[QUOTE="DDD, post: 60994, member: 35"] I don't envy your guys. As you know I have a multi-generational viewpoint. I got thru my kids alright until GFGmom was in high school but there is a huge difference. easy child/difficult child was surrounded by the most active, highest achieving, church active group of young teen leaders. They started "going with" one another in about fifth grade BUT all that meant was that they might hold hands and everyone talked about who was "going with" who each day...lol. By middle school they all went to parties at least once each weekend (the group was about 50 or so kids) and at least 1/4 of the parents stayed and chaperoned the whole evening. How shocked I was to find out years later from easy child/difficult child how few made it TO high school pure! Even though I detest listening to people talk about it...lol...I really sincerely do believe that the influence of television has had a major affect on this generation. My generation snuck books to try to figure out how any living creature "mated". Now, you can just watch a soap opera and you know how the puzzle works.DDD [/QUOTE]
