i tend to think most kids these days are being handed anything they want when they want it and its created a generation where its all about 'me' and its creating an era where they have no respect for themselves which in turns leads to them not respecting anyone else and they know they can get away with virtually anything because even the law gives them an excuse to do anything they want with very little in the way of repercussions
they have RIGHTS unfortunately they arent being taught the responsibility that goes with those rights and you cant even tell them no or criticise then in school these days, ive heard teachers can no longer tell them their school work (if they do it) is wrong anymore because you might stifle their creativity which in turn could have them spending years in therapy and being told its all their parents/societies fault they are the way they are
the worst thing they have ever done is taken the right of the cops to charge them with obscene language for swearing in public especially at the elderly, time to bring back on the spot fines for it make a few keep their potty mouths at home
these days they can (for example) do as they like knowing they will only get a slap on the wrist
where i live here i have encountered both ends of the stick, have found most of the kids around here under 13 to be fairly good, respectful, well mannered and polite to everyone then you get the over 13's who are bad, disrespectful, rude and foul mouthed, its like they hit the teens and a switch goes off and flex their wings
i too grew up in a society where we were taught to respect our elders and we got that respect back and we also knew that if we did something wrong we were punished for it, i remember the two worse things as i grew up were having mustard or something similar put on my tongue if i swore and that was for words like damn, etc lol and the other thing that use to pull me in line really quick was 'wait till your father got home' and being given a kick in the **** by anyone other then my parents if i did something wrong
now i am in total agreement with wiping out child abuse but its time to remember there is a difference between smacking a child for doing something wrong AND over use of which in turn becomes child abuse and kids these days KNOW they can have you charged if you 'abuse' them and the law will back them up which is another reason society is failing these days and a lot of parents have kids these days that they really dont want
meet someone and the first thing most want is to have a kid to them like it will guarantee that they will stay together for years or they have a child just for the money
single mothers use to be a rarity, these days its fast becoming a new profession and is in a lot of cases breeding children who are raised by parents who just dont care anymore so long as the child isnt annoying them for anything they dont seem to care what they do or where they go etc, so many kids roam the streets in gangs at night these days and half the parents dont even know where they are
