I am not sure if this is what you are asking, but.......I think that teens lack someone to talk to. The teens today have possessions, tv's, tivo, Iphone, Ipod, lap tops, they have possessions, but no one to talk to. I think this is why there are so many cutters and suicides these days. They do not have anyone teaching them how to deal with their problems, they don't have anyone who will just listen to them talk. Their parent works to death, they don't appear to have extended family, or even church family. You have to be careful not to tell your secrets to your best friend, because if you have a fight with your best friend, all your secrets are plastered all over the internet on my space or face book. You can't tell your problems to your teachers, or school counselor because they will tell your parents, and if your parents are the problem.......So no one is teaching them how to deal with bullies, or what to do if your boyfriend/girlfriend breaks up with you. What do you do when your parents get divorced or your dog dies. No one is teaching them to deal with their problems, nobody is listening to them, the tv is raising them half the time. It just makes me sad.
