The ideas of innocence and childhood are diminishing so quickly because in today's society children are no longer children. They are being forced to grow up to quickly. A generation ago the world was more innocent in itself compared to the present time. Children acted as kids not as adults. They didn't sit in front of computer screens and television sets where "sex sells" everything. Same goes for mostly all of today's music lyrics. Things have become more sexual, kids want to experience all of these things being expressed to them as wonderful and good feeling. There are more cases today of divorced parents and the end result being that the oldest kid in the house acts like a parent and must take care of the household when theseminar paragraph parents are working. I feel that society today puts an extreme amount of pressure on children to grow up quickly as a way of themselves "fitting in." It's like monkey see monkey do. I think it's seen a great deal in the setting of a high school were girls and guys will dress a certain way, say or do certain things, just to be apart of the "in crowd." The innocence is slowly going away because the media and the world in general are starting to target kids of younger and younger age groups.
