But there is no question that by having two attractive characters engage in unwed pregnancy, the producers of Friends have made that situation more socially acceptable, at least to some impressionable kids who may not have mature parental guidance. Friends is a funny program with great actors and writers. Surely you can develop plot lines that accentuate positive behavior. Once again, this isn't a sex thing. We're living in a world where just about anything goes, and that is damaging us as a people.
Kids tend to be egocentric and live in the present.
If they see certain types of behavior glamorized, that behavior becomes more attractive. I hope everybody gets that. Millions of American babies are being born out of wedlock. Most of those children will suffer because of it. I wonder if we'll see that kind of an episode on Friends .
