Kids seem to be growing up faster than ever, and these stories highlight the youngest age group acting like adults “too young, too soon” (TYTS). Kids are exposed to many more influences and bad behaviors through television, film, and access to the internet. Are celebrities bad role models for young impressionable children? Between stories of teenage gunmen who are not old enough to carry their weapons, toddlers in tiaras, crazy dance moms, and kids getting plastic surgery as birthday presents, it’s easy to see that maybe growing up too fast can hurt rather than help kids.

  1. To those who are scamming, squatting peoples' houses, stealing, robbing, having a lot of kids, or demanding government handouts and getting rid of college debt… work! I'm 18 and worked my way up to Starbucks manager making $19.15 in N. Dakota, but some gets deducted because of Social Security which is unfair because there are a lot of people faking their disabilities like some of the people in My 600 Pound Life, and I'm hoping to one day take over Starbucks HQ and its 16K US locations and pay a minimum wage of $25 to all of the baristas because I was one too but it likely won't happen until I'm in my 50s.

    You don't see me as the next Angel Brown (search her name here) who has 17 children and demanded money from the government, living in someone else's house, breaking store windows in broad daylight to steal jewelry, assaulting and robbing the innocent, or demanding free money.

  2. I never even touch the phone when I know the car is moving, once I stopped it in a safe area or at a red light I know I have the chance to look at the phone if absolutely necessary but otherwise no
    Edit:I used a woltswagen polo as my trainer car and I got into a spaceship known as a Ford focus 2004(it felt like a spaceship to me) it was hard to drive it cause she was totally different, now I gotten used to it but a new car made it into our family, a roughly 2800 pound(1600kg)ford mondeo, much larger then the ford focus(also the mondeo is from 2008)quite advanced tech and so on, with the experience I got from the Ford focus I was able to very quickly master the mondeo without any issues however the cars size still tricks me, when I think I'm inches away from hitting something, in reality I'm about 1ft+ away from that object so I have to get used to that

  3. NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. Not just texting but for whatever reason. I drove an 18 wheeler for 19 years and kept my eyes in the road constantly. That is what kept me from getting into a wreck. I retired after over two million miles of safe driving. There is no such thing as an accident unless it’s an act of God like a tree falls in front of you.

  4. we should first stop the car at a side and then text or call someone OR if anything that distract you from driving. Always remember to park it in a safe and stable place.

  5. So if we know that teenagers are not that you drive cars why do we allowed to drive cars we need to pass sensible laws that will be 21 years old and older will be able to park it’s very simple people are killing people every day with vehicles but yet when there’s a shooting we have to globalize that but yeah when thousands of people die every day in America long for arthritis that’s not a dealbreaker last notification or on the side

  6. We need to pass sensible automobile driving privilege loss we need to make it a law that if you can’t make your phone while operating a vehicle Lucas Grabeel. So many people died at the hands of other drivers for not paying attention every day in America but what you’re busy board about gun laws

  7. So many people on their cell phones these days I have decided to go back to drinking and driving because it really is enjoyable to have three or four beers on my way home. I’m drinking but I’m staring at the road so I’m still probably safer than those guys.

  8. Can't only blame teens for this all ages do it. Your life won't end if you miss a call. When will people learn to stay off their damn phones while driving!!!

  9. Oh really, you're saying that I shouldn't be distracted while driving. Oooooh, I get it now you are not supposed to text, talk and update your status at the same time while driving. Damn, my parent sure taught me wrong. Guess I won't start a business, cook dinner and file my taxes while driving. Sure is a wake-up call for me!

  10. That poor girl:( Her mom is also to blame. Helicopter parenting to almost death. I young girls texting all the time. If contact with others is that important stop your car somewhere safe. I do this all the time even tho I have hands free.
