Tonda,
I don't think you're giving the kids of today enough credit.
Someone experimenting with pot at a party is one thing. Going through the stages of drug abuse to the point of having to deal with an overdose is quite another.
As for girls getting pregnant. I think that you're assuming that what these girls wear mean that they hop into bed with every Ron, Dick or Harry that they meet. I don't think that could be further from the truth.
Kids are most certainly more mature than when I was a kid, but they also have infinetely more information available to them as well.
Geez, the one thing I keep hearing over and over from the feminist pov is that just because women wear something that makes them feel sexy, that doesn't mean that they're out to have sex.
Panky,
I most definetely agree with you on the manners thing. Blame the lawyers.
