Are Teenagers learning what they live?

I think I learned more from society too. Friends, peers, being in high school, the whole "experience"

I think honestly most teenagers are getting more influenced by their society. They pick up habits and mannerisms from their friends like drinking, smoking, thinking its a good idea to skip school ... At the same time though I think some teenagers will take what they learn from scoiety and try to relate it to what their parents are trying to teach them in order to form their own opinion

I think they are learning a lot more from society. I have kids ages 9-16 and the things they know amazes me...either I had a sheltered childhood or they are picking things up from school, tv, and other people that I had no idea about when I was their ages...I think it's a bad thing.
