Girls gone bad???

After reading the "Girls Gone Bad" article, I had to look back at my childhood and wonder if my friends and I were that into the news media and the "bad girl" scene. We really weren't. I grew up in a small farm and oil town where we were more interested in going cow tipping or catching gophers than going out drinking and wondering if we had enough cleavage showing. I have seen the tween and teens walking around town and dressing differently than i did at that age, but i'm not sure if there should be as much worry as there is. Just because they dress differently does not necessarily mean that the upcoming generations are going to hell in a hand-basket. For one its just the styles that are coming out. Also, they are just teenagers in a phase. Biologically speaking, children are meant to kind of act out. It biology's way of getting kids out of the house to prevent incest. Saying that sounds a little intense and in some cases kids aren't that bad. But people do grown up and change from how they were in high school and younger. Parents still may want to occasionally watch their children and explain to them whats going on in the news isn't the best way to live a life. However, all this worry that the younger generations are doomed seems a little extreme to me.
