Resolved Question: Why do people rush into drinking/sex/procreating?Am I childish and immature?
I was watching the news and heard about a 13 year old "dating " an adult male, they had consensual sex , this is of course not news as we hear about it often, then I found out my cousin who just turned 14 is seeing some 17 year old that treats her like crap and has some other gfs. It breaks my heart to hear how teens are rushing into something so serious like sex I have always wondered what is going through their heads, I believe sex is something sacred and very intimate, something that coordinates the souls of two people who are in love, not a "I'm horny and I cannot control my hormones" Children should be born into a household full of love, and should not be an "oops" or accident, I mean do people who get pregnant very young, notice they hold a human's life in their hands and how precious it is.
And in school I've heard of many girls who have a hangover every monday.
I'm 17 and trying to preserve my childhood(which was the happiest time of my life), I still watch cartoons and play video games from my time and I avoid the immoralities of the modern world I am not pious but I think some teens are rushing. Call me a grandma but I believe in moderation and abstinence. Sometimes I think I am really immature for not having a bf , but then I see girls with their swollen bellies and hear about overdosed teens rushed to the hospitals and I am reminded of why is better to be a an akward loner who reads books.
Do you believe I am immature for thinking this way?

Open Question: Are filmmakers, writers, and game developers flaunting social liberties rather than making good movies?
I'm beginning to notice a pattern here. Decades ago, our attitudes to drugs, sex and violence were a lot less relaxed, but there were more classics during that time, and even as it went on. Allow me to give you a textbook example.
In the early 60's, when the first Bond films were released, we had much less relaxed attitudes to the sexual motifs present in the novel, yet the Bond films of the 60's continue to live on as classics. By the 90's, we were more lenient to these things, and since then, the Bond films hadn't had as much luck. Also, in older films, we had better acting, now, most of our actors are either overrated (a la Leonardo DiCaprio) our downright terrible (a la Adam Sandler). I'm beginning to think, and this is my opinion, are writers and filmmakers simply flaunting our social liberties, and focusing on how hardcore they can be, and not on making good movies?
The same example can also be applied to video games. In the 80's, Nintendo was the most popular console maker in the world. There were more games on Nintendo's NES than any other console at the time. At the same time, Nintendo had a Seal of Approval, which shows that a game has been licensed by Nintendo, and they had a thing for censoring "inappropriate" content so they could sell games to kids. However, there are more classics from the NES and SNES era than even now. So are game makers (especially Western developers) focusing more on how hardcore they can be, rather than how good the game actually is, let alone in story (I'm talking about you Gears of War).
I'm not a moralist, I just think there is a pattern going on here, or were the older days of film and games a Golden Age after all? There's got to be something, right?
