Sex, drugs, and alcohol consume British culture
June 10th, 2009
A sampling of news items written in the last week from America’s mother, who is “ashamed and confused” (Jeremiah 50:12).
- Boys as young as 12 are being issued ‘Condom Cards’ that entitle them to free condoms, no question asked. No wonder teen pregnancy and abortion rates are off the charts in Britain.
- The number of young people (aged 13-24) seeking drug and alcohol treatment in the UK has risen by 12% in the last year, with a 44% increase since 2006.
- On the playground, Ring Around the Rosy and Row Your Boat have been replaced by songs about sex. The new racy lyrics are being imported from movies and songs that are marketed to young people.
- A new study indicates that 7% of women under the age of 25 are users of cocaine. This is being blamed on increased alcohol use and the “social acceptance” of chronic drug abusers such as Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse.
- Speaking of alcohol, 49% of Brits say they are drinking more alcohol during the day, mostly due to fears over the economy.
