i'm 16 (almost 17) and i've found that in the last year or so i've read the paper and watched the news more than usual, and has anyone noticed how it seems like they always talk about depressing things? what i don't get is, why does the media feel the need to let us know every time a child dies, every time a teenager was shot to death, and every time a soldiergets blown up by an IED? i just don't understand why they need to tell us these things, to the people who write these articles, and the news anchors it's just another day at work for them. i can understand if something really abnormal, or extrordinary happened, like a school shootiong or sometihing, but i don't see why the news doesn't talk more about positive things. and they say videogames desensitize you and cause violence:roll:

another thing that really bugs me is; from the time Anna Nichole Smiths son died, to the time she died the media wouldn't leave her alone, and then after she died THEY STILL DON'T LEAVE HER ALONE! and then what i thought was really stupid is that her funeral was televised *shakes head*

If you don't like it then don't watch it.

19 people killed when a bus full of orphans flipped - boring.

Poverty on the rise - Don't care.

More people die'n due to complications with AIDS - officially played out.

The only news I got emo about in the last 6 months is the news that the MGO servers are going down.

i find it less depressing than how many people don't watch it enough.
