Parents — there’s a disturbing new trend amongst teenagers who are trying to get drunk in the most unique ways possible.
A few years ago, dropping shots of vodka directly into your eyes was the allegedly go-to way to get an instant buzz on. Today’s kids are a bit more creative:

During the 2010-2011 school year, a survey of over almost 2000 students in grades 7-12 was conducted by the American Association of University Women to find out HOW MANY TEENAGERS WERE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, whether in person or via text, email, or social media.

Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits
Today they expect there to be 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH.
That’s a lot of mouths to feed, people to clothe, waste to process.
One could expect that the Earth — or our modern infrastructure — was not built to sustain this type of function. More people just means more needs: from power to water, places to live, medicines, beds, etc…

Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples
Living together before marriage: it’s not exactly a growing trend, it’s just something that’s been done for years and years.

It’s all about avoiding the wrath and disappointment of the parents, combined with the realization that the living-in-sin couple might have to pay for their own wedding arrangements, we assume. To each their own. Whatever works.
