I'M DOOMED!!

Well I've reached a new low...... I'm computer illiterate according to my children. I don't have the capability of being tech savy according to them.  But then what do you expect. I use the computer at home sporadically (Because thet hog it all day long). They place passwords on everything....everyone has their own account on the computer so when I long in I have to bypass of sign in as myself to get to what I want to get to. I JUST WANNA USE THE COMPUTER !!!!!!! No passcode or passwords.... I just want to sit down and do what I have to do without having to go or switch anything. I'm feeling more and more like the cluless mother I've always thought I am. I'm being proven right uuuggghhhh!!!!!

DEFINING CLUELESS

Well here is what I mean by clueless and incidental. You may agree or disagree with me but this is what I'm seeing.
It's early morning and I'm dropping off my youngest off at school. As I'm leaving the campus, there's this young girl across that street carrying a small child, Newborn by the looks of it. It's about 62 degrees and she's carrying this baby like it's some sort of rag doll. The baby is dressed in a onesie and nothings else. Momma is wearing short sleeve shirt and jeans, It might not be cold for her but in my opinion, it's pretty chilly for a newborn. This is where the clueless and the incidental come into play. As I mentioned before, not all of us are born to be mothers. She was very young ( I know, no excuse), but still, she was alone, which I'm assuming that she was left on her own to do the mothering business. She probably does not have the foresight to think that the child is more than likely going to get sick on her ( the clueless part). She's also been thrown into this situation ( having to look after a child  she bore because she probably didn't have the mindset to think that she could and would get pregnant if she wasn't careful.
Yes I know that sex is prevalent in all media and everywhere we look and our children have grown up seeing and listening to sex in all sort of manner. In the media, in advertisement, in magazines in the games we buy them. It's out there and it can't be subdued or hidden. The problem is, I don't think we are teaching our children what they need to know. Teenagers are still getting pregnant, High schools are full of your females  that are pregnant. So they're seeing the sex and sexuality everywhere but is it connecting with their mentality? Where's the sex education. What are we missing? That is my question. Any input would be welcome. Let me know what you all think.
