Young people are so easily drawn in to believing this is a viable option, and shows like this support that theory, no matter what they claim as intent. <br /><br />I love your spa suggestion for Les, a perfect way to spend a day of luxury, and if no one gives it to you, give it to yourself, you deserve it! <br /><br />https://wjhbhth.blogspot.com/2017/05/tuesday-coffee-chat-50917.htmlJust Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255923265708625496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19855347.post-740855119767725782017-05-10T22:01:45.461-05:002017-05-10T22:01:45.461-05:00I absolutely LOVE the way you think!!

And I am actually due one because Left Brain tried over March Break, but they were fully booked at the one I wanted, so it didn't work out. And my toes definitely need some colour for Spring! (assuming our Spring will arrive.)<br /><br />The think I don't like about that show is it does not seem to offer and alternate solutions, coping mechanisms, or organizations that can help teens in these emotional crises. As Messymimi stated - it just seems to sensationalize the whole thing. And my hubby has said there actually has been a rash of suicide attempts this past month. So.. it doesn't appear to be helping at all! Such a shame, treating an important topic in this manner.

I have not seen the Netflix series ...Forgetfulone,<br /><br />I have not seen the Netflix series "13 Reasons". The topic really doesn't grab me. Based on your description it sounds like Hollyweird is pushing the envelope on the topic. I see stuff all the time in these series where kids are not appropriately dressed, drink too much, drug used, potty mouth language, ....and I'm thinking this can't be how kids really act in real life. Sure, I'm out of touch because I've been out of high school for 37 years and my kids were homeschooled. <br /><br />It's true kids (and adults) use foul language without any forethought. It's hard to imagine kids using bad language in the presence of a teacher or parent but maybe there is a certain truth in that respect because people's attitudes are different and many don't place a lot of importance on sounding respectful. The "F-word" replaces the defiant "forget that" (that's a very tame comparison).<br /><br />Sex is another issue that has gotten way out of hand. I was taught to NOT have sex until I got married and I did the same with our kids but judging how rapid our society morals have declined then I know it's far worse now than when I was younger. People today treat sex way too casually more like a hand shake than something intimate and precious. <br /><br />Programs like "13 Reasons" want you to believe they are bringing awareness to the problem of teen suicide but maybe it's doing just the opposite with intention to further empower socially ill-behaving kids by promoting bullying, teen drinking & drug use, premature sexually, etc. In short, do all they can to cause further rebellion in our youth to destroy them from the inside out. The way to control a nation is to do so through a weak minded people.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your review and for allowing me to share my thoughts. Have an excellent random fun filled day!<br /><br />~Curious as a Cathy<br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2017/05/watercolor-irismothers-day-card/" rel="nofollow">Watercolor Iris Mother's Day card</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.com
