Essay 5 topic
I would like to write about how the media is making kids try and grow up way too fast. Considering all the "teen mom" nonsense and other such media atrocities, I figured it would be an interesting topic to write about.
Yes. That the media has so downgraded the severity of unplanned teenage pregancy/random unprotected sex with teens that it's now running rampant. The idea of glamorizing and even idolizing people like those "Teen Mom" lunatics makes it even worse. I would propose a nation-wide attempt (mostly by parents) to get back to some more intelligent, not to mention moral, principles such as not giving out free condoms in public high schools that, 10-2-% of the time don't even work. Or maybe just more realistic education on what is more likely to happen if teenagers keep getting each other pregnant.
Sounds like good causation. Do you have a proposal in mind?
