The goofballs, I mean experts, on NPR were trying to explain why teen pregnancy was declining. Funny, they didn't mention the possibility that kids are becoming more conservative, or, heaven forbid, more religious. Now this news. The rats must be very troubled.

As a teacher, from personal experience, it seems crystal clear to me that young people today are becoming more and more conservative. There is no question in my mind. Surveys I've seen appear to support this trend.

Which is exactly what is happening. My girls started public school last year in the 6th and 10th grades and are finding that the 'cool' kids don't want anything to do with sex and drugs! My oldest daughter told me she found out what group she fit into and called it 'straight-edge punk'. Of course I'm thinking straight-edge for cutting lines of coke or about those kids who cut themselves (cutters). What it means is no drugs, no drinking, no smoking, no casual sex... and for some even no caffine.

By the Grace of God my girls are passionate about their relationship with God and we are blessed with a church that has a great youth group. There is much hope for this young generation! :)
