The attention that young teens face today comes with a higher degree of danger. After all, we are progressive, criminal or not, and we are always seeking ways to constantly modify and improve on our methods of living. Regardless of which side of the law you wish to stand on, this is a human trait which everyone posses'. Even those we call pedophiles, rapists, muggers, gangbangers, etc. Every generation has its reasoning for exploration.
Every generation also feels that situations are different today.
And they are right. Mistakes have been made. Some have been learned, remembered and noted in our history books. As in our school system, information can be written and remembered but too often the information, which is fed to us, is not learnt and understood. We have yet to ask them to explain to us what they understand of these explanations that can be fatal to their health and well being.
