I remember a time, when friends actually meant something, relationships were something worked on and honour and integrity were important qualities for one to possess. Now, all we see/hear/read in the media is about how friends turn on one another, kill, maim those that once meant something to them. Reality t.v. has taken over the media landscape and all anyone is interested in is who's bedding whom, who's divorced, married or fighting thier best friend over some guy/girl. It's become the norm to write songs about cheating spouses, boyfriends/girlfriends sleeping with thier best friend.
Maybe, there's something wrong with me, but I don't see the point in this. Since when, did it become kosher to have so many dishonorable traits and to advertise this to the youth of society? We wonder why children are having kids so young, and have so many different fathers to thier children? It's pretty obvious that we've cocooned the youth into believing this is the norm when in fact that's not at all how thier parents were raised. People follow the Hollywood trends like that's a reasonable way to live, when in fact it's probably the opposite of what we want the children to learn.
