You don't sound at all like an old woman, Griffin. You are right and I worry when I see/hear kids' attitudes.

I conducted a survey among 14/15yos and they were almost unanimous in claiming they weren't influenced by their popular media. Obviously they are influenced tremendously by it but they don't see it that way.

There is also a culture here (presumably in most parts of the UK) that girls 'celebrate' their 16th birthday by losing their virginity (those that still have it) and they don't seem to care to whom.
