No, when I was 10 - that would be about 4th grade, none of my friends were doing such things. By the way I grew up in Chicago even! Now, the teen years were a whole new ballgame. The children today learn way too much - way too soon in my opinion. The schools also teach them things in hopes that they stay away.....but maybe this has backfired.

I just wonder if this is just another sign of the end times nearing? I think that Christ will find little faith when he returns as it is now, but after my generation, will there even be one drop in the entire sea of faith for Christ to bring forth?
All things are possible with God, but like sodom and gomora [sp?] will he find even 10 righteous among all the worlds people? Perhaps 8?!
God bless,
Alex

Alex,
I do believe we are nearing the end of the age.

Alex,
In my younger days, I too lived in California (Costa Mesa/Huntington Beach). And, "there is nothing new under the sun."
However, Redbird and Chris are absolutely correct.

Hi All. Just thinking of this very thing tonite driving home.
I have to believe the breakdown of the family unit is one of the blights on our society. I am not necessarily talking of divorce in and of itself.
I am talking it is perfectly OK to never get married and have several children by diff. men. (I teach these kids each year). Also the single mom, who brings into the home, a man, usually a stranger to the children, and expect everyone to make nice. Men who come into the home, when the mom full well knows the kids don't like him. (again, this is so routine in my classroom). Men who bring their kids into a home and expect the kids to get along. Dads in jails. Moms in jail. Raised by grandma and the grandpa is in jail. Mom just up and leaves the dad and kids.
THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!! I have seen it all and then some, and I am sure I will get something new and different this year.
Yes, I know this is God's will, but I am just saying......
Unless it is God's will to change us, I would have to agree that this country (and most industrial, modern nations) are going down the toilet!!
Alex, when I was 10 I knew for sure boys had cooties!!!!
My mom stayed home and cooked. My dad worked and was home by 5. I played outside w/ neighbor kids till the street lights went on. I never heard any cussing. TV didn't teach me things or show me things that I shouldn't know about. (Think Leave it to Beaver) I wouldn't dare get in trouble at school. I got spanked if I sassed or lied or hit my sister. Every week end we saw all our aunts, uncles, cousins.
That was mostly in the 1950's. In 1962, parents divorced, mom went to work and life for me changed.

Haha yea, what you describe is a whole ntoher world to me, i mean i feel like im in the twighlight zone when you talk about this kind of stuff, it truly is other wordly to me.
A family? Whats that? haha.
To jer;
Ty for the verse it is true, but it just makes you wonder.... is really NOTHING new under the sun, is this an absolute statement from God, or a relative statement to man? I Think it smore along the lines of Absolute from God's point of view, or am i wrong?
God bless,
Alex
