Maybe its the generation I grew up with, but I'm aware of the reckless behaviors they engage in which is part of their culture.  Even the seemingly most conservative of them.  And if I didn't have kids or if they were beyond adolescence, I suppose I wouldn't be concerned so much.

Call me selfish or antiquated, but I want my kids to get married and have kids as all generations in my family have.  Just last week one of my daughter's friends from college, decided that she was bisexual.  This is a Catholic girl who used to read in church and who attended church regularly with her married parents and siblings.  For most of her adolescence she had steady boyfriends.  But she got involved in theater, and is now living in Manhattan where she lives with a lesbian, a gay man.  It's going to break her parents' hearts when they find out their daughter has entered a world of sexual confusion and instability.  This coming-out-bi is becoming a common story in my kids' schools.  It's messed up.
