As An 18 year old high school junior I've noticed many things. One thing I've noticed that bothers me most is the lack of intrest in anything. It's amazing to me how many teenagers have no passion. No one seems to care.
When I go to school and watch the students interact around me, all they seem to talk about its sex, alcohol and partying. No one is discussing world events, their future, or their passions. Life for teenagers has become so shallow. I find this is due to the amount of pop-culture teens take in. Think about it.
