Youth of Today

Ipods, handphones, counter-strike, internet...that's what this new generation only knows and lives by. Kids are learning to smoke or take drugs even before they learn how to play football or hide-n-seek. Who do we blame ? The government? The Parents? The schools ? The media ? Who is behind this mess ?

Let's take a look at the media. TV and newspapers are full of announcements that some kid shot another in a high school or something like that.Basically negative news sells and that's what's being glorified. Likewise...Cheap music, poor artists, twisted western cultures have invaded classrooms and living rooms these days that kids have even began to choose their wrong role models.

Family oriented tv sitcoms have been replaced with reality shows glorifying fake idols and violence. Dramas have become more gruesome and immoral thanks to show like CSI and Desperate Housewives.What can a kid learn from someone like Paris Hilton ? First of all reality shows are fixed. It's a shame most people think there is a genuine competition going on.
It's basically a sham.
The producers have already chosen their winners before the competition begin.
