Teens having babies

Teens getting pregnant is on the rise, since when has been okay to talk about sex have 15 yr old girl get pregnant on TV. The Secret Life of an American Teenager. I feel that by showing some of those things it may make other kids their age want to go out and have sex maybe even unprotected sex. Though it may have some good morals it still has horrible things happening in it. I see both sides to it, its not somethings kids need to see on TV and it could stop or encourage the behavior that is happening on the show. I know it wasnt created to make more kids go out and have sex, but some kids many feel it will make them "cool" or make them fit-in. Personally I hope when I have kids that show is no longer on TV. Nothing against the purpose of the show but many people take it the wrong way. I have watched it but I'm old enough to be able to make decisions and know what could happen. The kids that watch the show are not, they are not fully developed they dont relize the risk other than getting pregnant there are also STDs. They dont think long-term.

Cell Phones

For many people cell phones are a part of our daily lives, even children have cell phones. I remember my first cell phone it was HUGE! I was in the 5th grade and it was a trac-fone. Finally later my mom got me a real phone after she knew I was accountable and responsible for it. But now phones are tiny and can do things better then computers, well thats because they are computers. We are all about technology more technical the better, but would we or I consider that part of our culture. When I pick up my phone every morning before I get out bed I dont view it as culture. It is though, it falls into many different catergories that define culture. Its a value or belief, everyone thinks they need a blackberry or htc or etc. Why does a 11 yr kid need to have a blackberry they dont! We think we need the latest and hottest phone. When really the cheap ones probably work just as good if not better.
