Ahhh, Kids

According to those who track this sort of thing, teenagers today are having less sex and doing fewer drugs. There was no data on rock and roll usage.

Yes, I know statistics can be massaged to say whatever those wielding the statistics want them to say. But, looking closely at this study, I'm afraid there's only one way to interpret it -- these kids need a mentor.

Rather than a Big Brother program, think of it more like a Cool Albeit Somewhat Wayward Uncle Program (CASWUP). Feel free to turn your baseball cap sideways and say it with me, "CASWUP!"

So, as the inaugural gesture of CASWUP, I think a quick vocabulary lesson is required. Kids, your first assignment is to learn this word. There will be a test. Tough love.
