Why are SoCal girls so incredibly screwed up?
Why is the culture in southern california so diseased. I've been to plenty of states and countries, and its only socal where i see sluts who disrespect their parents, vomit in their cars their parents bought them, only think about sex, and even at such a young age! Why is this? Why are girls so indecent here.

There is nothing wrong with California girls. Yeah, some of them are wild. Rich kids or those who come from very religious homes tend to be the most screwed up due to a combination of overindulgent parenting, sacrificing time with their kids in the name of their careers and the "money solves everything" mentality of the first group and sexual and cultural repression by the second.
It sounds like you want to control other people. What gets me is that in the south, everybody seems so polite on a surface level, but when you get past that front you see a lot of cruelty, fear, anti-intellectualism, nosiness and superstition. In fact, a goodly share of this country's social ills are most pronounced not in California, but in the South, including that of teenage pregnancy (Mississippi is number one in that, so be proud denizens of that state! Okay, maybe not).
Most Californians are hard working, which is why it is still the eighth largest economy in the world. It is also creative, which explains Hollywood, the tv and music industries and Silicon Valley. Orange County, which was founded by a couple of white supremacists (true story) is very conservative, as is San Diego. Riverside County has a lot of transplanted southerners, which may explain the meth problem there (like the meth problem in Kentucky, for example), the Klan's presence and how generally white trash it is.
The Central Valley is also very conservative and, again, gangs and drugs are rampant there, as are foreclosures.
Finally, look at the history of this country: Americans are a rowdy, rebellious lot, which is why we kicked England out of it. Respecting authority has never really been our thing, which may be why we often glorify outlaws like Jesse James and Billy the Kid.
California has always been a place where people came from the uptight and more socially stratified east coast or from overseas to remake themselves and they continue to flow in not just from Mexico, but from all over Asia and Europe for that reason. That creates a more easy going and tolerant culture where folks mind their own business (well, not to mention that if you disrespect the wrong person you may get a bullet in your head). If you can't handle that, move.

I think you can find this problem all over but probably more openly there. It really has to do with their upbringing and what their parents are like. If they live in a single parent home or have very busy parents, chances are they don't have any responsibilities, respect for their elders or respect for themselves. I hope this helps and good luck.

The answer to all of your questions is the internet. Well, most of it, the rest is the simple fact that you make grand assumptions based upon your limited experience because you're so egocentric that you cannot imagine that the world differs from your small sample pool of experience you draw from.
But since we don't need to explain that you jump to erroneous conclusions and make wild sweeping generalizations about them, let's talk about the internet.
The internet's impact on the behavior of teenagers has had a two fold influence since it's inception. The first is to give an open air to the teen angst that has always been there, a public forum for the airing of grievances that already existed in every teen since the beginning of time. Rebellious teens at odds with their parents is a tale that is quite literally older than Jesus, and you're just far more aware of it than society has ever had the opportunity to be before because of facebook, myspace, and the fast growing "blog generation" out there.
The second is a bit more of a subtle impact, but the connection to information allows an unprecedented amount of exposure to facts and opinions which can and often do contradict those of your parents. Where your grandfather grew up almost entirely within the confines of the views of his family and community you live now in a place where you can access a thousand viewpoints on any given subject with a simple google search.
This has the unfortunate side effect of highlighting the staggering ignorance of a significant portion of the American populace. And let's face it, once a kid figures out they're smarter than their parents, the respect is pretty much gone for good.
The world is waking up from a 50 year bout of escapist fantasy to the tune of pleasantville and leave it to beaver. Our parents believed in, invested in, and fought for that petty, shallow life represented by the white picket fence and bought into all the moralistic rhetoric everyone hawking that view of the world spat out, and now here we are a generation later trying to cope with a real world which is no fantasy and which the previous generation let go entirely to shit.
Personally I'm waiting for a regime change, but in regards to you and your feedback my previous points stand. You see the world through shit covered glasses because you embrace a perspective on life my generation is actively trying to kill.
Sorry, but them's the breaks. And you can't blame us for fucking it up once in a while, after all, it's not like we had any decent role models for figuring out how to behave like sane, functional adults.
And if you really want to blame the party girl behavior on something, just remember that your generation runs the media that's poisoned a significant portion of mine.
