Excellent article! Though we are not seeing such things in India, it will not be very far in time to go through same emotions and feelings towards our erring children; things like this but less intense are indeed happening here, as the kids want to be 'mordern' 'sociable' mixing freely with the opposite sex, which is not culturally sanctioned here in south India. However the emerging trends prompted by Info Tech promote everything that didnot have social and cultural sanctions in this society. Money is the bottomline; however much you can make is the goal, that girls and boys work 3 shifts, even through the night! The demands have forced the familys to accept this; so the kids are not to be blamed, as the peer pressure from the counter culture is so strong inspite of the good family bringing-up, etc. Pray they will perceive Love and not be duped by the precept that Sex is Love!

Thanks for the information and new insights for me. My 2 daughters are grown with young families of their own and I have been out of the teen-age culture for a while. However, I am the coordinator of a new ministry at our church, which is a Girls Mentoring Ministry. The more I become involved, the more the Lord is opening up to me about what is happening in 2007! I am not shocked, but I am deeply grieved. thanks for the article to open our eyes and be on the lookout to stand firm for our beliefs in a GOD-driven, moral-based world.

Susan, I want to thank you for the article, your leadership and your courage. There ARE things we can do. The government has effectively put a damper on the tobacco industry by taxing and litigating the tobacco industry. It's about time we start applying the same effective strategy. Tobacco executives were put on trial for the health concerns of those who smoked their products. When television executives and corporation CEO’s start finding themselves in court rooms trying to defend what it is they are selling and promoting to our children things can and will change.
