Guys & Gals in late teens or early 20's please answer?

Question

I recently have noticed many people in their late teens(18-19) and early 20's feel it is absolutely necessary to live with their bf/gf just because they think it's the thing to do in to pop-culture. They also feel they need to spend the night, or many nights with them because of pop-culture as well. It seems alot of this ideology is pushed upon them current TV shows like Howard Stern, Road Rules, The O.C., and basically anything that's on MTV or VH1.

Do you, or did you feel your values were impressed upon you by TV shows or by your parents? If you answered by TV shows, how did you feel when you found out that's not the right way to go, and lastly, what will you do when YOUR kids follow this same ideology or whatever is prominant at the time they're in this age group?

Answer 1

I don't feel that pop culture has made want to do anything that I already wouldn't have done.. teenagers are the same now as before. I mean WAY before when people got married and had kids at 17 18 years old. We are reverting to primitive times and need to evolve again. Everywhere we look there is sex and it is the parents responsibility to raise their children with the morals that they want them to have. If you raise your children to have good morals and have a strong family back ground than TV will not change that person to become someone else. I got married right out of high school (18). Not because of TV but because I had good morals to do what was right (no not pregnant) and I love my husband(we knew what we wanted). We did live together for 4 months before getting married but we were engaged and my parents had approved of us living together prior to wedding.

As for future generations it will be the same. Parents of now and the future it is your job to raise the future leaders of america to be the kind of person you want them to be. If you don't do it maybe TV will.

Answer 2

This depends totally on the family relations. If parents have given the teens good lessons on values of life, their friendship will remain with in the limits. If there has been a vacuum in the care and love from parents to their children, the teens fall easily into the BF/GF scenerio resulting in an aimless life cycle. Enjoyment and sex becomes predominant in identity crisis situation ( teen ageing) and unless proper councelling is given at apropriate tiem, the teens become families without knowing what a family is.

Answer 3

all and sundry formulates their values based off their existence expierences. despite in case you get it drilled into you via your persons or getting it from the tube, this is all aside of residing and studying. what pisses me off approximately rants like your's is which you eliminate all threat that the guy observing the television has any skill to filter out the tips being shown and sort in the time of the undesirable and the good. you won't be ready to assmue that somebody is narrowminded and a "slave to the media" based on the courses they watch. i'm no longer denying that it must be actual often times yet don't be as narrowminded because of the fact the folk you're attempting to attack and open up your question a sprint. If 2 human beings desire to stay with one yet another I doubt their proposal could come from the television, think of roughly what you're asserting in the previous you communicate and make a fool out of your self.
