I mean, I know girls who cry over thuer boyfriens, worry about proms, sex, who "all" they think about is themselves and thier seemingly "horrible" lives.

You'd be surprised by the number of people who can cram all that in,
and still have time to read Tolkien. Just because people have social lives, or jobs, or kids, for that matter, doesn't mean they're too busy to appreciate the beauty of true literature. Don't worry so much about "them."

People today don't care about trying to really get something special (beyond short term pleasure/entertainment) out of something like LOTR, for this reason I fear that our classics are in danger.

People aren't any better now than they were before. Really. Not that we shouldn't take issue with present-day problems, but they are yesterday's problems, in new packaging.
