[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 411025, member: 6370"] I really hate the way parents are depicted as being idiots in a lot of teen shows. I realize that I am a fossil, but in my youth, kids went to parents for advice, these days the wise and "with it" teen sort of sneers impatiently at the stupidity of his/her parent. Then the adult is set straight by the child. UGH! I also worry about the violence causing our children to become desensitized. I was watching the storming of the beach in Saving Private Ryan, the scene in which a young soldier is writhing in pain, his abdomen blown open, the dying boy is trying to put his entrails back in, screaming "Mama! Mama!". A young friend of our difficult children just laughed! That was one of the most gut wrenching movie scenes and this kid just found it appropriate to laugh. [/QUOTE]
