Hey Parents....
This morning I was looking through a site that I occasionally go to to see some info and thoughts about a variety of "pop culture" issues. As I was reading through this article and researching some of the info myself I had a couple of thoughts.
Thought #1 -How many of you are out there trying to find out the truth and reality of what your kids are daily being bombarded with? If you are...awesome...what resources are you using? Please comment and share those resources. The rest of us could probably use them. If you are not trying to learn about this stuff...why?
Thought #2 -I realized just how "uncool" I have become. Do you remember the days when you did not have to "research" pop-culture? You just knew it...and you actually were a part of pop culture. Those days are long gone for us...but that does not excuse us from trying to understand it. Once we have become so uncool that we no longer get pop-culture we tend to either try to ignore it or we paint it as 100% bad and a detriment to society. But isn't that the very same thing that we despised about adults when we were that age? I for one would rather be "uncool" and try to research this stuff some in order to better understand the world that these guys live in. That does not mean we condone or accept it all...but we at least try to understand it.
Thought #3- I thought that maybe this site that I was reading might be useful to some of you... as always, I do not endorse or agree with everything that these guys say...but I have found it useful and thought provoking and maybe you will also.
