Peter T, I think it is going to be so interesting to watch as things go on. What I mean is, just seeing the difference in our culture from the time when I was a teen to how it is now and what it means for a teen's self esteem when it comes to sexuality and race. My girls chuckle when I tell them when I was a kid, even braces were things of ridicule, when today, they are seen as a fad with the different colors and all that.Also, how so many things that were once "shocking" or even frowned upon are now seen as regular and normal. Though, in some ways it makes me wonder what things may replace or take the place of the things we see today that are changing.
