allow this to continue to happen. I hope these kids find themselves early before they easily drift off to being part of society to where young kids have to harden their hearts for fear of getting hurt or playing games for personal gratification. I know this is an ongoing cycle but I want young girls and boys to at least in their lifetime to experience puppy love and not be so dogged out and pregnant so soon to where they lose their childhood. Before it was a rare exception but I hope the next generation doesn't think it's common. I would hope we all continue to maintain that age of innocence for our young kids and maybe they can change the game in their lifetime.

The hand that rocks the cradle is the cradle that rules the world.
