Dalton's blog reminded me of this comic.Interestingly enough, this is what typically occurs with kids.
Another interesting thought that came to mind as I read his blog is how the different generations of youth was influenced by the media.
In high school, I would think each year how the new "freshies" seemed to get worse and worse each year. As I examined how the media has changed throughout the years, I've come up with a theory as to why those "freshies" seem to digress. Whatever is played on the radio, shown on TV, or put on the internet, kids WILL somehow be influenced. If the younger children actually think what is in the media is how the older 'kids' act, then they will idolize that particular behavior. Now, some of the media-inspired behavior does exist through all ages but those behaviors will become more wide-spread, as time has shown. Just a theory..
