Quote by Abigail Van Buren
It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from 'Dear Abby' instead of going to Mom and Dad.
Summary
This quote highlights the decline in traditional family values and the increasing reliance of young people on external sources for advice and guidance. It suggests that instead of seeking wisdom and support from their parents, who ideally should be pillars of support and knowledge, youth are turning to popular columns like "Dear Abby" as a substitute. It implies a sense of disappointment in the breakdown of familial relationships and the loss of parental figures as primary sources of guidance in the modern world.
